Still figuring out how I want to work this, but generally I am concluding that my New York Style Pizza Directory is better suited to a traditional Web site rather than a blog.  I will continue to use this blog to update the world on my adventures, seeking out quality New York Style pizza wherever I go, and even in places I don't go.  Please check out the New York Style Pizza Finder site at http://www.sliker.com/NewYorkPizzaFinder   It will help you out when you "Gotta Getta Slice." 

I had someone tell me that Frankie's has great New York Style pizza. I've eaten it before but I don't remember it being anything special. It's a kiddie park with go-carts, games, & lots of noise.

  The reason this is important is that, nowadays, people cook pizza in other ways.  Some cook theirs on a conveyer belt even.  Wacky...

A large pizza (18+") should be sliced into 8 slices max.  What's up with these places that cut their pizzas into 10 or 12 slices, or maybe even more? 

A medium pie should be sliced into 6 slices max.

I really can't figure out why this is so important, but I really belive the pizza tastes better when it's cut into big slices.  When I try to think rationally about this, I know that the proportions are the same no matter how many slices, but still, when you have big slices, it seems to be cheesier or something.  I don't know why this is im
