No Images? Click here A few months ago, Ed Levine started wondering about the state of the slice in 2018. So much has changed in the last 16 years. While we've certainly witnessed a revival of the New York slice, you could also argue that it's been reinvented. We didn't want to publish yet another pizza bucket list—the internet is full of them, and you deserve more from us. So we broke our guide down into three thoughtful sections, assessed by the role they play in the current state of the slice. These are the spots leading the charge, led by the ingredient- and technique-obsessed new wave of pizza-makers. They're the places to try out if you want to discover where slice culture is in 2018. The old-school places that laid the foundations for the revivalists to build upon. These are the slices you need to eat for some basic level-setting and for overall slice cultural literacy. These spots may fly below the radar in a citywide sense, but locals will be quick to send you there—or not, if they want to keep a good thing to themselves. They're places that serve as community gathering spots or local touchstones. |
