Because it isn’t that great in New York, it’s the idea of it being in New York that makes people think it tastes great and this is especially true if it’s cheap pizza bc people are thrilled with the bargain price and convince themselves it’s awesome. The price is awesome, the pizza not so much.

+1 same goes for the bagels. Same reason a St. Louis Budweiser tastes very different than anywhere else.

Valentino's is the closest I've found in the area. I'm from Philly/Jersey shore and agree with a PP that it's something about the water that makes bread, bagels, pizza dough, etc., better up there.

Italian Store is good. Santini’s also comes close. My issue is not finding good, authentic Sicilian pizza.

Pupatella is nothing like NY pizza.
Italian store and Valentino’s are close.

These are both Neopolitan style, not NY style.

The ingredients seems so simple.
