New Yorkers would like to give the people behind these rankings a "pizza" their mind.
The travel site TripAdvisor issued a list of the Top 10 cities for pizza - and New York came in fourth.
The Big Apple's best pie makers - like Di Fara's, Totonno's and John's of Bleecker Street - apparently didn't stack up to the pizzas prepped in culinary destinations like San Diego, Las Vegas, and Boston, which represent the top three.
Chicago didn't even make the list.
But reached on the phone, the manager of Bronx Pizza in San Diego said there is no comparison.

Chicago doesn’t make the list, credibility is way overrated.
Roberto’s in Elmhurst outside of Chicago. Unbelievable.
I had a lot of great pizza while a resident of Great Lakes back in the late 80s too. Can’t remember any of the names though.
4th place, my ass. Ben and Frank’s Pizza on West 3rd and MacDougal and St. Mark’s Pizza are the best in NYC.
It all depends on what they define as pizza. We have a few pizza joints in the DC area that have stepped it up a notch, including a a new apizza place. What I’ve noticed is that if they really focused on it, it’s not difficult to make good pizza. A good flat crust or even deep dish can be had outside the areas of origin, the restaurant just needs to be dedicated to it because that it what the market demands. I never eat any of the big chain pizzas because it’s an insult and they are focusing not on food and flavor but turning out stuff quickly.
Hunt Brothers Hawaiian Pizza is pretty hard to beat. Good enough to gag a Mulla and send him straight to Hell.
I lived in NY until I was 30, and then in Boston for 22 years.
The notion that the Greek sh*t called “pizza” in Boston is competitive is absurd.
There is a Pizza Slut in darn near every town...every airport, too! So how do they choose which is best? Not to mention Red Baron’s frozen...
Not to get too technical, but most of Harvard is located in Cambridge. Some is across the Charles in Boston (i.e., Harvard Business School, Soldiers' Field Stadium, the hockey rink, large student gym).
However, I've eated a lot of pizza in Cambridge/Boston and can't see how it's ranked so highly. Maybe I didn't hit enough places in the North End.
