"Patsy’s Pizzeria, one of the first taproots of NYC’s by-the-slice culture, is a pizza pilgrimage. Its original location in East Harlem gives you some flexibility: you can sit down in the mom-and-pop style restaurant or grab a super-fast counter slice. There are few frills to Patsy’s slice, flavored with an ooze of sweet and light tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, all anchored by its signature thin coal-oven crust that's blackened in an old-timey way that few pizzerias can execute. It's New York pizza in one of its most original forms, uncompromised by time and trend." - Andrea Whittle, Jessica Kelly
