Taking a bite out of the Big Apple

There’s a good reason that New York is one of the culinary capitals of the world, and it’s not necessarily because of the number of incredible chefs that cook here. The first thing I did when I hit the Village was dash into Stromboli Pizza on University Place for a slice of what is still the best pizza in the world. And at $2.25 for cheese or $3.00 with a topping, it’s also still the best deal in town for a soul-satisfying lunch.

What makes New York pizza so good? It’s the thin and crispy crust, the not-too-much, not-too-little amount of tomato sauce, the gooey cheese, and (health nuts will cringe here), the grease that runs down your chin when you roll up your slice and take a big bite.
