Geographic scope

Is this really specific to DC? It seems to me that I've seen large pizza slices, often labeled jumbo, for sale all over the country (as a start, see this article, and the relevance to DC is just that there is a concentration of such pizza places in one neighborhood. Would it be appropriate to expand this article to comprehensively cover pizza by the slice in general? Ibadibam (talk) 04:14, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

IMO (and FWIW I'm the article originator) this article is about two things: the phenomenon of comically oversized pizza sold by the slice, and the rivalry among several such pizzerias on 18th Street NW in Washington DC. Since posting it, I've heard from multiple adherents of Koronet in NYC, which has been around longer, so I'm going to add mention to the paragraph that currently mentions "jumbo" slices elsewhere. I would not support expanding this article to cover pizza by-the-slice, and I think is already served by New York-style pizza. WWB (talk) 19:36, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
