Serious Eats: othafa9's Profile

Don't fault the pizzaiolo for the soft crust, that's what that type of pizza is supposed to be! Also, why should a pizzeria give complementary bread? Pizza is bread!

Have you ever been to Settebello in Las Vegas? It may be heresy but I found it superior to Bianco and Grimaldi's. I've had very good pizza at Grimaldi's but they are incredibly inconsistant. I've had 1 star and 5 star pizzas there.

Labriola Bakery Cafe: Bridging the Short Gap from Master Breadsmith to Pizzaiolo

I love when people just make their pizza 12 inches and call it Neapolitan.

Gran Gusto in Cambridge, Mass.: As Neapolitan As It Gets

It seems that they just attach the word "Neapolitan" to any 12 inch pizza anymore.

Delancey: Seattle's Great Pizza Hope

"I've learned that great pizza in Seattle is about as hard to come by as bad pizza in New York." I almost stopped reading at this point....their is ALOT of bad pizza in New York....ALOT. For every DiFara, Luzzo's, Patsy's, etc... their are 20 bad places. I think Seattle might be one of the better pizza places in the country, maybe top 3 with Delancey, Pucinella, Picolino, Serious Pie, A bunch of Via Tribunali, and Tutta Bella. I think maybe the strongest pizza city on the west coast....including overrated San Francisco.

Tony's Pizza Napoletana: Pizza Paradise in SF

Am I the only one that thinks that pizza doesn't look very neapolitan...speaking only about the crust anyway. It looks like a crispy NY pie, made to the size of a neapolitan pie, with toppings in the Naples style.

Ed Levine Went to Gialina Pizzeria, and All Slice Got Was a Lousy Google Alert

I had a margherita at Delfina a few weeks back, and I also didn't enjoy it too much, in fact both pizza's I had in SF (Delfina and Flour+Water) were subpar. I did however recreate Delfina's Panna pizza recently and it was solid. Next time I go I'll order that one.

Reactions to the 'GQ' Top 25 Pizza List

Just got back from SF, and had Pizzeria Delfina. It was pretty awful, I don't know how it could possibly make this list. There are plenty others more deserving and this one is at number 3!

Dear Slice: Two More Frank Pepe's

Not "Neapolitan Pizza", never was. Curious how the "neapolitan" became "neopolitan" or is it 2 different things?

Brooklyn Grimaldi's vs. Texas Grimaldi's

We have one of these Grimaldi's in Las Vegas, they do char their pizza. They are alittle inconsistant, but overall its by far the best NY style pizza in Vegas, and it is comparable to the top NY pizzas anywhere. I've heard people say they liked it better than the one in Brooklyn. Go figure. Easily the 2nd best overall pizza in Vegas outside of "Settebello" which is one of the premier Neapolitan style places in the US.
