How about just outside of Naples?

The place was absolutely packed for a Thursday evening and even with Mina and Dino knowing the owners we still had to wait 90 minutes for a table. The dinner was worth every minute of that wait, and I’m forever spoiled for pizza…

Cheers,

I'd like to try it out for myself. But I love NY-style pizza in its own right--it's just a different animal and shouldn't be compared to the authentic Neapolitan stuff. Big Nick's on the UWS is awesome.

Snobbish provincialism, which is even worse.

Dude, Totino's pepperoni crispy crust pizza is a legitimately awesome pizza.

That's not a traditional Neapolitan pizza. It's some sort of fried variety.

Actually, this is also a fairly traditional form of Napolitan pizza.

Also resembles the crust at Keste

One of the great things about Boston is that we have none of that.

These look like a perfect example of American "sophistication."
