Default Pizza

Finely had pizza worth going back for IMO of course.

PEPPERONI MAGNIFICO
Pepperoni, our signature Old World Pepperoni®, romesan seasoning, our original sauce and signature three cheeses

From Marco’s

I like thin crust pizza and this has distinctive taste for me. Course others may have different views about pizza. So, IMO only place I consider retuning to. Otherwise just buy frozen pizza with I consider best rated of frozen pizza Digiorno’s classic crust.

We’ve been making our own pizza. Getcha some pizza dough from Publix (or your local grocer/bakery), spoon on your sauce ( we like Rayo’s) and add your favorite toppings. Throw it all on a high heat (outdoor) grill end enjoy.

Doesn’t get much better. Basic, simple, inexpensive and pure.

We coincidentally had this the other night. It was decent, but it wasn't anything to write home about. The crust was good, but I found the sauce to be somewhat bland. Adding oregano, red pepper flakes and grated parm helped a lot.

We do the same except my wife makes her own dough. I preheat a pizza stone on the grill and crank all three burners as high as they go. I can get to almost 800 degrees. Five or six minutes and you have a pizza. The trick is to make sure that the pizza stone is good and hot before you start. That way your crust gets good and crispy..

We have made our own and always disappointed.

Nappolinos is pretty good, not as good as New York but good.

It takes more to state the best pizza is from East LA. LA????????????? What is that, like avocado pizza????? Clearly, without any doubt or debate, the best pizza is from the original Ray's in Greenwich Village.

Which original Rays? By last count there were over a dozen claiming to be Rays.

Marcos thin crust is pretty good! The regular crust is ok too. I’ve only been to the one on Seven Mile Road (466A)

Pan pizza in Chicago is good for a change once in awhile, but is mostly a tourist thing. The real Chicago style pizza is cracker thin crust, cut into squares, with flavorful blobs of seasoned Italian sausage and not too much cheese….well done to produce golden brown bubbles on top and crispy edges.

Guidos in Spring Hill, and Paul’s Chicago Pizza in St. Pete and Clearwater do it right. The Great Chicago Fire Brewery in Leesburg is closer, and will do in a pinch. GCF Brewery has fantastic Italian beefs, gyros, and of course craft beer.
