Thanks Jules, I was wondering because when I look up pics of famous NY pizza, for the most part I find them looking kinda thick and greasy.
Having tasted real Italian pizza you're kinda spoiled for the rest of your pizza eating life, which sucks cause there are only a handfull of good pizzaria's in my city.

On a related note; I hate it when they use regular cheese topping instead of mozzarella

Those are my personal two favorites, def mozzarella and def not thick and greasy

One thing I remember about Lombardi's is the cheese. Now you would think cheese would be readily available to anyone in Anytown USA, but I just don't know how that works. There really does seem to be a quality ingredient void in the vast majority of restaurants out there.

What I remember about Lombardi's was the story about the Pizza Oven they have. Thing is OG and like one of the originals dating back to the 1900s (or earlier, can't recall).

is it worth the visit? you mean the one in yonkers right?

Pepe's is prob. one of, if not, the most famous pizzeria in the nation. It's in the Wooster Square neighborhood of New Haven, where pizza reigns surpreme. Modern Apizza, Sally's apizza, Pepe's and countless others. Pepe's has expanded to both Fairfield, Connecticut and Yonkers, NY. While these are Pepe's establishments, they are not the original and won't stack up to the location in New Haven. For the authentic New Haven apizza you need to go to New Haven.

It's worth the trip. You can eat there and then you can try Louis Lunch for dinner, home of the original hamburger. They steam them and put them on white bread with onions and tomatoes, NO KETCHUP they will kick you out if you ask for it. It's a great late night snack when the bars close down...

But I've had New York pizza and New Haven apizza, and New Haven pizza is a lot better to me. New York pizza is greasy just like most pizza joints in Connecticut. As for as Chicago pizza, it's deep dish with a thick and doughy crust correct? If so to me that sounds very similar to greek pizza, which is not bad.
  

Kickin that realness brahh.  I've had a pie from Modern, probably the 2nd best I've ever had.  Pepe's is the dopest.  My boy has a crib in CT and we go there everytime were up there.  I've never had Sally's because the wait is too long and they leave the phone off the hook.  
In terms of NY pizza though 

-Patsy's on 118th

-Joe's on Carmine

-John's

-Spumoni Gardens in Bensonhurst is bangin but I've only had it once

Supposedly the best in NY is Di Fara's in BK.  The owner is like 70 and he's the only one who makes the pies.  The slices cost $5 and if the old man is not working the store is not open.  I heard they also get all of their ingredients imported straight from Italy.  Never been there but def gonna make a trip.
