"For travelers, there’s no “walking in” to Joe & Pat’s, considering it can take a train, ferry, and bus to get to this Staten Island staple. But it’s worth the trek for aficionados hoping to cross the borough’s best pizza off the bucket list. The decor (there's a cloud-painted ceiling) is part of the charm. The dough is so delicately cracker-thin that it snaps as it folds in half. The sauce, slightly sweet with a touch of tang, is dolloped with just enough mozzarella, and not too much to weigh it (or you) down. The Tri Pie is topped with swirled tomato sauce, pesto sauce, and vodka sauce with fresh mozzarella." - Andrea Whittle, Jessica Kelly
