Only pepperoni or plain cheese for me! And a good crispy NY style thin crust. Mmmmmmmmmm

 

Pizza. The sole reason I've been a fat ass for the vast majority of my life.

Here's my top 5.

1. Leone's (Somerville, MA) - Picture attached
The GOAT.
Sicilian style.
They've been in the same spot for 70 years and are one of the last remnants of the Somerville I grew up in, before the hipsters took it over.
They open at 8AM every day, they don't deliver & they only take cash.
Also, if you're ever there, get a meatball sub.
They hand roll their meatballs every day & pack them into a Piantedosi sub roll.
(Homer Simpson drool)

2. La Pizza Di Forno (Haverhill, MA)
This quickly became a favorite after moving to Haverhill at the end of 2021, partially because it's literally the only good pizza in Haverhill & partially because it's my #2 style after Sicilian - good, old fashioned, brick oven style.

3. Dino's Brick Oven (Wakefield, MA)
Lived off of this when I lived in Reading from 2016 to 2021.

4. Sally's (Woburn, MA)
Of the New Haven style choices, Sally's is easily my favorite. I've yet to make the pilgrimage to New Haven proper, but as soon as Sally's came up this way, I was hooked.

5. Joanie's (Chelmsford, MA)
You've probably heard Dave Portnoy call this the best pizza in MA. It's certainly in the conversation. Easily one of the best New York style pies I've ever had.

 

Motor City Pizza Company pepperoni deep dish.

 

Just a little bit of a drive for me

 

It was rare to turn down free pizza of different toppings but pepperoni is by far my favorite

 

Looks undercooked

 

Sheet pan pizza!!
Italian sausage n cheese

 

NGL this wasn't the best pizza ever
BUT it was way better than any store bought crap or any fast/food delivery crap
It was pretty simple to make
And it is definitely pizza
I am gonna freeze some of it and see how it does as back/up

I made it as an experiment - mostly because I got most all the ingredients [sans flour] free from work
So there was no way I could lose

This is where I got it from:

 

Yall gotta check out the baking steel! It’s amazing for home cooked za

 

Same here - I like to keep it skint.
Especially if it's the first time I'm trying a new place? Absolutely - I will get cheese/the basic option first to see what they got before I load it up. I'm a 2-topping-max kinda guy though (but, I will count peppers and onions as one topping, if combined with something else).

Have I already had this conversation with you?
Not sure where in Nowheresville you are. But this place....For being in the woods, by a gas station, in (what I also consider) Nowheresville....Blew me away.

I'll have to check them out. I never had luck with stones, they were too thin and you had to preheat them for like an hour, in stages, so they didn't crack. I just never thought they were worth the hassle. Steel looks like it might help that issue...

 

Switched to that years ago, thats where its at!

 

Grilled BBQ chicken za on the baking steel

 

Tried the new costco (at least at my costco) sheet pan pizza. Did not disappoint! Really tasty!

 

I'll have to check for it next Costco visit. Looks good.

 

Box mix wheat keto crust, thick cut pepperoni, bacon crumbles and caramelized onion, banana peppers and jalapeno.

Dino's pizza , Newport News Va.

 

What's everyone's brand preference for yeast? I bought fleischmann's active dry yeast and King Arthur 00 pizza flour, but the dough didn't rise.
I'm guessing the yeast was bad or the luke warm water temp I used wasn't correct?

edit: It did chill in the fridge over night and then sit on the counter for an hour, but no luck.
