ROFL @ ppl saying shit like Papa Johns and Pizza Hut. Have you never had a real pizza?
Best pizza in the country: Gino's East in Chicago
Runners up include Uno's in Chicago, Lou Malnati's, and Giordano's (chains, but Chicago branch is best), depending on personal taste.
Sorry, but NY pizza > Chicago.
I've been to Uno's/Duo's like half a dozen times too.

Domino's, Cotsco, also Conni is good.
Any italian tl.netters? that would be interesting. (not saying the best pizza is in italy, but its likely that theres more places specialized on it there) Also many people don't know how the first pizzas were, they weren't round or with bigass bread, so I want to know some places that serve the original pizza!
I went to Italy when I was younger, and had genuine Italian foods for every meal. The pizza there seriously has no competition anywhere in the world. As long as you enjoy the purist toppings [ sauce, cheese, garlic ] you will be blown out of your mind.
Just as a reference in NY I've been to the actual original ray's, and some other famous places by friends when I was there.
In Chicago I've had Giordano's and one or two others.
Imo Giordano has the closest flavor to Italian pizza, which is why I was so happy/surprised when I was there and ate for the first time. Brought back memories of Italy.

Imo New York pizza is so shitty. I don't understand how there is even an argument for New York pizza. What's so great about it? It's bigger slices and more toppings? Is that seriously how you grade a pizza? Like when I ask people in real life they get all excited because you have to fold the pizza to eat it. Congratufuckinglations?

Maybe it's an opinion?
Like my opinion (when I went to Italy for a month) that true Italian food sucks shit.
And the reason why you don't like NY pizza is probably because you're used to all the bland Italian food.
Really, who the fuck wants to eat a loaf of bread with a three inch layer of uncooked mozzarella? Or "real" spaghetti with crap sauce? No thanks, I'll take my Americanized version any day.

Taste buds are stronger when you are younger but I am not quite sure how young you mean by "younger".

i make my own
and they are quite delicious
I seriously do not know any place that has 'exceptionally high quality" pizzas because i dont go out around town (im in NY, but not the city) enough, but Uno's I like. Any other place is meh; I'll eat it, but it's not anything special.

Mmm ... I like Papa John's.
When compared to other places, Papa John's has a bigger and softer crust, they give more generous toppings, and it's not all weirded out by grease: it works WITH the pizza :D
And their garlic sauce is soooooooooooooo unhealthy but sooooooooooooooooo good :drool:
edit: I'm reading all these hate posts against Papa John's but I'm not really a big pizza fan. I'd take rice and kimchi anyday -_-

Gumby's Pizza is the shit. Pokey Sticks are to die FOR!

I prefer old fashioned corner stores than large chain stores, with that being said - I think Papa John's is the best pizza accessible to most of the people.

A friend and I actually do high end pizza catering hes a multi medal winner in several pizza games.Hes gotten medals in freeestyle,biggest,fastest pizzas and in folding pizza boxes the fastes.Booth he and I have run several pizza joints.Everything from wood fired ovens to convery belt ovens.Weve done it all.
As far as the catering goes it is great goood money and easy work generally the Ice sculpting is harder than doing pizzas though not nearly as fun.
We usually do a few partys a month sometimes a few more than the one or two that always come up.Ive also had the plesure to work for the Louie Vaton people(sp?) (high end designer clothes/bags)For all the corprate heads of that company from literally all over the world bunch of snobs if you ask me.Also we have a regular gig at this rich guys house that if i had to cmpare to something its what id imagne Hugh Heffners pad while parting to be like down to the scantely clad ladys and the groto under the water fall in the swiming pool, no jokes im dead serious here.
So after all that id have to say The Pizzaiolo the catering we run. heres his myspace for those that dont ahve myspace sorry but thats all he has currently.

Funny how this came up.
I'm going with a bunch of coworkers tomorrow to this supposedly best pizza place in Brooklyn and Manhattan. It's near the Brooklyn bridge, apparently.
Also, bagels here are pretty awesome.

There was some rocket pizza place at Disneyland, "I was like $30 for pizza? This shit better be the best pizza I've ever eaten". It was.
Otherwise, Costco or Little Cesar's, cheap, tastes, good and gets me full. Omnomnomnomnomnom

I like the chain pizza places, dominoes and pizza hut, i never got to try papa johns or any other one if there is. But personally, theres a few pizza places near me that are pretty good, just the way the cook it is generalyl very good. And if you ever visit new york and end up on arthur avenue (really italian place, very good food and everything there) Theres a palce called the half moon pizzeria or something of the sort, it was voted the best pizza in nyc a few years ago, it's amazing.
And from what i hear ny has the best pizza, or atleast up there, compaired to other states. and little italy/athur avenue is like the pinnacle of good food. So it means something.
