Our Queens Pizza List: The Classic NY Slice
First, let's preface this by saying there are very few bad slices in Queens, however, we have learned the hard way that NYers go to war over their favorite slice. So, this list is made up of memorable slices for us; these are slices we feel that everyone should try once because they are Queens institutions. Regardless of your local loyalty, everyone can and should enjoy trying more pizza. This list, not in any specific order, is compromised of variations of the classic New York slice: plain, round, square, etc. and does not include neapolitan style pizza.
*Pizza shops next to try for our list include: Gino's, Romeo's, Mama Carmela's, Joey's, La Villa, Dee's, Brother's
