Kiddo, if you must eat this pizza, atleast go to a authentic italian restraunt and order a wood fire oven pizza. Order medium size and have a pint of beer or 2 glasses of red.

And cauliflower pizza should be banned. So should almond flour pancakes.

Are you kidding dude? There is only one type of pizza, New York style.

LOL. The best pizza places in NY are cooked by wood and coal oven’s with a thin crust.

Lombardi’s near the Village

Patsy’s in East Harlem

Where do you get good pizza from in Miami? I’ve been there 4 times and all I’ve found is shit. Most metro areas may have “a” good pizza place but good luck finding it. Same goes for Bagels. I’ve been to alot of major cities around the country (over 30 states) and good pizza is hard to find. This is coming from a guy that made delicious thin crust pizza for over 5 years.

NYC’s pizza is going down the tubes anyhow. It’s getting over run by $1 slice spots all over the tourist areas. It tastes worse than pizza hut and I’m sure tourists will be calling NYC’s pizza overrated because of it in no time.[/quote]

yelp bro… you gotta yelp that shit[/quote]

I’m new to yelp. I just found out about it a few months ago. I proudly got some reviews under my belt. (good and bad lol)

I usually ask locals where to go. 99% of the time they’ll tell me to go to subway for a sandwich or some shitty pizza hut for pizza. When I ask for local places, they look at me like I’m nuts. Great, thanks.

And what’s up with the $4 a slice prices in LA? Don’t you guys know it’s supposed to be $2 a slice?

I had the link on there but erased it because I only went to the one in Hoboken, NJ (which is awesome by the way). I wanted to keep it all NYC. If the NYC locations are as good as Hoboken, I’d put them on the list too.

I dont know man I’m not up in LA.

But TBH I’m not really a big pizza guy. Every time I eat it I think “man that was really good. I should eat pizza more often” but then I never order it when I go out anywhere haha.

I’m a HUUUUUGE mexican food fan.

If you ever visit Perth, Western Australia, home of the Bird, then I strongly recommend
Ruoccos pizza in Fremantle.
Wood oven cooked pizza.
Cowabunga!

In manhattan there are about 300 pizzerias (im sure thats an extremely low estimate). There are 4 pizzerias worth mentioning. And another 5 in brooklyn. Since you didnt mention any, it’s safe to say you just had run of mill gas oven pizza with too much cheese and oil.

Let us know when youve tried coal oven pizza

Pizza and Bagels are a product of the water. A friend of my dad’s opened up a pizzeria outside of ft lauderdale and gets NY water shipped there a few times a week. His spot is doing pretty well.

it reminds ME of that Daily Show episode, where Palin and Trump went to Famiglia pizza, which Palin called ‘New York pizza’. This place is owned by Albanians or something. Trump ate his pizza with a fucking fork.

Well yeah, that too. That episode of the office was in Season 2 though, in like 2004, so it wins :slight_smile:

^My sister use to live above the Famiglia’s on Madison Avenue. It was actually the first pizza I ever tasted in NY and remember thinking it wasn’t very good. It wasn’t until I hit up Grimaldi’s did I really see the difference.

Next time I’m down there I’m gonna be sure to try Lombardi’s.

But PB man I would consider Lou Malnati’s in Chicago on par with any pizza made in NYC.

Chicago doesnt make pizza. They make sauce and cheese pot pie. If you eat ‘pizza’ with a fork, youre an asshole. And Im pretty sure not all people in Chicago are assholes. Ergo…

yeah, NYC is all about the thin crust. To tell you the truth I’ve never had ‘authentic’ NYC thin crust pizza, so next time I’m there I’ll definitely get the real thing.

As for Chicago, deep dish is where it’s at obviously, and I don’t eat that shit with a fork, fuck that. My favorite is 1) Giordano’s, 2) Gino’s East… then comes 3) Lou Malnati’s (probably because I’ve had it so many times as there is one right by me). This might be heresy but I have actually have not had Pizzeria Uno’s and Pizzeria Due.

No, the underlying sentiment is that if someone can’t eat a single slice of anything referred to as “pizza” without eating ALL of it, then making fake tasty foods out of vegetables is a band aid and not a solution because they’re still eating without restraint and will sooner or later fall off the wagon and blow through a truckload of some sort of food that’s not made out of cauliflower, splenda, and ground almonds.

Go check out the “other side” of this site and see how many lean individuals there really are over there posting pictures of their science experiment foods and compare it to how many of them are caught up in a constant cycle of binging and weight loss while stuffing their face the whole time…the only variable that changes is the caloric density of the food they’re stuffing it with. If you can’t eat a slice of fucking pizza without having to eat the whole fucking pizza, then maybe you shouldn’t be eating ANY pizza until you’ve got the willpower to not eat the whole thing.

I see your point, but for some people making alternative versions is their way of controlling how much they eat. If it works for that person, awesome. If it reinforces poor eating habits, not awesome.

To be honest, I could see cauliflower pizza reinforcing the “just eat once” philosophy very well. A pizza made of dirt would work the same way.
