I'm from metro NY and went on vacation to Tucson. They have a big ole place called Brooklyn Pizza. Was it good? eh! Was it real New York pizza? Fuck No! My point: theres no NY pizza out side of NY. There's some dude around San Fran with a NY Italian deli who insists all New Yorkaz eat their sandwiches dripping in mayo, and he makes a killing from people dumb enough to think they're eating real NYC style sandwiches. I don't figure that people in the rest of the US will think Dominoes got it spot on, but if they enjoy the freakin apizza pie let them pay the money to the corporation and eat the greezy thing.
And Front_Towards_Enemy: if a Mass bar pizza is anything like the shit they serve in RI then your tongue deserves a road trip to New Haven or NYC.

Dude, also: Gino's East.

Actually, though, my all-time favorite Chicago style pizza is from this little restaurant in Hyde Park where my boyfriend used to work, Caffe Florian -- they use a very similar crust recipe to Gino's East (I think one of the cooks used to work there) but to me it tastes better.

Art of Pizza is really good as well -- that's probably my second favorite. But Gino's East is a close third & they're better-known than the other two.

I am so glad somone mentioned Beau Jo's! That is by far the best pizza I have ever had (though Zachary's in Berkeley runs a close second). Any time I am in Colorado, I try to hit up a Beau Jo's. New Yorkers can keep their pizza.

"Giordano's, Nancy's, Uno's, now that's pizza.

Besides, no one goes to Domino's for an authentic culinary experience...it is akin to going to Panda Express to experience China."

Giordano's... *droooooool* Broke my REAL pizza cherry on that stuff As far as I'm concerned, it's the finest substance ever to grace the face of this planet.

And amen to the rest of the comment as well.

I'm with Michael Scott, in Times Square, from "The Office":

"And now I'm going to go across the street and get a slice of my favorite New York style pizza."

And of course he goes into a Sbarro's.

Gimme some old school sourdough a la Toto's

Somebody (online, of course) once dismissed my town because they asked for directions to a good barbecue place and they were sent to a gas station.

My response was "Well, you wanted good barbecue, right? That's where it is."

But I won't get offended if some fool restaurant chain offers barbecue. I know the real deal when I have it. I figure the same goes with pizza.

My favorite Domino's Pizza is the Randall Terry: thin crust, extra sauce, extra mozzarella and spiced bits of ground-up clinic doctor generously sprinkled on top.

When I first saw this ad, I knew it wouldn't be long before the shouting started.

BTW, The best Pizza on the planet is the stuff up here in Massachusetts we call "bar pizza". It can be found in just about any neighborhood bar that has a pizza oven in the back. The oven has not changed in over 60 years; then again neither has the owner who's been making pies there forever. So in effect your getting the flavor of every pizza ever made in that oven.

Once you get past the "residents" on the bar stools, beautiful 10 inch pies await your tastebuds......*slobber*.

Pass the red-pepper flakes!

This just in...

Your local "Steak & Cheese" is not a Geno's Cheesesteak

That can of New England clam chowder? Doesn't taste the same as it does in Maine

And the pulled pork BBQ sandwich you get in Manhattan? Kansas City is laughing at you.

Wow the NY Times is really doing some incredible reporting. Domino's Brooklyn pizza isn't really the same as pizza from Brooklyn? I didn't realize that.

I can't wait for the follow-up: Taco Bell isn't the same as real Mexican Food.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
All idiots everywhere

On "Chicago Style", go to Zachary's Chicago Style Pizza in Oakland or Berkeley in the SF Bay Area. Better pizza than the "chicago" pizza you get in chicago.

Lou Malnati's .... drooooooool ....

Also, this is why I hate New Yorkers: "But anyone in the Midwest who thinks this is real Brooklyn is getting fooled," -- yes, because ALL OF US IN THE MIDWEST are too stupid to know that Domino's is not haute cuisine. Like, we've never seen how they abused our Chicago pizza and we have NO IDEA they might similarly abuse other regional pizza specialties.

I'm now going to assume Domino's Brooklyn pizza IS real Brooklyn pizza JUST TO PISS OFF NEW YORKERS.

As long as you mean the Uno's as in the Uno's and Due's, not Uno's as in the crap you find in malls throughout the country. Two separate stores.
And you can't beat a deep dish The Lou with the butter crust.

What gets me is that in the article, to demonstrate "real" Brooklyn pizza, they showed that horrible brick oven shit with the burnt crust and bubblegum fresh mozzarella and three pieces of pepperoni covering the whole thing with lumps of undercooked lumpy oddly textured sauce.

Frankly, I've had that stuff and it sucks. From everywhere. Brooklyn included.

I grew up in Brooklyn. Brooklyn Pizza looks just like Manhattan Pizza looks just like Queens Pizza, looks just like Bronx Pizza (note I didn't mention Staten Island; most of their pizza sucks). If they want to hold up that crap with the plastic cheese and fingerpaint sauce as their ideal slice, give me a Dominos pie any day.
