When I first read that, I was like..."WHOA! Another Pittsburgher! " Because we have a Homewood and a Southside. odd.

KillarneyRose 12-03-2004 11:25 AM

All these food topics lately are making me hungry!!! IMO, The absolute best pizzas can be found at:

1. Amato's in Etna, PA
2. Beto's on Banksville Road in Pittsburgh
3. Mr. Pizza and Subs, Pasadena, Maryland
4. Ricetta's Brick Oven Pizza, South Portland, Maine
5. Del's in Bloomfield (Pittsburgh), PA

Honorable Mentions to:
V & T Restaurant on Amsterdam Ave in Morningside Heights, Manhattan
Romeo's Pizza, Wildwood, New Jersey (True, I've never tried this while sober but, boy, was it yummy at 2 am)

sigmagrrl 12-03-2004 11:37 AM

OK, I don't have 5. I have four:

Fourth Place: Pizzeria Uno's

Third Place: Armand's Pizza, Gaithersburg, MD

Second Place: J&S Pizza, Rosedale, Queens, NY

First Place: Mamma Lucia's Pizza, Rockville, MD


There are various holes-in-the-wall in NY that serve kick a$$ pizza, but I don't know the names....just the smell...that HEAVENLY SMELL!!!!

ADPiZXalum 12-03-2004 11:57 AM

I like Pizza Hut, not many choices where I live

ISUKappa 12-03-2004 12:21 PM

1. Great Plains Sauce & Dough Co., Ames, Iowa
2. Zoey's Pizzaria, Marion, Iowa
3. Tomasso's Pizza, Cedar Rapids, Iowa

There are a few places we went to in NYC that were pretty good, but I couldn't tell you what or where they were. And they probably only tasted as good as they did because it was 3 am and we had been out all night.

IowaStatePhiPsi 12-03-2004 12:48 PM

Great Plains, Ames Iowa
Giordano's, downtown Chicago
Pagliai's Pizza (the original: Grinnell, IA. the only other good one I've been to is in Bloomington, IN)

valkyrie 12-03-2004 12:59 PM

There's a Pagliai's in Iowa City and I always thought it was really good.

emleepc 12-03-2004 01:25 PM

(in no particular order):
Dave's Pizza---Homewood
Mellow Mushroom---Southside (it's kinda pricey, and takes a while though)
New York Pizza---Homewood
Totino's----from the freezer section of your local grocery
Papa John's---delivered to your front door

PhiPsiRuss 12-03-2004 01:54 PM

The First Real List of This Thread
 
http://www.totonnos.com/Pizza700.jpg

1. Totonnos pizzeria, in the Coney Island neighborhood of Brooklyn, is a place where we would get pizza when I was growing up. It has been there since 1924. Best pizza, and the absolute worst table service anywhere.

2. Patsy's on 1st Avenue, in East Harlem. This small Italian enclave has produced some of the most notorious mobsters in American history. The pizza at the original Patsy's, open since 1932, is the best of a group that are Patsy's + Patsy clones.

3. Grimaldi's, in Fulton Ferry, Brooklyn, and in Hoboken, is a Patsy's clone that many argue is better than Patsy's.

4. John's of Bleeker Street, open since 1929, is the best in Greenwich Village. Not as good as the above three, but far better than the best pizza in any other city (except Philly and New Haven.)

5. Two Boots is named after the maps of Italy and Louisiana. This New York Cajun pizza chain is great for something different.

KSigkid 12-03-2004 02:06 PM

In no particular order:

My Brother's Place - Boston
Pizzeria Regina - Boston's North End
Sabino's - Bristol, CT (maybe the best - owned by an Italian family that cooks EVERYTHING well)
T. Anthony's - Boston
The Upper Crust - Boston/Brookline

Do the Pagliai's of which you all speak have stuffed breadsticks?

The one in BG near campus (Campus Pollyeye's, run by the Pagliai family, who has another pizza place in town) has the most amazing breadsticks EVER.

PhoenixAzul 12-03-2004 06:08 PM

oooo KillarneyRose you're after my heart. I love Dell's in Bloomfield, not only is their pizza tremendous, but their pasta is to DIE for.

EagleChick19 12-03-2004 07:00 PM

1) Pizza University
2) Wings and Things (incidentally, where the crew of Viva la Bam gets their wings and pizzas.)

These are both in West Chester, PA (Can you tell I live a college town? There are a bizillion pizza joints!)
