Wheres the really good pizza
 

I live in Colorado and though it is getting better the pizza here still stinks for the most part. So I was wondering where you can find the best pizza in the us? What cities, states and pizza joints are the best

Dave's Pizza
Virginia, Minnesota
218-741-DAVE

Best pizza ever.
Family run business.
There's nothing like a Dave's.

Regina's, Boston North End

Casanova's in Makawao, Maui HI.
Willow Street in San Jose and Los Gatos, CA.

Pepe's and Sally's on Wooster St. in New Haven CT.

(And at Giordano's in Chicago for deep dish. And at John's Pizza on Bleeker St. in NYC.)

The best pizza in in New York

The Margherita at A16 in the Marina (Chestnut St.), SF.

Sally's

You'll never find a definitive answer because we'll never all agree what makes a great pizza. Thick or thin? Lots of tomato sauce or none or chunks or slices of tomatos instead? Wood oven, coal oven, electric?

I have yet to like a pizza in Chicago -- as they've all been way too thick and doughy for me. I'm sure there are thin pizzas there, I just never had one. And by doughy I don't mean uncooked -- just too much dough!

I like Grimaldi's in Brooklyn, and Patsy's on the upper east side. John's was pretty good too.

Currently my favorite pizza is one right here in Naples, Florida courtesy of Campiello's via Minneapolis. Paper thin crust topped with wild mushrooms, pancetta, and gorgonzola, plus some herbs done in their wood oven. Magnificent. But I know a lot of people would much rather have a nice big slab of dough with tomato sauce and other stuff. More traditional. Just please leave the pineapple or shimp off mine!!!

bobrad - Is Sally's in Chicago?

If it is what I am thinking it is SOOO good.

St. Louis pizza is the worst for the record!!! I live here and hate it.

New York Pizza in Napa CA

I grew up on the east coast not too far from NYC, where "pizza by the slice" NY-style pizza places (most of them good!) are everywhere. Here in Portland, there aren't many great pizza places; I've even devoted a whole website to mapping and reviewing them.

I happen to prefer NY-style "thin crust" pizza, but I've found that many native Oregonians have a very different idea of what "good pizza" is than I do. As someone else said above, "good pizza" is quite a subjective term - depends on what you are used to and on your personal tastes.

I'm happy with any "pizza by the slice" place I can find in NYC, really, when I visit. But I took a trek up to Famous Ray's Pizza in Greenwich Village (one of the many Ray's claiming to be the "original") last May when I was in the city. A former local tells me Ray's isn't what it used to be, but it was still quite good.

Hungry now!

Luttanzi's Meatlover Pizza on Martha's Vineyard made me a believer. Who would have thought - so many meats, one little pizza.

In New York - Arturo's and Posto

AnneS - Sally's is in New Haven CT.

Marion's - Dayton, OH

I forgot Palermo's in Campbell, CA. It's great but service is a little slow. Piled with toppings, if you're into that. I like their Sicilian and Greek salads.

Hi Neo! I imagine you enjoy the pizza in Italy. I sure do and get so hungry when I think about those thin crust pizzas with fungi and herbs, sigh.

Used to be CK's Grilled Pizza in Norcross GA, but they went out of business. Sigh. They did win a best pizza award! Right now my fave in FLL is Franco & Vinnies. LOveitaly, NOTHING beats a super thin pizza (Margherita)in Italy, I could eat one everyday!
