Upstart Newark Pizza Truck Actually Cooking Pizza in Truck
In the late 1950's until early 1960's when i was a kid in Franklin Square there was an old white converted school bus owned by an Italian guy with a heavy accent that came around every Tuesday. He had a full pizza oven and made the pizza's in ther spot fresh. He would often make a couple of pies and drive in the neighborhood as they cooked and honk his special horn so you knew he was around. The pizza was super, and most weeks my mom would give me the money and i would go out and buy one. The smell from the truck was fantastic, and you could sometimes smell it a couple of blocks away which was another way you knew he was coming.

The only places i am not familiar with are Rosso and Gialina, will try them soon.
I agree with all of Ed's comments on the ommissions, none belong on the list. Also Pauline's, good but no way on the best list. I am surprised Ed did not even mention Amici's.
Picco is very good, flatbread style, belongs on the list. To have Goia on there and not Amici's makes no sense. In fact, no matter how you slice it, anyone who leave Amici's off the list has no idea what they are talking about. Bauer has good taste buds.......but is not savvy when it comes to pizza.
Pizzaiolo definitely belongs on the list, leaving A18 off is hard to understand.
I have been a pizzaiolo student for 43 years, my pizza consists of "00" flour, san marzano's, bufala or fior d'latte.........the finest ingredients..........i am a master at dough and pizza making.........yet i always marvel at the consistent quality with that brick oven char and the wonderful NY/East coast style pizza they have achieved. They should have been on the list!
