I love pizza. It's as simple as that. Good pizza is like good sex [they both can leave hard to remove stains from your bedsheets]. And I am lucky enough to live in the pizza capital of the United States: New York City! So I decided to take a tour of 3 of the best pizzerias in town. Enjoy this delicious journey! Hope its not too cheesy!!!
#3- Vinny's Pizza- Brooklyn,NY- Vinny Rinaldi makes his mouth watering pies from an old wood-burning brick oven that he's had since 1967. "They don't make ovens like this no more. And that's a shame because they cook a really good pizza.", Vinny told me. I took a bite of his pizza and was hooked. I then told him, "They should call this place Pizza Heroin. Because I'm addicted! Although I'm assuming you've had a lot of experience with real heroin while drug trafficking in organized crime." Vinny spit out his thin crust and yelled, "Who the fuck sent you! Are you wearing a fucking wire? ANSWER ME GODDAMMIT!!!" Grade:B+
#2- Pizza Castle- Little Italy, NYC- The owner of Pizza Castle, Dominic Aiello, believes in good service and good pizza. He says, "Everyone who works here is like a family. And that's important in any successful workplace."
"Family? Like a mafia?", I innocently asked. The normally mild mannered Dominic immediately slapped me with a half eaten calzone. As he started kicking the appetite out of me, he repeatedly began asking if I was sent there by someone as his "family" began checking me for wires. Grade:A- [for pizza; grade significantly lower for service]
#1- Grandma's Pizza- Astoria, Queens- Sylvia Rossini, aka Grandma, gets her ingredients straight from the old country. "I get a shipment every week of tomato sauces from my nephews in Italy." I thought about it for a second and then asked, "By sauces do you mean illegal contraband? And by nephews, do you mean the godfathers of the Rossini crime family?" The sweet old lady gingerly walked closer to me, put her hand inside my coat and whispered in my ear, "I better not find a fucking wire in here." Grade:A
