OT: The Pizza Capital of the World?

[BRS24]

And for the kids, do a dessert pizza. We called one "Halloween Dumpster" and it was just melted chocolate bars of various types over dough.

Haha - amazingly, there's never a dough ball left as everyone wants to get in on the action.

Flo, RIP, from Sally's used to say her best pizza was the crushed garlic, no cheese. After we tried it my wife and most of our kids agree.
We are wintering in FL now and I understand what our old friends who have moved down here said, the pizza down here sucks.

I felt that way the one time I went to California Pizza Kitchen. I wound up getting barbecue chicken, which had barbecue sauce instead of normal sauce/paste, I don’t even remember if it had cheese. That was literally the closest thing to pizza I could find on the menu.

Try their pepperoni pizza. It's pretty good

Pizza in Napoli is pretty special
We eat regularly at a modest joint near the railway station…La Cantina dei mille…my wife likes the seafood…another specialty...

Surprisingly, there’s good Chinese in the “hood” as well

Years ago, I was changing trains in the Naples train station, and I had a pizza in the food court, and it was the best slice I’ve ever had. And I grew up in the Bronx. I can’t imagine what it must be like in a real Naples pizza place.

Geno really ripped the pizza in Connecticut, and I mean ripped. This state is trying to get an idenity, so I think his comments were uncalled for. Mention it once, but he just went on and on. Not a cool thing to say about the state that pays his salary.

We’re not talking (sour) grapes. We’re talking pizza.

Pineapple on pizza? Sei pazzo/Sei pazza? Only in California.

An abomination. In the Biblical sense.

Ct. may claim to be pizza nirvana, ask any pizza aficionado who has travel the land where the best pizza, the most diverse types, and tastiest pizza is found. There is one location where hot dogs and pizza are king, that is hands down, Chicago. The city may be a joke in many respects; however they know how to make a pie and dress up a dog. Yes, I have been to the place in Ct. that claims to be the 1st pizza place in the country and found it to be lacking to pizza in Chicago.

Chicago dogs are the bomb. Even with the relish that’s in a color that doesn’t appear in nature.

Chicago pizza is a contradiction in terms.

The term may be a contradiction for you. But the pizza is not. Nothing like picking up a piece of pie in Ct. or New York and having it flop over like a limp flaccid whatever. If you can't find pizza in Chicago that you love you are not human. You also have the best frozen pizza in the world from the Chicago area. Home Run Inn. It puts the Ct. parlor pizza to shame in comparison.

There is a 10k+ thread on best pizza in CT on the mbb board.

Connecticut: The epicenter for charred crust apizza and hot, butter-drenched lobster rolls. A substantial reason why I decided to never retire South!

My fav of the NH pizza places was at Modern...

One of his funniest bits ever

My fav of the NH pizza places was at Modern...

Spent the 1st 5 years of my life around the corner on Humphrey Street. Would walk with my older sisters to Modern to pick up pies to bring home. Back then it was a dark smokey place with the oven fire roaring in the back. Scared me as a kid, thought it was hell.

And bagels, don't forget bagels. Hard to get a decent bagel south of the Mason-Dixon line. And Arthur Ave bread? Fuhgeddaboudit.

I can. On my last trip to Italy we started in Naples, and one of our stops was the restaurant reputed to be repeats it was invented. The pizza was great that decor was impressive, it had a lot of greenery so much that you wondered if you were inside or outside. Headed back to Italy in April, though not to Naples.
