Dear Slice: 'You Missed the Best in Bay Area Pizza'
Listen up fruitcake, you sound like a complete moron. You're probably one of those people that likes the California Pizza Kitchen. I think all that legal weed has gone to your small brain. Quiet down, stay in, and enjoy your delivery!
Great Lake Is Great Shakes: The Windy City Finally Has Great Pizza to Call Its Own
If I hadn't come from Philly to eat in Chicago I may have gave a crap that the wait was two hours. But I think the real difference is how bad you want something. Did you ever wait for six hours to get concert tickets? I never complained about that, and that is far more uncomfortable than drinking great beer down the street at Hopleaf.
These people do come off slightly arrogant in the way they run the show, but the pizza is perfect. It was more inspiring than any pizza I've eaten in NYC(except Di Fara). They are baking pizza with the best ingredients and the results are really something of beauty.
I can't wait to go back!

'Eat to Blog' Makes Trip to Maria's Pizza
I have no idea why you guys like this place. I'm stunned.
'Eat to Blog' Makes Trip to Maria's Pizza
I went to Maria's on July 4th. It's a wonderful place if you're not eating. It was the worst pizza that I've ever eaten. Not try to slam these old folks, but the ingredients were of the lowest common denominator. It was crusty and dirty just like DiFara without the flavor. Do yourself a favor next time your in Milwaukee, call Little Caesars.
'The Best Thing I Ever Ate' Pizza Episode
Just went to Bianco on Thursday and Friday. Have to agree with JTE about the Rosa, it almost reminded me of DiFara's margherita, luscious and cheesy. The other favorite was the biancoverde, ricotta, fresh mozz, parm, and micro arugala. We added prosciutto. So rich!

That's That: Una Pizza Napoletana Is But a Memory as Mangieri Packs It in for SF
Anthony, please go to California. Get out while you can. It's a much more open place than NYC, for better or worse. I think life is much more beautiful(naturally) in Calif. I know I live in Philly, but the East Coast is so hard. Go now
A Mini San Francisco Pizza Jaunt: Does Alan Richman Know His Bay Area Pizza?
Just went to Great Lake on Saturday. It was clinical, sterile, Alice Waters fresh, pretentious, and delicious. Pretty chi-chi. Never seen anything like it. I'm still contemplating my experience.
Had the mortadella pie with, green garlic, fresh cream, and mona cheese. Everything looked like it was plucked from the farm same day. There were only three pies. The crust/crumb was as good as any I've tasted.
Long waits, pricey pies, totally worth it. My top 5.

Pizzeria Boom Actually Harming New York Pizza as We Know It, Newsweek Says
I never had a better slice in NY than DiFara's. I'd rather go to Totonno's or Spumoni Gardens than any Co. or Tonda. It may be in trouble of loosing support by foodie/yuppie types, but so what, who cares?

Dear Slice: 'Food Detectives' Investigates Claim That Water Makes NYC Pizza Great
anyone who knows anything about baking, knows that water has little to do with the end result, unless you're using really crappy water. it's similiar with beer. the main difference is the different salt and nutrient levels of each. if you really want to, you can replicate any water in the world. it's still one of those stupid arguments about why this is better than that. if you look closer at the situation you'll find that any average establishment in nyc for example has more experience with taste and baking than some pizza shop in nebraska. that is the real difference.
An Evening with Paulie Gee, Pizza Madman
to be honest paulie, i choose johns roast pork. it's only open from six to two, monday through friday, but dinics and luke do it right. it's a far superior sandwich than the crappy cheesesteak.
An Evening with Paulie Gee, Pizza Madman
Yo Paulie,
Just gave my two weeks at the South Philly Taproom. Going to live with my brother for the summer in Madison, WI. Got a job at Pizza Brutta. Derek is going to show me the ropes for three and a half months. They make their own mozz., source local ingredients, and have a beautiful wood-fired oven that cooks pies at around 850F. The pizzas are more righteous than anything in Philly. Will post some pics in late May.
Over and out, Moe

Yo Leslie,
Definitely go with Dansko's. I have a bad back and was recommended these shoes a few years ago by nurses and doctors, and let me tell you, they have been a godsend while standing for twelve hour shifts. Your feet are probably going to feel a little tired, but that's what insoles are for.
On a side note, I just left my job to work in the pizza business. Pizza Brutta in Madison, WI. I always wanted to learn the wood-fired oven method, and make fresh mozzarella.
Good luck, Joe

Leftovers: The Day's Stray Links
There is a pizzeria in Philly called Slice too. A lot of people like it, but it's not NY good. Things are tough all over(regarding pizza), in this town.
Dear Slice: 'You Missed the Best in Bay Area Pizza'
I agree with you wordksi but who are you correcting? All I see are responses to a silly hyperbolic email none of which claim that NYC has the best pizza.
Dear Slice: 'You Missed the Best in Bay Area Pizza'
"I can't tell you how many people tell me NY pizza is the best but have never been to Chicago, San Francisco, Verona, or anywhere else for that matter. Try pizza all over the world THEN come back and tell me NY pizza is the best!!"
I haven't been ALL OVER the world and still have a lot of places to hit here in the U.S., but THE BEST pizza I've had yet has been in Phoenix.
Dear Slice: 'You Missed the Best in Bay Area Pizza'
I've been to over 200 pizza places this summer and I have to say NYC has some real bad pizza but the best that NY has is the best. Pizza outside of this area just looks and taste dif. Just the way it is. For the one or two great pizzas in other cites they have ten bad. With NY's moving and making pizza lets say in SF that will improve what that city has to offer.

Often the answer was "its the water used to make the dough"
I found it hillarious recently to hear the same BS argumentative theories between pizza makers in Naples.
Dear Slice: 'You Missed the Best in Bay Area Pizza'
Alright, lemme tell you somethin about NY pizza....it's some of the BEST pizza out there.
BUT,
That doesn't mean its THE BEST.
First of all, its an opinion so everyone's answer for the best pizza will differ...period.
I can't tell you how many people tell me NY pizza is the best but have never been to Chicago, San Francisco, Verona, or anywhere else for that matter. Try pizza all over the world THEN come back and tell me NY pizza is the best!! Give me some reasons why NY pizza is the best! Don't just say that it is.
Having lived there for a number of years this conversation would come up constantly. Often the answer was "its the water used to make the dough" Awesome. There's some substance to the answer, but why? Why is the water better? Because it comes from upstate? What's different about the water there than the water from the Sierra Nevadas? or Colorado Rockies?
I love NY pizza. Especially Emelio's and Lucali. Can't find pizza like that anywhere but NY. Just like Gino's East in Chicago, Zachary's in Berkely, and MellowMushroom in Atlanta.
My point is, New Yorkers are doing themselves harm by saying that NY pizza is the best because thats all they know or that it is just because it is.
Dear Slice: 'You Missed the Best in Bay Area Pizza'
Heh, I was mostly just joking. I'm sure Anthony has no problem badmouthing New York pizza under his own name :beer:
Dear Slice: 'You Missed the Best in Bay Area Pizza'
Revise- I can't believe.
Dear Slice: 'You Missed the Best in Bay Area Pizza'
I can believe Primanti's was mentioned in the same comment as DiFara. BTW- they do sell slices.
Dear Slice: 'You Missed the Best in Bay Area Pizza'
Sounds highly dubious..a Vallejo pizzeria thats bettter than that "tourist trap" DiFara...seriously now..Nevertheless, in the name of culinary investigation, I shall check out said pizza next month...cant wait..
Dear Slice: 'You Missed the Best in Bay Area Pizza'
@ratbuddy: Mangieri's place is Una Pizza Napoletana, not Napoli Pizza! And it's not open yet. Also: given the name and email address of the guy who wrote in, I don't think he's the owner or affiliated. (Cross-referenced it with the owner/staff page on Napoli Pizza's website.) I try to avoid running things that are shills on Slice, and though this has some of the signs of a shill, I took it to be legit. Especially in light of the posts I've been doing recently that have been mentioning the SF places I recetnly visited. Just figured it was someone upset that Slice hadn't covered his favorite place. Plus, I was more interested in his assertion that NYC pizza had gone downhill.

Alan Richman Names Top 25 Pizzas in the U.S.
I wanted to set the record straight about Richman's top 25. The following is a link to my full review of Osteria on my Philadelphia best pizza blog, one of the only two pizza joints from Philly to make it on this list. A little hint: I was very disappointed. Happy reading!

The 'Pizza Strip': Indigenous to Rhode Island
While in college, I had the glorious opportunity to eat the single BEST pizza I have ever eaten, and I mean I eat the whole thing, and thats a sheet pan pizza (you calling it pizza strip?) at Caserta's.
I don't know how they make this thing, but it is a PERFECT blend of crust, sauce and cheese. Its one of the best foods I have EVER eaten, ANYWHERE in the usa.

Chris Bianco is and always will be the Pontiff of Pizza...Why they went to Little Dom's for pizza in LA is a mystery...though i havent been there(Oops), Mozza would have been a better choice...even if you dont have a reservation, the Mozza 2 Go next door is a great place to pick up a pie or four and eat it while sittin on the hood of your car....

'The Best Thing I Ever Ate' Pizza Episode
Thanks to the Slicemeister's note about it re-airing yesterday, I recorded it and just watched it. I love Chris Bianco's line about all the goodness coming from the burnt ones. Is that guy the Pizza Yoda or what? @Karol I like the combination of post-oven arugula and shaved Reggiano very much, but sans the tomato sauce. I sprinkle on lemon juice along with the olive oil instead and it's always well received. I made one last night with Prosciutto di Parma under the arugula. It was definitely my favorite of the night.

Ah, yes.
Ed Levine. The pied piper of the "if you can't fold it like a taco it ain't pizza" knuckleheads. Scurries out of town with a backhanded compliment.
If you want to play cheerleader for a "great taste" "less filling" shout off at Yankee Stadium by all means - go right ahead.
Just leave the Windy City out of it so I don't have to suffer these comments every time I want to read about some great Chicago pizza.

Great Lake Is Great Shakes: The Windy City Finally Has Great Pizza to Call Its Own
@gaffer Thanks very much for the compliment. As far as waiting goes, I always use the excuse that I have to get moving on the next pie so I can grab a slice right away.
I had visited the old Fidh Piers Daily Catch location and didn't enjoy it nearly as much. The atmosphere in the 22 seater on Hanover Street is very unique. Boy do I miss that place. Last time I was there was the day in 2002 NBA playoffs when the Celtics came from 26 down in the fourth quarter to overtake the Nets. It was by far the most exciting sporting event I have ever attended. And I've been to a slew of Yankee post-season games.

Hey Pauli--
That's the problem with being a preeminent pizzaiolo. Your guests and family get to eat it your pizzas at their optimum. Right out of the brick oven. While you have to wait. I'm sure you get dig in right away some of the time but...
BTW I used to go Umberto a lot but that was back in 1983 when I worked near there. The Sicilian was bready and thin on top. So I dodged them but ate the calzones. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/154552
I always liked Santarpios with its easier parking but Regina's original in the North End was as good. I remember when Daily Catch started. The guy specialized in calamari and other squid dishes and had a hard time in the beginning. But then he took off and had a number of establishments.
Great Lake Is Great Shakes: The Windy City Finally Has Great Pizza to Call Its Own
I agree wholeheartedly about pizza dying. However most pizzerias would have to raise their prices considerably to make up for the lost revenue that takeout would have generated. Before customers in the dining get too upset, they should consider how much their pie would cost it they didn't do takeout.

In the deep-dish pizza city, thin seems to be in - U.S. business ...
Aug 28, 2009 ... "A pizza is always dying," explained Jonathan Goldsmith, who opened Spacca Napoli in 2006, and who neither delivers nor takes phone orders....."As soon as it is out of the oven it is meant to be eaten." ...... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32597742/ns/business-us_business/
"A pizza is always dying" is something I emphatically agree with. I would rather eat my homemade English muffin "pizza" red hot right out my toaster oven than to take Great Lake (or anyone's) pizza home and eat it lukewarm.
