A lot of pizza restaurants advertise their pizza as "New York Style". I'm from NJ, the "tri-state" area, where, since many Italian immigrants settled there, they have some of the best pizza in the USA. That being said, the quality of pizza in New York, NJ and Philly varies. There are some great pizza places, average pizza places and mediocre pizza places. Since a large proportion of pizza places in NYC are no longer even run by Italians or Italian Americans, New York Style Pizza is a meaningless appellation. Don Vito's in Daytona Beach pizza rivals the best pizza I've had in NJ, NY and Boston. I have sampled the pizza from the Daytona Area pizza places that are rated excellent on Tripadvisor and Yelp. None come near to the quality of Don Vito's. First of all, I will address balance. A great pizza needs to have the proper balance between crust, sauce and cheese. None of these flavors should overwhelm the others. Don Vito's pizza has the perfect balance between the three. Now to the crust, the crust has a good flavor and has appropriate thickness. The outer edge of a pizza crust should be somewhat chewy and a bit crispy. The edge of Don Vito's pizza crust is the perfect combination of just the right amount of chewiness and crispiness. I don't believe I have ever had a pizza with the edges this perfect, not too chewy, not too crisp. The degree of crust thickness in the central part of a pizza is a matter of preference. I prefer mine very thin. When you have a very good thin crust, it won't be soggy, but it usually not crispy. Don Vito's pizza is thin and even slightly crispy on the bottom, making it a great pizza crust. A piece of pizza should also be foldable, as is Don Vito's. On to the sauce, it has a very good flavor and is in perfect proportion to the crust and cheese. Last but not least is the cheese. The cheese on Don Vito's pizza is a good quality and, importantly, not excessive. Although a pizza crust should be a bit chewy, the cheese should definitely not be chewy. Too much cheese makes the cheese chewy, almost like chewing gum. The amount of cheese on Don Vito's pizza is just right, never too little, never too much. We order a pizza from Don Vito's on a weekly basis. Every pizza has met the same standard of quality. Don Vito's has the best pizza in the area, bar none.
