Forkelo ranking · Updated September 2026
5 new york-style pizzas across the South Bay, ranked on what people say about the dish itself — never the restaurant's overall rating.
Colosseum New York Pizza · Milpitas
21 dish-specific mentions · 71% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026
A big, genuinely New York slice: crisp underneath, generously cheesy, and wide enough to need a fold. It runs greasy, and the sauce can read thin.
22 dish-specific mentions · 59% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026
Paper-thin foldable slice with a crisp undercarriage under a heavy blanket of cheese. It runs greasy, and the sauce is light enough that some want more of it.
A Slice of New York · West San Jose
24 dish-specific mentions · 67% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026
An 18-inch plain pie cut thin, with a crisp edge and enough structure to fold without sagging. The sauce is balanced; the price draws grumbles.
King Kong NY Pizza · Cambrian Park
3 dish-specific mentions · 67% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026
Outsized slices off a large cheese round, cut down the middle and priced to feed a crowd. Soft and doughy rather than crisp, with a mild, low-tang sauce.
Rosie's New York Pizza · The Alameda
11 dish-specific mentions · 55% positive · 1 source type · menu verified September 2026
Thin-crust cheese pie with a well-judged sauce-to-cheese ratio. It runs floppy and greasy, and the base rarely picks up much crunch.
Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.
Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked early ranking until more evidence backs it up. The whole calculation — every constant, and three dishes worked through line by line — is written out on the methodology page.
