Andrew Zimmern's Favorite Restaurants For Pizza In America

By ILENE V. SMITH
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.
