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.

> And who suddenly made it a contest about where there's more better pizza?

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.

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.

I really don't care!
