Me neither =/ All the pizza around here is terrible. There's good pizza in spots, in the city (Portland), but I find I'm far too lazy to actually go out and have pizza at a restaurant.

You must not know where Houston is...

EDIT:

Can't find a good Steak Restauraunt in Houston either. This is Texas, it's supposed to be good, even at chains like Saltgrass & Outback are shitty now. :/

I'm so sorry :(
 
I've rarely had bad pizza. One case was in Washington DC, at Union Station. There was a really awful pizza place there, with bad service to top it off. Also, whenever someone tries to make their pizza seem 'authentic' by not using the vegetables well. Like when they use huge tomato slices instead of actually making a good sauce. One time there was a whole onion in the middle of the slice. What the hell am I supposed to do with a whole onion on the pizza? Am I supposed to eat that?

This stuff actually isn't bad.
 
This is wrong. I am the pizza master of the world. My pizzas are beautiful, not too much sauce, just the right amount of toppings and cheese, and they taste wonderful. Will take pics when I go to work today.
 
He won a category at the World Pizza Championship. Pizza a Metro (pizza by the meter or Roman-style pizza) not an overall crown. Basically this is the opinion of the writer and nothing more.

What kind of cheese do you use? I haven't had much luck with the shredded mozz at the grocery store. Has no flavor whatsoever and it doesn't melt right.

wat. Unless you live in that heathen ungodly place know as Friendswood, there's plenty of good steak places in Houston. You're right about the pizza though.

It's a weird pizza they have in New Haven, you can't even get it anywhere else in Connecticut. It's kind of shaped like a circle, but not really, and cut every which way. Most of the stuff here in CT is pan-cooked Greek style pizza.

Fortunately, Frank Pepe's has started expanding throughout Connecticut. Whenever I visit friends in central Connecticut we go at least once to the Pepe's in Manchester. I dunno exactly how that location stacks up to the original New Haven location, but it tastes absolutely incredible to me.

FnordChan, hoping to visit the Colony Grill in Stamford one of these days
 
gonna have to reserve my opinion till i try it first hand, last time i was on the west coast the pizza was aight, forgettable at worst. Plenty of other good eats, mexican, seafood, BURGERS OMFG YES BURGERS, etc. Italian food didnt stand out as exceptional. Ive lived on both coasts so this would be news if it finally stopped being sub par out there.

I'd love to read more about the economics behind the shop. That's a lot of overhead he's looking at over there.

popular pizzas take on the overhead of less popular pizzas...

this place sounds hardcore, but im not a big fan of palces that try to do too much. usually nyc's best pizzarias have a very selective menu.
 
I'm surprised that an Australian hasn't come in here yet and try to pass off his garbage on a dough plate as pizza yet.
 
I'm not a pizza man but is it wrong for me to think that the $.99 Jeno's pepperoni pizza I can snag at the local supermarket is still my favorite pizza ever?
 
Having eaten there before, the pizza there is damn good. However, his award-winning pizza, the margherita pizza, is made in limited quantities every day, something like 73 of them. If you want to try it, make sure you're not going towards the end of the day.
 
Its cute seeing these kinda claims crop up every week or so. Hell just in my neighborhood alone there's 4 distinctly different pizzerias all of whom are great. Sorry the rest of the country, but new york got this shit on lockdown. Keep trying though..everyone needs a dream.

I have a little ceasers, round table, papa murphy's and papa john's close by also. Doesn't mean they're great.

Which is why he qualified his statement with "great" in that very sentence.
 
Best pizzeria in the nation on the west coast in fruity hippie central? lol no...

I'd take cardboard flavored NY pizza over anything offered in Cali. If you want real pizza go to Chicago. That being said, living in San Fran I'll go visit this place, predetermined to dislike it.
 
It's odd that he would include New Haven and Stl style but not Chicago style, but the place does sound interesting. Do any other pizza lovers not enjoy the traditional Naples inspired pizza? There's a place close to where I used to love in Chicago that brought an oven brick by brick from Naples and that was always packed even though I found the pizza boring.

The pizzeria's in North Beach, which is essentially SF's Little Italy and has a number of Italian restaurants.

I love Chef. When I was a little kid every Friday was Chef night. That powder cheese should be an affront to taste, but Goddamn if it doesn't work.

And it's fun seeing claims by people who probably have only eaten pizza from their neighborhood that can't believe it's not the best. It's not that inconceivable that the best pizza restaurant is not from NY people. If this person said that SF pizza as a whole was better than NY then yes there may be room for debate.
 
Vilam said:
It is. NYC pizza tastes like cardboard and folding a pizza is stupidity.

you know around here that gets you an extra breathing hole. when I want a pie I go to the bakery, when I want pizza I get a pizza that I can hold and fold and taste CHEESE not sauce.
