How does pizza at Pasta Faire fare? Fair?

Not bad pizza but always better to make your own. Yep, get the dough from Publix. It’s usually pretty fresh. Once you make your own, you won’t pay close to $20 to buy it out.

We are from Chicago and like New Yorkers, we generally find the pizza here just OK, no more. One exception is the pizza place in Belleview, just off 301. Very good.

John's Bleeker St Greenwich Village or Frank Pepe Wooster St New Haven

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.

Home Run Inn pizza, at the Publix. You can enhance it with some shredded mozzarella, and a bit of Romano cheese.

True, if you are addicted to grease.

My wife had never made her own pizza dough. She found a recipe on YouTube that used yogurt. The crust comes out perfect every time. Who knew...

Have to agree, there appear to be dozens of Original & Famous Rays in Manhattan (I said appear because there are likely many more, I just haven't tried to count them).

However, G-E did direct us to Greenwich Village.

The stone fired thin crust pizza's from Francesco's Italian restaurant are very good.
 
We've had their pizza's several times from Francesco's. You can make your own pizza's (specifying what toppings you want on them) and even have cauliflower crust pizza's.

I had pizza last week from a place that usually has the best pizza in the area. Great crust. She wanted Fresh Garlic on her pizza. I’d never heard of that. I assumed it would be fresh garlic cloves, slivered like almonds. No, it turned out to be about a quarter cup of garlic from a jar! Juice included! It floated toward the center six inches and kept it from baking properly and left it soggy. It tasted good, but it was disappointing, and it was definitely not fresh. I’ll go back for more pizza, but without the fresh garlic.

We like to doctor up Palmero's thin-crust frozen pizza. Try it you'll like it.

Pasta Faire is our absolute favorite place to go for pizza's. We've invited guests to join us many times and now they're big fans.

We Love their Wednesday Special on Pizza. BOGO.
We Often travel over there for 2 to go on Wed.
Freezes well. Worth it.

We were in Italy in 2022, and sampled pizzas in many areas...Naples, Rome, Florence, Venice, Bologna, Ravenna, etc. Each was different in its own way, but all were excellent. I might even go so far as to say every one of them was better than any pizza we've had in the USA. What really surprised me, though, was how inexpensive pizza was in Italy. A favorite memory was a sidewalk cafe in Venice, off the beaten path. A pizza and a bottle of Sangiovese for 18 Euros. How do you beat that?

Flippers is excellent! Too many Pizza's around here that do not know how to cook the crust all the way to the middle. Nothing worse than a limp slice.

We are all different. After trying pizza in a number of European shops have decided that pizza was invented in Italy but perfected in US in mostly mom and dad neighborhood shops.
