OMG where to begin. That is why I started www.worstpizza.com because I couldn't believe how many crappy places are out there. One that comes to mind was at a place in downtown Orlando. It was so putrid I threw it out and spit my first bite out!

Meredith,

Since my site is based out of South Florida I feel pretty strongly about the pizza down here. I personally wouldn't go to Rustica given the other choices in the area. For $4.00 a slice, I feel completely ripped off. We have had pizza at almost every Pizza Rustica location, and felt the same way as you do. Stick with the plain pie and avoid the mess of toppings, since they are runny and usually not the freshest.

When in South Beach you are better off grabbing a slice at Gino's

Guys it is simple to figure out why Florida gets such a bad pizza name! Just look at some of the places listed above as the best? As the founder of worstpizza.com, I can assure you that many of the above mentioned locations are garbage and I myself would think Florida has disgusting pizza if I went to try some of them based upon the recommendations of reviewers who seem forced to say local places are the best!

1. Squiggy's, although they have a great slice, they just filmed two porn films there while open, behind the counter, and unless they fumigate the place, I am never going back http://www.worstpizza.com/2010/09/pizza-and-porn-ok-in-the-dorm-not-ok-at-the-restaurant/

2. Anthony's wouldn't last a week in NY, it is never cooked right, and the taste is average at best. If they didn't have the radio and Dan Marino promoting them, nobody would waste their time.

3. I could go on and on about many others, but trust me, stick to my choices instead of some of the others, to avoid disappointment. I agree Sosta is good, but at $4 a soda, I am not going.

And to the commenter who said Mellow Mushroom was good, I suggest you try a real pizza place, since I wouldn't let my dog eat theirs!

This was an absolutely amazing post! Wish I had done this at my site, and I salute you for this

Love that oven!

I have never been to St. Louis but hear so many amazing things about this city being a pizza city. Sorry I haven't been on the comment boards so much, but hope to be back regularly.

Thanks Pizzablogger! She was very easy to speak with and made it a comfortable situation. Besides....could it get more comfortable for me then to be in a Pizza Place doing an interview!

Where would you get a name like that? Flying Squirrel? Why not Jumping Hippo or something?

Not only did it looks disgusting adam, it tasted absolutely gross! Shame on them for passing it off as quality pizza.

Lapp

maybe he should paint a big X across the photo and say $5

He is late to us! We have been on this mission for a long long time, and not just in NYC

Adam during our trip to see you, we were going to this place prior to la villa, but the number they have listed was wrong on google and we didn't even take the chance to see if they were still open and opted for lucali instead. This pizza looks awful, and although they might be busy, it might be because people just have no taste buds anymore! Stick to South Brooklyn Pizza folks

Not sure we have even ever had one of our reviewers eat Pizza, let alone travel to Alaska!
