My current top 10 (in order):

1. Di Fara (excruciatingly long waits for works of edible art)
2. Motorino (wood oven, crisp and tensile crust, delicate buffalo mozzarella— and excellent gelato!)
3. Grimaldi's (coal oven perfection, quality pepperoni, and root beer)
4. Anthony's (homemade cheese, amazingly delicious crust like fresh bread)
5. Nick's (wood-fired, crust quality varies, excellent pepperoni, all in the exotic locale of Queens)

6. Artichoke Basille (the square. really. it's' that good. crisp, rich, oily.)

7. Totonno's (the most consistently made pizza, paper thin crust, smokey coal oven)
8. Pizza Mezzaluna (wood-fired, Neapolitan-inspired)

9. Lombardi's (America's first licensed pizzeria)
10. La Villa (the DOC is wood-fired new york-italianess; bonus!: delicious house salad)
