  • replying to u/jonfishman: Lions and Tigers and Squares is also fire. Love their mustard pue.

    I had high hopes but I was mostly disappointed. It was kind of gross, in the way pizza is usually gross when it’s been sitting out for an hour and then gets reheated in an ancient oven.

  • replying to u/Eastern_Ad_7683: lions & tigers & squares on 23rd and 8th is my favorite.

    they're great when i've gone in-store. got it twice through delivery and they were raw (legitimately raw dough inside) both times, which were separated by years in between.

  • replying to u/lilfutnug: What’s the general ranking of Detroit style in the city? I’ve only had Emmy Squared.

    Aces and lions tigers and squares are both terrific. Aces has a very cool retro vibe with table service, lions tigers and squares is cheaper, great quick takeout spot

    Damn I really liked their slice, even though $10 per square was a bit abysmal

  • replying to u/purplesnowcone: How is lions tigers and squares? I’ve been craving some Detroit style but when I went by that place it seemed pretty dingey so I passed on it. I know don’t judge a book by its cover and all but I mean it felt gross. Emmy Squared scratched the itch but I know Detroit style can be better than that— for being fresh out of the over the edges weren’t as crispy crunchy as one would like and the middle was a big soggy and kind of too dense overall.

    I’ve been like 5 times. One bad day but the others were fantastic if you love Detroit style. Try the vodka.

  • replying to u/thansal: There's a couple options for thick pizza in NYC (I've never been to Detroit or Chicago, so I don't know the technical differences between them, but they're clearly related): * Emmet's - Chicago style, I think the general take away is that it's ok, but not great. I felt like the crust could use a bit of extra crisping up? Like, it wasn't doughy and under baked, but maybe sorta cakey? * Lions Tigers and Squares - Detroit style, supposed to be good. * Emily - Detroit also. Reminded me really solidly of Pizza Hut (I like pizza hut for what it is), just better? Burger from the West Village location isn't amazing, Brooklyn one is supposed to be though.

    LT&S is too salty.

  • replying to u/niiro117: Beyond what’s already been posted. Paulie Gee’s in Greenpoint. They have a slice shop for classic New York pies, and a sit-down restaurant down the street where they serve Neapolitan style pizzas. Paulie is a great dude and often hanging out in the stores and happy to chat. Emmy Squared does Detroit-style pizza, for something a little different. I can’t speak to how it compares to those in Detroit, but in my opinion they are great. It’s again, sort of a nicer, sit-down spot.

    For Detroit style pizza, I think Lions and Tigers and Squares is best

  • replying to u/BlondDeutcher: Going against the grain: Jet’s Pizza if you want to try true Detroit-style. It’s fantastic

    I would recommend Lions and Tiger's and Squares for Detroit Style.

    Lions tigers and squares is excellent. I always tell people make sure you're hungry enough before you go because it's pretty indulgent.

  • replying to u/familiarlikemymirror: Have to comment here. I hate this place. Pizza’s too oily and salty (like all Detroit style pizza) and the guys that run the place are racist dickbags.

    I had my first Detroit style from Lions, Tigers & Squares not too long ago, and I found it to be less greasy than NY pizza

  • replying to u/AdmirableBicycle8910: I realized I should have provided more info in this post. This is my other post; Rate my NYC food itinerary/ give suggestions I have a little over 48 hours in NYC coming up. From Denver, and I’ve never been to the city. Arriving on Friday around noon, and leaving early Monday morning. Going to a show at the Gardens on Friday night. I want to eat all the best food the city has to offer that weekend but not necessarily the Michelin star scene. Pizza, bagels, Italian, steak, and things you can only find in NYC. Incorporating the feedback from an earlier post, this is what I came up with. I understand my plans may go right out the window when I get there, but I would appreciate some feedback on my thinking from some New Yorkers ; Friday Dinner; Keen’s Steakhouse. Possibly Gallagher’s or Porterhouse. But leaning towards Keens due to proximity to the Gardens. Late night Friday; Pizza somewhere. Leaning towards Lions Tigers and Squares due to proximity to hotel. Open to suggestions Saturday; Really open to suggestions here. I’m thinking a bagel at Brooklyn bagel. Then head to the Chinatown. Mei Lai Wah or wo hop? Don Angie for dinner if we can make it. Sunday; Tavern on the green for brunch. Then head to Rockefeller center. Grand central oyster bar for lunch. And then I’d really like to try a burger at 7th street. Thoughts? Feel free to tear me apart for being naive on thinking this is all possible.

    Lions tigers and squares is ok at best, far better late night when nothing else is open
