speaking of "pie" ....so many people in this country are not familiar with a "hot pie" as we used to call it...

it was never pizza....it was always "hot pie"....

anyone else from back east remember that?

I’ll take Modern over the other more popular places ANY DAY!!

I don’t like burnt pizza. If I want charcoal, I’ll eat charcoal.

Get the bomb pizza at modern. You’re welcome.

Pepe's is still mostly in CT. They have opened multiple locations there since the original New Haven site including Mohegan Sun casino.

I favor their white clam.

Ronald Reagan went there at least once.

Ozone Pizzeria, under the EL in Queens has without a doubt the best Sicilian Pizza that exists.

https://www.facebook.com/Ozone-Pizzeria-117825134910781/

The crust is puffy and crisp on the bottom, light mozzarella under the sauce and parmesan on top.

We’ve been in Pennsylvania for 12 years now. We always pick up a few of their Sicilian pies to bring home and freeze when we get into NY. Only problem is parking there.

With all respect to the tasty pizza I’ve had in Chicago, the reason it’s called the windy city is because of all the hot air blown around about it. New York pizza is found worldwide. Chicago?

one across from Pace is made by italian sons of italian mother who USED to make them with her sons.

they are huge slices, excellent sauce and cheese, doughy crust, but not too doughy and one slice is all you need.

joe and pats on staten island. remember my cousin working there for 1.25 an hour 35 years ago :)

thin, flaky, hard bread, not the best tasting sauce and sskimpy on the cheese

I haven’t been in NYC since 1989. But back then, Original Ray’s pizza was the best. 2 slices on 2 plates,$4.00.

I remember in the early 19780’s it was often “pizza pie”, but also just usually “pizza”.

“The best Pizza is from Chicago. “

That ain’t pizza, it is a casserole!

We middle-westerners don't much like New York-style pizza. Different seasonings in the sauce, even the sausage is seasoned and ground differently.

Chicago is the BEST source of delicious pizzas of all kinds...and also Italian Beef sammiches. And here I am living in Florida...gastronomical gloom! New York pizza is rife here, what with all the NY city retired transplants living here in this state.

Thank heavens, Publix is finally stocking Home Run Inn Pizza, the very best of all the frozen pizza pies in the supermarkets.

Home Run Inn pizzas are manufactured in a plant in Chicago and there's also a plant in the city's western suburb of Woodridge near where I lived years ago in an adjoining community.

There's a Home Run Inn inn near Woodridge (Downers Grove) where you can go to dine in homey surroundings and luxuriate in consuming their pizzas right out of their brick ovens.

Home Run Inn, Inc...locally operated...CEO is Joe Perrino...Operations Chief is Dan Costello....Director is Jeannette Davila....how could their product NOT be good, LOL !!!

One or more of their pizzas are always in my freezer. When I have guests I add another generous sprinkling of my own Mozzarella cheese to the top....then I bake it and serve it to guests and it's SO good they all rave about it.

Bon appetit!

Bay Pizza. It wasn’t directly under the train. I honestly do not know. Haven’t been back to Brooklyn in a few years. Last time I was there I did go Spumoni Gardens, as well as Brennan & Carr and Nathans.

Yes, it was a food day for me.

I like thin crust with a little bit of a crisp bite, so that eliminates a lot of the “foldable” NY Pizza. One exception is Chicago’s Gino East Deep dish, yum. But being from Cali it is a rare treat, with no plans to get back to Chicago ever.

” Publix is finally stocking Home Run Inn Pizza”

Just say this brand in my So Cal Walmart today. But it was in the refrigerated deli section, not frozen. They must make it locally to get away with fresh?? I'll definitely be checking that out sooner than later.

“Bon appetit!”

Yikes, living here in Chicagoland (western suburb), I am now dying for a pizza and I’m hungry, and I don’t have one. Nothing beats a good Chicago pizza. Well, I can dream....

BAR on Crown Street does the New Haven style magnificently. I think they stole a cook or two from Sally’s at twice the pay.
