You fold it then you eat it.

I cannot think of a single slice shop (non-chain) in NY / NJ where you they produce pies like you describe. They are making the pizza from scratch.

They reheat the slices until they run out of a pie. Then they make a new pie and put it on the counter.

I think what you mean is that most most New York style pizza outside of greater New York area is not great. I don't know what I'd call it.

Standard fare, affordable pizza in the US is mediocre outside of the North East. But that's OK, we can't even BBQ.

I’m very aware, then you get a grease slick coming down your arm or pants. Ruined many a shirt that way.

If that was unavoidable, you'd see thousands of people on the streets of the five boroughs walking around with grease all over their arms and pants. Hilarious image.
I hate to say it, but it doesn’t seem like you’re very aware.

I grew up eating this greasy stuff; you either dab the grease off with a napkin or fold it and let it drip on the plate.

You don’t do what you described unless you’re unaware that it’s going to happen. If you indeed ruined many a shirt this way, you are so incredibly unaware that I stand aghast at your unawareness.

What do you consider good pizza? American chain pizza style?

You mention Neapolitan pizza, but that's typically a very wet pizza from oil and fresh mozzarella as well.

Point it down and not up.
