New York Times agreed in 2004

Food & Wine, 2005, 2008 and 2009

2005 book "Slice of Heaven" by Ed Levine picks C. Bianco as the best in the nation.
I saw a segment on the Food Network and there was also an article in Gourmet magazine (my aunt subscribes ) on Bianco's. I guess the point is that it would take a NY Italian to bring good pizza to the West.

Frank Pepe's and Sally's are the two big ones on Wooster St. and it seems that the camps are well divided. My wife is from the New Haven area and her family is firmly in the Pepe's camp. How dare I even suggest we try Sally's sometime!

I will sneak down and order a pie for myself from Sally's someday just to try it.
