As long as it doesn't have meat, I'm happy.
Too damn easy. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

Neopolitan is it,oven has to be between 900-1000 degrees to cook the crust properly.
Calmer than you dude
stromboli from flying pie in portland. done deal.
Thai Pie from Galactic in Minneapolis...it haunts me
Any Neapolitan pie made to vpn standards...my most snobbish food trait i'd say
Thin, coal-fired oven, real mozzarella (pepperoni when I ate meat), occasionally mushrooms.
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.
NY Style: Extra Cheese, Sausage, Mushroom (lite sauce if possible)
Neapolitan: Margherita
White: EVOO, Ricotta, mozzarella, roasted Garlic, Carmelized Onion, Sausage
I just don't like Chicago style deep dish pizza. It's like Lasagna with dough rather than Noodles.
It's hard to find a truly good pizza around here. The Greek places make the best pizza near my neighborhood but I yearn for a real paper-thin crust with a zesty marinara type sauce, quality pepperoni and real mozz.
Someone probably makes something like that in this city but I'm too lazy to drive all over looking for it.
And really, no one component is key - a great crust with inadequate sauce/toppings isn't all that great.

thin with a small amount of goat cheese, capers, onions and arugula.
if you haven't tried that at wood-oven pizzeria then you're missing out.
Lately, I have become extremely frustrated with all of my local pizza joints sauces. Sauce can make or break a pie for me. I can respect a bright, fresh tomato sauce but for me, I dig a thick sauce with depth of flavor. My pies don't need to be drowning in sauce but its gotta be a focal point and add flavor.
My home sauce I keep on hand:
Canned tomatoes
Tomato paste
Yellow and white onions
Garlic
Dried oregano
Fresh thyme
Salt
Pepper
Chili flakes
Small amt of a decent balsamic
Sweat onions. Add oregano and garlic and sweat for a min or so. Add t paste to the pot and cook, stirring every couple minutes until the t paste deepens in color and the brightness in flavor becomes more subtitle. Throw the balsamic in followed by the canned tomatoes, thyme, and chili flakes. Reduce til nice and thick. Re-season as necessary. Add fresh oregano. Let cool and blend it up.

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

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 still call it The Jake.
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.

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.
