Fishing for Clues

Peter Kaminsky goes kayak fishing in Jamaica Bay and ends the day not with a meal of freshly filleted striper but with a sublime slice. Three guesses as to which pizzeria he's talking about:

As we moved across the bay, the sun shone on the far shore. Riders on horseback from the nearby Jamaica Bay Riding Academy moved along the sandy edge of the bay. Cars whooshed along the Belt Parkway. Flocks of geese descended to their evening quarters.

"Want to try a slice of the best pizza in the city?" [Sebago Canoe Club chairman Andy] Novick said.

New Yorkers never take you to "a great pizza place" or merely "a good pizza place." They always have an opinion about "the best." As it turned out, the slices that we wolfed down on Avenue J were superb.

Figure it out? Need a clue?
