San Diego: Bronx Pizza, a Slice of New York on the West Coast
You may know Pizzasnob (aka Tim Kang) from the comments here and a couple of My Pie Mondays he's submitted. Today, he brings word of some great New York–style pizza in San Diego. —The Mgmt.
Who knew that Californians had decent New York–style pizza? I didn't. When our hosts on a recent trip to San Diego raved about this place, my eyebrow must have arched a foot high with skepticism.
I spied some weird toppings heading out the door and almost got cold feet, but when I walked in and saw the array of pizzas in the shelf, my heart slightly warmed up. After finding out from the cashier that the owners truly hail from the Bronx, I decided to pony over the cash and try it out.
"It's pretty good," my wife admitted after I brought the slices back to the car. Indeed, it was. Granted, it didn't knock my socks off, but I would place it in the same above-average, typical NY-slice tier with Joe's on Carmine in NYC or the real Ray's Pizza on Prince Street.
The crust had a delicately crisp-thin exterior and tasted fresh.
