For me its an easy choice. Domino's Pizza rules all.

I also like Round table pizza and pizza express, but I cant stand Pizza Hut.

 

[djtiesto]

Defintiely the local chains around NYC/LI... can't eat pizza unless it's from one of them.

 

[evil ways]

Domino's is good but nothing beats local pizza places like Anthony's Pizza, Marcano's etc., where they serve these thick huge slices that are like the size of 3 Domino's or Pizza Hut slices, plus the crust is big and crunchy.

Sbarro is not to far behind either.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Sbarro is nasty fuckin' rotted cat ass. :X

When a Cleveland pizzaria can make a better imitation New York style pizza than your chain; you know you're screwed.

With that out of the way. . .

It seems to depend on your geography. New York has the kick ass monster pizzas, and Chicago has the wading boot deep dish pizzas. Being in Cleveland, it's mostly shit.

Arcade Pizza is my favorite local place. Greasy as hell, but if you're eating pizza - you're already at a disadvantage. Another good thing is it isn't grease sponge pan pizza crust. So while it's greasy, it isn't nasty going down the throat like a pan pizza.

When I'm rolling in the dough, I like to hit Papa Johns. By far my favorite chain.

When I've got lots of friends over, Pizza Pan is a kick ass local place. The deal is when you pick up your order, you get two free pizzas of equal or lesser value with your order. The offset is the pies are a bit smaller, their large is slightly smaller than a Pizza Hut large; and the prices are a bit higher; but for $18 you can get three three topping large pizzas. It's good party / social feeding.

I just want to go to NY so I can walk around eating a bigass pizza and a hotdog. There is no better place for quick fast food with great taste

 

[Fragamemnon]

For quick and dirty delivery, I like Papa John's the best.

For actually going out and getting a *good* pizza, there's a local place in central Raleigh called Lily's Pizza that's been going strong for a long time now. The style is definitely Californian, but the sheer ingenuity of the speciality pizzas, amazing crust, and blue-collar feel of the place make for a damn fine pizza experience.

 

[dskillzhtown]

Local Pizza places are usually better than chains. I have a place near me named Double Dave's that is damned good. If I do want to get a chain pizza, Domino or Pizza Hut is the place to be.

What's a California style pizza?

This also reminds me of that show on the Food Network this past weekend. Motherfuckers in Australia putting EGG on their pizzas?!

I think we need to bomb them.

 

[olimario]

There's a place here called Angelo's Pizza and Pasta. They have the best Supreme Pizza ever.

 

[Minotauro]

Ugh, I hate Dominoes. Honestly, I'd rather eat the cheapest store-bought microwave pizza possible.

As far as the major chains go, Papa John's is the best. Pizza Hut can be alrigth depending on your particular branch but a lot of times they don't cook it long enough and it ends up greasy-as-hell.

Personally, my favorite is a place called "Imo's" that seems to only be in Midwestern states. I also like this place called "Papa Murphy's" that doesn't actually cook the pizza. They make it and then you cook it at home in your oven. Good shit.

 

[Chony]

In the greater Seattle area:

The Rock Pizza (complete with classic rock posters everywhere { and their "My Generation" pizza >*}) or Mad Pizza (the Jamaican Jerk Pizza > All).

Man, I feel sorry for you if Domino's is the best place where you live.

The last time I had Pizza Pan I got the turbo shits. I can't eat that stuff anymore.

For me its Donato's.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

the Jamaican Jerk Pizza

Orin as a pizza topping is not appetizing.

The last time I had Pizza Pan I got the turbo shits. I can't eat that stuff anymore.

:lol :lol :lol

I get their thin crust.

Thin crust translates to sans oil.

Pan will do that to you.

 

[Coin Return]

+1 Donatos.

You say you're in Cleveland right? There are a few Donato's around, try it out. They are very expensive though.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

This little bread bakery near my place has the greatest pizza ever.

 

[brooklyngooner]

I live near Grimaldi's in Brooklyn motherfuckers. I win

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Oh shit, I forgot about Captain Tony's!

You can get some pretty wonky toppings. I like the salami and fresh cut tomatos.

I would try Donatos, but they're all way the hell out of the way. Parma, Warrensville Heights, etc.

I hear Donatos good. I'll have to try it some time.

 

[karasu]

Domino's. But I prefer Dgiorno's and Red baron

 

[xsarien]

If it needs to be a chain, Papa John's or CPK will do. But if I can help it, I go local. It's actually fresh pizza, not frozen pizza defrosted in an oven*.


(* I should note that CPK is also made on the spot, as the kitchen is open to the dining room, so you can see everything. It's just that it's too damned fancy to be real pizza. )

 

[robertsan21]

i travelled around the world and i cannot say i have found a better Pizza than the pizzas at Milanos pizzeria in the city Hagfors,värmland in sweden!

man they are just amazing

 

[Comfort_Eagle]

For local I go to a place called magpies. Great pizza. I especially love their Hawaiian. If im lazy and just want something uber cheep and fast then papa johns will do. I they are the best of the big chains.

Double Dave's? Are you kidding? Mr. Gatti's has better pizza than Double Dave's and that's not saying much.

Please, a good Chicago style pizza craps all over that. Grimaldi's is way overrated.

Locally for me:

No one better.

 

[B'z-chan]

Cant stand Pizza Hut Dominos and the like. I'm a diehard fan of Me-N-Ed's started in calfifornia back when my mom was a little kid in the 60's. Great damn pizza wheat crust and wood grilled.

Expensive as fucking hell though. I reallyed liked chigaco style pizza, but no plaze in my town makes them. And i aint gonna try Pizza Hut's. I want a good stuffed or deep dish pie.

Anyone make there own pizza? I tried that a while back, turned out really well. I just asked the guy at my local pizza place what goes into making a pizza and almost made a perfect knock of fofr half the price.

 

[beto]

Lou Malnati's in Chicago, greatest pizza ever.

 

[King Jippo]

The real question is who makes the best frozen pizza. Seriously, I've yet to find one that is halfway decent. Suggestions, please.

 

[gblues]

The test of a good pizza isn't how good it tastes fresh, but how well it re-heats.

Domino's is OK fresh but it fails the reheat test MISERABLY. Blech. blech. Once it's cold, just toss it in the trash.

Now Round Table... that's pizza you can put in the fridge and zap it in the microwave a week later and it still tastes good.

In response to both Cleveland posts, Geraci's > all. Expensive as all hell, but delicious. Mama Santa's is another great non-delivery pizza. For delivery, I recommend Zeppe's. Less expensive than Donato's(I think), and very good. Miles above Papa John's, my previous delivery favorite.

hehe I was actually thinking about this while I was typing up my Papa John's post... in our household we really like Freschetta.

That's true, if you smoke crack, which you clearly do.

Don't get me wrong, I'd take Grimaldi's over any chain's pizza. Its definitely quality pizza. The best though? Far from it. Go to some of the shops in Old Forge, PA. That's some fucking amazing pizza.

Italy.

You're right

 

[themadcowtipper]

GodFather's Pizza is easily the best

 

[Brian Fellows]

Papa John for chains.

For local I'll go with Leo's Pizza.

 

[frolet]

Chains suck - Papa John's is the best chain.

Best pizza EVER = Marra's in South Philly

 

[Chairman85]

Deninos in Staten Island.

Deninos in Staten Island.

Is that on Port Richmond ave?

 

[Birbo]

In Chicago, there's a place called Pequods that rules. They have the best crust...they put cheese between the crust and the pan to carmalize the crust...soooo good.

South burbs has a place called Aurelio's...good thin crust.

Sooo hungry now.

 

[Seth C]

Slice of Chicago in Lexington, KY is by far the best I've ever had. It beats out Gino's East in Chicago, as far as I'm concerned.

As far as mini-chains go, I really like Giovanni's. The only exist around Kentucky/Ohio/West Virginia though, I think. Maybe a few stretch up in to Pennsylvania though.

 

[hiryu]

My favorite is a local place called Damon's. They have crazy toppings. My favorite is to get roasted red peppers, popcorn chicken, black olives, onions, and almonds.
