Round Table Pizza in California. Nothing close out this way.

I don't eat pizza anymore but I have a theory on which ingredients make the best pizza.

Lots of good quality cheese, tomatoes, olive oil and high sodium.
The higher the fat content the better it will taste and the more calories it will have. High sodium helps to enhance taste also.

Calories per slice depends of what kind of pizza you have.

Cheese pizza 230 calories per slice

Pepperoni pizza 290 calories per slice

Sausage pizza 280 calories per slice

Meat-piled high pizza 350 calories per slice

Veggie pizza 215 calories per slice

Spinach Alfredo pizza 240 calories per slice

I assume if you ask for double cheese you will increase the number of calories quite a bit. That's why doubble cheese usually tastes better. Double cheese means more fat and sodium.

If you're hungry and eat 3 slices with beverage, you're up around 1,000 calories. :22yikes:

My favoite is the original Pizzaria Uno in Downtown Chicago. It is Chicago style deep dish, and purists will say it is more of a casserole than a true pizza, however I found it delectable.

Jeeze, no offense, but when it comes to food you are really a scold or Debbie Downer! I think most people realize pizza is not "health food", and it shouldn't be eaten daily, but for a calorie splurge once in a while it is heavenly.

Just like making the fast food places put the nutrition data on the walls.

I truly don't believe that ANYONE would walk into McDonalds to get a Big Mac, look at the data and say "OH MY THAT ISN'T GOOD - THINK I WILL HAVE A SALAD INSTEAD." BULL !

People go to these places because 1) they enjoy it; 2) it is fast and 3) it is cheap. You know what you are getting into when you go there.

Remember - there was a guy who wanted to sue because eating at fast food places made him fat !! DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I suspect that the best pizza you have had occured when you were really hungry. The best pizza ordered out for me came from Auburn New York. The pizza was 3 feet long and 1/1/2 feet wide and doughy and we order four of them for a party . The toppings excellent as they were not over the top. My wife makes all sort of pizza Neapolitan, some with various toppings white pizza with asparagus or spinach deep dish, thin round, square. I love it all. Pizza, salad and a glass of vino.

It would b difficult to determin the best pizza in New York city as they have thousands of pizza places. However, its a dirty job but someday ust has to tackle it and make that determination:D:D

OOH OOH PICK ME - I'LL DO IT !!!!

Varsity Pizza on Syracuse Univ. campus!!

JEAN! I hardly EVER disagree with you.

But La Rosa's from Cincinnati has been making people smile for over fifty years.

YUM!

Maybe it IS the water, but I don't think they use the water from the old muddy. (OHIO RIVER)

Neither have we...(we're from Queens). I just can't...

Great Responses
 

Clearly, most of us prefer our "home-grown" pizzas but I think there is some truth to the opinion that New York wins the pizza wars in the USA. I've been fortunate to have lived in a lot of places in my life incuding Chicago, Brooklyn, Monterey, and northern Italy. The pizza in New York is definitely competitive with Italian pizzas; Chicago pizza is really good too, but an acquired taste. I think there may be a lot of good pizza locations missing from Wine and Food's list.

Sadly, Florida is badly unrepresented in the pizza discussion. I'm surprised, with the number of New Yorkers who have settled in Florida that someone hasn't opened a great pizzeria.

So, if you need a pizza fix in The Villages, where do you go?

Best New York pizza I have had was a kosher place about a block or two from the Empire State Building. An orthodox Jewish friend took me there when we were at a two week meeting in NYC. I am not Jewish, but damn was that good pizza.
