>>> WE
>>> WE LIKE PIZZA. >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. FROM DEEP DISH TO A NEW YORK
SLICE.
SLICE.
SLICE. OUR OWN PAUL HAD THE DIFFICULT
TASK OF TESTING THE BEST PIZZA.
>> WHO HAS THE BEST PIZZA.
I'M ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT FOR
THIS ONE.
THIS ONE.
THIS ONE. >> Reporter: I'M NOT THINKING
ABOUT WHO WINS.
I'M THINKING ABOUT ALL THE PAIN
AND SUFFERING I HAD TO GO
THROUGH THIS.
THROUGH THIS. BUT WHEN YOU'VE EATEN AS MUCH
AS I HAVE ON THIS TRIP, IT IS
NOT FUNNY MORE.
IT IS NOT FUN.
AND IT IS GROSS.
I'M IN A PIZZA COMA CHILLING
OUT RIGHT NOW ON THE 235th
ROOFTOP BAR.
ROOFTOP BAR. PIZZA IS SYNONOMOUS WITH NEW
YORK CITY.
YORK CITY. THE FIRST PIZZA PLACE IN THE
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES OPENED
HERE IN 1865.
IT WAS HARD.
BUT DARN IT, IF I DID NOT GIVE
IT A SHOT.
THE PURSUIT FOR THE BEST PIZZA
IN NEW YORK CITY.
STARTING AT THE PLACE RATED
NUMBER ONE BY TRIP ADVISOR.
REMEMBER WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT
NEW YORK PIZZA?
>> YOU TOLD IN HALF AND YOU
WALK DOWN THE STREET.
>> Reporter: HE'S NOT WRONG.
BUT HE'S NOT GIVING IT ENOUGH
CREDIT.
CREDIT.
CREDIT. THIS IS VERY GOOD PIZZA.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT,
NECESSARILY.
NECESSARILY. WITH THAT SAID, I THINK I'VE
HAD BETTER PIZZA IN PHOENIX.
I GIVE IT FOUR OUT OF FIVE
PIES.
PIES.
PIES. NEXT UP, FAMOUS ORIGINAL RAY'S.
LET'S GIVE IT A RAY.
YOU KNOW WHAT, THE SAUCE IS
BETTER THAN THE ONE THAT WE HAD
EARLIER.
EARLIER.
EARLIER. BUT IT TAKES A LITTLE CHEAPER.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN THREE AND
A HALF OUT OF FIVE PIES.
THEY HAVE A LOCATION IN
SCOTTSDALE, CHECK THEM OUT.
THIS PLACE HAS BEEN AROUND
SINCE 1929.
SINCE 1929. IF IT IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE
CELEBRITIES PICTURED IN THE
WINDOW, IT IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR
ME.
ME.
ME. THIS
ME. THIS LOOKS LIKE THE HANGOVER
CURE PIZZA.
CURE PIZZA. >> I'M IN A SPLASH ZONE.
IT IS VERY GREASY BUT IT IS
VERY CHEESY.
VERY CHEESY. BUT THE SAUCE HAS SOME FLAVORS
TO.
TO.
TO. I
TO. I GIVE IT FOUR OUT OF FIVE.
AND NOW THIS IS A FAMOUS PIZZA
PLACE.
PLACE.
PLACE. FIRST IMPRESSIONS, THIS IS THE
MOST FLAVORFUL SLICE I'VE HAD
IN THE CITY.
BUT IT IS ALL SAUCE.
THANKFULLY IT IS GOOD SAUCE.
AND IS IT DEEP DISH.
A SOLID THREE AND A HALF, MAYBE
EVEN FOUR OUT OF FIVE PIES.
NEW YORKERS ADHERE TO WHAT IS
THE PIZZA PRINCIPLE.
THE PRICE OF A SLICE IS ALWAYS
EQUITABLE TO THE COST OF A
SUBWAY FAIR.
SUBWAY FAIR. IF ONE GOES UP, THE OTHER IS
SURE TO FOLLOW.
IT IS YOU HAVE TO DECLARE A
WINNER.
WINNER.
WINNER. IF YOU HAVE A FAVORITE NEW YORK
CITY PIZZA PLACE LET ME KNOW
WHICH ONE I GOT WRONG AND WHO I
JUDGED TO HARSHLY.
>> I WANT TO KNOW.
YOU CANNOT CHOOSE PHOENIX
PIZZA.
PIZZA.
PIZZA. YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN
CHICAGO AND NEW YORK.
DO YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE?
>> Reporter: I'M GOING TO TAKE
THE EASY WAY OUT.
I LIKE THE DEEP DISH IN NEW
YORK.
YORK.
YORK. THE
YORK. THE ONE THAT I TRIED IN THAT
PIECE WAS PRETTY GOOD.
