From childhood, I remember someone saying that the only thing worse than seeing a worm in your apple is seeing half a worm. Weren't there cigarette butts in that pizza place that used to be on Leary in Ballard or Fremont? Does Old School Pizzeria do slices? I might be passing through there soon, so might take up the recommendation!

Pizza with a hair in it? Thanks for the warning. I'll try Old School Pizzeria instead.

Thanks for the geography lesson. All the Internet information says the place is in Snohomish, which freaks out the GPS. The shop's menu also says Snohomish, but then Clearview in parenthesis. Clearly, it's Clearview.

Quick geography lesson here folks. #1 New York Pizza is in Clearview. One has to drive a bit further north on Highway 9 to reach Snohomish.

Good article. You say that you've heard the best New York-style pizza in Seattle is in Snohomish but I'm pretty sure it's in Olympia at Old School Pizzeria. Their slices are very good. They put Pagliacci to shame. You'll find the crack in the crust when you fold it. The marvel comics mural on the side of the building and retro posters make it an experience. Look for the Star Wars mural at it's old location. If you want really good chips and salsa/guacamole, check out Quality Burrito across the street. Then finish your day off with a milkshake at the Reef.

Ooooh... the promise of grease sounds heavenly, but I think I've realized that what makes NY pizza so snob-worthy is the crust. And maybe that is all about the water (no offense, Mayor Nickels). If Philadelphia Fevre can fly in Tastykakes and scrapple from Philly, can't someone import NYC water? And maybe some Dominican immigrants to toss the pies?
