New Haven Pizza is good but no different than the pizza from these places. My Grandparents were from Avellino, a few miles east of Naples. They didn't recognize the pizza we have here. |

You want good pizza?? Make your own. Winn Dixie has imported ltalian double zero flour and San Marzano tomatoes. Get some imported Italian EVOO and fresh mozzarella , a little salt and prosciutto. Bake and top with arugula . Add a nice Chianti Reserva and you will be in heaven.
My recipe: Make the dough Roll out the dough and spread EVOO across it. Sprinkle some salt over it. Crush some San Marzano tomatoes and layer on top, slice the fresh mozzarella and layer on top. Add the slices of prosciutto and bake. when done top with some fresh arugula. Mangia! |

Summarizing an annual PIZZA thread:
Nearly 100 posts. Every pizza place in TV is good. Every pizza place in TV is bad. NYers' identify themselves and self-label as experts. :1rotfl: Hopefully enough for 2021. :ho: |

You're so true, pizza from New York Jersey Connecticut etc, it's the water and a good thin crust that the pizza makers really know how to spin. I also say they make great thick crust square Sicilian, oh what I would give to have a good corner piece right now. There's one or two great places out of the villages but since none of you will get out of your bubble I'm not going to tell you where they are cuz I'm saving it for us non-villagers

OK, had a couple minutes so here's my dough recipe:
1/2 package active yeast ( about 3/4 teaspoon) 2-2 1/2 cups double zero flour ( or bread flour if you can't find 00) 3/4 cup warm water -NOT HOT 1 tablespoon honey pinch of salt 2 tablespoons EVOO ( extra virgin olive oil, preferably from Italia) Sprinkle yeast over the water in bowl. Add the honey and whisk. Let rest for 5 minutes. Oil the mixing bowl of your mixer and put on the dough hook. Put the flour and salt in the mixer bowl and turn the mixer on at very low speed. Slowly pour in the water and yeast mixer and continue to beat until the dough is well mixed. Increase the speed slightly and add the olive oil. Beat at medium speed for about 4-5 minutes until dough looks smooth and gather into a ball. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let rise for about 40-45 minutes in a warm place. Place on a lightly floured surface and divide dough by 4 and kneed into balls. Roll out to the desired thickness ( flour the dough)and follow my recipe posted above for topping. Bake at 450 until done. |

Add sugar to yeast and water mixture and let stand for a few minutes to activate the yeast, we call this poofing. Wondering if there is a difference between using sugar and honey? |
I come from Long island, many pizza places to choose from. Not all pizza places are great. The problem is it depends on the tomato sauce, the cheese and who you talk to. Some people like their pizza thick, thin, a lot of cheese, not so much cheese. Recently I tried NYPD pizza by Wedgewood lane. All that I can say is YUCK. It was the thinnest pizza dough I ever had and the tomato sauce had no flavor. To have the NY in their name is very deceiving. I recently ate at Franchesca's Italian restaurant on 441 2 x's. The dinner's were absolutely the best. The tomato sauce was the tastiest I ever had. They use San Marzano tomato's. A big WOW. Sorry I got carried away. Getting back to the PIZZA. I saw other customers ordering the pizza. The pizza looked absolutely GREAT. A nice crust, not to thick and with the San Marzano tomato sauce this pizza has to be the BEST. On my next visit to Franchesca's I will be ordering the PIZZA.

Arguing with a NYer about best pizza is like wrestling a pig in the mud. After awhile you realize the pig enjoys wrestling in the mud. Myself, I prefer a flat pizza a la NY style. Don’t much care for Chicago style as there is too much crust. Our favorite pizza is Mellow Mushroom. Mighty Meaty. Closest one is in Mt. Dora.

Had friends visiting this week and ordered a couple of pies from Piesano's, they raved about how good it was. Have not tried Sammy's. |

Sammy's Italian has the best thin crust pepperoni in the area! Just had one, and loved it.

I've never had a pizza in NYC. But my NJ neighbor up in Maine raves about it, ad nauseam. NY pizza... NY pizza...
But I have had a hot dog at Nathan's in Coney Island. Eh? What's the big deal? |
So far, my favorite is Piesano's ultra thin. But, I don't know why they call it ultra thin. It's just a thin crust pizza.

Piesanos
When they first opened it was okay, Now its horrible
