August 10th
Queens, NYC
Well, it’s been a while since we’ve been back on here posting about our pizza adventures. This it not because we haven’t been eating pizza, but because we haven’t been to many places on the list that we haven’t already covered in previous posts. At this point, if we want to go to a place on the list that we haven’t been to, we’ll have to get on a plane. We’ve mostly spent the last few weeks going back to some of our favorites in NYC.
The exception was Margherita Pizza, in Queens. This was a new addition to the 2018 list, and we had never been there. It’s a bit difficult to get to via subway, so we made a stop here back in August when we were driving out to Long Island.
This place always comes up near the top of the lists of best slices in Queens (although to be fair, there aren’t too many good slices in Queens at the moment). We ended up with a couple of cheese slices, a Sicilian, and a pepperoni.
James has really gotten the hang of his pizza-eating. He takes the “smush it in my face” approach, hoping that most of it gets in his mouth. He’s more a fan of the cheese that falls off the pizza than the crust.
The slices here are traditional NY slices. Greasy, yes. Cheesy, yes. Probably twice as much cheese as crust. It’s been around since 1966, so you know it has a good following. It was definitely busy during the lunch rush. We enjoyed the slices, but we wouldn’t make the trip out to Jamaica for them, specifically. There really isn’t too much special to say about these, actually. It’s exactly what you’d expect from a NY slice shop, which isn’t a bad thing at all, just slightly boring to write a post about. So, here’s another picture of James eating his slice.
