- 0:06Speaker 1: As you know, pizza might be one of America's most
- 0:09Speaker 1: hotly debated foods, with fierce opinions on everything from crust
- 0:13Speaker 1: style to toppings. Every region swears its local slice is
- 0:17Speaker 1: the best and it isn't afraid to defend it.
- 0:20Speaker 2: And now a Reddit.
- 0:22Speaker 1: User on the unpopular opinion sub what is it subreddit Yeah,
- 0:26Speaker 1: boldly declared.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Are you ready for this? Christine? This is a quote.
- 0:30Speaker 2: This is not me. There's nothing special about New York pizza.
- 0:35Speaker 2: End quote.
- 0:36Speaker 3: How dare they?
- 0:37Speaker 2: They continue to write?
- 0:38Speaker 1: I feel like anytime the topic of pizza comes up
- 0:41Speaker 1: that one person from the New York area just has
- 0:44Speaker 1: to mention that it's nothing compared to the pizza in
- 0:47Speaker 1: New York City.
- 0:48Speaker 3: Well, I mean there's awesome pizza in New York City,
- 0:51Speaker 3: and New York City you're talking about that includes Brooklyn,
- 0:54Speaker 3: the boroughs, everybody.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Yeah, And then the quote goes on, I've been to
- 0:58Speaker 1: New York City, I've had their pizza. Yeah, it was good,
- 1:01Speaker 1: but it's basically the same as the pizza I had
- 1:04Speaker 1: back home.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Two blocks from my house.
- 1:06Speaker 3: Where's your house?
- 1:06Speaker 2: There's nothing special about it? Yeah, where's your house?
- 1:09Speaker 3: Come on?
- 1:10Speaker 2: Well, sure enough, that whole.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Reddit thread just blew up and people are talking about it.
- 1:15Speaker 1: And where do we go from here?
- 1:17Speaker 3: New Jersey?
- 1:18Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:19Speaker 3: I mean when you say New York pizza, I in
- 1:22Speaker 3: my head automatically clump Jersey in there, like you know,
- 1:25Speaker 3: the Northeast.
- 1:26Speaker 2: I agree, we just have the best pizza even Connecticut.
- 1:28Speaker 3: But yes, Connecticut, Pepe's, it's a Pepe's piece. But if
- 1:32Speaker 3: you're gonna, if you're really gonna break it down, we
- 1:35Speaker 3: have some awesome pizza in New Jersey. Mario's, Clifton, New Jersey.
- 1:40Speaker 3: They don't pay me, they don't know who I am.
- 1:41Speaker 3: But I tell you every single.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Time if we say a pizza joint, by the way.
- 1:46Speaker 3: Yeah, we are so not. But their pizza is just incredible.
- 1:51Speaker 3: And that's going to Connecticut. That's like Eric and I
- 1:54Speaker 3: doing pizza taste tests because somebody has to. That's us
- 1:57Speaker 3: going to Connecticut and having the pizza there.
- 1:59Speaker 1: And in Brooklyn, you'll sometimes go out of your way
- 2:01Speaker 1: for that pizza, right yeah, Like yeah, our go to
- 2:04Speaker 1: is Maria's in Milltown, New Jersey, which is right next
- 2:07Speaker 1: to us in East Brunswick, New Jersey. It's called Maria's.
- 2:10Speaker 1: We enjoy that place. But yeah, Jersey does have a
- 2:13Speaker 1: lot of great pizza, so I agree with you. We're
- 2:16Speaker 1: all in the same boat here. But when they say
- 2:18Speaker 1: New York it's Jersey, I.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Kind of clump us in. But you know, New Jersey,
- 2:22Speaker 3: We've got the pizza, We've got the bagels, We've got
- 2:24Speaker 3: a lot of good stuff. I think this is nationwide.
- 2:27Speaker 3: People are saying they love Chicago tavern style pizza, Detroit style,
- 2:32Speaker 3: and Chicago deep dish. So if that's what you're into,
- 2:36Speaker 3: it's it's not going to work because we love I
- 2:39Speaker 3: think the thin crust, crispy crust.
- 2:42Speaker 2: I love that, And they always say, what the water
- 2:44Speaker 2: is a big part of it. Yes, with the bagels too.
- 2:46Speaker 3: The same with the bagels pizza. That's why you go
- 2:48Speaker 3: to places like, you know, other parts of the country
- 2:51Speaker 3: and you're like, please, don't even bother with bagels. Just don't.
- 2:54Speaker 1: I'm checking off this Reddit thread and somebody said the
- 2:57Speaker 1: best pizza I ever had is Atlanta. Atlanta matches the
- 3:01Speaker 1: best pizza in New York City. That's kind of random.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Do you think it comes down to where you live.
- 3:06Speaker 1: You're kind of defending your city more than the actual food.
- 3:10Speaker 3: Well I think there's some city pride with that too,
- 3:12Speaker 3: But like legit, what we're saying, right, the pizza, the dough,
- 3:17Speaker 3: the crispiness. If that's what you prefer, that's what we have.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Somebody said, my personal rankings is number one Chicago Tavern Style,
- 3:26Speaker 1: number two, Detroit Style, number three, Chicago Deep Dish. Does
- 3:29Speaker 1: it even put New York in the top five? Someone
- 3:32Speaker 1: says New Haven wins new Haven?
- 3:36Speaker 3: Wait? Where is the Is that the name of the
- 3:37Speaker 3: pizza Pepees?
- 3:38Speaker 2: Is it? Yeah?
- 3:40Speaker 3: Pepe's Pizza. Okay, so that's in Connecticut. I know Eric
- 3:44Speaker 3: has driven me through there many times. You know, I
- 3:46Speaker 3: always let you know when we're driving through in Connecticut,
