I love New York.... as does anyone who is of sound mind. The reasons that I love New York are great in number, but close to the top of that list would have to be the pizza. I know there is a long-standing and epic battle over whether New York style pizza or Chicago style pizza is best, but I am unequivocally and unapologetically team New York. I don't even know that I've HAD Chicago style.... but I can't imagine a circumstance where it would be better than a hot, fresh slice of pizza, so big and so thin that you can't eat it without having to use both hands and/or fold it in half.
But be aware... there are many cheap imitations out there. San Antonio can boast only one authentic New York style pizza joint that I have found (Pizza Bella on Nacogdoches). So when we moved to Denver, I made it my own particular mission to hunt down the best New York style pizza in the city. The first week we were here, I ordered a pizza from one place, and I will admit, they were close. But the slices were entirely too small.
And then we found it... Fat Sully's New York Pizza. As a New York pizza enthusiast, I am about to make a bold statement. Fat Sully's New York Pizza has the best New York style pizza that I have ever had outside the confines of the city of New York, and I would even say that it's better than some of the pizza I've had IN New York. It is superb and as authentic as they come.
What makes it better than some of the pizza that I've had IN New York, is that it is made fresh before your very eyes. Even some New York places will leave a pizza sitting out all day and throw a slice in the oven to warm it up when ordered. At Fat Sully's, the dough is always flying about as they whip up fresh pizza after fresh pizza. I've included a picture to show the size of the pizzas as well. As their slogan states... they're "Big Ass Slices" (sorry mom).
But I haven't even told you the best part. $2.50 a slice. I rest my case. If you're ever in Denver... hunt it down, because you won't regret it. Unless you're team Chicago, in which case, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Love New York Pizza!!!!
I guess we hold the same love since we experienced it together those... well, we won't mention how long ago it was. I have found a place close to where we used to live that is pretty good New York style, but not quite like it was in New York. Still have dreams about going down the street and getting a slice of pizza, some garlic knots, and a cream soda, mmmmmmmm.
