Best of Metromix New York 2012Pizza
Before you start pelting us with San Marzano tomatoes, hear us out: Nope, you won't find Di Fara, Totonno's or Lombardi's on this list. They're institutions. They're untouchable. On this list, though, you will find what we believe are the best of the New Wave of artisanal pizzerias. Neapolitan. Silician. Grandma style. However you slice it, these spots are tops. If you think we left out a deserving nominee, let us hear about it!
And the winner is…
