NYC

New York City pizzerias we have been patronizing since the 1970s (year indicates our first visit)

Ben's Pizzeria, 1979
Gary's fave for sicilian, not much on decor, but he swears by it

John's Pizzeria Times Square, 1979
Lovely because it's in an old church and the best pizza in Times Square

John's Pizzeria Bleecker Street, 1979
One of the oldest pizza spots in the city, classic NYC style

Juliana's (formerly Grimaldi's, formerly Patsy's) in Brooklyn 1990
The gold standard, the pizzeria by which all others are measured

Lombardi's, 1979
First pizzeria in the US, and lives up to the expectations

My Little Pizzeria in Brooklyn, 1987
No frills, good spot for a quick slice

Numero 28 Pizzeria, 2015
Darn good thin crust, served on long vertical planks

Sam's Italian Cuisine in Brooklyn, 1987
Old school family Italian restaurant where the toughest decision is whether to go chicken parm or pizza
