On Thursday, December 30, 2021, late in the afternoon, my granddaughter Cherokee was visiting from California and kept saying that she wanted to experience a "New York" pizza.  So her sister Skye and I went to Patsy's decided to travel with her.  

As you can see they do not sell slices but the whole pie.  After much discussion we settled on the Original.  The pizza was the standard Neapolitan made on a flat base of leavened dough that was topped with tomatoes, cheese and sauce.  When you pick it up you get the fold so it flops a bit and once you take a bite, you taste the tomato sauce that's a little sweet, a little tangy and cheesy.  The crust was char-bubbly yet thin but had a sturdy bottom.  I like thin crust.   Overall, it was good and they serve more than just pizza.

Now for a bit of Patsy's history.  It is my understanding that the location we visit is no longer owned by the family.  The original Patsy's location is:  236 W. 56th Street - New York, NY /       212-247-3491
