Franky's Famous Pizza on Bird Rd. in Miami. My friends and I went there after one of the guys spotted them on the list of top pizza places in the country from Conde Nast Traveller magazine. Their pizza blows away anything else I've had. The best part is they only do "to go" orders as they have no seating and they put an extra slice on top of the box to eat on your way home. :tu

Since, I haven't lived in Florida for years my current favorite pizza place is Cambridge 1. I love their pizza with lobster & corn on it. :dr

The original Buddy's in Detroit. Square pizza with a crispy, buttery crust; just a bit of spicy tomato sauce; and an amazingly rich cheese blend. Throw some Canadian bacon under the cheese and you're good to go.

Patsy's Pizzeria in East Harlem, NY -- coal fired oven, open since 1933, ****ing amazing pizza. THIS is New York style pizza ... the only kind worth your dime, IMHO. :dr

http://www.patsyspizzeriany.com/

My favorite too! Found about this place from a food forum, a group went around to all the 'best' pizza places in NYC and posted photos and reviews. The web is an amazing thing.
A close second is anybody with a coal oven that knows what they're doing. Coal oven pizza is the best pizza. :dr

Mack and Manco's Pizza in Ocean City, NJ! The best in the world!

I second this . I drive an hour and a half a couple times during the winter just to cure my hole families craving . You can actually taste all 3 ingredients , the crust , the sauce and the cheese . Put some pepperoni on top or whatever and it only gets better ! I happen to work in South Philly and have never found a great pizza place , one would think that with all the Italians living there that great pizza would be on almost every corner . If anyone knows of any great pizza in South Philly , please let me know where .

Sal's Pizza -- a bunch of locations in NH and Mass. (plus a couple in CA and FL) -- they built their rep on their famous all-natural, fresh-ingredient-only, 19 inch, 3 lb pizza. (and their "slices" are 1/4 pizza!)

900 Degrees - Manchester, NH -- gourmet pizza, more of a sit-down place though.

:hn Serious? They offer a big slice, but that is all I can say good about it. MA does not have much for good pizza in general. Sweet Tomatoes or the original Regina are best around Boston.

Sal's seems to be one of those places that people either love it or hate it. No one has a middle opinion. You're right about Regina's though -- it's great!

But being in southern NH, I don't get down to Boston much and so have to make do with what's around.
(So I actually mostly make my own pizza from scratch.)

It's tough to get a good pie in NH/MA; RI has a few places.

I hear ya... If someone opened up a real coal fired pizza joint like Brooklyn and made their own mozzarella; they'd be rich! It's not difficult at all. Making Mozzarella is a piece of cake. Making the crust correct and consistent is an art, but can be done for sure.

Upper Crust is has opened several places around Boston and they all suck. The crust is hardly "upper" and it's the same old crappy cheese. To charge $18 for a simple pizza goes against pizza as a food!

Drat

11-10-2008, 12:44 PM

Although there are dozens of top notch pizza places in Brooklyn, two stand out as "best" in my books:

Di Fara Pizza on Avenue J and 15th Street - the guy imports his cheese from Italy and closes when he runs out.

Totonno's Pizza on Neptune in Coney Island - Super thin crust but top notch ingredients and brick oven deliciousness.

Anyone coming to NYC for a visit, get in touch, I'll hook you up with some good spare time wandering directions and will join you if life allows.

I'm going to go with one of my local favorites. Many don't know, but St. Louis has a "little Italy" of it's own and we here call it "The Hill" or la collina. My favorite pizza joint is Bartolino's. They are many to choose from but this is my favorite. If any inmates come to the STL area let me know and we will grab a slice of the best pie this side of Italia.

I HATE Sweet Tomatos. I got a pie from the one in Newton Center when it first opened and if I recall correctly wasn't too impressed. I recently got another pie this time from their new location in Needham. Again . . . not impressed. Despite ordering a pizza with several toppings the pie had no flavor at all. It was VERY bland and it was pretty expensive as far as pizza goes. Plus, my wife and I had pretty bad upset stomachs after eating the pizza. Everyone RAVES about Sweet Tomatoes, but I've tried their pizza twice and found it less than satisfying.

I've never eaten at Regina's but I do LOVE Santarpio's in East Boston. That is some GREAT pizza.

I make no claims that any of these are "the best" in the nation (which is a retarded notion, anyway)...but these are joints I've enjoyed, and if you're visiting any of these places, they're worth checking out:

* Chicago - the previously mentioned Giordano's

Santarpios is pretty good, I do not like going to that neighborhood too much. The lamb kebabs are famous there too.

You must try Pizzaria Regina in the North End! Just get a plain pizza or the rake you on the price big time. Cash only too. Regina is got to be the best overall pizza in the area. I think they use a coal fiired oven.

Palermo's in (east) Hollywood, CA. Owned by an immigrant Sicilian family, 30 years in business and I've been a customer for 29 of those years, has grown from 6 tables to 30 with a full bar, always a wait for a table. Ask for Tony--what a stereotypical Italian name, but I suppose he could have been named (super) Mario. :p He has two walls of then-unknown celebrity headshots, some of whom now are famous, but they all claim to like the pizza. ;)

Ever been to Modern Pizza in New Haven, Roseland in Ansonia, or Rosies in Stratford?

My all-time favorite from my youth was DeNito's in Bridgeport. Can't touch it.

Santarpio's in East Boston, and Pizzaria Regina in the North End will do though.

Otherwise, it would be a New York Style pizza joint with greasy pizza. :dr

Papa Johns
Then Dominos for their thin crust
I've regularly ordered delivery from those two, but favorite pizza joint? I don't think either one has a dining area.

In Houston my favorites are:
Pizza Roma on Diary Ashford. (closed)
Barry's (http://www.barryspizza.com/PhotoGallery.htm) Pizza on Richmond. Best Sicilian now that Pizza Roma is closed.
Star Pizza (http://www.starpizza.net/home1.htm). Very good, not great pizza, but a great pizza joint. atmosphere.

For a franchise pizza joint I think Russo's New York Pizzeria (http://www.nypizzeria.com/index.html) is awesome. You can't beat the XL 28" for parties.

Mellow Mushroom. Eveything they have is great but the gourmet white is effin awesome.

There was one of these on Panama City Beach for two years and I never made it in. Always meant to, but you know how that goes. One day I'll try the one in Destin.

Recently a Red Elephant Pizza (http://www.redelephantpizza.com/) opened in town. Two thumbs up.

I'm not one for bougie pizza, but 2 weeks ago I was in LA for work and a friend of mine took me to Pizzeria Mozza (the little brother of Osteria Mozza). I have to say, it was tremendous. The crust was absolute perfection, a shade before burnt with a softer inside. This actually brings me to a good point: most people claim that the difference between east and west coast pizza is the crust. I beg to differ, as I've had equally good crust on both coasts... no, I believe it's the sauce. Sauce on the east coast tends to be a bit sweeter, with less of a marinara flavor to it. Anyhow, back from tangentia, for dessert we had a "butterscotch budino" that was like a little butterscotch pudding. They prepared this salty, as well as sweet, and it was unbelievable. I would highly recommend this place, but with one caveat: make reservations... they open at 12pm, we got there at 11:30 thinking that would be safe for a walk-in, and it was, just barely.

PS. Best pizza in NY, Ciro's on beach 116 in Rockaway imo.
