Is there any place to get a "real" slice of pizza around here
(hopefully in Cary/Apex/Morrisville)--I've tried quite a few
and they are all less than acceptable--nothing that would
even be considered average in the New York area--anyone
have suggestions?
I have not been here but just relaying a recommendation I heard 2 hours ago from a New Yorker who was excited to order Bocci's Pizza for lunch. I just reviewed the pizza thread eva posted to see if it was on there and it's not although it certainly sounds like Camos Bros might be the place to go! Mixed reviews on the restaurant on urbanspoon review site but the reviews for the pizza are pretty good.
Would it be possible for us to acknowledge that tastes differ - among people and even regionally - so that when something is not to our personal liking we don't have to label it as somehow inferior? Is it not enough to ask where to find pizza that tastes like what you're familiar with in New York, rather than labeling pizza that is not to your liking as not "real" or not even "average"?
I don't know if it's up to "New York" standards, but I like the pizza at Rukus Pizza. There is one in Cary (I think it's the original). I go to the one in Raleigh near NC State.

Acknowledged!
Now if only we could get the NYC people to acknowledge that a whole state is attached to their beloved city and "New York" pizza is relative to where you're from. I had no idea such thin pizza even existed until I moved South. Western NY does pizza much different than NYC.
I did hesitate to include the "New York" part--but--no--I don't think good pizza is
a subjective quality--I would imagine a panel of "experts" (maybe "Throwdown with
Bobbly Flay" style) would agree the pizza around New York is generally very good--Have
any of you who questioned this actually tasted "New York" pizza? I have had Bocci's
pizza and it's probably the best I've tried in the area...
"Where in the triangle can you get a slice of pizza that most resembles what you are used to getting in NY?" (that is really your question without the associated condescension).
From my experience the closest thing will be Randy's...although (as I'm sure you are well aware) nothing will really be the same because we don't have NY water down here. I did recommend Bocci on the other thread- although I think their deep dish is much better than their regular crust.
