I like home-made pizza.  I am partial to white pizza with veggies, though I love meat toppings as well.  I think my favorite would be white pizza with spinach, tomato and fresh mozzarella.

Mmm, homemade pizza.

I tried it before with my homemade sauce, pepperoni and Mozarella cheese. Oh it's heaven. :D

I once liked Papa John's and Pizza hut pizza but once I tried a pizza from this restaurant called Bruno's I fell in love and just can't go back. It's supposed to be the original Italian pizza cooked in a brick oven fresh ingredients and pizza crust. The crust I enjoy the most, its thin with a fairly thick edge of crust and the sauce is really good and I enjoy all the toppings my favorite is onion, mushroom, ham, sausage and cheese. m..m..m..yum.

I like pizza best when it's homemade, cooked on the grill. My favorite toppings are tomatoes, but I like just about every vegetable on it, except pineapple and banana peppers. I even like peanut butter on it occassionally! (Don't knock it til you try it!)

There's a little place a couple blocks from where I work called Panteloene's that serves up the best pizza west of NYC.

It must be about lunch time, cuz I'm startin to drool just thinkin about it.

ooh I love Vincent's and Ferraras!  must plan a Little Italy trip soon!

The pizza that we have here at the Jersey Shore is pretty darn good.  My understanding is that it is the same as NY pizza as the people just moved further south to here.

I cannot stand Domino's, Papa John's, or any frozen pizzas.  To me, they just aren't real pizza.  Pizza Hut's isn't either, but I like it as an entirely separate entity.  I don't consider it to be good pizza but I do enjoy one of their deep-dish concoctions every few years. 

If we aren't ordering in from an independent pizzeria, then I just make my own.  Tonight we had a white pie topped with broccoli and swiss chard sauteed in garlic and olive oil.  Yum!

If you go to Vincent's please bring me back some rigatoni and sausage with hot sauce....please!!!!  LOL!

I live a handful of towns south of you for the last 4 years, and I'm sorry, but you just can't compare the pizza here to the City. It's similar, but just not the same.  I heard of a place in Barnegat that is supposed to have really good brick oven pizza but we haven't gotten up there yet.

I love home made pizza. Either plain or with veggies.

I'm a Chicago lad and I've never had pizza in NY, so I'm going to favor my hometown pizza.  :)  The thing is I prefer thin crust (though I love Giordano's stuffed) cut into squares not wedges.

Sausage and onion is my favorite topping combination.

Wasn't Chicago one of the first places to introduce deep dish pizza?

the simplest pepperoni:))

I believe so.  Chicago is famous for its deep dish (aka stuffed) pizza.

That's it. It's happened again. I am now craving pizza. As soon as (my) Kevin feels better, I'm making some.

Oh no, this Kevin is sick too.  Best wishes to yours.

I can also vouch for NY pizza. My fave is a white pizza with broccoli and garlic. Thin crust preffered.

St. Louis style thin crust...load it up with everything, including anchovies.  The reason N.Y. loves Italian food is because a lot of it is trucked in from St. Louis - FACT!  Check out any restaurant of "The Hill".

I haven't had pizza in New York before, but the best pizza I've ever had was New York Style pizza. I can only assume is comes close to the real thing.

Unfortunately, I must have picked the wrong restaurant, the one and only time I was in Chicago. I always heard how incredible their pizza was. But, the one I ordered was not very impressive.

Did any of you ever see the movie Mystic Pizza that was filmed in Mystic, Connecticut?  I went to the restaurant that was featured in that movie... and the pizza was truly amazing. That was about 15 years ago, so I don't know if the restaurant is even still there.

I don't know about that.....my favorite place makes all his own dough, cheeses, sauces and grows his own spices.  Maybe for the commercial kind it's trucked in.

Yes it's still there.  My grandparents didn't live far from Mystic, so we went there often, but I never had the pizza there.

That's great. It's a beautiful area (with all the large ships, etc.). I'd love to go back again... on a side note, some of the best clam chowder I've ever had was also in Mystic ;-)
