According to a news report from silive.com, “Gathering footage coast to coast for an episode featuring various regional pizza styles, producers from “Emeril Live” on the Food Network chose Staten Island’s Joe and Pat’s Pizzeria as the purveyor of New York’s finest slices.”
“A local favorite, Joe and Pat’s of Castleton Corners out-cheesed, out-crusted and out-sauced some 2,069 other pizza joints in all five boroughs, based on a recent restaurant count issued by the foodie Web site, Urbanspoon,” said the story. “Someone recommended it, I tried it, and I thought it was the best in New York City,” producer Alan Madison said of the rather informal selection process.”
