By the Slice: The Haute 5 Pizzerias in NYC

New York City has often been called the cultural capital of the world. Home to people of just about every ethnic background, the sum of the city’s unique culinary parts yields an immaculate infusion of unmatched decadence that can only be found in The Big Apple. And though New York is masterfully diverse in its culinary selection, the type of food New York City may be most famous for is pizza. Like it or not Chicago, New York pizzerias produce some of the world’s best, and most creative pizzas, ever to grace the tongues of man.
