Even if you do manage to find good pizza in nyc the prices are beyond absurd for what you get. I feel like NJ (I live in south and work in central) tends have more consistent quality pizza for much cheaper, although I must admit it's been a while since I spent anytime in NYC so my info maybe a little out of date.

I have never tried Chicago or Detroit or any of those styles although I'd be interested if anyone knows anywhere in those parts of Jersey that are good at them.

I will also say that the overwhelming majority of New Yorkers I know talk about the almost omnipresent rudeness like it's a positive thing? Always has baffled me.

I mean most places raised the price from $1 to $1.50 for a plain slice but I wouldn't call that absurd.

A big slice with toppings is ~$5 by me, which seems reasonable for what's essentially a meal.
