Chef Andrew Zimmern has been known to eat some unusual foods around the world, but for the familiar taste of a pizza, he heads to two restaurants in New York City.

Zimmern told the BBC, "New York City is the pizza capital of the world," and when he's there, he
has two favorites: L&B Spumoni Gardens and Una Pizza Napoletana.

After over 20 years of selling his Sicilian-style pizza from a horse and wagon, Ludovico Barbati opened L&B in 1939 in Brooklyn. It still operates out of that same location.

Meanwhile, Una Pizza — iterations of which popped up in New Jersey, San Francisco, and other parts of Manhattan since 1996 — has now settled in on the island's Lower East Side.
