Why Is NYC’s Pizza So Good? The Tap Water.

Tony Muia, owner/operator of ”A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour”, appears as one of the judges on the above episode of the Food Network’s Food Detectives. In the clip above, judges Tony Muia, comedian Mario Cantone, Joey Ciolli of Grimaldi’s and John LaFemina (the chef from Apizz in Manhattan), try to pick out the best pizza. The catch was each pizza would be made with tap water from a selected city, Chicago, NYC, and Los Angeles. Potentially a career ending taste test for some of these judges, each judge picked the same pizza as being the best. The winner? The one made with NYC municipal water. We can already imagine the emails from people in LA or Chicago, and we understand, but the taste test is over. We’ll be eating a prize slice later tonight. [READ MORE]
