At Gobbl we know that New Yorkers are dead serious about their pizzas, whether it be the plain and unpretentious slice that the city has become famous for (boasting flour infused with the city’s tap water and a very simple mozzarella) or the more straight-forward and flavorful Neapolitan pie, prepared with olive oil, fresh San Marzano tomatoes and dollops of Mozzarella di Bufala.  Even New Haven-style hybrids like Frank Pepe’s have made their way down from the north and Sicilian deep dish pizzas have alos solidified their followings in a city that can’t ever get enough pizza.

With this in mind, Gobbl set out to concoct a secret formula to rank the top twenty pizzerias in New York City.  As always, we’d like to get your feedback.  Let us know if we left your favorite pizza joint off the list, and of course let’s see some debate.  Pizzeria rank after the jump!
