We reached out to @Jessanotherslice, one of our contributors, to share some insights into her adventures in eating and rating pizza in New York City! See below for the results!
I have come up with 20 of my favorite slice shops in New York City.
Then, I realized doing a ranking of all 20 was too difficult, so I did a further breakdown and organized them by flavor (i.e. Plain, Pepperoni, Vodka, Burrata, & Buffalo Chicken Ranch). Each review consists of the rating for Yelp, Google Maps and lists the neighborhood as well as nearby subways. Enjoy!
