We are New Yorker's and believe we have not had a local Pizza that is like what you find in New York. The closes we have come is Piesano's for Italian food. In addition we have spent extended time traveling in Italy including renting a Tuscany Villa and stays in Rome, Naples etc.and the Italian Pizza is kind of unique as it has a little different taste than New York but both are remarkably good. Of course every country and location has it's own method of cooking and so because one does not taste the same as the other does not make it better or worse.
