Wait- don't give up on Houston yet for pizza! It's been YEARS but the "Ones' a Meal" place was wonderful for pizza when I was there 6 or so yrs ago. The quality may have changed since then.. I hope not it was fantastic. 812 Westheimer, AND open 24/7. I miss Houston, and this was one of my favorite places to eat. A lot of cops ate there too, always a group of them at their own table at odd hours of the night. Happy memories of Houston there.

Yellow Cab isn't just in the Philippines? Well if they are in the US, I'd deduce branches are in either or both of the two biggest "Sans" in California.

Sorry, if Pizza Hut is number three, one and two don't count.

GadgetFreak made me laff!

I think the best pizza in Chicago is my neighborhood pizza place, D'Agostino's. They've got several locations but the Wrigleyville one seems to be the best to me. Super thin crust, not quite flatbread thin though, and super fresh ingredients and toppings. They provide the pies for Wrigley during the season. Had an excellent taco pizza there just last night. YUM!!

I brought wine (topic for another thread).

Dom just keeps making whatever type of pizza my heart desired.
Not a person left hungry.

Di Fara's keeps winning all these awards. It's good for him, but bad for you since you can expect to wait 20 - 90 minutes for a slice. Tip, call a few days ahead (if they pick up), and pre-order a pie.

They have the most expensive slice in NY Five bucks, but it's worth every penny. I've been eating here on and on since he opened in the mid 60's. In those days, you could just stroll in.

Di Fara's is just a 30 - 45 minute subway ride from midtown Manhattan.

Cibo in Miami FL is by far the pizza that most resembles Italian pizza I've ever had in Florida (ie ITS AMAZING)

Uh go find Pi Pizza Truck or Pink's...if I'm feeling frisky and up for a drive I'll go out to Pizaro's...I lived in NY for 21 years and my brother runs a pizza shop in my home town...I know a few things and these above places live up to my standards

In Anaheim, CA there is great pizza at Cortina's Italian Reataurant & Deli. It's very
popular with the locals and nearby the Disney parks.

I'm sure "Potato Bacon Ranch pizza" is tasty, but NY style it will never be.
