This article more or less rings true:
http://tinyurl.com/ku5tae4 Having grown up in the epicenter of the pizza belt, I'm usually disappointed by the pizza I've encountered outside of it. In all the years I've lived in the Washington, D.C., area, I've only encountered two restaurants that make pizza that even resembles the good stuff from New Haven. And there was one pizza joint in NE Florida that had satisfactory pizza...and it turns out the owner and chef was from Providence. |

Once you have had Italian food from the New York area, nothing else seems to compare. Occasionally you will find a transplant who brought the skill with them but it is rare. I did find a good Italian restaurant on the south end of Clearwater Beach at the end of a strip mall right before you go over the bridge but I am not sure if they are still there. There is a place here that has a genuine pizzaiolo, studied in Italy. The real deal is hard to find, most pizza in the U.S. is *******ized anyway. |

Costco has a new pizza out that is superb. Deep dish, lots of cheese and sausage. They're 'loaded' pizza is as good as I've had anywhere. Of course, I don't live in southern Maryland.

John (Gun Nut) H. As Greg said, American pizza has about as much to do with pizza in Italy as Taco Bell has to do with real Mexican food. I've had Italian pizza, in Italy. It sucked. What pizza somebody likes is purely subjective. Probably an inclination to prefer what you grew up with. Mozarella mostly comes from the same few cheesemakers. Not much difference. It's a mild cheese, and if you notice it's sub-par, it's probably a bad texture/stretch. Then crust. Again, different people like different crusts. No figuring. Deep dish/thin. Different strokes. I'm mostly a sauce guy. Most important single element to me. All else equal, it's the sauce that says to me this is good pizza, or this is a lousy pizza. |

None were as good as the Costco pizza. In fact, none came close. John (Gun Nut) H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |
