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!

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.

The best pizza place I know of (that I ate at least) is Grimaldi's in Brooklyn.

http://www.grimaldis.com/

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:

* Austin - I have three I frequent
**Mangia - Chicago pie-style - http://www.mangiapizza.com/
**Salvation - Cracker-thin crust - http://salvationpizza.com/
**Southside Flying Pizza - Outstanding red sauce & oven-fired - http://www.southsideflyingpizza.com/

* Stillwater, OK - Hideaway Pizza (it's different/better than the ones in Tulsa and OKC) - http://www.hideawaypizza.net/

* Salida, CO - Amica's Pizza & Brewery - http://www.amicassalida.com/

* Chicago - the previously mentioned Giordano's

After searching around here for the past 10yrs, I would say don't bother getting a pizza in Seattle. You guys in NY are making me jealous and hungry though.

My favorite of all time is Luciano's it's about 30 minutes outside of pittsburgh. (used to work there as a kid). Here in NC there's not much but micahelangelo's in Jacksonville is decent. When I was at Ft. Devens there was alittle shop right off base that had excellent calamari!! don't know about the pizza though.

Colorado Springs, CO - Roman Villa on Nevada ~ pepperoni and jalapeño
Colorado Springs, CO - Fargo's on Platte ~ Sophia Special
Denver (go to Idaho Springs if you can) - Beau Jo's ~ order your favorite

Drove around the upper mid-west since the early 2000s and never really found anything comparable. Bar pizzas, mostly, darn-it! Had a great one in Chicago, but can't remember the name.

Ummmmmmm Pizza

I really like Nancy's Pizza, a few stores in the Chicagoland area.

Love the stuffed style pizzas.

I have had an upset stomach there too. That just goes to say that Boston has crappy Pizza in general if the place that everyone loves still sucks...

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.

Haven't been there yet, but I heard that is the best. I know a few that rave about it.

Mack and Manco's is great. I try to have it at least a couple of times each summer.

Closer by for me (and you ) is (yet another) Sal's Pizza. This one in Mantua, NJ. Best local joint for my $.
