Transcript

I know I'm a real New Yorker because I don't need anything besides a plain cheese slice. I never needed toppings. You don't need toppings if it's a fresh hot cheese slice fresh out the oven made the right way. Throw some garlic on there, some parmesan cheese, some chili flakes if that's your tea, that's not really my tea. And you're good to go. I will even add salt and pepper to my pizza because that's what my grandma used to do. Another true New Yorker. Thank you.
