Favorite Pizza Joint (includes corporate brand)

[Justin24]

Well for me it has to be Giovanni's Pizza in San Francisco. The Pizza is delicious. Made from scratch. The owners are sweet. Greek owners in their 70's who will let you pay later if you are short a few bills. People actually come back and pay because they always tell them they trust people. They will sometimes give you free greek salad to go along with your meal. In the Outer Mission Street in San Francisco.

The owners of this little famly style restrant are so welcoming and friendly, the service was excelent but most of all the food was so tasty the pizza was crispy on the bottom with mouth watering topping, my wife ordered pasta which was cooked to perfection with a homeade meat sauce seasoned very well. A little crowded so you might want to go early or make reservations.

You haven't had real pizza until you've had theirs.

Oh, how I miss Chicago...

 

[Liesje]

Giordano's in Chicago - eat there every time, though the worst service I've ever had was there)

Andreea's Pizza locally - "Grand Rapids' best kept secret!"

Papa John's because my school/work gets a special deal from one of the local joints, and I love the garlic dipping sauce

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Pizza The Hut??!!

 

[ylimeU2]

Kingy's Pizza in Canal Winchester, Ohio (outside of Columbus). I grew up on this stuff and everytime I go home, I make sure to stop by and stuff myself. It is still the most incredible pizza I've ever had.

I had the worst pizza last week, which was supposed to be the best pizza in town at Armand's (Tenleytown). I got so sick, I couldn't eat a full meal until 2 days later. Now I'm afraid to even look at cheese.

 

[Blue Room]

Beggars Pizza in Chicago, best pizza I have ever had.

Locally it would be a place call Mineos in Byron Center MI and for local chain thats close to my home it would be BC Pizza or Vitale's in Ada MI.

 

[I'm Ready]

Papa Dells (not a chain)

located on the university of Illinois campus, it was the best pizza I've ever tasted

Best pizza ever= chicago


ginos

 

[angelordevil]

I pretty much love all pizza, except for the places that pass off huge slabs of dough as pizza. This is unacceptable.

Does anyone remember when McDonald's in Canada had pizza? I ate a full one years ago...memories.

I'd have to say Pizza Hut is the best I've had.

California Pizza Kitchen

LOVE them. The Thai pizza ... the Tostada pizza! Oh, yum.

My favorite non-chain pizza restaurant is The Pizza Place in North Bend, WA. It's a Chicago-style place, and the best pizza is the pizza where it's crust, filling, crust on top as well, and the sauce comes on the side.

SO. GOOD.

I also think Papa Murphy's does a really good job with the take-and-bake thing. Cheap pizza, tastes great.

 

[Bono's Betty]

I worked at Boston Pizza for a couple years, it's pretty good pizza. We have a local pizza place called Gondolla Pizza and thats my fav.

 

[Got Philk?]

or

Absolutely! I am kidding! But I do eat them....



Around here, I like Big Bob's Pizza, and the ones Lies mentioned.

And I can Giordanno's any day in Chicago.

 

[snowbunny00774]

Giordano's in Chicago


Chain - pizza pizza, not absolutely the best, but I like the range of toppings.

 

[U2Bama]

In the Birmingham (Alabama) area:

Traditional/thin crust: Jim Davenport's Pizza Palace, Mountain Brook
Chicago Style: Tortuga's, Hoover or Pelham
Buffet: Pizza Pro (I think they are out of Georgia; it features dessert pizzas at the end)

Chain: Papa John's

In New York, I had some very good take-out "New York style" pizza from a hole-in-the-wall chain that's all over Manhattan (NOT Sbarro's), and a small, family-owned sit-down pizza restaurant chain on Long Island, complete with draft beer; I can't remember the names of either of those.

Frozen: Digiorno or Tombstone

Buca Di Beppo (all over the U.S.)

I love that place! We have yet to order pizza there though. We should go check it out.

 

[U2Girl416]

used to eat Giordano's frequently but then a story about rat feces surfaced and I haven't been back. I know that doesn't apply to all the restaurants in the chain, but still haven't been back.

Gino's is good, haven't had that in a while.
love Home Run Inn pizza as well.

surprisingly, I'm not a huge fan of deep dish, but since I wasn't born or raised here, I'm used to the thin crust back on the east coast (in triangles and not squares!)

if I remember correctly there was a really good pizza place on Long Island, called La Piazza. don't remember where exactly it was though. I used to visit Plainview a lot, so it was around there I think.

as far as chains go, I was a big fan of Papa John's cheese/garlic breadstick things, dipped in the garlic butter sauce but of course we don't have Papa John's in the local area anymore

I think I still have plenty of pizza places to try here in Chicago. don't think I've scratched the surface at all!
