I never lived in New York but I did live in Chicago (The origional Pizzeria Uno was much better then the spawned chain products btw) but years ago I went to this little pizza Place called Tacconelis were it is advisable to call and order in advance.  They have a wood burning brick oven and this peel for the pizzas with what I remember as about a 12 foot handle on it that rested on a floor mounted roller for moving the pizzas in and out of the oven.  The pizza was thin crust and fabulous tasting and the ambiance was homestyle were you get a cafeteria tray and just enjoy the food.  I would highly recommend it.  Since I could not remember myself, I did a search in the yellow pages (yea, took a while :-) ) for my own sake as well and found  it, so, here is the info.

Tacconelli's Pizzeria
2604 East Sommerset Street
Philadelphia, PA 19134
215-425-4983

If you plan on going to Taconelli's you must call in advance and 'reserve' your dough. They sell out nightly.
