I'm from New York and I definitely agree about the pizza! I also like Matthew's, Noona's, Joe Squared, etc. Joe Benny's has amazing foccacia as well.

I haven’t tried any of the ones you mentioned, but I’ll make it a point to! I’ve heard good things of Matthew’s, although I’ve also heard it’s kind of a Chicago-leaning hybrid pizza that is uniquely its own thing. I’m not a huge fan of a saucy pie (or really a pie that’s unbalanced toward any one ingredient), so I tend to stay away from a deeper dish. Thanks for the recs, friend :)

🙂 It's more like a "sicilian" pizza - so definitely a thicker crust but not a super deep dish (as I don't like that either).

It’s a Greek pizza there’s lard in the dough

Matthew's isn't particularly saucy it's just like a pan pizza with a thicker crust. You can get the same pizza at barflys as well. Somehow years ago ownership split up and barflys has the same crust recipe.

It's definitely it's own thing but one of my favorite pizzas in the city.

Had noonas for the first time recently and was very impressed with their pizza.

Skip the wings though, they fucking sucked. They were those huge watery hormone filled wings with no flavor. Also they weren't fried nearly hard enough and we're super rubbery. Pizza was great though.
