"I'm not convinced by these reviews. If this is the best pizza New York City has to offer, it's quite a letdown. After trying pizza at various well-known places in several major cities, I would rank them as follows: 1st Place: Boston, 2nd Place: Chicago, 3rd Place: NYC, 4th Place: Los Angeles, and 5th Place: Miami. As for Il Mattone, it's just a counter-service pizza spot, and not much more than that. The pizza appeared to have been sitting out in the counter window for quite a while. While they do reheat it in their ovens, which is a plus, I can't say it was the most flavorful or the best pizza I've had. It's decent, but not something I'd be excited to recommend."
