And Kenji knows his stuff.

This morning @scottspizzatours posted a video that shook me to my core as person after person referred to a plain slice as either a “cheese slice” or a “Margherita.”

It is a plain slice, as any New Yorker should know.

Scott’s video prompted me to go off on an extended pizza rant. You can find it in my Patreon (link in bio, it’s free), along with my recommendations for some of the best slices in New York right now.
