How do I answer this?
If we look at Vera Pizza Napoletana as the FBI ....we could look at the APN as the CIA ...

Serious answer?
Both associations have the mission of preserving the Authenticity of Neapolitan Pizza ...the approach is slightly different.

APN is more focused on the training and certification of the pizza-makers.
Vera pizza certifies the pizzeria itself.
At the end of the day it is very likely that a pizzeria certified from Vera Pizza has a Pizza-maker that belongs to APN ...

Confusing enough?

Hey Simon, That comment is not appropriate.
You can't just throw out Camorra like that.
These guys are good people and Camorra wouldn't even agree with your association. You certainly wouldn't say that about another racial group for fear of serious retribution. But you are stepping in dangerous waters with Camorra. This isn't the movies or the NY times. they don't play around.

I live on Cornelia, so I am eagerly awaiting the pizza that comes from here. There is a huge photo posted in their window of two flour covered hands cradling an authentic, mouth-watering pie the likes I have never seen outside of Italy.

We had it good here before with Bleecker St. Pizza, John's, and Joe's all within a couple blocks of each other. I don't know if I have just gotten jaded, but the slices at these places haven't been satisfying me as much. Bleecker St. makes their Nonna too soggy and the crust is like a cracker. Joe's regular slice is decent, but the margherita lacks character.

I am excited to be excited about pizza again! I can't wait for them to open up classes to the public. I will be first in line.

The ignorance and stupidty in Simon message does not even deserve a serious answer.

Wow ... Finally !!!!

Roberto I'm so happy you're back in the game ...and few blocks away from my apartment ... I still can't believe I use to come all the way to Ridgewood, NJ and now your pizza will be few blocks away from my apartment ...

In regard to the question NY pizza or Neapolitan Pizza, I agree they are two differerent things. There are good and bad NY Pizza as there are good and bad Neapolitan Pizza. they are just two different things!
It's like coffe. There is Regular Coffe and Espresso.
They are both coffee and they both can be good, but they are two different things.

Gianluca, Considering your indictment of pizza in America, I'm surprised you lowered your standards and drug yourself over here to read this blog.

Roberto: To echo Adam, the FBI was a joke as well. Thanks for the clarification. And I agree about the good work, as evidenced by the great job you did getting A.Mano off the ground.

Ciao,

@akatkin: Sort of odd, but sort of not. Neapolitan and NYC coal-oven are totally different beasts. If you had a hankering for one style on a given night, I don't think the other style would be an acceptable alternative.

Anyone else think it's odd that they're planning on opening up directly across the street from John's?

Do you think the average New Yorker cares about certifications? If its good they will be loyal, if not things could get ugly.

Roberto: Thank you! That's not confusing at all. That's a great clarification. For the record, the "pizza police" thing is just a joke. You do good work!

Roberto has left A Mano. I just hope he'll post here or let Ed/Adam know where he ends up!

Don't know the particulars of why he left, but I have to wonder if this is his m.o.--then the big question becomes whether or not the people/places he leaves behind can continue to produce the amazing pizzas! So far, A Mano is showing signs of change, which saddens me.
