Actually, Dav, my original post stated that I'm a NY/NJ transplant, and I've been
quietly appreciating their advice on a style of pizza that has been familiar to me
since I was very young.  I think that because the theme has been NY/NJ style pizza,
it's easy for folks from this area to slip into a mode of representing "familiar"
with "good" and "unfamiliar" with "bad."  I'm fairly sure that you have certain
dishes that remind you of what you consider home.  "Good" and just becomes an
easier way of saying "most closely resembles what we grew up with".  I don't think
it warrants slipping into a generalization about New Yorkers.  Furthermore, have
you ever considered that the phrase "that's mighty white of you" might have already
had its day in the sun, perhaps prior to the Emancipation Proclamation?

Thanks to everyone for their recommendations, especially Mark and Darrin.
