I got a free coupon for some Dominoes pizza. I hate saying this but that crap isn't even worth the free coupon. Man that was some bad **** We are lucky here to have even good chain pizza joints. The Mom & Pop joints are fantastic. We have good pizza here. Some of the best in the country. No excuses for eating that Dominoes crap. How do they stay in business? .....jdcamb

Not sure. There were people at work today talking about how great Papa John's is. :blah:

Anyone who has ever been to New York knows what good pizza is all about. I always wondered why just about ever corner in NYC has good pies, but most areas just can't figure it out. :confused:

hmm, not as bad as the time my gf made pizza for her and her dad and forgot to throw away the cardboard piece...they both got sick. damn shame: a woman who can't cook..tsk tsk.

I know what you mean. I have yet to find anything good here in Maryland, but it'll soon be over. I'm starting college in NYC next fall! :drool:

Echo · Jan 6, 2005

You should try Rhino's Pizza in Webster down by the big X. Man they got some quality pie there :drool:

I'll definitely do that. Thanks for the tip!
I'm going to get so fat... better get a smaller freewheel for the urban bike! :dancing:

EDIT: That's even closer than I thought! It's just diagonal across central park. Looks like I'll bike it some day, once I'm familiar with what neighborhoods I need to keep away from.

I hope real Chicago pizza is better than that Pizzeria Uno crap :think:

johnbryanpeters · Jan 6, 2005

Most of the pizza over here is thick crust junk. :dead:

Vermont Flatbreads is a notable exception (thin crust, wood fired oven), and there's a new joint in Winooski that advertises New York style pizza - I have to risk poisoning and try it.

mack · Jan 6, 2005

ppphhhh, i used to live in New Haven Ct, where pizza was invented sucka. Pepe's pizza has a 40 min wait on week nights, and valet parking...

And pretty much all of the pizza in new haven is great, cept there is one dominos in the ghetto. :rolleyes:

if they use good dough, and good sauce, thin curst and fired in a reall pizza oven, then there hard to screw up, but plenty have done it.

HRDTLBRO · Jan 6, 2005

We have a joint called Pazzo's, it kicks ass. Some of the best Pizza and Pesto bread ever.

Thick crust pizza isn't pizza, it's bread. :dead:

RideND · Jan 6, 2005

When we went biking in Bozeman this summer, this place had some pretty good pizza. MacKenzie River Pizza But I will say that I haven't had too many pizzas outside of the chain joints. I still eat it like crazy though.

You don't like Pizzeria Uno? Their Deep dish pepperoni is my favorite.

Jr_Bullit · Jan 6, 2005

Papa Murphy's takenbake - you gotta have an oven (so no good for the college types), but they're HUGE, Tasty, fresh, loaded, and not bad on the wallet.

I got a large chicago stuffed the other day for $9.99 (btw - for you who don't know what papa murphy's is or the size of their pizza's...the medium is bigger than the dominoes/pizza hut/papa john's large).

We had to eat that bad boy with a fork it was so loaded.

My all time favorite though is the papa murphy's gourmet vegetarian thin crust. Mmmmhmmmm....

Jr_Bullit · Jan 6, 2005

although - gotta be honest, my two visits to NYC both required visits to the corner pizza place...walking around in the wintertime with a piece of pie folded in half and grease dripping down your chin....heaven! :thumb:

Rip · Jan 6, 2005

I am a sucker for a pizza that the local pizzeria in Henniker makes. It's a Mediterranean Pizza with Spinach, feta cheese, greek olives, tomatoes. :drool:

-dustin · Jan 6, 2005

i'm poor, so my definition of good pizza is the $5 large pepperonis at Little Ceaser's. best pizza in Austin.

Ahh, does this make me miss home. :drool:

I will go on record and say pizza from New Haven is the best in the country!!!

Pepe's, Sally's, Modern, and a few others in North Haven and East Haven I am forgetting. Damn I miss good pizza. And after leaving Pepe's taking a short walk to Libby's for some awesome Italian ice!

WTF did I move to Florida? What the hell was I thinking? Not only does the pizza suck, but this place is a flat as a pizza. :eviltongu

That's the truth.......

Hello Kitty · Jan 7, 2005

pizza Ha!

get real...some slow smoked bar-b-q brisket some hot links along with some home made coleslaw and a ice cold beer is what will set you right down here in Texas.

and dont forget about the Louisiana crawfish boils either MmmmmmMmmmmm Good !

chicodude · Jan 7, 2005

My uncle lives just south of San Antonio and he make the greatest brisket eva.....

TN · Jan 7, 2005

all the real pizza joints here use very thin & crispy crust, almost like a cracker. Its OK. I like NY style better & you can keep the deep dish.

HK-2 words, BBQ pizza, hombre. The best of both worlds. :drool:

Silver · Jan 7, 2005

I can put together a pizza in my kitchen that kills any mainstream place for about 2 dollars.

The hour of time is the hard part...

Hello Kitty · Jan 7, 2005

sorry to hijack the thread but i'll get us spinning on the subject again.

i'm not a big pizza fan had too much BAD pizza in college but when i do eat pizza i go to the small mom and pop places star pizza here in houston has a yummy meatball pizza on THIN crust

-dustin · Jan 7, 2005

i haven't had brisket in so long. i think the last real bbq i had was when i graduated high school. we had a place here in Fredericksburg that would bbq a brisket you brought in, and oh man....that was the best meal. especially the ends that were dripping with flavor. oh man, and their sauce. dang. couldn't handle eating the fat, though.

but they closed down. long live Birck's.

they also had breakfast burritos that were about the size of Freebird's burritos. $6. filled you up all day, though.

I went to a pizza joint in TX once, I dont remember where, I was a little kid, but all of the "pies" were shaped like TX. My crazy TX-obsessed Grand father took me there.

Hello Kitty · Jan 7, 2005

since Im trying to lose weight for the upcoming mtb racing season we dont go out and eat much anymore maybe one sin meal a week or so since November 1st Ive had a steak dinner, Mexican food (my weakness) and a pizza after a hard ride. Since Im on this healthy food eating kick I just dont have the cravings for all the crap I used to eat along with GASP beer!!! I feel like an alcoholic that needs to get his three month sobriety chip at the local A.A. meeting since Ive gone booze less.

The only pizza I really like is the stuff that made in the brick ovens that isnt swimming in grease on a nice crisp crust Mmmmmmfood

Well, it may taste good, but in my opinion it isn't pizza.

I LIKE thin crust pizza! I like the thick crust stuff too. Hell, I like any kind of pizza. I also like dark beer and I like lighter beers. I like MTB and I like road riding. I ski and I snowboard. Why limit yourself to one thing?

Domino's sucks. :dead:

Ah, Jim - we may disagree in other threads, but on this you are 100% in the right. Have you been to the Coney Island one? They lock the screen door when the run out of dough. In the summer that may be early in the evening, but if they are out of dough you are out of luck. They lock the screen door and you get to sit inside & see the look of disapointment on the faces of the people who walk up & see the door locked.....

How long have you had a fear of commitment? J/K Ever been to Frankie & Johnnies in Springfield? Mmmm now thats good pie.....

My goal every day is to get in and get out of Springfield as quickly as humanly possible.

No, I have not been to Frankie and Johnnies. I have been to like three restaurants in the three years I've been working here.

I am only familiar with the Coney Island one. I can kill 2 birds with one stone. Nathans for cheese fries and frog legs then head over to Tontonno's for pie. I learned to go early.....

When I was in Nathan's this past weekend (bringing my kid to the aquarium) we had Chow-Mein sandwiches. Now those are good.

You get to Brooklyn for pizza often?
Have you been to Patsys, aka Grimaldis?

MMcG · Jan 7, 2005

I'm hungry now.

DRB · Jan 7, 2005

Now I gotta go get pizza at lunch but I wanna go now.

My boss took me to totonnos in manhattan last week. That was pretty freakin' good.

laura · Jan 7, 2005
