Completely wrong.

Moreover, what is NY pizza? Is it Brooklyn pizza, is it Ray's (if so, which one)?

DC - Menomale or Puppatella

VA - Colony Grill (though I'm from Stamford, CT where it originated, so a little bias here, but it truly is great very thin crust pizza).

I've yet to try the Pepe's that just opened, but have had the original which is quite good.

For good cheap option pizza, DC area generally doesn't do this as well as NYC/tri state area that have so many good cheap pizza options... but Andy's comes close.

DC - 2 Amys
MD - Inferno Pizzeria (Margherita) and Emma Rossi (Veedone)

Thankfully Inferno is 5 mins down the road and Emma Rossi periodically goes to the wineries. But hands down my favorite pizza is Emma Rossi's Verdone (pesto, mozza, balsamic glaze, etc).

NY Style - still haven't found a place better than Mama Lucia.

I tried this last weekend on the recommendations here and was really disappointed. Was way too thick and saucy/cheesy to be NY style. Kind of sloppy, sauce too sweet.

These are a bit out there location-wise but have been good:

MD -
Anthony's (Clarksville)
Sonny's NY Pizza (Eldersburg)

But I can make that at home at not pay $18 for a pie that feeds one hungry person. I personally do not even think of anything in this area as pizza. Most of it is characterized by too thick crust and gobs of cheese and ketchup style sauce to make up for the poor quality ingredients.

Tony's in Fairfax is real Brooklyn pizza.

Tony’s is not that good, come on. Pomodoro’s was better but they closed.

This!

So sad Pomodoro's closed - loved their bread/rolls - their "small" cheese pizza was bigger than a lot of places Large. And super good.

Mama Lucia’s?!?!?! That pizza is disgusting. Pp, please look to other recs on this thread, many of which are very good albeit not NY style.

Another who agrees Pomodoro's was far superior to Tony's. Sometimes we'd go multiple times a week for either their pizza or chicken parm-to this day my husband's favorite. So unfortunate

Wow, what a great idea for a thread, Great restaurants that used to be in DC area that are now gone.

Don’t kill me, but I got the double pepperoni Brooklyn crust from Dominoes recently and it was GOOD.

NY style pizza is the slice you can get regularly many places. Fresh, hot, thin foldy crust, good quality cheese, sauce that is perfectly balanced. Sprinkle with oregano and red pepper, enjoy on paper plate. Not wood fired neopolitan style.

Can someone recommend a good NY style pizza in MoCo?

There really is not any good pizza in MoCo, NY style or otherwise.

Your assertion ignores the question. Sounds like you are not really from NY or you would know the difference.

Where can you get good deep dish pizza?
