Thick crust? thin crust ?

What do you put on your pie and where do you get it or wish you could?


All the pizza around here sucks.

Should have come to the Nor'Easter. Didn't see Julia Roberts in person, but Mystic Pizza was pretty good....

Is there an UNO's Chicago Grill near you? I know there is one in Orlando, but that is a little far.

UNO's Chicago Grill is a chain that is an offshoot of Numero Uno in Chicago. When I lived there, Numero Uno was second only to Gino's East. I see that they are still rated the number 24 restuarant in the city.

I usually go for the house special or sausage, mushroom, and bell pepper. Depends what the house special is.

Best pizza I ever had was House of Pizza in St Cloud Minn.

I still know people who will drive 60 miles up from mpls just to go there.

Square pan too

Ha! So Naples is on the Most Expensive list AND it has lousy pizza, eh?

At least we've got good (New York style, at least) pizza over here. HPH

Every Italian in the whole US (lots of them from NY) seems to want to move to Naples and open either an Italian house of haute cuisine, and Italian Deli or a Pizza joint.

They come and go like love bugs.

I've been here a long time. There is no good pizza in Naples.

I really liked that slice I had at Mystic Pizza up in Connecticut at the Nor'easter, but I don't eat pizza very often, so I'm probably not a good pizza judge.

New York... any street corner... thin crust... plain cheese for me...

Some have their particular favorites, but the pizza in any neighborhood pizzaria in NYC is better than anything I've ever had elsewhere.

My Aunt Ruth claims that there's a place in Tel Aviv that's better, but I haven't had a chance to sample it.

There are a few places here in LA that "claim" to have authentic NYC pizza... some even go so far as to have NY water brought in to try to capture that "authentic" taste...

As Gennifer Flowers said to Monica Lewinsky... it's close, but no cigar.

If I were left on a desert island w/ only 1 food in perpetuity, it'd be pizza. Being in NYC I'm spoiled w/ the many varieties and types available.
I've been alternating between 'conventional' w/ 'white' riccotta. The exception being lasagne pizza - tomatoe, riccotta, ground beef w/ crispy thin crust.
However, I must say when I lived in New Haven, CT the thin crust brick oven pizza (local debate: Pepe's vs Sally's, though I think Modern's also pretty good) was well worth the wait. I can't imagine how much cash they make!
PS: to avoid a soggy pizza, drain the water from veggies after pre-cooking. Nothing worse than soggy crust
