Bloomberg needs to crack down on bad pizza shops

New York has it all and to me one of the greatest things about nyc is the fact that you have the ability to stop anywhere in the city and pickup a slice of pizza that is better than any other slice anywhere in the good old u-s of a. Well that used to be the case. There was no risk. There is a major shift in new york city pizza. Fancy neopolitan pie shops are popping up everywhere trying to compete with the masters, like Grimaldis and Patsy's
Meanwhile, the manhattan pizza shops are no longer run as a family business. The kids headed for wall street and the pizza headed south, along with their parents who head to Boca. New York has the perfect environment for making pizza - the dough rises perfectly, lots of experts to learn from and of course the dirty water factor. The other day I went to a place that was by far the worse pizza ever served in nyc. Something needs to be done about this - pizza lovers unite, lawyers please sue. We need to keep the nyc pizza tradition alive. The place is called casa nova. I should have known by the name of the place. I asked them if they had any fresh slices and they said it's fresh when they heat it up (again!) I should have walked out but i felt trapped . I had to try it. The second worst pizza i've had recently is right outside my apartment. I soo wanted this place to be good that i have even tried it 10 times, waiting for it to be good. I was even in a denial phase since it would be awesome if the place was good. The cheese doesn't even melt on the pizza at pizza city. Our children and their children deserve the right to be able to go into any pizza place in nyc and enjoy a quick slice. We can not take a drago attitude and say if the pizza dies, it dies.
