While any pizza produced outside Brooklyn will pale by comparison, I am now racked by NYC pizza cravings (problematic as I live in Miami); thus I am determined to find a worthy contender within the tri-county area. The Aquathin Corporation developed a 14-step filtration process supposedly replicating the unique chemical composition of Brooklyn's water supply, now used by The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co., based out of Delray Beach, FL. I am now inspired to take a trip out there and do my own "tastespotting."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752547394639803128.post-29459935233290209312011-01-21T15:48:10.705-05:002011-01-21T15:48:10.705-05:00Regarding the above anonymous comment: with all du...Regarding the above anonymous comment: with all due respect to Bay Goodman, your claims to be an expert on NYC pizza went out the window when I read the part where you rate Bay Goodman the best around here. I've had many a slice in NY, and while there is no substitute for the real thing, Joe's is way closer to the real thing than Bay Goodman is.Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752547394639803128.post-79103154545575207652010-10-21T16:26:01.905-04:002010-10-21T16:26:01.905-04:00If you like Joe's Brooklyn, head downtown to P...If you like Joe's Brooklyn, head downtown to Pizza Stop. Open M-Th til 5:30p, and Fri til 7:30p (not open on weekends), they cater mainly to the office lunch crowd. But it is hands-down the best NYC style pizza I have ever had, outside of NYC. It is worth the hassle of getting down there during a weekday, believe me.<br /><br />Thank me later.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09503902347359745060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752547394639803128.post-84329751038127064762010-08-31T15:50:33.305-04:002010-08-31T15:50:33.305-04:00I'm afraid I'm going to have give a not so...I'm afraid I'm going to have give a not so pleasant review. I was raised in Brooklyn since 1949. I witnessed the evolution of Pizza in Brooklyn from when it was fifteen cents a slice. It was thin and when folded as real pizza should be, oil dripped off the slice. It had a flavor that is very hard to find today. However, Brooklyn still has some incredible Pizza shops. The attempt at making a great Brooklyn style pizza in most other cities falls short for the most part. "Brooklyn Pizza" in Henrietta also falls short in my opinion. The pizza is good but not nearly as good as I expected. Initially I was excited when I saw the name "Brooklyn Pizza". Could there be a real Brooklyn style pizza in the Rochester area? Sorry, not yet, I was sadly disappointed. I don't know what it takes to make a real good Brooklyn or NYC pizza. Is it the dough, the sauce, the cheese? I don't know. Does the borough of Brooklyn have a secret recipe? It seems to me that it's not only pizza that falls short in this region. Other ethnic foods with a few exceptions have the same problem. If you like wings and garbage plates this is the town for you. Sorry I'm so critical but I am spoiled coming out of NYC where there are so many great restaurants. Some people might say , "move back to New York if you don't like it here!" I like Rochester for many reasons but as for the food, I'm hoping things will get better. There are some restaurants I have accepted, but not many. Oh by the way, the best pizza I have had in Rochester is: Bay-Goodman Pizza on Winton Rd. But when I crave the real thing I go down to NYC to visit friends and make sure I get a slice or three. If you get a chance to go down to the city, talk to the locals about the best pizza and I'm sure they will guide you in the right direction. <br />Bon Appetite!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752547394639803128.post-34098119313752217982010-08-21T15:31:31.283-04:002010-08-21T15:31:31.283-04:00Gotcha, thanks for clarifyingGotcha, thanks for clarifyingThe 259 Showhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260526555443134097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752547394639803128.post-56876075664657850682010-08-09T18:43:36.273-04:002010-08-09T18:43:36.273-04:00Minor point.
