If you want to know what real pizza tastes like got to little Italy in NY city.
It would take a LOT more for me to want to go anywhere near NYC.
In fact, I just returned from a driving tour coast to coast and tried a lot of local cuisine much touted and widely praised.
While there are places I'd like to visit again for a longer period, basic tastes really are subjective and can never be effectively argued.
As example, no flames please, I had long wanted to have "REAL" BBQ. I have seen various claims 'pulled pork' and 'jerked chicken' can only be appreciated in the south, much less even obtained.
So I tried versions from Texas to Florida, from Florida to N Carolina to Kansas and back to Oregon.
I don't favor 'sweet'. 'Sweet' does nothing to improve meat, so 'sweet' simply defeats the level of enjoyment personally I can get from 'BBQ' real or otherwise.
Now the basic 'cooked meat' I had in the south was in general very good. My favorite was a little place in Louisiana called "Bad to the Bone"....along with sweet potato fries. Odd place....the "all you can eat" plate was $12. The "Sample" plate was $12.
And I discovered I favor the dry rubs. Any of that wet sweet stuff doesn't work for me.
A little pineapple goes a long way, whether squeezed, chopped, diced, chunked, pureed or juiced. I like it a little. If NY pizza is famed for pineapple, count me out whether it's delivered or not.
