All Of It with Alison Stewart

Look, the best slice of pizza in New York City is a never-ending debate. Add to the conversation New Jersey pizza, and even Connecticut, and there are too many great slices to count. That doesn't mean it isn't worth exploring the latest of what the tri-state area pizza scene has to offer. Nikita Richardson, Food editor for the New York Times, recently wrote in her Where to Eat: New York City newsletter about, "The State of Pizza in the Pizza State," and she joins us for the next installment of our Small Stakes, Big Opinions series, and we take your calls.
