Hey Sam, have you ever been to Big Tomato? It's a little shop on Ingersoll run by these punk kids. They're a bit scary sometimes, but they make a damn fine pizza, with just about anything you want on it.

New York City has the best Pizza in this or any other country.
Come on now Bob.... All the real good Italians moved to Chicago from New Youk back in the 20's(and brought their machine guns!) Chicago is KNOWN for its pizza places and "Home Run In" has by farr the best pizza in the country. New York City is only known for its "Big Apples" and come to think of it I've never seen any when I was there. Connies Pizza in Chicago comes in a close second and fortunately we have a franchise hrere in SLC.

Joe,
Pizza Hut In Jackson, WY is THE best pizza hut in the world!

The best pizza usually has to do with where I am presently domiciled. When I lived in Southbridge, MA (literally, around the corner from American Optical.. yes, that AO), it was Brother's Pizza. Here in Northampton, PA, it's Mario's. They are nearly identical, I couldn't believe it.

Thin crust, plain... EXTRA, DOUBLE, or TRIPLE cheese (whatever I can get, not the 1.5 serving most places pass off as "extra" cheese), and light on the sauce! Nummy! [Smile]

I definitely have to agree with you there. My favorite topping is plain old pepperoni. If you ever happen to be in Pittsburgh's South Side, check out Paparazzi. They sell amazing slices of cheese for a buck each on the street, right outside the restautant. It's great on colder evenings.

Here in salt lake I go with Pudge Brothers. The utah franchise makes a fine pizza, the one we usually do is the 25 incher, feeds about 10 people comfortably. You HAVE to take a coke with it, the spices are just nice.

I will agree with mark on Connies, very fine pizza indeed.

Ciao

Don, Then it would appaer that you haven't been to Home Run Inn near Comisky Park in Chicago..... I HATE thick crust pizza. The main reason for pizza is for the excellent toppings and triple cheese... not the bottom that holds it together....... although that bottom if done wrong can ruin a good batch of toppings......

People think I'm crazy... but I'm all about the thick crust Round Table pizza, with pepperoni, onion, bell pepper and bacon. Omigod... pizza with BACON on it is the best thing ever.

Just talking about bacon on pizza makes me want some.... I like that TV commercial with the dog that says "bacon .. Bacon .. BACON"

In New York city during the 1980's, you couldn't go 10 blocks without passing a pizza place with "Ray" in the name. There was Ray's Pizza, Famous Ray's Pizza, Original Ray's, Ray's Famous Original Pizza, etc. I used to go to a 'Ray's' on the corner of 15th St. which I was told was the real original, but who knows? Maybe Bob Marr remembers? Anyway, there finally was a lawsuit and many of the 'Ray's' had to change their name.

The best pizza I ever had was in Woodbridge, New Jersey. The taste may have been enhanced with toxic waste from the refinary nearby, but it was good!

Me too! Don't tell Gord but Canadian Bacon is even better on a pizza... its not as greasy as regular bacon! But regular bacon is also good in a pinch. Some sort of bacon is a must on any pizza.....

Although, for me, a good second choice is ham and pineapple on a pizza.

I second the ham and pineapple pizza, John, but with some onions for added flavor.

The "Ray" pizzeria craze in New York reminds me of the "-Berto's" taco shop craze down here in the late 1980s-early 1990s, all started by the small Roberto's chain, which served greasy but very good tacos and built something of a cult following. Before long, there was Albertos, Adalbertos, Juanbertos, and many more 'bertos. The fickle nature of the restaurant business, not legal action, have since put some of these "fakebertos" out of business.

My younger daughter spent several years in Italy, and says there is no better pizza in the world than one from Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba in Naples Italy. It opened in 1830 and is still in business today at Via Port'Alba 18 in Naples.

Pizzerias in Naples almost all use a large brick oven, a marble counter where the crust was prepared, and a shelf lined with ingredients. Contemporary Neapolitan pizzerias are prepared in the same way they were a century ago. The brick ovens make the pizzerias uncomfortably hot in every season except winter, but the unique flavor of these brick-oven pizzas is unmatched. Pizzaioli (makers of pizza) often assemble the entire pizza on a marble counter as the customer watches.

Of the chains I prefer Round Table Pizza. When I was in college (Long Beach State) I often went to a place close to the campus called Ave #3.

What toppings do I like? I prefer any kind of meat; I'm picky about veggies. Basically, if it grew in the ground I don't want it. If it started out on four legs, put it on the pizza!
