Yup. I grew up on Pepe's, Sally's, the Modern, the Spot, Rose Garden, Sorrento's, Luigi's, Domenic's. In grade school my neighbor Susie and I would walk from the school to Sorrento's, where Johnny was spinning the dough and his wife Irene would bring us our cokes with crushed ice, and then we'd get a small cheese pie to share. Total cost for 6 slices and 2 cokes: $2.00. Pretty steep for a couple of 9-year-old kids but it was just once a month. Old fashioned pizza joint, with red and white checked tile and a jukebox with Sweet Caroline and I Love You Baby playing in between Frank Sinatra songs.

Johnny and Irene moved back to Sorrento, and the new owners took the business across the street to expand next door to the IHOP (which is now a decent Indian restaurant).

The pizza was always burnt bubble-edged super-crispy thin-crust, with plenty of home-made sauce, a fair amount of cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, a dash of romano, a sprinkle of oregano, and a lot of love.

Hell yea! The best!!

Coming from NY, I thought their pizza was not too bad until they cheated on me with a recycled mushroom pizza which is never acceptable. I will never go there again.

Nonsense. I come from Revere, MA which is an Italian majority city. In fact, Boston's North End and East Boston, (adjacent to Revere) are also Italian enclaves. They are much like Little Italy in New York City.

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.

All I can say is you never ate pizza at Dona Andrea in Amalfi.

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!

Do not remember the name of the restaurant we ate pizza in Amalfi but I will say OMG sooooooo good.

NYPD Pizza in front of Walmart on 466

We had pizza in about 3-4 places in Italy, thought it was ok but would have liked more cheese.

Neighborhood pizza places in Brooklyn and Queens were the best we have found.

Would you be kind enough to post or pm your dough recipe?

Somewhat off the subject, but has anyone tried Sicilian pizza anywhere near TV? Recommendations?

:agree:
