All it took was one word to breathe some life into this thread.

Pizza Supreme is always good, bit of a walk tho...

that's a good option in walking distance

I will get at least one slice a day that I am in New York.

Joe's Pizza is a 5-7 minute walk down Broadway. Always good for a mid-day snack.

A great stop for those arriving via Penn Station. I did that back in 2020 and very tasty!

@joe has pizza? I never knew. Joe, why have you kept this from me for years?

 

[joe]

It's all about the sauce.

Not sure how many of you have similar issues to mine, but one of the main things with any conventions* I've discovered in general is seating options

We always build in a lounge section where people can relax and hang out.

Was that the first CanJam NYC?

Yeah, that picture is from NYC 2017, I can see the hat I wore that year in the picture.

You know the much larger giveaway that I completely failed to notice when I first looked at the picture is the giant projection thing on the wall in the background that has the Canjam NYC 2017 logo.

THE worst pizza I have ever had was in Italy (many years ago)... NY / Chicago / Detroit - all great in comparison
But, since we're going to be in NYC soon - I would love to get recommendations from locals!

Near Times Square, Joe's on Broadway, Upside Pizza (598 8th Ave) and Nizza on 9th Avenue are good. Pizza Suprema at 32d and 8th, an easy walk, got "discovered" and added a lot of idiotic overpriced foodie options, but its basic cheese and tomato slice -- just ask for the regular or cheese, it's not displayed -- is the bomb, and sausage, eggplant or mushroom are also great choices. Meanwhile Bleecker Street Pizza down in Greenwich Village is wonderful. Skip the long lines at the Instagram-hyped Prince Street Pizza. Nolita Pizza (2 locations) is also wow.

Have to respectfully disagree. If you get a full fresh pie, there’s nothing better than Prince Street in NYC. If you don’t want to go far, as mentioned a few posts back Joe’s Pizza is super close and awesome.

Respect for mentioning Bleecker, been my jam for a decade. I work near Prince St Pizza and it was odd to see it slowly blow up over social media like it did. I like the grandma slice but since it's "local" I never think it's worth a wait in line. I also like how the guys at Made in NY stole their recipe and possibly made it better (fight me!)

Wish I can be there

You hit the nail on the head. A nice fresh pie or slice from a fresh pie is much better than a reheated slice. which is why there are so many restaurants in that Conde Nast article I linked to. If one just wants a slice or two it's better to go a popular pizza place and get a fresh slice rather than another place without a line and get a reheat.

This is correct. Julianas is the best pizza in NYC in my opinion. Not close to the venue though. But for this very reason. Only fresh, whole pies are served. So damn good.
