I'm seeing people who are flying in for NFT NYC getting BAD pizza advice. My uncle owned a pizzeria and "pizza maxi" is in my bio... I'm a native NY'er that has been judging pizza since my memories exist. Let me help you eat the best of the best. Here are my top picks:

The best pizza in New York right now is currently at Ceres on Mott Street. And it's not even close. I used to be play coy about sharing my top spots until I realized that I have zero market moving power to create lines. I'm way closer boomer than Foodtok Zoomer.

It's been a year since my first pizza thread and it's time to follow it up with some updates, new alpha, corrections, and good advice for those of you coming to NFT NYC. Remember, I do not want you to eat bad pizza. Help me, help you. Don't be a fool.
