PS: Crap still tastes like crap, even when cooked in a WOOD FIRED oven.

My respect for Ed has just gone up another 10,000% for recognizing Sal and Carmine's as the best new york style slice in NYC, hence THE WORLD. I hope to see you there someday Ed, I usually get my slices after I move my car for alternate side parking.

There are a couple pizza places upstate that you would be interested in trying the next time you're there. Picnic Pizza: they have two locations, one in Kingston right off the thruway exit, and one in Saugerties, in the little strip of commercial area where the Grand Union used to be. They boast WOOD FIRED ovens, and make a mean neapolitan style pie.

My local fave for real sit down food, is PicNic (purely coincidental) between 101st and 102nd on bway. Very good food if a little pricey, but sometimes you just want quality.
