Top 10 Best Pizza Places in America

According To Vince Desi


My Goal Here Is To Share My 50+ years of pizza eating experiences to help visitors find new places to enjoy, avoid crappy establishments and learn what makes a great dining experience over the b.s. hype that so many places serve today.


Round: The classic round pie about 18"
Sicilian: the classic rectangle thick pie, aka 'Square'
Chicago: A round deep dish pie.
Mini Pie: Small round pie, popular over the last decade, now known as the 'Personal Pizza'; originally called 'Mini Pie', and the latest craze called Neapolitan.

1. My house: Sicilian (NYC and Tucson, AZ)
2. Di Fara: Square (Sicilian) and Round (Brooklyn, NY)

This fucking moron puts up a top 10 list of his favorite pizza joints and has 4 of the 10 to be determined? Based on his 50+ years of eating pizza and rating them he still hasn't had enough time to figure it out? And according to "his goal here" (you know cause all great food reviewers list their goals like a 14 year old giving a speech to his social studies class) his goal is to help newcomers find great places to eat and avoid hype. How the fuck is listing that you make good pizza in your house helping newcomers find a good place to get a pie? Maybe stick to what you guys know, like making games noone plays and horrible movies that can't even get into theaters.

Travel channel always has shows about the best places to eat I have to say the manchester pizza place i was at a few weeks ago was as good if not better than most spots on long island and that says a lot considering NY has some of the best pizza.

Well I have in lived in Romania for more than 10 years now, and quite frankly I've never heard of Vero Amore in Bucharest :))) But maybe I'm wrong ... we rent cars in Bucuresti to lot's of restaurants and food chains and that sometimes means lunch on the house, pizza including. Trust me the best way to find a good pizza in Bucuresti is to go to a place which is run by Italians, or go to Italy directly :P
