(Think I missed one? After pulling all this data, I don’t want to know. This Pizza Master List is a collection of 334 pizzerias (18 have since closed) collected from 81 lists created by 61 publications, including notes on their methodologies.

(This isn’t even all of them, by the way… omitted are lists from: Best Products, Free Tours By Foot, Foursquare, Central Park Tours NYC, City Rover Walks, Deputy, NYHabitat, TravelAlphas, Travel Ranked, Girl With the Passport,, Fathom Away, UberEATS, and Ranker.) This is an attempt to look at all the “best” places most commonly cited by local and national publications to compile a master list of critics’ picks of New York City’s destination pies. Worse? When lists add nothing to the conversation. It can mean an intern wrote it or spots were selected just for geographical balance. But any list declaring itself “definitive” or “ultimate” should otherwise raise a flag.
You can give big name publications like Food & Wine or Food Network a pass on the practice because, you can argue, they’re putting reputations on the line. Dollar slice to donuts the answer is “zero” or worse, “I didn’t leave the office.” “What places did you go to that didn’t make the cut?” I want to ask. You get a 100-word lead that conveys range of styles and geography, a cheese or pizza pun, and either a claim at expertise or an attempt to hide a lack of any. The thing I find egregious are lists that forego methodology.
Food listicles are a fact of life… it’s the rubbernecking of the online culinary world.
