Holy shit, Loui's in Hazel Park made it on there. That place is borderline unknown even in the area.

 

[HariKari]

Pizzeria Bianco is the one place from AZ, at #5.

I don't remember for sure but i'm 50% certain I had their pizza and didn't think it was that special. Was a bit disappointed Oregano's didn't make the list, though I guess I should be happy something from Arizona did.

Oreganos is good for a local chain. I'm partial to Barro's myself but it's not list worthy.

Bianco:

 

[Randy Monk]

Ctrl-f "sbarro"

No result.

What!?!

 

[phinious]

Gino's East over Lou Malnatis invalidates this list.

 

[buttery fistful]

at least they got pequod's being chicago's best right

 

[LJ11]

Get Artichoke pizza off the list, it's shit.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Is it pizza?

No that's not


but this is

It's generic-ass wood-fired pizza IMO. Better than La Piazza al Forno—which is touted as an amazing pizza place—but that's not saying much. It's absolutely not #5 worthy.

 

[-hal-]

I want this job of ranking pizzas.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Giordanos, Gino’s East, AND Pequods over Lou Malnati’s tells me everything I need to know about this list.

 

[Amory]

#3 should be #1. Pepe's for life

 

[jetjevons]

I can vouch for Joe's Pizza for sure. And Mozza.

 

[entremet]

Get Artichoke pizza off the list, it's shit.

Lol. I love Artichoke. Very rich, tho.

 

[Premium Quality]

Seems the best places are in New Haven.

 

[Culex]

Frank Pepe's is definitely deserving of the #3 spot. I actually know the CEO though my job.

It even has it's own Wiki page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizzeria_Bianco

Though getting a perfect Zagat score is no small feat.

Oregano's quality goes up and down, depending on location and time of day/week. It is too bad, because they were rocking for the first couple of years they started up.

Guess I'll have to give the one place from Minneapolis on this list a shot

I mean...what else do you have?

 

[norm9]

Lol. I love Artichoke. Very rich, tho.

Had artichoke last time i was in NY. Very delicious. Surprised it's on the list though. Then again, all pizza tastes the same to me.

 

[Althane]

Ctrl-F "Atlanta"

Show's up twice. Great!

One's Antico's. Fuck that place.

Varasano's is good though. Old 4th Ward pizza (... which is now in Duluth for some reason) is also pretty good.

 

[Kayhan]

Sbarro?

 

[Choppasmith]

There's no such thing as good pizza.

Wow, you were really THAT desperate to derail a thread?

 

[gaugebozo]

Holy shit, Loui's in Hazel Park made it on there. That place is borderline unknown even in the area.

I still haven't been there, but it's good to see some amazing Detroit options on the list. Buddy's is even a chain and they have the #19 pizza in the country.

 

[ceramics]

No Pizza Luce? get fucked

 

[DrForester]

No Beaujos Colorado Pizza.

List invalid.

 

[Grady Durden]

The worst fucking opinion I’ve ever seen on this fucking forum.

What an awful, sickening, fucked reality

I see what you did there lol

 

[gaugebozo]

Is it pizza?

 

[Beartruck]

US has the best pizza in the world. Maybe Italy compares, but I had Italian pizza, US can go toe to toe.

Oh definitely. I had a friend who lived in Ireland, and he claimed the best pizza there is the worst Domino's here.

 

[IggyChooChoo]

DiFara's is incredible. I can't say I've eaten enough of these to say it deserves number one, but it is easily the best I've ever had.

 

[Dyle]

Kind of disappointed my college's cafeteria isn't on this list, they had this Chicago hot dog pizza that was perhaps the greatest masterpiece mankind has ever produced.

I know this list is garbage because not a single pizza with pineapple is on that list.

YUS

 

[jman2050]

There's no such thing as good pizza.

What even is this?

 

[Earthbound64]

Frank Pepes is showing as #1 for me

Same.
No idea where the list in that other post came from.

 

[Grzi]

Why do some people see DiFara as #1 on the list and the others Frank Pepe's?
Or is that some type of joke lol

 

[pirateluigi]

No Pizza Luce? get fucked

Agree. That's a big oversight

 

[EhoaVash]

Holy shit, Loui's in Hazel Park made it on there. That place is borderline unknown even in the area.

I drove past that place many many times before I even noticed it was a pizza place lmfao.


I had that pizza once from there. Was okay the tomato sauce I just wasn't feeling it.

And yeah didn't know buddy's was regarded that well either, looks like I'm gonna go try that Detroit zoo pizza this weekend :3

La Piazza al Forno is bad. I've had it twice. Once they undercooked it to the point where the dough in the middle was raw. The second time it was burnt and cold. All the nice ingredients in the world can't save them if they can't cook properly and consistently.

Bianco is good, and luckily you don't have the gigantic wait for them like you used to. I'm also surprised they are still so high considering Bianco is retired.

Cibo's is good too. Spinato's and Stumpy's if you want greasy pizza. As is Vito's if you live near the west valley and want deep dish.

Phoenix area is shockingly great at pizza.

 

[jman2050]

Also it’s not on the list but Valdiano’s in Orlando is by far the best pizza I had while living in Florida, for what it’s worth.

 

[giga]

Same.

Looks like they haven't updated this page though.

 

[Technosteve]

Jersey Shore Bar Pies needs to be better represented

 

[The Llama]

#16 Pizzeria Vetri is about a 5 minute walk from me yet I've never been. Guess I need to change that...

 

[erlim]

little caesars is number 1, right?

Honestly; considering preparation time (none), cost ($5), and the fact the company's founder used to pay for Rosa Park's rent; Little Caesars is very obviously #1.

 

[The Argus]

Jersey Shore Bar Pies needs to be better represented

Agreed. Talula's in Asbury Park beats Roberta's any day, even with the same Hipster DANA.

 

[LProtag]

Pepe's over Sally's and Modern? No way.

At least they also have BAR on there, so the big 4 New Haven places are up there.

Connecticut is the best pizza state.

 

[wenis]

Apparently margarita pizza is also the only common best pizza.

 

[Technosteve]

Agreed. Talula's in Asbury Park beats Roberta's any day, even with the same Hipster DANA.

This list makes it seem people in jersey exclusively eat pizzas in bars.... this is me new jersey is the best

 

[br3wnor]

Pizza belt baby, haven’t been to any of these places but I’m on Long Island and the pizza is amazing so I’m not surprised NYC is notched up another level. Pizza and bagels all day er’y day

 

[gotoadgo]

I ate at #14 on my honeymoon and it was pretty good pizza. The best I've ever had personally.

 

[Clearos]

Living in new haven it is fun seeing the battles that go on about who has the best pizza.

It's like going to North end in Boston and debating Moderns and Mike's for cannolis.

 

[Kwhit10]

#60 mashed potato pizza from Bar in New Haven is my #1.

 

[Waddle Dee]

No Beach Pizza from LA? That's my favorite pizza place.
