Hello, I am the maker of the website. I'm sorry to hear it's crashing some browsers, I'll try to figure out what's happening. It's a clean install of wordpress so I'm confused what I did wrong.

The reason there is an odd amount for dollar slice total is that one place had the nerve to charge me tax ($1.09). I concede that the quality at Joes has gone down over the years. I am closely noting the recommendations in this thread, and I am very relieved to no longer have to eat bad pizza just to add it to the map.

Hey, I hosted the source data in a BI tool I work on, Perspective - it provides a lot of the same functionality and I recreated a few of the views from your site as an example. Repo is here - hope you don't mind I thought you may find it useful!

Hi! Thanks for this insightful article.

I was curious about the data analysis tool you used, and I looked at their pricing page [1], to find that they're charging $200 to $300 per month for individual use. Is that correct? or are there other options I'm missing?

Surprised to see Joe's on Carmine but not Pizza Suprema on your list.

Having stayed in NYC the last few months, the former produced a couple of the worst non-dollar slices I've eaten, yet the latter was just as insanely good as it was when I stayed there in 2013 (top spot on Slice Harvester). These two are not in the same universe.

The site consistently crashes in Firefox v108.0.2 (64-bit) on macOS Monterey v12.6.

Visit crown heights pizza. I’ve likely had a solid half of the pizza places in Brooklyn, and it’s among my favorites and seemingly never mentioned, I suppose because it’s relatively new and has a boring name.

Do you call it a "plain slice" for everyone else? Everyone I know in NYC calls it a "regular slice".

I grew up in NY and lived in NYC and I still call it a plain slice.

I've always called it a plain slice but I've heard regular/cheese/plain used interchangeably

I'm from NYC and call it "plain" or "cheese." "Regular" makes me think too hard as to whether the "New York thing" is to say "regular" or "plain." It's also a lot of syllables.

A similar phenomenon occurs with waiting "in [a/the] line" vs "on [a/the] line." I think I say either, but I'm "supposed to" say "on line."

when you order, it's called "a slice".

I am glad to see you like Sunnyside Pizza too. I have had dreams about that place.
