This is the best pizza I've ever had. Napoletani style pizza with the best ingredients flown in from Naples.

http://www.anticopizza.it/

The dough is insanely good and only made in small batches so they routinely run out by 9 or 10.

It's BYOB which is nice and you eat in their kitchen where they have the 3 handmade ovens that they commissioned in Naples.

I know the Italians prefer thin crust with few toppings, and highlight thev sauce...and their pizza basically looks very little like American-style pizza....

But me, I LOVE a thick, substantial crust...not to hard or too soft..slightly chewy. And LOTS of toppings and cheese. Pour it on! Broccolli, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, good sausage, a few diferent cheeses, and good seasonings....yes pesto is good too.

Something like this:

Hard to complain about pizza as long as it's well-made. I think simpler is better, and prefer to stay away from weird toppings like barbecued chicken or scallops.

I'm thinking poutine would have been a better bet.

Settebello

How does being a hillbilly make you more averse to hipsters? Christ man, keep your head down and concentrate on stuffing your face with pizza and beer. :D

"Appalachian American", heh.

Listen to the man, jimmy, he knows hillbilly.

^^^
Settebello kicks ass. Check out the "quatro stag...." Last time I was there it wasn't on the menu, but it was still in the computer.

Thin crust coal (or wood) burning place.

Best pizza in NJ
Brooklyn's Coal-Burning Brick-Oven Pizzeria in Hackensack makes a great pie. Order it plain. No need for toppings on a perfect pie. They are related to the original Patsy's.

I've had Greek pizza a few times. I like the different spices.

#1 for me is a true New Haven style, like Pepe's or Sally's. Pick it up, no fold (cause the pieces aren't usually wide enough).

#2 is a really good neopolitan, with the little blistered spots on the crust that show the oven was running around 1000 degrees. (Basta and Locale in Boulder have a solid version when at their best; Pizzeria Bianco in Arizona is the archetype in the US; and apparently Motorino in NYC is the balls as well, though I haven't tried it yet.) Fork and knife, usually not cut into slices.

#3 is Italian bakery pizza, the kind you get out of a window in the back of... an Italian bakery, duh. Micucci's in Portland, Maine is a good one. Eat out of hands sitting on the front steps.

(Greek style is really greasy and usually uses cheddar cheese along with the mozz. Any place in New England that calls itself a "House of Pizza" is probably Greek.)

No love for Ricetta's or Amato's?

If you like Settebello, try Vinto as well. I personally like it a bit better, and the atmosphere is pretty cool. Heard they're getting a Settebello in Boise which I'm excited about.

My favorite place is some hole in the wall in the upper east side near my buddy's apartment. 1 slice cheese, 1 slice pep. Done. I can never remember the name.

Drunk pizza is always a favorite as well. On that front a few of the "Jumbo Slice" places in Adam's Morgan in DC are far and away the best black out eats.

Attachment 122365Pulled Pork Pizza.
Home made dough. Sweet Baby Ray's for sauce. Cheddar/Jack cheese. A heaping helping of the local pulled pork goodness. Add mushrooms, pineapple slices, black olives, jalepenas, mushrooms and red onion. I have a great picture of one, but I'm too stupid to upload it. Well, maybe not.

That sounds terrible.
No offense.

I've had that style pie, and I will say I was pleasantly surprised. Nice work.

Nope, not really. Been a while, though. I do have a soft spot for Pizza Joint; grew up on their extra-crust, extra-cheese, pepperoni pies, which are doughy, fatty heaven. Best day-after-from-the-fridge pizza, too because it doesn't dry out (thanks to the tons of dough and cheese).

My wood stove kills it. But 3 is the max for one set of coals from cherry wood. After three I have to place more wood and let the flames die.

Thin crust, few thin toppings, 5 minutes a pie = the best pizza in town. (Which isn't saying much- it's Japan.)

Delfina? Boot and Shoe? Una? Tony's? Flour + Water? Pizzeria Mozza? Nothing??

I'll have to look further. We haven't tried THAT hard, to be honest, but even Little Star was meh.

New york style, I grew up down the road from Alfredo's in Westbury and it was hard to beat. I'd probably pass 4 or 5 pizza places in two miles but We'd always go there.

i'll fork and knife the first bites when it's really warm and I can't keep the cheese on the end when picking it up, but after that it's hand held.

Living in New Haven has been great for pizza eating.

Six years in New Haven... Modern/Pepe's/Sally's...I've never found pizza that I've enjoyed more. Every Friday night... drunk and ravenous at Modern (too hungry to wait at Pepe's and too long a walk).

Too damn easy. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

For fuck's sake, I hope you choke on a mushroom - just get over yourself already. My wife's been veggie to >30 years, but she doesn't need to be a douche ALL the time

This is correct. Those three form the triumverate, with (of course), the white clam and bacon (extra garlic) being the ultimate, but my taste goes to a half pepperoni / onion, and half bacon (fu DBS). Everything is right with the world.

There's also a place in Waste Haven (forget the name) that's superb.

Like I said fish in a barrel.

Some more delicious pizza stoke:

http://www.cabaretsquidoo.com/wp-con...6804244fb2.jpg

Except, what are those orange-colored slices? Carrots???? I love carrots, but no carrots on pizza...PLEASE.

Or is it salmon?...ditto for fish. I love salmon, but please, no fish on pizza, including salmon. I don't even like anchovies on my pies.

And GAHHH, WHAT is that in the lower center, resting on that sliced roma tomato...is that part of a sardine??????? A herring bit???

Haha, grew up in Wastebury, remember going to that place a few times, though their were several places closer to me that I'd go to way more often. Growing up on LI I took pizza for granted, didn't realize how bad some places have it.

mmmmm, anchovies

I don't think there were many (any) bad pizza places around Westbury before the days of Pizza Hut or Dominos, even the cheap places were good. I didn't think it was possible to screw up a pizza until I moved to the west coast.

It's not "fish in a barrel" if you were going to say it anyways. It's called being obnoxious. Fish in a barrel would be saying something you weren't going to say with the sole reason to get a reaction. I have no doubt you will keep making this remark in every thread about food only because you want to show us all how vegetarian you are, not so we can keep calling you a dumbshit. And if you are doing it so we can call you a dumbshit, well dude, you need some therapy.

The only reason I said it was for reaction which I obviously got dipshit.

Seriously, why cunt up this discussion of great pizza? Can't you go troll epicski or something? There are plenty of excellent vegetarian pizzas out there - why not contribute to the thread instead of just annoying everyone?

Sadly Rays is no more. They closed up shop a while back. The old man had been spinnin' 'zas there for 41 years and just got tired of working so he bailed. The new owner is a good guy and a few of the crew stayed on. It's still top notch but it's just not the same. It's still my go to spot because it's two blocks from work and it's still the best in the neighborhood but...

Totonno's at Coney Island in Brooklyn, NY. Best I've ever had.

http://www.yelp.com/biz/totonnos-brooklyn

^^ That place was amazing. I haven't been there for 15+ years. Is the same old guy still making the pies? Does he still run out of pizza mid day?

Man I just finished eating some of my favorite from here in Mass. Pizza Corner. Fucking' legendary. Twice baked crust so it's always crispity crunchity, even in the middle. Goddam I love this pizza.
