Whenever I finally revisit NYC, I will probably try a few NYC slices from a few pizza places that are often recommended a little more than others.
I had one trip around 15 years ago, where I ended up having pizza twice, and both were Neapolitan style (Don Antonio which is within walking distance from the Broadway theaters, and Motorino further south), none were NYC -style. I was pizza-ed out, and I didn’t really seek out any pizza on subsequent trips.
I lived near a Famous Original Rays in the 90s, and I liked their spinach mushroom slice back then. Around 10 years ago, I went for a visit down memory lane, getting a slice at a Famous Original Rays or some sort of Rays, on the West Side, and it didn’t hit the spot. LOL. So I haven’t been back to any Rays, Famous Original or Not.
Scarr’s on the Lower East Side is the Pizzeria my cousin, who lived in Manhattan for 20 years, loved around the time she left NYC. She moved to Jersey City in 2020.
