Utica and Rome Not Listed As Best Pizza In New York State

Our friends over at Thrillist.com put together a list of the Best Pizza in every U.S. State. Who has the best pizza in New York state? Not any of our amazing pizzerias in Utica or Rome. 

Who had the top honors for New York? It wasn't even remotely near our area. The winner is Di Fara pizza in Brooklyn. Here's what Thrillist had to say about the winner:

Competition is fierce for everything in New York (real estate, walking space, standing space in an elevator, etc.), and the pizza is no exception. But Di Fara ultimately takes the crown for the Empire State, beating out a whole slew of epically qualified contenders like Roberta’s, Paulie Gee’s, Totonno’s, Lucali, and more. How? This deep-Brooklyn joint has been run by the same guy since 1964, and he meticulously crafts every pizza by himself. He even snips fresh windowsill-grown basil onto each pie after it finishes baking. Sure, you might have to wait an hour for a full pie, but it’s worth it just to taste a slice (or three) of his genius."

You would NEVER have to wait that long around here for a slice, or even a whole Pizza! How did we get overlooked?

This place gets awards all the time for best pizza in New York City, but once again, there's more to New York State than just "The Big Apple".
