For me, it is hands down Frank Pepe's in New Haven.

Really, nothing else that I've had comes anywhere close.

Second place goes to Al Forno in Providence, RI.

Chicago style can get eat a bowl of dicks.

Derision. I guess its just what you're more used to, but eating a huge glob of dough and meat and cheese the size of my head just doesn't appeal to me.

Peace A Pizza, super cheap and friendly staff. Mostly college kids so I know a bunch of them. Also Grotto's, a chain but still very, very good.

i think the spinach salad and the beer is as good as the delicious pizza, and i like the atmosphere and the jukebox.

"We've taken pizza and beer to a whole different level," says owner and executive pizza chef Bill Brandt, who opened this gourmet pizzeria in 1997. The limited menu features nine different pizzas available in two sizes, 8-inch and 12-inch, plus a small selection of salads. The pizza's distinctive thin crusts (crunchy on the bottom, soft in the middle) are laced with fresh vegetables, meats and seafood. Six draft beers and about 20 bottled beers cover a wide range of styles, from Trappist ales to mass-market lagers. Bricks' two rooms are bright and cheery (Liz's note: untrue, but it does have character) despite the restaurant's location in the basement of an apartment building. Pop art lithographs and a pencil drawing of Jerry Garcia liven up the walls.

Anything good in the Juke Box? I like going to Waffle House when I'm back at home and playing Glen Campbell. Over and over.

Cora's Pizza, on Spadina, across from the Athletic Centre @ U of T - my favourite pizza there is "Rose Bianca" which has a thin crust with olive oil, ricota cheese, fresh tomato slices and basil. <3.

Haha, Waffle House jukeboxes are hilarious. I always play the California Raisins and The Doors. No where else would I ever do that.

Yeah, this jukebox is loaded with excellent classic rock and some SP and a lot of cool newer stuff. It's great.

Hey I'm going to be home this weekend, you're not, are you?

Best pizza i've ever eaten was a Giordano's stuffed pizza in Chicago. It was unlike any pizza I had ever had. One piece almost put me under the table. Simply Fantastic. The best local pizza i've had was from a place called Lightning Lizard. They were only around for about 5-6 months, they didn't have a very good location, but their deals could not be beat. They had a large one topping plus 12 wings for $10.99. I would order one of those every night and split it with my brother while we watched Sifl and Olly.

i have a wonderful pizzeria right across the street. well. it's mainly a delivery service and i wouldn't want to eat there (apart from the summer, because it has tables outside then), but they make an amazing pizza. and they are there since 1992, which has to make them the longest lasting business for about 2 or 3 miles on my street...

Bricks is really good.

But, the best I've had was actually in Denton, Texas, called The Tomato. It's amazing.

Giordano's.

It's the only pizza place that delivers to me (other than Papa John's, sick). I haven't had it in forever though.

But honestly, Zachary's. It's been voted Best Pizza in the Nation like 12 times in a row.
