WHAT is it though that separates their pizza from anyone else’s? Because from what he stated, people anywhere can recreate a NY slice or CHI slice by using the same ingredients and methods unless there is some ingredient(s) only NYers have access to. I’m genuinely curious because I’ve heard from countless NYers who try pizza outside the boroughs that people market as a “NY slice” say that it doesn’t hold up. I’ve heard stuff like “it’s the NY water” and other similar hullabaloo as to why it can’t be replicated.

Well pizzas are broken down into styles. It's the dough, thickness of the dough, and tomato sauce which makes it unique to NY. There nothing special about the ingredients. It's just the style unique to NY

Where's a Philly Cheese steak is just kind of an ordinary sandwich in comparison. That's how I see it but I see what you mean.

The bagels can seldom be replicated as well.

it might be the water.

^^^ Johnny Drama in Entourage said it was the water so it has to be that...

That might be where I heard it from.

^^^ But there’s lots of places in LA that claim to serve “NY-style” pizza and New Yorkers swear it’s not as good as actual NY pizza.

Do New Yorkers like any non New York things or people tho?

 

[jjs07]

Not NYC pizza w/o the water... That's what makes it NYC.

Only on the internet NYers.

I had a cousin from NYC come visit with his girl and they liked our Mexican food and greenery.

When you're dealing with dough there are a lot of variables at play. The over-arching hypothesis to the success of NY pizza is supposed to be in the water profile. NY tap water is known for having low mineral content in comparison to other regions where pizza isn't a flagship. This is supposed to be the reason why a lot of "NY-style" pizza places apparently get NY tap water shipped to them. This might also explain why NY bagels are better than bagels out of state.

Anywho...another smashburger night:

It’s some of the best water in the country. It has been proven. What are you on about honestly

It's pretty much this though. If I went to Cali I would expect to get better Mexican and .

Like LA/SF, NY does just about everything well but has their own stand-outs just like the west coast does.

Actually Cali has some of the best water in the country

 

[shotsrangout]

Mexican food in nyc is terrible. Have never had a good experience. Always mediocre or trash.

What makes this funnier is that the last sentence before the list is "New York City believe it or not has some of the best tap water in the country. New York’s delicious water comes from aquifers of the Catskill Mountains.", before going into a list of the "best tasting" water.

Your reading comprehension so trash.
