Almost any local restaurant in upstate NY with an Italian name.

Hi Neopolitan... <<one right here in Naples, Florida courtesy of Campiello's via Minneapolis>>

Could you explain further? This Minneapolis gal's inquiring mind wants to know.
:S-

Agree with the assessments of Pepe's and Sally's. Good news for Tampa folks - Alessi's Bakery now serves New Haven style pizza and it is very good. My dad grew up in New Haven and knows his pizza and is now a regular at Alessi's. :)

Sorry. I guess you know it all as D'Amico. I know they started in Minneapolis and have several restaurants. Now they are in Naples with Campiello, Lurcat, and D'Amico.

Marion's, Dayton, Ohio? Wow, haven't thought of that place since I left 30 plus years ago. They always used to have the Kenley Players cast parties there. It was good though as I remember. Do they still have Vic Cassano's -- cut into squares?

And oddly enough, LoveItaly. I have to say I've loved the pizzas better in southern France -- Nice in particular than anywhere in Italy -- including a search of the most "famous" original places in Naples, Italy. All were good, but they do something better in Nice in my opinion.

Judyrem, you are soooo right!!! This thread has me drooling, lol. We all need a GTG in a restaurant in Italy with nothing to eat but their terrific pizza, sigh. Mangia!

Neopolitan - I've been gone from Dayton a long time also but I stopped there last year, just to have pizza, as I was driving through from SFO to DC. It is still as good as ever and still cut in squares.

Well, if I get back to Dayton soon (I was there last October) the first night is dedicated to the Pine Club. Then I might think about pizza.

This is simply the BEST pizza I've ever eaten, and I've had plenty in Italy. You can scoff if you like, but you gotta try this first.

The best pizza is in New Haven , CT. The locals call it apizza. The reason that the pies are so good is because of Sally's , Pepe's and Modern. They have raised the bar so high that it's either compete or get out of the way. They are the standard by which all others are judged. I started going to Sally's before they even had pizza boxes. The pie came off the peel to a piece of cardboard and was then wrapped in white "sandwich" paper. In those days the pie was cut with scissors. The early pies were either plain or with mozzarella cheese. The modern versions with pineapple , bbq sauce , fruits and what ever would make Frank Pepe and Sally Consiglio spin in their graves.

Ah yes, ok, I get it now, thank Neo.
(we love D'Amico, too.)

The "Gutbuster" at Lake Tahoe Pizza Co. in South Tahoe.

I always here about Chicago. Whys their pizza so good? Whats the best pizza place in the windy city

Depends who you ask, hoopstraveler. There have been several threads on the subject.

For Chicago style pizza, I like Giordano's. But, on the whole, I have to agree with Neo. I like thin crust. I've never had a thin crust at any of the main Chicago favorites. But there are several local places here in Villa Park that make a great thin crust pizza. Off-hand, my two favorites would be Villa Nova and Michael Anthony's.

Buffalo. Period.

Buffalo Girl, Of course you are correct, Buffalo has great pizza. I am always disappointed ordering pizza in other cities. But where are your favorite pizzerias in Buffalo? I love Bocce, but there are many that are good.

In Anchorage, the Moose's Tooth(on the Old Seward Highway) is as good as it gets.
In summer, there are up to 20 or more people waiting outside to get buzzed.. it's gourmet and original and the crust is just right. Probably having the pre dinner beer(several actually) and wine also keeps everyone in a good mood.
They have a heavenly ginger salad that prevents more than two slices from happening..

Great Plains Sauce & Dough.

Terrible name, astoundingly great pizza.

Ames, Iowa.

V & J Pizza
Wayne, NJ

Still the best to me! :)

Andrew, can we see your Portland Pizza Map?
