Dear Slice: Una Pizza Napoletana Ain't All That
I also recently visited UPN for the first time due to all the talk on Slice about it. I wish I would have read about it more, the cost for 3 pies and 4 drinks was over $100! It was good but not worth the money...my friends that I brought to this place were mighty pissed they could not have sausage on their pie too. My fault for not reading into this place a little more.

I eat one of these a week: Bacon cheeseburger, lettuce, tomato, raw onion, pickles, ketchup, mayo and mustard. So F'in good! I used to be a huge fan of In n Out, would eat there a few times a week when I go to visit my parents in Arizona but when I discovered Five Guys, In n Out isn't as good as it used to be.
De Lorenzo's Tomato Pies, Redux
I grew up eating at both Hudson St & Hamilton Ave locations. I attribute eating this pie every Friday night with my parents for about 15+ years the main reason why I love pizza so much. I moved away from the area 5 years ago and have been on a quest to find a suitable replacement in my new area ( Philadelphia ) ever since. There are a few noteworthy pizzas but nothing comes close to De Lorenzo's, I still drive back on a monthly basis to get my fix. I made my way back to NJ this past weekend to try the pies at the new location. As the article said, the pies have remained unchanged despite the new digs. Top notch, one of the best pies in the country hands down...

Good Dog's Cheese-Stuffed Burger in Philadelphia
This burger also disappointed me too,, I'd rather sink my teeth into a Five Guys burger

Grimaldi's in Dallas–Fort Worth Area
I liked Bianco's, but I don't think the 5 people I dragged there liked waiting that long for pizza.
Grimaldi's in Dallas–Fort Worth Area
I've tried the pizza at the Scottsdale location a few times. Its damn good for being a chain pizzeria. Last time I was visiting the area, I went to Patsy Grimaldis and Pizzeria Bianco. Everyone I was with thought the pies at Grimaldi's were better than Pizzeria Bianco's.
Pizzeria Bianco: Long Wait, High Expectations
We tried to make a reservation as we had a party of six but we were told they were not taking any reservations until January.
Pizzeria Bianco: Long Wait, High Expectations
Brian sure knows his stuff, because he notes Trenton's DeLorenzo's pies as well as Di Fara and Patsy's -- those are my top three pies in the world (I am yet to try grimaldi's).
I have an April trip to Phoenix and I am gonna have to try this pie too.

UPN has always been spot on when I go, the only problem is it is too far across town for me to go as often as I'd like. Luckily, looks like I am maybe a month away from having Co. pizzas down the block from me. Hope it rocks too.
Dear Slice: Una Pizza Napoletana Ain't All That
And if you wanted toppings, you should have gone to Luzzo's! They have some nice, out of the ordinary ones.
Dear Slice: Una Pizza Napoletana Ain't All That
Due to the nature of the oven at UPN, you'll occasionally get some blisters of overcharring. It happens. Eh.
But the crust shouldn't be soggy. Not like some other places where they oversauce and the crust is too thin. If so, then something is wrong.
As for the toppings issue, I guess you should have looked at the menu online, huh?
Dear Slice: Una Pizza Napoletana Ain't All That
hey moesizlacks, plenty of us do get it. We've been to all the great places. A lot of us think UPN isn't up there with them. Quit comparing people not liking UPN to the people that prefer McDonalds. It reeks of food snobbishness.
Dear Slice: Una Pizza Napoletana Ain't All That
hey! everyone is entitled to their opinion, but i really think that most people don't "get" it. and i would never apologize for a superior pizza. it's ok if you grew up enjoying pizza hut. some people go to mcdonalds for hamburgers.
Dear Slice: Una Pizza Napoletana Ain't All That
go check out citysearch reviews on this place. This is nothing new.
Dear Slice: Una Pizza Napoletana Ain't All That
I'd love to see A.M. cook a Mama Celeste frozen pizza in his oven. Maybe Ed should bring one to the event.
Dear Slice: Una Pizza Napoletana Ain't All That
@ayyappan I agree about it losing something. And I've never found those East Side pies to be as good as the Coney Island original anyway. I can't imagine AM letting a Totonno's pie be cooked in his oven. And that wouldn't be authentic anyway. We'll see.
Ciao,

Dear Slice: Una Pizza Napoletana Ain't All That
I was there about a month ago and it was as delicious as ever. I've never been disappointed at Una.
Paulie Gee - I was wondering about that Totonno's pie myself. I mean maybe it could work if it was one of the Manhattan branches and you rushed them down to Una by cab, but even then you lose something.
Dear Slice: Una Pizza Napoletana Ain't All That
@Ed Levine Don't worry, I'm not gonna ask for my $85 back. I'm still tryin' to figure out though how you are gonna serve Totonno's pizza at UPN. You gotta eat that stuff right out of the oven. I'm also interested to see if the tatooed uber pizzaiolo will tell me that the pizza oven I built on my property ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/pauliegee/sets/72157603296443911/ ) is my version of a midlife crisis Harley.
Ciao,

Going to a place you've never been before with a group is always a mistake. As for my girlfriend and me, we went to Una Pizza a few weeks ago and it was divine. Perfect blend of everything. Definitely didn't miss the toppings! Though I will say that Franny's in Brooklyn (thanks, Adam, for the recommendation!) gives Mr. Mangieri a run for his money.

I too am shocked by these reports, cybercita. I am hosting an event there next Saturday, and I am counting on UPN to deliver the goods, pizza-wise. I have eaten there 20 times at least in the past, and it has always been great.
Dear Slice: Una Pizza Napoletana Ain't All That
I went to Una Pizza a couple of weeks ago and the crust was insanely thick. Delicious, as always, but just way too thick. Out of character.
Killer Five Guys topping combos?
@hotdoglover: I hear ya. It was by chance I had the Hot Dog. As delicious as it is, I really don't think I can pass up the burgers and fries also. Love those Cajun Fries. I keep on saying that combo is best out there, and yet, I am still ridiculed. I just look at it as their loss. I think they put crack or something in the burgers. They are too darn good!! Almost went there last night since we were talking about it, but made Shrimp Scampi instead. Bought some shrimp and had to cook it up...

Butrflygirly,
As much as I love hot dogs (I write about them and lead a yearly Hot Dog Tour in N.J.) I've only had the hot dog at Five Guys once or twice. And it's a quality hot dog, easily better than what you get at your average hot dog joint here in N.J. Which is saying a lot. They split and grill a tasty Hebrew National frank. But I can't pass up the burger and fries. Since a Five Guys opened in my town, I go there often, probably too often. I hate onions, but have tried many different topping combinations. All of the toppings are good, but my favorite is ketchup, mayo, pickles, and lettuce. That's the only way I get them now.
I don't know if there is a secret ingredient in these burgers because they are so addictive. And it's not that there is a lack of choices. There is an abundance of good burger joints in my area.

Not only do they have good burgers, I tried their Bacon Cheese Hot Dog. WOW. Never thought I would have liked it-always thought there was too much goin on-but it's good. I'll have mine with Ketchup.
@hotdoglover: Glad I am not the only one. My BF thinks I am crazy for the combo. I tell him he doesn't know what good is. :)
Killer Five Guys topping combos?
Double w/ grilled onions, pickles, mustard/ketchup. done and done.
Killer Five Guys topping combos?
NEVER ketchup. My opinion is that it's for fries/rings/children.
Double w/cheese, raw onion, pickles, lettuce, tomato, mustard. Classic.
Killer Five Guys topping combos?
Cheeseburger (or little cheeseburger) with tomatoes, pickles and ketchup. Sometimes onions.
In general do like lettuce on my burgers, but Five Guys' iceburg lettuce is always disappointing.
Killer Five Guys topping combos?
I order two double burgers.
Both with mustard, ketchup, mayo and pickles.
One w/ fried onions.
One w/ raw onions.
Regular fries w/ the malt vinegar.
Five Guy's rocks. I must have one today. Good thing there are two locations within a half hour from me. Not too far, not too close. Otherwise, I might be on Lipitor.
BTW, 2009 should be the year of the burger. Let us make it so.
Killer Five Guys topping combos?
Not exactly killer, but I always go with the Cheeseburger or Little Cheeseburger with ketchup, mayo, pickles, raw onions and lettuce. And the regular fries.
Now if only they had shakes...

Five Guys opened their first restaurant/burger "parlor" in Alexandria, Virginia. I believe they are an excellent franchise opportunity for anyone looking to be a small business owner. There is a Five Guys at Reagon National Airport! I am not surprised that their franchise business has taken off the way it has. Make my burger with mustard, onions and pickles!!!

Best Pie On Earth.
I keep searching to see if any are equal or better; none yet.
To be fair, I've yet to try Taconelli's in Port Richmond.
