What’s Better Than BBQ and Pizza?

Kansas City is respectively most known for BBQ when talking about food. When talking about New York City, it is known for very many food trends but one of the most classic has got to be pizza. With over 1,000 pizzeria’s throughout the 5 boroughs of NYC it’s hard to say what is the best. Here is my opinion on the best pizza and best BBQ restaurants in KC and NYC.
