I remember when I was a kid, in Bensonhurst and Midwood, Italian pizzerias made the best fking pizza and every place had bomb pizza, now it’s like a fking treasure hunt. Whatever they were doing, they forgot to show the Albanians
The issue is real pizza shops are closing and most neighborhoods is left with Kennedy chicken fugazzi pizza or dollar slice. Also the craft of pizza making lost art.
Chicago here.........been thru New York in the past and wasn't impressed with the pies lol.....it's all demographics and what you grew up on in reality but it's a fun rivalry to have 🤣
probably has something to do with price of rent. restaurants are struggling, inflation and all that bullshit. so they gotta cut their product just like cocaine gets cut before it floods the streets. owning a restaurant in new york cant be easy
Portion and quality on food been going down for decades. Big mac was much bigger 80s. KFC tasted much better. Electric bill gonna hit hard on food quality soon. There be no point eating out.
Nah it is the people who make them. If you go over across the bridge into Jersey you got families from north jersey to south from Italy with shops allllll over and most honestly be hitting good like it is kinda hard to go get a bad slice unless you new to the place. The key is family mom and pop pizza shops need to keep the passion. If that passion goes it becomes another Sbarro pizza or some ish.
I need more C Mac & AD content homie!!! Y’all going from squaring up throwing hands to being homies making content and moving through each other’s city together has me loving life!!!! Put it in the works and start working on a Podcast together…. Ewww weeeee!!!! #FIRE!!!!
When I bounced from "North Jersey" to "ATL" a few years back, I found a couple of so called " NY style pizza spots down here. The pizza slices may look good, but the taste isn't there for me. Not like it is back home. I'm like there is no way this is NY style pizza the way true Italians have made it back in the day.
@@chucktowngelato2988 @Chucktown Gelato I haven't explored the entire area of Atlanta alone for pizza, but if you recommend the spot you'd mentioned, then I will check it out and have my opinion on it. Peace
Also Tony's (Rutland road) Gabby's (queens) Loduca (Newkirk plaza) And i forgot the name but its on 18th Ave and 65th street ..... I do agree with your choices though.. cuts n slices is different. 💪
Another thing to consider other than maybe everything you stated in the video @china mac tv is that over time us smokers lose our sense of both smell and taste and with COVID-19 having affected those senses specifically for many of us…shit just ain’t the same. But also think about the first several times you got high and now so many years of smoking bud you know you will never feel like that again…
One hidden gem is Margherita’s Pizza on Jamaica Ave (Queens) & 163rd. They’ve been around for over 20 years and make some of the best slices of tasted (secret is the cheese).Be prepared to pay about $3.50 per slice though. Other than that, yea the $1 slice spots have taken over, and the touristy spots don’t have that authentic taste. the classic neighborhood good pizza shops have mostly closed down
It’s the sauce. They don’t put the right amount of sauce a lot of pizza in NY taste like cheesy bread. Next time you eat pizza in New York notice how much more cheese it is than sauce. Especially at them dollar pizza spot.
hes not entirely wrong. a lot of pizza spots are just riding the "ny pizza is the best" wave without actually putting the work in. although there are hella good pizza spots too just gotta ask some locals
I be feeling the same way when I visit the east coast especially in NY and Jersey, sh-t aint the same to me. But like some who commented here I think it's that our taste buds have changed as we got older. But I still love me a good azz slice...well done and crispy with a little charr.
If you were looking for good pizza you have to come to Buffalo. We are only really known for wings, pizza, and the bills so we’ve spent time trying to perfect them all.
@@jg2283 I’ve had a lot of pizza in NYC but it just doesn’t compare. The north east coast in general has the best pizza. Literally everywhere else is like cheese and crackers with Ketchup.
The point of New York Pizza is lost completely if you have to travel to one of few certain locations to get the good ones. The point of it is that you used to be able to get great New York Pizza on every single block, whereas now you have to travel for it. Which sucks.
@@LadellTurner Yup, exactly this. Plus customers demanding 99 cent slices just like 20 years ago, even though the cost of rent and ingredients has more than doubled since then. Only way to sell them for even close to a dollar is to use cheap ingredients and be stingy with the amount of toppings.
BRO! I was gonna say there’s no way you could hit up Not Ray’s and still feel NY pizza is trash. Not Ray’s is my old neighborhood joint. It’s saved my life on many days. I agree with 5ive Mics - it’s the best pizza spot in Brooklyn… Hell, in the world! 🍕🍕🍕
Best pizza I ever had was in Manhattan, right across from my hotel in a tiny shop, easy to miss walking by. I couldn’t believe how good it was. It’s the water they use to make the dough that’s all the difference.
You gotta do a Staten Island review! Staten Island is still considered apart of NYC. I get frustrated by some of these spots in the other boroughs as well sometimes but bottom line is Staten Island holds it down when it comes to Italian food! And that's a fact!
Haven't tried Staten Island pizza yet but once a year I go to Royal Crown Bakery on Hylan. Literally THE BEST bagels I've ever had in my life man! I can't put into words how good their bagels are & being a NY'er I've had plenty of bagels. You ever been?
there are few things from new york that will always have its effect no matter how old you get. #1 is real new york city pizza from the 70s 80s #2 is real Jewish NYC bagels from the 80s #3 is subway bum stench / funk. no matter what happens to your nose or taste buds those will remain the same and will demand your respect / admiration / disgust. the pizza and bagels in NYC are not authentically amazing tasting as they use to be but the subway bum stench is steal bumpin stinky.
Junior cheesecake uses cake for the bottom. Not pie crust. It makes it the texture to soft, but they offer a gram cracker topping for a whole cheesecake
Yo real shout out to 5 mics, I love his story , and his come up, my dude is NYC to the BONE , real recognize real, true new Yorker. We R built different, yea We loud as fuck and a bit animated, but you gotta stand out when you live with 8 million other souls tryna shine. Ppl love to shit on NY but we set the trends other ppl in the world love to imitate.
I noticed that about New York pizza is either some new school extra shit or it’s a dollar slice. We still got a lot of original pizza parlors in jersey
First time finding this channel & I don’t eat pizza that much and I thought I was bugging saying to myself NYC pizza does not taste the same when I was a child. I was thinking it must be my taste buds changing but this prove I’m not the only one.
Love pizza, always have. The interesting thing about FOOD in general is, you can never reallyyyy know if someone LIKES the food they're eating or not. Some ppl pretend or just say positive thing's even if they don't like it lol. Go ahead ask some ppl, more than half the ppl I know will strait up tell you they wouldn't even tell you if they didn't like it lol. They just say yupppp mmmm its good lol. But if you see someone eating the same food al the time EVEN WHEN no one else is around, then YEAH, THEN I guess you can assume they like it. Either that or lol I dunno what, maybe they're on a diet or something or they just eat it for a certain dietary intake or vitamin or something. I like Mac's video's because they're positive. He's not out there tryna start nothing or you know, he keeps it positive.
for real tho I am like damn I could go for a slice and cheesecake and a good drink. That combo will have ya flowing in the city comfy unless it's hot then you just a tip toe'ing fool with hot food.
They put low fat cheese on it nowadays Cause ppl ben dieing from high cholesterol they don't put onions in the sauce and msg N the dough anymore because too much salt causes keddney failure that's my opinion
Man they don't give a F bout peoples health they just got more busy, lazy, & cheaper due to the inflation, pandemic, and cost of quality product. So the generation running shht now just slanging crusty azz cheese pies trying get a bag. Authenticity is no longer valued.
Mac, you said it doesn't tastes like it used to. That's everything, when you young everything is new, your body and your tastebuds are fresh. After 30 you're more decaying than growing, have to say it. Why do think old people love eating more and more spicy foods as they age?
NY Pizza ain't the same tho, only a few authentic spots left throughout the boroughs. Now you got Mexicans getting busy making the pizzas in majority of the pizza spots. (No offense but those slices ain't hitting the same son.)
Nikka you buggin and I doubt you go to other boroughs to taste pizza 🍕 queens got fire pizza so does Manhattan and Bronx Brooklyn lost all its Italians it’s over for them … another thing ask Dave portnoy pizza review king who got most spots in nyc reviewed
Lucia On Ave X , Aces Pizza, L&B Spumoni Gardens, Brooklyn Got Way To Many Banging Pizza 🍕 Spots Bro, Gotta Shake & Move Around, Hopefully The Mom & Pop Shops Stick Around For The Future Generations It's One Of The Best Things About Being A New Yorker!
You really hit the nail on the head. The last time I had 1980s pizza was around 2008 off Delaney Street on Allan Street. It was opened by a white guy from the Midwest of all people. It was the sauce that made it back
There are still amazing spots in nyc Di’Fara’s On Avenue J in Brooklyn Spumoni Gardens in Gravesend John’s on Bleecker St Arturo’s On Houston St Luigi’s Pizza on 5th Ave in Brooklyn Louie And Ernie on Crosby Ave in the Bronx Scarr’s Pizza on Orchard Street
@@babyshaya try John’s on Bleecker first go with a few friends and get two pies they don’t do slices get the sausage pie and their Boom pie which is thir Margarita pie if you don’t like either of them you don’t have taste buds
@@ianloeb1672 oh... I'm at purist. I only go for the Margarita. Grew up on the original sal's corner of Mott and Broome in the 70s and 80s. They are now on Broome off mulberry and I grew up with the guys who run it now. Nothing like before. When Sal ran it (God bless his soul) he used to give away slices and sodas to all the neighborhood kids. 25 cent cans of soda and 50 cent slices. I'll try it. I really hope they got the sauce right.
Cuz we know the spots that makes good pizza y’all outta townas won’t know being y’all not from here there’s a lot of spots that’s just here for the hype with the title ny pizza to lure tourist in and be trash lot of spots fell off too not gon lie but still a good amount of places where the pizza hits nfs 🔥🔥🔥
New York do got the best pizza but it’s just like every other state that’s known for food like Texas is known for bbq but every bbq spot in Texas isn’t good gotta go to the right ones
MAC you redeemed yourself, you can't be throwing out all the NYC staples just cause you on the west coast now 😆 ... Wait hold up you never had Jr's .... WOW MAC
I think part of it is nostalgia and part is cost cutting bc of higher rent and food costs. Joe’s still makes a solid slice and Patsy’s in E Harlem is good too. My favorite right now is L’Industrie in Williamsburg. Their slices are like a cross between NY and Neapolitan pizza. Their Margherita is their plain cheese but my favorite is their burrata.
Never dis NY pizza. Any place outside of NY does 'New York style' because they want to emulate the masters and still can't get it right. It is an affront and disrespect to me personally if you dis our pizza. It is a fine art.
The best pizza 🍕 shop in the world 🌎 to me is located up the block from the South Street Seaport, across the street from Key Food on Fulton Street. It's right beside Papyas.
Ayo! Not Ray’s was the first spot I thought of when I saw the heading! It’s funny because my homeboy from Arizona put me on to this place way back in the early 90s! Now I have to hit them up when I travel from Upstate NY.
Im English and know what Canada dry is its just a brand name...but the make ginger ale they sell it in the pubs here...As for pizza in New york if im allowed into America (criminal past) and coem too New York im going on on Pizzas and hot dogs as my first meals lol
dude, i prepared myself before watching this video. i purposely got myself i slice of pizza before hitting play. and yeah, i think your slice is way better than mine. and you got Canada Dry, hahahaha, shout out to all my Canadian's out there. whats this about you leaving NY? where are you heading? LA?
It's because you're eating out every damn day. When we were younger, we were broke af and would be lucky to get even 1 meal. When you're on the streets and starving, food just taste better. I bet if you didn't eat for 2 days, that pizza would taste like heaven.
Mac you got to head to chi town but wait till next summer get you some pizza, some beef sandwiches, gyros, cornbeef great food in the chi. Head to Chinatown, Greektown, head to wrigleyville were the chicago cubs are nothing like summer in the chi. West Humboldt Park has big Puerto rician culture or hit up taste of Chicago next summer
Don’t get stuck on nostalgia. Because a friend of mine from NY said the same thing till he went back to visit. I know Di Fara’s I want to try. I got a food bucket list for just about every state. So I’m coming to NY especially to go see the Giants, and the Yankees play.
I’m hitn up not rays whenever in in crooklyn. Not gun lie Me and my wife was feeling the same about the pizzas out here in ny until more recently we got put on to amore pizzeria in flushing. 🔥 🔥

Cuz we know the spots that makes good pizza y’all outta townas won’t know being y’all not from here there’s a lot of spots that’s just here for the hype with the title ny pizza to lure tourist in and be trash lot of spots fell off too not gon lie but still a good amount of places where the pizza hits nfs 🔥🔥🔥
New York do got the best pizza but it’s just like every other state that’s known for food like Texas is known for bbq but every bbq spot in Texas isn’t good gotta go to the right ones
@@davyj0nez75 na I’m not jackin that at all lol Jersey pizza don’t even hit its NY or nothing
I totally agree. I had Joe's Pizza (from Spider-Man 2). It was so average. It was a 5.5/10.
MAC you redeemed yourself, you can't be throwing out all the NYC staples just cause you on the west coast now 😆 ... Wait hold up you never had Jr's .... WOW MAC
I think part of it is nostalgia and part is cost cutting bc of higher rent and food costs. Joe’s still makes a solid slice and Patsy’s in E Harlem is good too. My favorite right now is L’Industrie in Williamsburg. Their slices are like a cross between NY and Neapolitan pizza. Their Margherita is their plain cheese but my favorite is their burrata.
Never dis NY pizza. Any place outside of NY does 'New York style' because they want to emulate the masters and still can't get it right. It is an affront and disrespect to me personally if you dis our pizza. It is a fine art.
The strawberry cheesecake is the one and only bro. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
yo 5 is wild bro!!
The best pizza 🍕 shop in the world 🌎 to me is located up the block from the South Street Seaport, across the street from Key Food on Fulton Street. It's right beside Papyas.

"Not rays" lmaoooooo😱😭🤣🤣 fuck rays lol
The dough is the key for a good pizza. In Italy they mainly focus on the dough and on the quality of the ingredients, which are not many.
Try Chicago Tavern Style Pizza
4:25 did he say stay black ? Lmaoooooo
Ayo! Not Ray’s was the first spot I thought of when I saw the heading!
It’s funny because my homeboy from Arizona put me on to this place way back in the early 90s!
Now I have to hit them up when I travel from Upstate NY.

I remember buying a mixtape from 5mics on a Manhattan street corner back in the mid 2000's.
5 mics definitely is the definition of New York

Boston had some pretty fire pizza when I lived there in 03/04. There was a little ma & pop parlor on every corner and it was all fire
DONT WATCH THIS WHEN UR HUNGRY! man im about to get off work and go immediately get some pizza! got me fiendin.
dude, i prepared myself before watching this video. i purposely got myself i slice of pizza before hitting play.
and yeah, i think your slice is way better than mine. and you got Canada Dry, hahahaha, shout out to all my Canadian's out there.
whats this about you leaving NY? where are you heading? LA?
This man hundo owns this place LOL
It's because you're eating out every damn day. When we were younger, we were broke af and would be lucky to get even 1 meal. When you're on the streets and starving, food just taste better. I bet if you didn't eat for 2 days, that pizza would taste like heaven.
you was just extra hungry back in the day! it's some spots out there you just have to try 5 before you find a good 1
Mac you got to head to chi town but wait till next summer get you some pizza, some beef sandwiches, gyros, cornbeef great food in the chi. Head to Chinatown, Greektown, head to wrigleyville were the chicago cubs are nothing like summer in the chi. West Humboldt Park has big Puerto rician culture or hit up taste of Chicago next summer
COME TO JERZEE SON U KNOW THE VIBESS.. JERZEE PIZZA IS ROCKIN
Don’t get stuck on nostalgia. Because a friend of mine from NY said the same thing till he went back to visit. I know Di Fara’s I want to try. I got a food bucket list for just about every state. So I’m coming to NY especially to go see the Giants, and the Yankees play.
I’m hitn up not rays whenever in in crooklyn. Not gun lie Me and my wife was feeling the same about the pizzas out here in ny until more recently we got put on to amore pizzeria in flushing. 🔥 🔥
