Message: [QUOTE="dog bone, post: 1317827, member: 253"] Okay I was going to keep quiet, but when someone compares Greek Pizza to Jim Boeheim, I draw the line. I'm obviously in the minority here, but I was born and raised on Greek style pizza and love it. I don't quite get all the haters but I do have a theory that folks typically like to think their hometown pizza as the best. As a former resident of Windham County, I can attest family and friends love the stuff and even have it shipped across the country to other former residents. Yelp has 4.5 stars to Tony's pizza in Willimantic: [URL]http://www.yelp.com/biz/tonys-pizza-Willimantic[/URL], so obviously there are plenty of fans. Perhaps this read can help explain some of the hatred: [URL]http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2011/08/the-pizza-lab-how-to-make-new-england-greek-style-pizza-at-home.html[/URL] To quote the author of the article: "[I]There's a good reason why Greek pizza, a style found mostly in the "Pizza Houses" and "Houses of Pizza" in New England is not more popular, and the reason is this: [B]It's not very good[/B]. Ok, let me modify that statement. It's usually not very good."[/I] I particularly like the graph in the article explaining how difficult it is to make a good greek pizza compared to other styles. Don't get me wrong, I like Neapolitan and NY styles as well, but I prefer a good Greek Pizza. [/QUOTE]
