Recently, Rachel Ray (ugh) commissioned two notable Pizza eaters, Adam Kuban and Ed Levine to whittle down a list of 64 great pizza experiences down to 1 winner. Now, I may not have the pizza credentials that the aforementioned authors do, but as a New Yorker, I believe I have a valid opinion on everything.
I also happen to have eaten a ridiculous amount of Pizza in my time. Last year, while on Jet Blue's AMAZING All You Can Jet trip, I took the pizza pilgrimage to Pizzeria Bianco. I got to the restaurant at 230, eagerly anticipating a line for their 5pm opening (I'm insane, yes. Also, it's in Phoenix. Have you ever been? Don't. Unless you're going for pizza.) and thoroughly enjoyed a fantastic pizza experience.
I have one major problem with the article (why else would one write a blog post on something other than to bitch?): the exclusion of pizza from restaurants that serve food other than pizza. The final picture posted here is from a restaurant in San Francisco that I ate at last summer called A16 that was fantastically balanced and better than 90% of the Neapolitan I've ever tasted. Not even a contender. Lame.
Also, what's up with 4 Neapolitan pies making the finals?
