It isn't just the water. I'm sure NYC Papa John's sucks as bad as Indiana Papa John's, but it is the water that separates NYC baked goods (pizza, bagels, bread) from elsewhere. I saw a news segment once on a bagel guy in Florida that set up a mini treatment system to try and make the water there like NYC's. All the old retired New Yorkers in his area made the shop a success.
