I lived in New York for years and it has some of the best food in the world.

I invited my man Harry Kirsch over from the UK to show him how we do things in NYC.

We're visiting five of the best pizza places in the city all in one day to see if we can find New York's best pizza.

First stop of the day, Bleecker Street Pizza.

Okay, so TripAdvisor said this is one of the best slices of pizza in New York City.

Food Network said this is the best slice for the past three years.

So how are we categorizing the pizza places that we're hitting today?

Now obviously there's a bunch of different variations of what New Yorkers would consider pizza.

For this, I want to make sure we're getting the authentic New York cheese thin slice, right?

Not doing the square cut, not doing the grandma cut or whatever it's called, the Sicilian grandma cut or whatever that it is.

We might do some variations depending where we go.

Talk me through some like key components, key elements here that I should be looking out for and judging.

So first of all, the crust, it's going to have this thin yet crackery, but not too brittle texture to it.

Now the mozzarella they use here in New York, like this low moisture cheese, the way they do that is even though it has like a greasy top on it, it kind of makes it so it melts a lot more evenly and doesn't burn as quick.

It's like full, full coverage when it comes to the cheese.

You know, okay, so it's floppy, but it's not breaking.

But I mean, the thing that makes it great is its taste.

It alludes to the rest of the world of how to make pizza that's good.

This is like, unlike most of the pizzas that I've had in London, there isn't really anywhere doing pizza like this in London.

Again, like not something you find in the UK a lot.

And the texture contrast you get with that is lovely.

Like if you make a pizza at home and you go to some places that aren't so great, it's just grease.

There's nothing wrong with a little bit of grease.

And also, as you notice, it's also like portable, right?

You just like take this on the train, take this down the street, take this to work.

Which again, in the UK, not something we do.

I don't know if you can catch that, but Dax Shepard said this was the greatest slice of pizza he's ever had.

That was the greatest slice of pizza I've ever put in my mouth.

What's he done with the other good slices of pizza?

I just recently found out you eat pizza with your mouth.

Yeah, I don't know if the pizza is exceptionally hot or if it's just extra cold in here.

I'm going to wait for you to bite and see if you scald your mouth or not.

I'm going to say something that sounds kind of weird, but the sauce on this is the star of the show.
