Totino’s

D’Boni’s Pizza in Escalon, California located 65 miles East of San Francisco on Highway 120.

Athens Pizza in Atlanta, GA.

Boston’s Pizza. Kailua, Oahu in HI.
No question.

Lombardi’s, 32 Spring St. in NYC baby! Best and oldest pizza shop in the US. Discussion ovah!

Some place in New York City

This needs to come under the heading of shameless plug I suppose. Coburg Pizza Company has become our missional adventure into our neighborhood of Eugene, Oregon. Y’all are welcome any time! http://coburgpizza.com

Giordano’s Stuffed Pizza in Chicago
http://www.giordanos.com

I believe that a number of us mentioned My Father’s Pizza in Black Mountain, NC, when you mentioned being in that area some time back.
For “mainstream,” I’m a huge fan of Papa John’s. But I expect that no mainstream chain will match the independently owned places others will mention….

Lou Malnati’s

Black Mountain can’t have that great of pizza if they’ve got that good of coffee. Isn’t there a limit on goods?

yes, Lou knows pizza

I have to weigh in: Is there anything possibly better than Bill’s Pizza and Pub? That double-crust pizza is to pizza what Macs are to computers.

I vote for Giordano’s Stuffed Pizza in Chicago (and I don’t even live in Chicago). Nothing outside of New York can even compare to it, and the New York/Chicago debate isn’t going to be won here, but I prefer Giordano’s . I think it’s much better than Lou Malnati’s, Gino’s, Uno, etc.

Jonathan, I wasn’t aware there even was a debate.

I love Chicago pizza. As a “Son of the South” I spent several weeks in Chi town as a business person and fell in love with their pizza. I also have been a Cub fan since birth – or at least since I could read a box score. Gotta love Wrigley!.
Giordano’s, Uno, Pizzano’s – it’s all GREAT! New York Pizza is good, but not close to Chicago!

Oops….forgot to say I spent 3 years in Evanston in seminary and got to sample it all! Sigh….best years of my life…

When I was in Grad school it was Zachary’s – still is, but I have not had any in ages.

Stefano’s in Chicago does a good job.

Johnny’s Pizza. Hands down. The rest of you are incorrect.

Round Table – chicken bacon garlic

Except for my wife’s homemade pies, it’s gotta be Giordanos.
When my dad and I went to the occasional White Sox game (chill out, Cubs’ fans, I was a kid), he liked to take me to Home Run Inn. It would get my vote for thin crust pizza.

The Best Home Made Pizza You?ve Never Had

I’ll tell you who makes the best affordable frozen pizza. Reggio’s, here in Chicago. Mm-mmm, buttery-crust good.
As for Chicago pizza, I LOVE our deep dish (and no one beats Giordano’s, but Lou’s is close), but one slice is a meal for an entire day. Home Run Inn, then, would have to be my choice by virtue of NOT killing me.

It’s gotta be “Mrs. B’s” in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario Canada. They have a large Italian community and boast the most italian restaurants and pizzeria’s per capita. I live in Niagara now and the pizza sucks!

Giordano’s in the Chicagoland area! For a unique pizza…try a pizza pot pie from Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder in the Lincoln Park area! Gotta get the Mediterranean bread and salad there or it’s not a complete experience! Also, the hosts somehow remember the order in which people arrive, the # in their party, etc. without taking names! They’ve been accurate the few times I’ve been there!

Reservoir Tavern–Parisippany, New Jersey.

I am partial to my homemade thin crust pizza…

I definitely have to say somewhere in New York. I’ve had pizza in NYC and Chicago and that’s my pick. Too bad I couldn’t tell you where it was I ate that pizza in either place, sorry.

nobody’s even mentioned Nancy’s love Nancy’s, grew up near the first one and their stuffed pizza is amazing — a bit of a sweet crust

Full Moon Pizza, 187th and Arthur Ave. in the Bronx.

I agree with Kristen, Jonathan (15), David, Kim, and Jason …
Giordano’s Stuffed Pizza in Chicago
http://www.giordanos.com
I am from Lancaster County, PA, known for PA Dutch food, which doesn’t include pizza I believe that my first exposure to Giordano’s was when I was snowed in at Following Christ 98. The leftovers saved me and my roommates from buying hotel food, well I guess that I did buy the conference discount breakfast buffet.

Rusticana’s in Easton, MD.

Those who have not had Chicago style pizza in Chicago are just eating pizza facsimiles. Among the Chicago houses, Lou Malnati’s gets the crown…

Savastano’s in Bixby, Oklahoma (Tulsa area).
I visited Chicago and ate at Giordannos and loved it, so I searched for a Chicago style pizza in Tulsa. Savastano’s was the only one.
I tried it and now like it just a bit more.

Art of Pizza in Chicago. If you’ve tried all the other deep dishes in the city, you need to give it a shot. Don’t judge the pizza by the decor…

The Tomato Head in downtown Knoxville…really good, in fact we are heading there within the hour….

Famous Ray’s in NYC – hands down! 2nd – Ciminera’s (Clifton Heights, PA) extra cheeses, sausage & pepperoni.

I love Giordano’s as well. But I seldom get there to Chicago. When I am near Detroit I go for Pizza Papalis. Where I live my wife’s is best.

No kidding: my wife!!
