Best pizza on the planet
Posted by: Dan M on 22 October 2003
Following the burger discussion in the supper thread, I'd like to hear suggestions for best pizza. For me it has to be deep dish Chicago style. And it's a two-way tie:
Other's to consider?
cheers
Dan
p.s. sweet corn does not belong on a pizza, ever.
- Gino's East - Chicago
- Zachary's Pizza - Berkeley

Unfortunately we'll never get to find out 
Ludwig - sorry, don't think so - this issue is just too big. 
Dave - let me know how well those pizzas travel.
re. location/pizza. Some of the most memorable pizzas I've had have been at Miguels in the Red River Gorge, KY. After a hard days climbing, hanging out with other climbers and eating one of Miguels pizza's, topped with whatever he had growing in the garden, and an Ale 81 (local ginger ale). I'll never forget the German climber who was across the table pulling out a bunch of garlic after the meal and eating cloves whole as desert. There's something very satisfying about a good meal and company when you're physcically and mentally exhausted.

OK…..at this point I need to retract my statement that US pizzas are all too much yucky dough. You have convinced me that my experience is unrepresentative and I should come out to NY & Chicago (never been) to put things right. It wouldn’t normally matter, but this is too important to remain unchecked. I am obviously wrong. Please forgive me. I will be needing recommendations though.
Strangely, the PE Fiorentina is my fave, even though I am a great believer in, as Ludwig says, too many toppings are a mistake and kill the pizza. It may sound gross Ludwig – but you’ll just have to come here and have one. I’ll buy. There isn’t much on it, just a smattering of spinach. It’s not piled up.
Al Duomo in Brighton has just re-opened after a major refurb, and it is twice the size, modern and a great place to eat. I was there a couple of weeks ago (I had pasta).

Rasher, we'll have to do a Pizza Swap (but leave the egg out unless you like vomit).

OK...so we are now moving towards favorite toppings.
Not a fan of carrots on pizzaNo way I'll become a deep pizza convert. Thin & crispy for me please guys 
Dan M:
I'm exposing you for secretly sharing with me that you liked the thin-crust pizzas in Brazil!
However, in maintaining your bad taste you did state that you liked them topped with hearts of palm. I bet you also loved them topped with hardboiled eggs, huh?

Sir Alex:
I'm a dedicated thin cruster. It's Mr. M who expressed his love for gooey thick messes throughout this thread, but recently told me that he woofed down a thin-crust pie within the past few weeks in a moment of weakness and rather enjoyed it.
Perhaps he's converted; I don't know. What I do know is he's a sneaky little pie muncher and this riddle must be solved...

Ludwig,
Egg?!! You've got confused with Alex. From page 1:
AG:I am a fan of the egg on pizza.
Deep dish still holds the title of best pizza, but I must admit to enjoying that Brazillian thin crust. I'd like to know if Rasher tried Gino's or if Marc got to Zachs. One by one we will convert the world...
