George R.R. Martin’s guide to the best pizza in the world
By Dan Selcke
Not long ago, A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin was in New York City, signing copies of his new book Fire & Blood and giving a talk near his old stomping grounds in New Jersey.
We are back home in the Land of Enchantment after ten epic days in the east, mostly in New York City, but with a few visits to my old stomping grounds in New Jersey, across the bay. Read about the rest of my NYC journey at my Not a Blog: https://t.co/Xcb26K0BB1 pic.twitter.com/snr9Gjy9bL

While he was visiting his publisher, Penguin Random House sat him down for a different kind of talk. Ladies and gentlemen, here is fantasy author and Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin counseling you on where to find the world’s best pizza:
Martin is very big on incredibly thin, New York-style pizza. “You can walk into any place in New York … and get a slice, it’s better than what you’ll get in 97 percent of America,” he said. I like thin pizza well enough, although as a Chicagoan I’ve enjoyed my share of thicker stuff. Still, to each their own.
Martin also isn’t a fan of putting any “weird stuff” on pizza. “None of this sprouts or pineapple or anything like that.” At this point I’m starting to feel personally attacked; pipeapple pizza forever.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this incredibly important dispatch from the man behind the most popular fantasy saga of our time. Now that Martin has concluded his Fire & Blood press tour, he’s hopefully back in his mountain hideaway plugging away at The Winds of Winter.
