I didn't say they were illegitimate. They are certainly pizza spots. Acting like it's not a good list because the poster didn't go to the top 5 most famous tourist traps for pizza is just indicating more on your part.

>"Outer-borough superiority is a myth. Most local outer-borough places are simply bad. This includes all the usual suspect neighborhoods: Belmont, Pelham Bay, Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, most of Staten Island, etc. The good places are the exception in the outer boroughs, just as they are in Manhattan."

I didn't say all the places in the outer-boroughs were inherently better. I said a list where the individual actually went to the outer-boroughs is more qualified in my opinion. I don't really care what someone thinks about pizza if they just went to the top 5 places that they saw on instagram. I also don't really care about your opinion on pizza too. Oh you went to pelham bay and didn't get a good slice at the joint you chose? Seems more like a you problem. Maybe make some friends, talk to the locals. I grew up in an outer-borough and I know the good spots in my neighborhood and the bad. Seems like you have difficulty navigating these things. Sorry about that.

You’re dismissing a very legitimate quality difference in inner vs outer boroughs. There’s like 3 or 4 notable places in outer Brooklyn (s/o krispy pizza) that can compete with the dozens of incredible slices in inner Brooklyn.

I’ve spent less time in Queens, but it seems Queens really does have a lot of great food outside of the hotspots.

Here's my take... if the pizza place isn't covered in little league baseball team portraits and autographed photos from the 90s and earlier, I don't want to hear about it. And who suddenly made it a contest about where there's more better pizza? And since when did Brooklyn become an inner borough? oh since you moved here and decided you needed to find the 'best slice'? Here's a suggestion, go find a new yorker and ask them to take you to their favorite pizza place where they grew up. Go do that, and then tell me how fucking amazing inner brooklyn is. The point isn't that L'Industrie isn't good. The point is that if all you do is go to popular pizza places, because that's what's popular, you don't really get what's awesome about NYC pizza. I'm glad you enjoy the food. But what makes NYC Pizza what it is, is the fact that everyone knows a good spot where they are from. It's all over the city, but folks like you gotta make lists.

Oh, and you heard that Queens has good food too? Wow, we've got Pete Wells over here! Share more secrets.

But this is a thread about pizza. It’s a guy who tried 400 slices of pizza. You think he only tried 400 slices because his kids played on a little league team? So that’s my take. In no way am I saying Williamsburg is objectively better than Bay Ridge in all aspects of life (if anything I’d say the opposite I’d probably never live in Williamsburg), which for some reason you took from my post. I’m saying the pizza tastes better to a person who doesn’t have an emotional attachment to some other place.

> It's all over the city, but folks like you gotta make lists.

You seem very confused about the post you’re commenting on. It’s a list. I mean, it’s a map, but for all intents and purposes it’s a list. It doesn’t capture anything that you seem to care about when it comes to slice shops. It actually only seems to note price which is perhaps the shallowest metric out there.

Also yeah, Ill go ahead and say elmhurst has better food than Bensonhurst just to see what your reaction is lol.

It is a thread about pizza, I'm not sure how that implicitly becomes a pizza-ranking contest, but I think you are making my point for me. Do you think I only went to those places because I had kids that played little league sponsored by the pizza place? So confused by your assertion. You are trying to turn everything into an ordinated list because you lack meaning in your life, and I'm sorry for you about that.

>"Also yeah, Ill go ahead and say elmhurst has better food than Bensonhurst just to see what your reaction is lol."

I really don't care!
