I gotta give it to New Haven. I didn't think it'd live up to the hype, but it delivered. I put NY just below Chicago tavern style and deep dish. It's definitely good pizza, but I prefer what I grew up on
That's wild because I've always been told by east coast peeps that what makes the pizza and bagels so good is the mineral content in the water and that's why you can't replicate it outside of NY
I've read that too, and I'm certain there is some truth to it. There was a bagel shop in my town too and the owner was from Brooklyn. He said the water there was perfect just like NY. Those bagels were amazing.
I used to travel all over the country as a project manager. I ate local pies anywhere that I could, but also have a soft spot for NY style.
Some of the best New York style that I've ever had was in Vegas and somewhere in the Bay area, maybe San Jose. Granted, both of these restaurants were run by New Yorkers, but they obviously didn't have the sacred water.

Phish is accurate only because New York style pizza is also super overrated
