I love that seafood place & sometimes fantasize about gorging myself to death there

But isn’t wetness (for lack of a better word) one defining characteristic of Neapolitan pizza, thus forcing the diner to eat the pizza with a knife and fork? I’ve never been to Naples but the “real” Neapolitan pies I’ve had Stateside (eg, Babbo) tended to be nearly soupy in the middle. I remember mentioning this on CH and I was informed that that is the style.

not at all, we live at the epicenter of nyc-style pizza but probably average a slice or two every couple of months. I prefer what comes our of our oven which is usually pan or “nyc elite” style.
we could have a long discussion about whether floppinenss in nyc pizza is a flaw introduced by the pizza maker (I believe it is) but let’s save that for another day, another thread.
best,

Let me correct myself, then. It’s mostly the amount of cheese & resulting greasiness I don’t care for when it comes to NY-style pizza.
While most Neapolitan pies I’ve had may require knife and fork (which I don’t mind - and why would I? I eat most foods with utensils), I’ve yet to have “soupy” pizza. That’s just undercooked dough in the middle & shouldn’t happen.
But generally, folks should eat whichever pizza makes them happy. Even cold, out of the fridge. Just don’t offer it to me.

I don’t get the hype for Roberta’s. Other than it used to be a ridiculous wait to get in a place packed with hipsters just so you could say you’ve been. I would tell you it’s not worth the bother.

I won’t stand in line for many foods, least of all pizza. Def not in a ridiculously long line. There are plenty of places in Berlin that are so hyped that there is a line at all times. It can’t possibly all be that good.
Thx for the heads up!
Business trip to NYC again. After a pretty boring meeting in Midtown that ended at 11AM I made my way to Los Tacos No 1! No queues outside, could order immediately, and had a beef and pork taco. Really good again.

I second this. Never have understood the cult of Roberta’s.
