QOTD:
Grimaldi’s Brooklyn pie with sausage, garlic, anchovies, fresh tomatoes and a sprinkle of Parmesan (no motz.). There is a reason people wait three hours for a Grimaldi’s pie.

QOTD: Ok, pizza really needs to be from the Northeast. I really like pepperoni and black olives. Or black olives with onions. Mmmm…and some garlic too. Broccoli pizza is delicious as well. Now, I really want some pizza!

QOTD: I’m a pepperoni guy. I sometimes pick, sometimes eat straight-up. But always with crushed red pepper and Parmesan cheese.

As far as best Pies, its all about New JERSEY (note I did not say New York) style. Benny Tudino’s in Hoboken has the best. Still nothing can compare to a good wood fired pie in Italy. Fresh Buffalo Mutz’ with prosciutto or “the evil eye” with spicy pepper, and a sunny side egg cooked right in the center. Thats good pizza!

QOTD: Gimme a slice with chopped sausage from the local pizza shop, OR I’ll order a Meat Lover’s pie with some crushed pineapples for sweetness.

Darlene: I know what you are talkin about – I just *walk* by a pizza place and I gain 7 pounds…

Primarily the reason why I’ve weaned myself off of it – but if I do have it – I like it Napoli style – simple/clean pizza margherita with tomatoes, basil and a little bit of cheese – super super thin crust.

Nice ep Gary. Looks like you have new lighting too – lookin good Jersey boy…

I respectively want #10 responder to send me a thank you note because I purposely passed on responding when I would have been #8. It seems to matter so much to some of you so have fun. I had tuned to the new episode after re-watching episode 313 because I had just received my shipment of Berco do Infante and had cracked a bottle. First Gary, you may be attaining Seinfeld status by being better in reruns than you were in the original airing. Second, thanks for the tip. You’re right, it isn’t the best wine I’ve ever had, but kind of amazing for $5. Really, really, really enjoyed the joy of that episode. Thanks.

How old is that pie? It looks like you found it next to the Simpsons cup.

QOTD: Onions. Sometimes bacon and onions, but I love onions.

good show again, GV.

There is a wine that Albertson’s carries called The Contortionist by Sideshow (GSM blend from OZ) that’s $6 ad is an incredible pizza match.

QOTD: Anything from the greatest pizza place in the world – Fleur de Lis – http://www.fleurdelispizza.com/

It might be as good as LSU football…

Pepperoni and Sausage – all day

But, when in Europe, I love the super thin crust pizza with cheese, basil, tomatoes, ham, and top it off with an egg in the middle – the best!

I used to enjoy a nice NY style thin crust pizza.
They don’t make it anymore. At least I have not found some in a while.
Ray’s Pizza ruined everything….. Everyone started copying thick chewy with minimal flavor.
