The best "classic" pizza I've ever had was at a little family owned joint about a two miles south of of Fullerton airport in SoCal. I guess other folks thought it was pretty good too since it wasn't uncommon to see pilots that had flown in from Edwards stopping by. So, here they were with pretty much anywhere in all of SoCal to get away from testing in the middle of the desert and they'd picked this place, which wasn't even all that close to the airport.

Mamma took the orders. She must have come straight off the boat after WWII. Papa and Junior worked the kitchen. Daughter (possibly daughter-in-law) worked the cash register.

Great place. Not really certain what you'd call the pizza except "awesome."

I have never heard of St Louis style pizza. But when I was down in Sebastian this past November I had pizza in Cocoa Beach at a little place called "Bizzaro's". Oh my gosh hands down best pizza ever. You would think you were in Italy.

Imo's is real good but, Arcobasso's at W. Florissant and Chambers Rd is the hands down best Italian food in St. Louis. The best pizza and fried ravioli, period!

Hard to beat pizza from New York or Boston but having grown up outside of Boston. I am partial to Captain Nemo's on Commonwealth ave just around the corner from Fenway Pahk. I haven't been there in years and i don't even know if it is still there. But in all my travels I still think it is the best pizza. IMHO

Myle's pizza in Bowling Green, Ohio...hands down it's the best.

That is, second to the 'zas my Mom used to make. I still can't duplicate what she did :(

If you're ever in the area, it's quite worth checkin' out!!!

I don't want to make all the decisions because if I screw up, then I can't blame it on you...

Nice,,,thanx. Seems New Yorkers claim their Pizza is the best, yet it seems in my travels non-New Yorkers don't seem to rave about it yet are crazy for everyone elses Pizza,,,hhhmmm interesting...



On many visits to NYC while growing up and in college I never thought a whole lot of NYC pizza. I moved there and became accustomed to it and have rarely been happy with a slice of pizza since I moved away.

Had some amazing pizzas elsewhere, but for just grabbing a slice on the way home nothing beats it!

If you're ever in Mexico City, steer clear of the Shakey's Pizza, if it is still there. Was across from the main rail station. The worst pizza I have ever had.

I did work as a pizza cook at a Happy Joes Pizza for about a year back in High School (St.Louis).

Yep New York pizza. The thing about living in NYC is you often eat at a new pizza joint every other week, and compare each to the last. I miss being able to go to the nearest pizza place knowing I can get a slice, or a chicken roll, or some garlic knots, or whatever unique bread, cheese, pepperoni concoction that place has on their menu.

Also, notice how there are so many "New York Style" pizza places in every other city in the US... pretty much says it all.


**ETA: If Anyone is ever in or near Fargo, ND you MUST go to Duane's House of Pizza, it is probably the best pizza I have ever had... and I too have eaten pizza in and throughout Italy. Burn this to memory you will thank me some day.**

The best pizza I've ever had is from a small family place called Reginas outside of Wash. D.C. When they first opened in '77, they had to hire translators to get from Sicilian Italian to English. I am a pizza junkie and have never been able to reproduce it or had anything else ever come close. Man, I miss that place. I haven't lived in the D.C. area for 27 years, so I don't know if it's still open. Given the way the area deteriorated in the early 90's, I'd bet not.
