Man Eats at Every NYC Pizza Joint: Gross or Great?

Could you eat a slice of pizza at every one of the 362 pizza joints in Manhattan? Probably not. But for 28-year-old Brooklyn, N.Y., resident Colin Hagendorf, it was easy as pie. "I will always eat pizza. There’s nothing better for lunch or dinner," he told The New York Daily News. "I grew up in New York. I eat pizza. That’s what I do."

Hagendorf spent the last two and a half years on the project and writing about it on his Slice Harvester blog. And no, he's still not sick of eating pizza. "I still love eating pizza, but I just got sick of writing about pizza," Hagendorf, a waiter at a Brooklyn diner, told the News. "There is only so much you can say about pizza."

Hagendorf has since received reality show proposals, phone calls from Google and book pitches, according to the News, but he swears this was not his intent. "I have no business acumen," Hagendorf told the paper. "But that’s what is so appealing for most New Yorkers. Nobody is paying me to do this. It is all very guileless and quite clear that I did not start this with the intention of being famous and making money."

Live in New York, or plan to visit? Hagendorf only awarded a perfect score to one pizza place: Pizza Suprema near Penn Station.

    I suppose I could get use to it, but I wouldn't like it. I love pizza, spaghetti, lasagna etc with tomato sauce. I just plain love tomatoes.

    I cringe at Olive Garden trying to find a classic italian dish made in the more refined style of olive oil and white wine sauce rather then tomatoe sauce

    Technically, pizza with sauce is margarita pizza....pizza is just greek flatbread.

    LOL, I can only eath three frozen brands of pizza and the Chef Boy Ar Dee box pizza. The tomaotes have to be cooked and processed to the point that the enzymes are dead.

    I used to order Dominoes without cause, and pour Chef Boy R Dee sauce all over it.

    That is less than one per day for a year. The biggest problem would be getting to them, not eating one slice from each.

    But that picture is a classic Chicago Style pie.

    Sauce and toppings UNDER the cheese is distinctly Chicago.
