Someone said it earlier in this thread, everyone thinks the pizza from where they grew up is the best. I grew up on Long Island and I honestly have never had better pizza than NY pizza. I live in CT now and have for the past 7 years and Sallys and Pepes are not even close yet Pepe's is #1 on that list someone linked earlier and I have no idea how. Here's something that's irrefutable however. Delicatessens, and I mean real delicatessens do not exist outside of the NY/NJ metro area. Everyone talks about bagels and pizza when they talk about NY but the thing I miss most since moving to CT are the delis.
