You're mad RSpitz. Have you forgotten your roots?!
This is quintessential New York Pizza!!! I grew up in NY. I'd walk to Joe's a few days a week. NY doesn't have just one kind of slice. There's a Ray's slice. Doughier. Cheesier. Not as good. Sounds like you're used to that. Joe's in NY went from being a little neighborhood pizza place no one knew about, to a little neighborhood pizza place regarded by many as the best in NY. This LA branch (run by the 3rd gen. of the family) is the best in LA.
