| Alabama | Anniston/ Saks | Carpenetti's | rheeric | "... I have never tasted a pizza as awesome as the 431 store in Saks. They are huge too! They have to be crammed into a large box! AWESOME TRUE NY ITALIAN TASTE!" |
| Alabama | Cullman | Carlton's | Chughey | "Crust and sauce make it great." |
| Alabama | Daphne | Cousin Vinny's | drewbaxter | "5 Cheese pizza is awsome! Some of the best crust I've ever had!" |
| Alabama | Gadsden | Mater's | tgmorgan | "The service is slow and rude, which is part of the charm. Has been for 30 years. Pizza has a distintive flavor that is hard to describe, but the place has been packed for years, so that says enough." |
| Alabama | Huntsville | Terry's Pizza | Mark |
"Its the crust & the sauce. Its simply the best in
town. Not a chain but good old down home pizza mak'in!" |
| Alabama | Mobile | Papa's Pizza | MMcauliffe | "The pizza is always fresh, plus the use of Franks Red Hot Sauce makes me weak. One of the best pizza I have ever had.." |
| Alabama | Moody | Carpenetti's | jlaslave | "The accent of the patrons was the only clue that we weren't in
New York City: the pizza was that good!" |

"Beverly Pizza on Fairfield Avenue is amazing.
... Sauce - great, crust
- great, cheese - great. Try a pizza from here ONCE and you'll be hooked. I've been going there since I was a kid." |
| Connecticut | Bridgeport | Julian's Brick Oven | RMS |
"If you love the world famous
Pepe's
in New Haven, you'll love Julian's. They taste very similar - hard to believe right ?. They use a wood burning brick oven, and have a dynamite thin crust. It's top notch across the board, cheese, sauce, and crust,......superb !!!" |
| Connecticut | Bristol | Pizza House | Mark | "The sauce is sweet not bitter. The crust is not too thick not too thin just right!...What makes this pizza unique is all the fixings are cooked under the cheese...the cheese is on top, this seals in a lot of the flavor you loose when fixings are on top of the cheese, Sicilian style" |
| Connecticut | Canaan | Roma | Robert |
"Good sauce, good service you feel like you are at home.
We go there every week the overall the best oven pizza " |
| Connecticut | Cheshire | Ed Davitt's House | Edward Davitt | This is one of those pizza places where if you can find it, you can get pizza! Ed writes: "I make it myself. I make the dough with a little garlic powder, the sauce with a little Burgundy wine. Put on what you like, then I make it thin and cook it well done." |
| Connecticut | Cheshire | Rossini's | rleavitt |

Arcudi's | dj | "Joe
and Sandy Arcudi started a restaurant in Westport in the 70s and became a regional favorite... later, reestablished a more modest restaurant with the same great pizza in the former location of Venezia on First St. in East Norwalk ... with their broad menu and lusty Sicilian pies....Try the sausage and extra cheese Sicilian for big delicious chunks of zau-zeech, tasty sauce, and thick, bready crust. Weight: ~5 lbs!" |

The Red Tomato Pizzeria | Tototwo | "...The crust is thin and crisp, but still chewy. The sauce is simple- no grape jelly, no oregano, just Aunt Maries' sweet, fragrant marinara. The clams on the white clam pie are from local beds, and were shucked a few hours before being served on your pizza..." |

Owner Chris
Owen "certainly is on a noble
mission and makes an equally noble pie. Chris
makes a thin crispy crust that holds up very well with all the fresh and
natural toppings. Pizzetta Pizza is a cut above, another star in the
constellation of great pizza pies." / The pizza is done in a special imported brick oven heated to over 550F is thin crispy crunchy and the combination of toppings are mouth watering delectable. The first bite literally stopped me in my tracks. Truly the guy makes an exceptional pie... |
| Connecticut |
New Haven |
Bar Pizza | Tom | "...The shape of the pizza strays from traditional pie whereas it's oval shaped. They also cut the pieces more geometrically square. There is one long cut down the center of the oval, then, perpendicular to that, they run along the rest of the pie to make rectangular pieces, with the middle of the oval having the longest slices. You can easily eat a large between 2 people because it's so thin. The sauce is fantastic and the oven compares to the one at Modern. The atmosphere is an old warehouse type setting with lots of Brick. Amongst the brick are metal beer vats situated throughout the dining room...." |

"...a
fabulous brick oven thin crust in the best New Haven tradition. The
pies are not overly complex so the interplay of flavors comes through.
The sauce is light and doesn't overwhelm the pizza. My favorites are the white clam pizza and the clams casino pizza. Both are New Haven classics...." /"Great! Great! Great! Excellent crust and always fresh toppings. ""Best clam pizza ever!" / "...Modern has a pie that rivals Sally's for taste and texture, friendly staff and fast service..." /"Don't neglect.....still Pepe's and Sally's are awesome, however, next time you visit...try Modern." /"The pizza is as good as Pepe's, Sally's and Roseland but the service is better than all 3 put together!" /"CONSISTENCY! That's what it is all about!..." / "Crust and sauce - cooked to perfection." |

weekly." "...a fine pie. In particular the OldeWorld eggplant pie is superior. And, no doubt, you know it is not easy to find a good eggplant pie.." |

Zuppardi's Apizza | yzordderrex dasoa / matlockgirl / Edwalsh1957 |
"Sauce
is a tad sweet, not lumpy. Crust is thin, well done.
You order a sausage pieand you get sausage - you don't get little
slices of sausage. You get the ground up sausage -
like they put in the hot Italian links- and lots of it.
You burn your mouth on the pie when they give it to you. That's
the way its supposed to be. And it's the same pie every time."
/ "The sauce, the crust, real mootz (cheese) and just the right amount, the atmosphere. It's still what apizza should be and what is was when I was a kid." / "The simplicity of the pie is perfect! Clams, pepperoni, or their special -- sausage and mushrooms -- are some of the fantastic flavors. Even the plain, just sauce and grated cheese is outstanding!!"/ "Zoop's crust is thin and crunchy, the sauce is...very fresh tasting. You can eat a lot of their pie and never feel "weighed down" like most pizza." |

tradition of Henry the Pizza Maker, whose odd, oily thin style
(cheddar but it's good!) pervaded Brockton, Mass.-area mainstays such as Cape
Cod Cafe, Blue Moon and Tip Top Cafe." / "..Town Spa is the best....I say that now after 40 years traveling around the world ...I knew it was good then but never knew just how good! Whenever I get back east I always drop by to say hello and enjoy a great tasting cheese Pizza." |

"...Topping
selections are limited, and all pies measure around the 12.5 " diameter
mark. The crust! It may just be the water or the humid conditions in the
four-high stack ovens burning at around 650 degrees, but these guys know how
to do a crust! The sauce lies somewhere between a smooth, contemporary
tomato slather and an Old-World pomodoro kiss. Just a hint of
herbal kick and garlic. The cheese blend
is hard to pin down, but low-skim Mozzarella is pulling duty in all its browned, bubbly goodness... " |
