I'm not going to lie. Back in the day, I allowed my wife and kid to do it when they knew I was going to be out of the house. Leftovers were to be discarded before I walked back in it.
A piece of old cardboard and some tomato sauce can probably be had for less than a dollar. I'd just as soon eat that as Domino's.
There's a Domino's less than 50 feet from the bus stop I get off at in the evening. If someone opens a M&P pizza joint closer than that, I'll stop in and try it.
I don't know anyone here in NY that believes that the water makes the difference. Urban legend that is just fun to speculate on. No need to take it so seriously.I would love to blind taste test a bunch of New Yorkers with pizza made from waters of different origins. I can guarantee that the claims of New York pizza water superiority would fall apart upon clinical study. It's like New Yorkers got tired of getting high and mighty about the same old ####, so they decided to add the quality of pizza water to their braggadocio repertoire.It's not a complex if it's true.Listening to New Yorkers brag about their magical pizza water is mind-boggling. Classic case of New Yorker superiority complex.
Guarantee you are in the minority. New Yorkers, particularly the transplants (whiniest people in the history of mankind btw), always chant that mantra.I don't know anyone here in NY that believes that the water makes the difference.

Actually it's not 
While water absolutely plays a role, there are a number of other factors at play. And, that's not to say no other place has water that works.Guarantee you are in the minority.

Exactly. No one says it can't be good without NY water but it does contribute to the taste. It's like saying soil doesn't contribute to the taste of wine.While water absolutely plays a role, there are a number of other factors at play.

Fwiw, the water is a significant component in bagels as well. Again, not the only reason and there can be adequate water elsewhere, but it certainly plays a role.
Bacteria in the air makes SF sourdough taste a little different than it does anywhere else. Water in NYC makes pizza and bagels taste a little different than they do anywhere else. No one is saying it's the world's best water, but it does have an effect on flavor.jamny said:Exactly. No one says it can't be good without NY water but it does contribute to the taste.

That would be Manhattan and Brooklyn.I think it's all New Yorkers, not just Manhattanites.
wow. Never met anyone that would both love Giordano's and say Malnati's sucks. I'm not going to argue with you. I just feel bad for you. What a sad way to go through life.
We've been to Chicago 4 times. The first 3 times we went to Giordanos and loved it. The last time I convinced my wife to try Malnati's based on recs from this board. We went to the Gold Coast one on State Street. Very generic setting, poor service, and the pie just wasn't great. Very brittle, dry crust. Sauce was pretty bland. I'll stick with the touristy Giordanos on Rust Street for my Chicago experience.
I don't know any top pizza place with the name "sal....." in it.Never heard of Sal and Carmine's.... Next time you're in NY, go to any of the 4 I listed off... L&B is a hike from Manahattan but the best in the world. Man vs Food did a show out there
Your gonna make me find it aren't you....
I'm honestly not sure how I would vote in the New York vs. Chicago debate because I love both styles in their own different ways. However, I would put a Pequod's deep dish pizza from Chicago up against any pizza on this planet and be confident that Pequod's would be the better slice. I've never had another pizza that compares to Pequod's.
FTR I think that New Yorkers, when they are in New York, are among the finest people you could ever hope to meet. A true pleasure and joy to be around. I mean that with all sincerity.However you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than Manhattanites who have become separated from their precious island. Seriously something horrible happens to them, turning them into whiny pathetic shadows of humanity when they are denied their magic water. They complain about everything and defile their bodies by ordering Dominoes. It's truly a bizarre transformation.
Never had it but I've heard great things.
that's like saying you can't enjoy both kinds of music, country and western.
