llamaface Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Cogan's in Norfolk, VA is one of the best pizza joints I've been to. There's no good reason to be in Norfolk, but definitely go there if you're in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 PIZZAAAAAA! I'm a New York guy more often than not, but Chicago style deep dish certainly has a place in my heart! Here in Portland, my go to pizza joints are: Sizzle Pie, the Heart Attack Man is BONKERS, pretty much all their pizzas are good though. (more NY style) Via Chicago has some awesome stuff. Chicago style deep dish, der.) aaaaand my number one choice lately has been Pinky's The Buscemi is IN.SANE. yum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, i do find Hot Lips surprisingly delicious for a small chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've never heard if hammy's, I'll have to try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I've got no idea what the difference is between New York and Chicago style. Someone enlighten me. Also. Pizza should never have pineapple. At all ever. I live pineapple. It just shouldn't be on a pizza. Same as BBQ sauce. NO! Also. 3 toppings plus cheese maximum. Can we talk about what makes a great pizza? For me it's a great thin crust with a little air about it. No thick crust, not wafer thin. And pepper. Always fresh cracked pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladew1ll1s1sdead Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'm all about double cheese, double mushroom and extra sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 For me, it's pep, spicy sausage, bacon and green pepper and we'll done. Really hate a floppy, chewy slice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I have eaten quite a few different pizza in the US...don't know all the styles etc, but all of them were quite good! Nevertheless, I prefer the relatively thin, stone oven pizza. Normally, I'd say my favorites would be with: - Salmon, Tomato & rocket(?)/rucola - Chicken, Corn, Pepper & Onions But I found myself to go "regular" lately...pepperoni & mushrooms or pepperoni & balsamic onions! Man, I love pizza! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 For me it's a great thin crust with a little air about it. No thick crust, not wafer thin. +1 Strangely enough, it's not the Italians who make the best pizza over here, but the Turkish! 3-4 minutes in the stone oven...perfect!

kgry Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 People do realize that not all Chicago pizza is deep dish right? You got thin crust, double dough, pan, deep dish and stuffed here. While I do occasionally like deep dish, I get thin crust way more often. The Chicago burbs has some great pizza places no one knows about.

horrorbusiness138 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I've never had Chicago style. It's on my bucket list. So good! If you ever make it to Chicago let me make some recommendations for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Antonio's Pizza out here in Western Mass is the undeniable tops. Except for when they smother a slice/pie in sour cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivannaJunction Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I've never been to Antonio's, but I will say that pizza in and around Springfield, MA is friggin' awesome. I really don't understand how it's not recognized as its own style of pizza (New York, New Haven, Chicago, Detroit, etc.). Its comparable to a brick oven/Italian style but the crust is thicker and its cut into squares (even when the pizza itself is circular). Also, a "small" is equivalent to a large in most other places. Anyways, my efforts to make pizza at home are fun, but they usually aren't as good as something you would order. My favorite ones to make at home are potato pizzas (because not a lot of places actually do them out in the suburbs where I am). i cheat a lot though. I buy dough (usually from Whole Foods but sometimes from pizza places around me) and I slice up the roasted potatoes from the deli case at Whole Foods for toppings. Here's a pic (I also put spinach on this one). Also, for all my earlier praise of Western MA pizza, my uncles think I'm absolutely batshit insane for thinking potatoes and/or spinach goes well on a pizza.

Potato on pizza is the jam, that's part of what makes The Buscemi at Pinky's so good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+hecollec+or Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Nirchi's & Pudgies in the Binghamton/Cortland area are pretty good. A little undercooked so you just gotta order them well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
