I will keep that in mind whenever I return to New York.

Thank you for the information, daprophecy.

Went to Forno Rosso Pizzeria in Chicago a week ago on a Flyertalk DO. They do Neapolitan Style Pizza and it's just delicious.

Pizza with prosciutto and arugula. Prices were very reasonable too.

Looks nice, but do you slice it at the table or what?

I love that style of crust, but rarely do I see it loaded with the meat and other toppings I want for a filling meal. Fine for a snack though.:)

I was there too. And I sat next to that pizza pictured above.

Charlie was a great guy too! It was a pleasure meeting you!


I had a carbonara pizza.
Tomato sauce, , fresh mozzarella, pancetta, egg, cracked black pepper. I am a Chicago raised boy and was surprised at how good this one was. But then I have learned not to worry when Willie throws a Chicago DO. Its top shelf.

the pie was already sliced, it just needed a little coaxing.


We also shared this....
Salumi Misto
Assortment of Italian meats,cheeses and Castlevetrano Olives. Now that was killer!!

The pleasure was all mine! And as to the slicing...couldn't have said it better myself!

Finally got to Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix. I don't know if it was the best pizza ever, but it was pretty close. We had the Wiseguy (wood-roasted onion, smoked mozzarella, fennel sausage - no tomato sauce) and the Margherita. I think a good test of a pizza place is their Margherita. If you can do simple well, you're off to a good start. I could have eaten a bowl of that tomato sauce. I can't wait to go back and try other varieties.

What I wasn't ready for was the flourless chocolate cake - maybe the best I've ever had, in a pool of creme Anglaise. Out of three of us, no one wanted dessert but me. I had to fight them off. Unfortunately, the waitress brought three forks. :(

Glad to see CMK10 & Ceres enjoyed Forno Rosso!! a way to find places that prepare that style of crust is listed in the first post of this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/commu...-feb-28-a.html
-darn efficient wait staff !!agreed! Glad you got there^ Did you try Chris Bianco's sandwich place yet?

No, I'm lucky I got any non-spring training ballpark food! :)

Yeah, Pane Bianco is also worth doing. Here's a review of mine from two years ago: http://offbeateats.org/2012/08/pane-bianco-phoenix-az/

And wasn't he great in Clerks and Clerks 2? :D :D :D

Buddy's pizza in detroit is a classic and still great

There used to be a place in Burr Ridge, IL (Chicago Suburbs) had great pizza, now its called Capri Express and not as good.

For thin crust, I do love Jet's

I am a sucker for Costco's cafe pizza generally.....

Best Pizza Places in the USA [merged threads]
 

I haven't tried Costco pizza lately. The last time I had it (perhaps the only time), I thought the crust was reminiscent of Wonder bread wadded up and baked.

Sounds about right; for a snack at events where someone else wanted quality over quantity, it's is OK and the price is right (free), but otherwise I wouldn't bother to eat it if I needed a meal or had to pay for it myself even at the cheap-by-CA-standards price at Costco for a slice.

I like Costco pizza. It's not gourmet, but I find it far FAR superior to Pizza Hut, Domino's, or any other large chain except Round Table.

I don't recall ever buying a slice though. We always get the take & bake.

What street is David's on? I couldn't find it on google.
