Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

I read this whole ridiculous thread to see if New Haven got mentioned. The pizza here is out of control. It's ridiculous how high the standards are.

If you're north of Beantown, there's a place in Melrose called Caruso's that's a close second to Regina's.

If you're here picking up your Carl Strong frame in person McKenzie River Pizza is just a few blocks away. Otherwise Colombo's up by the college.

Along my ride in Houston,TX, there's New York Pizzaria on Holcome, Frank's in Downtown, and Star Pizza on Washington. Frank's always gets a nod from me, as I can always shoot the breeze with Tim between his deliveries.

Best pizza I ever had was in Boston, north end perhaps. I don't remember the name of the place but there was a line around the corner waiting to get in. My friend and I skipped the entire line a picked a spot at the 6-8 person bar. I remember seeing pictures of I believe the owner crawling inside of the oven doing some repairs. I think it might even be wood burning, but perhaps not. But damm that the the best pizza I've ever had.

I lived in Chicago. Chicago Pan is not pizza. When you're given the option of sausage pieces or an entire patty that is not pizza. In fact I'll go as far as to say that I don't like it. The crust is more like corn meal then flour...eeewwwuuuu.

Like I said, it was a battle. Craig (the guy in the picture) actually provided two pictures... the one above and this one:



I think it shows incredible foresight on his part to size up the toilet to make sure that the whole slice will fit.

DC's not a great pizza town, but these are my places:

I like Ella's a lot. Unlike Matchbox, it's always easy to get a table at Ella's, and they have a soy cheese pizza (a little easier on my system). I also like Alberto's on P Street, sort of across from Paradiso.

I actually miss Trio's carry out pizza; it was admittedly an acquired taste, but I grew up on the stuff and I liked being able to walk around the corner at 3am for a slice and an orange soda. <sigh> Its' replacement, Hank's Oyster Bar, is a much nicer place, though; so I'm getting over it.

Best pizza hands down is Brother's in Telford,PA.

But since I don't get up there too often;DC has alot of decent 'big slice' places that will fill the need,but for taste I'd suggest Palisades Pizzeria & Clam Bar on lower MacArthur or Cappuchino Pizza on Wisc in Georgetown.

For SF, North Beach pizza is pretty good, Goat Hill is good, and only a few blocks from Anchor brewing so fresh beer, and Escape from New York is decent...

In Santa Cruz, CA where I was raised, Pizza My Heart ruled the day. Razor-thin pizzas decked with pepperoni grease for days, served with as much great ranch dressing and habanero sauce as you could take (yeah, I know, adultery). I probably gained a good dozen pounds in my time there eating just that very combo. That dozen pounds was well worth it.

Now I'm vegetarian (and actually, right now, vegan) and live in San Fran so I will rock Escape From New York now and again, and also loves me some Zachary's if I'm in Oaktown. Everyone goes there for the thick crust action but it's often too much for me- I love their thin crust very much.

There's a cornmeal crust-slanted place in the city called Viccolo's that sells pre-made crusts at my favorite organic grocery store. They turn out beautifully right out of my crappy oven, and I get to get creative with toppings.

Mmm, miso & olive paste with marinated tomatoes and 4-year-old gouda.. Pretty hoity-toity but I love rolling weird combos like that.
