There are so many choices and personal preferences it is impossible to name the best pizza but everyone can pretty much agree on the worst pizza!

Yes ... anything that costs 99 cents a slice is among the worst pizza not only in NYC but the world. One gets what one pays for.

Apart from the small matter of having my new leather jacket (purchased days ago in Milano) stolen from my chair at lunch while I was in the Patsy's rest room back in the mid-ate 80s, I think Pastys ,might be worth a visit, allthough back then I might have accepted the theft with more grace had the pizza been more to our liking.

I would certainly defer now to those more familiar with its curent incarnation that I am. Even then , the pizza makers were from Colombia.

I would have to check but I think it is part if a chain, not that that would disqualify it by any means if your quality is great..long way for some of us to travel.

....as for the theft, that could have happened almost anyplace back in those "bad old days" so not fair to disqualify it for that one incidcience of malfeasence by a fellow diner. The neighborhood around the place has done a total turn around by now and I would not be concerned in the least about diing there solo, night or day. )it was also quite safe even back a few decades ago, the interior theft notwithstanding)

That kind of theft could happen anywhere outside of the bad old days!

I'm unfamiliar with Patsy's. It's at 116th and ?. Thanks.

First Avenue at 117th Street.

I would not run there, with so many great places around these days, but it does have a nostalgic appeal:

No the worst pizzas are Domino's or any similar national chain - except for the frozen ones from the market,
