I’m from Staten Island, trust you’d rather go to Rockaway.

Do you have opinions on the best pizza in Staten Island? Does it hold its own with the rest of the boroughs?

Deninos is great. Starting with the pandemic we would take the kids hiking in the greenbelt (the mount moses hike is great with small kids) and get some deninos pizza after.

If you just want to take the ferry across and grab something, "Maries 2" is great as well.

Per capita undeniably. The good pizza to population ratio here is so good. There’s only one distinguished pizza place that people will leave the island for, but that’s exclusively for Sicilian so it doesn’t even count.

I’m sure someone can point to a luxury pizza place that cost $30+ a pie that has SI beat in Manhattan or something, but that’s cheating. Our ‘average’ pizza is good pizza in other boroughs.

Also, we have a niche we absolutely dominate in: crunchy thin crust pizza. People will drive all the way to CT to get Pepe’s, but we have them beat.
