did she say piece instead of slice? why don’t NY pols understand pizza

She sure did! I'm seeing a lot of disgust from New Yorkers in my mentions over that

To be fair, "piece" is normal in Western NY which is where she's from

And nobody's proposing congestion pricing for Skaneateles.

She is welcome to unpause congestion pricing and then return there

Yet Western NY is not normal so
I'm in Western NY and I've always heard and used slice.

Hi, that's nice. Born and raised here, too, and I've usually called them slices. Of all the things the governor is doing and saying, using a local phrase about pizza is the least offensive.

My husband ate pizza with a fork in Brooklyn and so we can never go back.

Actually the NYS legislature passed an amnesty in 2019, so you may be ok.

Also to go coffee? And eating standing? None of these things will do in France

With just a fork, like a weirdo? Or with a fork and a knife, like a civilized weirdo?

He has confirmed just a fork. So normal everyday weirdo.

Thank you, but it is not “normal” anywhere. That kind of shook me up when I first heard it.

To be fair, “piece of shit” pizza accurately describes all that I’ve had in western NY. Hell, even VT figured it out by 2005 or so.
