Lou’s
Margherita at a random restaurant in Naples, duh
Elephant & Co. in Detroit. But I grew up on Detroit style, so I may be biased.
Detroit style is the deep dish pan greasy crunchy stuff right? If so, then thats probably my favorite second to wood fired hand tossed.
Yeah. Deep dish with thick bread, crispy cheesy edges, and always square (or rectangular). It should also use brick cheese, not mozzarella.
Imo’s in St. Louis is my favorite overall. Thin, crispy crust, square cut, Provel as the base cheese. It scratches an itch that all other pizzas don’t. I’d eat it 7 days a week if I could, hot or cold.
I’ve had pizzas with superior ingredients, made in fancy ovens, served with wine instead of cold beer, but if I could get any pizza right now, it’d be Imo’s black olive or veggie pizza.
Burt’s in Morton Grove Il is still my favorite.
Burt passed a few years ago, but some locals bought it and reopened. It’s as good as ever.

The first time I had Papa John’s with the garlic sauce. I guess I just like garlic.
There’s a place just a 5 minute walk from me that does $10 any size up to 5 toppings every Monday… So my weekly extra large 5 topping pizza is the only pizza I eat now. I have no memory of other pizzas. (It is actually pretty good though!)
Damn man, frozen pizzas cost more then $10!
Some place in Rone when I was about 10 on a trip with my parents. Cut out of a massive rectangle, ate in the street, it was memorable.
When we were on holiday in Malaysia as kids, we ordered room service one evening. My brother was a picky eater so we asked for a plain cheese pizza, expecting like a margherita style.
Instead it was pizza base with just some sad grated cheese melted on top. Didn’t taste great but just thinking about it makes me laugh. We waited about 40 minutes for that disappointment.
Lorenzo and Sons in Philly
It’s right across from the Theater of the Living Arts and we used to stop there all the time before and after a show. They were massive slices for cheap and really hit the spot every time.
Mellow mushroom, god I miss it.
I’m still curious WTF kind of pizza Jennifer Aniston is making that drives all her fellow celebrities wild.
Chicken Alfredo pizza.
Nothing in my area after 2020. They all got greedy, switched to Sysco to save a buck, and now they all taste the same.
Ordering from Sysco is the same as going to a giant grocery store. Quality entirely depends on how much effort they put into it.
That said, I still get annoyed when I order at a high end place and I can tell they used some sysco pre-made sauce instead of their own recipe. Don’t get me started on pre-packaged hollandaise, it tastes like miracle whip.
