I seriously doubt it's the most common pizza sold.

It's thin crust nature makes it economical for selling hot slices, but horrible for delivery and for reheating.

I personally consider New York pizza to be A tier; S tier I reserve for pizza with a slightly thicker, slightly sour, focaccia-like crust, and regardless, the baseline should be B-Tier.

It's not even "thin crust" pizza. That's St. Louis style.

Incorrect; it reheats fine in a countertop convection oven (or a cast iron or carbon steel pan on the stovetop if you know what you're doing)

Yes, and pizza with real crust reheats fine in any oven.

Incorrect; pizza does not need to be reheated, as it is delectable cold.
