I will give David “D.Lish.Us”credit for finding this one. When we go back home to Maryland,we typically take the buses that leave from Madison Square Garden. Right there at the corner of 31st St. and 8th Ave. is a pizza place called NY Pizza Suprema. What David tells me is that the owner of this place believes that plain cheese pizza is the best kind of pizza that you can get and getting too fancy with the toppings just takes away from the essence of pizza. Now that’s not to say they don’t offer pizza with toppings if that’s what you want. On one of our trips back,we stopped by and ordered a cheese pie as per David’s suggestion and it is miles ahead of any other pizza that we’ve had in the city. I had actually been there once before but I ordered a slice of their white pizza and their Margherita pizza. They were very tasty but nothing special compared to what you can get anywhere else.

As with NYC pizza,the crust on the cheese pizza was especially thin. I know some people prefer the doughier crusts,but look at it this way:less crust just means more stomach space for the rest of the pizza! The sauce on the pizza is chunky with actual bits of tomato and tastes fairly sweet and personally,this is what sets the pizza apart from other places for me. The benefit of ordering a whole pie is that you know it’s fresh made and the cheese was hot and very gooey. Top off the slice with some basil,pepper flakes,and garlic powder and that’s a hard pizza slice to top.
