Umberto's Among 101 Best Pizzerias In Nation

If you live in New York, you already know the state boasts many excellent pizzerias.

But it never hurts to have that distinction recognized nationally, and the fine dining website The Daily Meal recently ranked the 101 Best Pizzas In America for 2018, and New York was well-represented.

One New Hyde Park pizzeria made the list. Umberto's Pizzeria & Restaurant, located at 633 Jericho Turnpike, was ranked at No. 30. The pizzeria's claim to fame is their grandma pie.

From The Daily Meal:

Umberto's slings superior pizzas. Most notably, the grandma: a square, 12-slice, 16-by-16-inch thin-crust pie topped with mozzarella and plum tomato marinara. Haven't experienced this thin, crispy-crust satisfaction? Start here. It's generally regarded as the originator of the grandma slice.

Umberto's is among four Long Island pizzerias and 36 New York pizzerias that made the list. Other Long Island locations on the list can be found here.

So, what do you think? Does the grandma pie live up to the hype?
