Daily Slice: Vinnie's Pizza Quesadilla Slice, Williamsburg, Brooklyn
When I was living in SF I dated a woman from Dubuque, and she and many of her peers would swear by Taco Pizza, the top of the heap being those from Happy Joes.
I did venture out there with her once, and I must say, despite me being a bit of a purist and even more of a snob, it was delicious. Crap, now I want one.
Searching for London's Best Pizza
Without a doubt the best pizza in London...I've searched high and low, and this absolute gem opened this Spring less than 3 miles from my house! Sweet.
The 'dough consultant' for Franco Manca regularly posts on a pizza making forum that I frequent -- the starter he supplied for them is over 200 years old from Ischia.
My poor prose won't do the restaurant justice, so I'd just have to concur w/ everything in the Bloomberg article. Some of my photos plus other people's reviews are at: http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6371.40.html
Went again last week, took 3 people with me (I think I've introduced about 20 people to it in total). Yum.

@Lobelia -- "obsessively insane?" Are you aware of what website you are reading and commenting on? It's about one food -- pizza. Why on earth would it be such a shock to discover that people are discussing the finer points, intricacies, etc. of pizza making in all its glory?
For many of us, the experimentation, testing and indeed obsessing about pizza is actually fun. I strongly suggest you never ever spend a minute on the pizzamaking.com forum, or your keyboard will break in its struggle to keep up with your lambasting of virtually every topic on there.
Ah yes, thanks to the posting history, it's quite clear that you are more than happy to wade in on all sorts of topics with your negative points, be they one small nugget of bitterness or a full-blown diatribe on whatever it is that's currently pissing you off. Life's too short.
Back on topic, I've tried the screen/stone method a few times with mixed results, but will give the parchment on the stone a go this week.
