We like Flippers too except for the fact that they don't put oregano on their pies. A pizza pie without oregano is not really a pizza.

If you ever do go to NYC--or northern Jersey, even--DON'T have the pizza!! You will never again like any other pizza.

Since you say it's so. I believe YOU, C. You have never led me astray.

What is it that makes the pizza there better?

La Rosa's has a thin yeasty crunchy crust with the cheese covering the pepperoni and has just a tad of sweetness to the tomato sauce that is permeated with all of the good Italian spices. YUM.

Been to NYC, like other pizza. Been to Boston, like other lobster. Been to France, like other cooking. Been to Iowa, like no other steak.:jester::jester::jester:

Maybe you meant, "used to be great." Chengs hasn't been great since the new people took over almost a year ago. The new people would say they're there temporarily until the original owner comes back from China but as time passed it became obvious that the original owner was not coming back. Forgive the digression from NYPD Pizza.

Chicago, is anybody here from Chicago? Because I believe that pizza in the U.S. started in Chicago, not NY. But nobody raves about Chicago pizza?

Lombardi's in New York has laid claim to the first Pizzaria in the states.
Lombardi's Pizza
Somehow, I think that there are some conflicting opinions among those from the windy city. However, immigrants to the U.S. usually hit New York first and some of those immigrants were peddling pizza on the streets of New York in the late 1800s.

What happened to NYPD. Went last night and I would have done better to buy digiornos

UGH
Tasted like canned sauce
Pizza was dry
NY pizza need to be able to be folded and have the oil drip
I take back my vote that it tasted like NY now it tastes WORSE than the rest of TV pizza

Just an FYI and MY thoughts.

Not saying NY pizz is the best - it happens to be where I come from. I'm sure pizza where YOU come from is your best. However:

Down here in South Florida (almost to TV permanently) almost EVERY pizza place indicates "New York Style Pizza."

The ONLY resemblance to NY is that their pizza is round !

Although pizza was being made in NY, Philly,and Chicago about the same time, I believe it is widely accepted Lombardi's in NY was the first pizzaria. Chicago-style deep-dish pizza was not created until 1943, about 40 years after Lombardi's

I am totally bewildered. Look I posted the the original opinion on NYPD Pizza, (Read) my opinion.

It generated various opinions/comments on the place. The most ridiculous ones came from those who gave various opinions on other out of state pizza places. ZERO BEARING.

Nothing at all to do with NYPD Pizza. Even after all the negative comments an individual had to see for himself and sure enough came out disappointed. Look the place is a joke, make your own dough,or go to your favorite supermarket get some ready made pizza dough and make it yourself, add your own toppings.

As I have stated they have a few loyal followers big deal their, ( NYPD ) Pizza is nothing more than ordinary, run of the mill pizza that can be found in any Supermarket Frozen Food Section, Bland, Tasteless, Skimpy Toppings,. This is my last comment regarding NYPD Pizza. Boring !!

I like the frozen $1 pizza from Sav-A-Lot better than the pizza at NYPD.

Try Angelo's. It is outside the bubble.

I think Cincinnati made La Rosa's pizza is the best in the world. Truth be told the pizza that you grew up with is the best. Chicago people say their pizza is the best and New York say their's is the best. They don't know because most of them have not ever been to Cincinnati. :icon_hungry:


The guy who designed and built the Brooklyn Bridge built our Cincinnati bridge first. Ours is prettier.

Outa here and hiding under the bed.

I agree with you on this. I'm from N.Y. and I know it's the best, but I also know many people who don't like it. My nephew in California actually thinks Pizza Hut is good. To me, that doesn't even resemble pizza. My choice in the Villages is Bravo. I've heard a lot of good reviews of Belleview but haven't been there yet. NYPD is not N.Y. pizza.

Lou Malnati's (my personal favorite) and Gino's East in Chicago. Delicious!
