[QUOTE=mgjim;586923 But, having lived in Italy, I still haven't found an American pizza that matches what I was able to find there. [/QUOTE]

I agree, I haven't found pizza in the U.S like I had so many times in Italy. I've looked all over and nothing comes close. That being said, in the U.S. I prefer NY pizza. It isn't remotely similar to Italian but it's great in its own way. I don't think water has anything to do with the quality of NY pizza since NY City water comes from all over. Westchester County, Sullivan and several other locations are homes to NY City reservoirs. Good NY pizza can be found all over the NY area including New Jersey and Connecticut and these areas all have their own water sources. I think it has everything to do with knowing how to make pizza in this style. I'm heading north next week for the holidays and as usual, our first dinner in NY will be pizza.
