LOCAL, as in your neighborhood. We may travel there. We may find ourselves stranded there. We may find ourselves drunk and just dieing for a slice of pizza to sustain life. Where do I get that slice in your neighborhood?

Joe's Pizza and Pasta Located in Fort Worth at I-35W and Sycamore school road. Every other pizza place in Cowtown is named Joe's (Just as they are all named "Rays" in New York), but this one is the best, IMNSHO. Joe's Pizza

I've lived in New York - city and the rest of the state - for a lot of my life and I never heard of a pizza place called Rays. Doesn't mean they don't exist. But I have never seen one. But in Fort Worth, Texas, I hear Joe's is the place to go!

Wikipedia entry on Ray's Pizza. Of course, every single one claims they are the original.

Well...I was born and raised in Brooklyn - Flatbush avenue, six blocks up from Coney island. Still never heard of a Ray's Pizza. But I left in the late 60's. There is a pizza place on virtually every corner though.

You can get good pizza in any of the five boroughs.
The best is the closest to your house or work.
CEJ what part of Flatbush ave is six blocks from Coney Island? |

Okay, perhaps a few more than 6 blocks - Quentin, Avenue R area. So 15 blocks. When you are a kid it seems shorter. |

The notion that the quality of pizza is based on geography is silly. The notion that a slice of pizza at an Esso station in Melfi is going to be better than anything in the US is obviously false. The best pizza I ever had was at a coal fired pizzeria in Milan, but there are half a dozen places in the Bay Area that are very close.
Rolled Greek square cut, Chicago deep dish, Hand tossed coal fired thin crust, Wood fired chewy crust. Picking one over the other is a bit like comparing Mozart to Led Zeppelin.
My favorite 4 in the East bay
Gioia Pizza A thin crust with some very California toppings- who knew radicchio worked so well?
The Cheese Board hippy fascist collectivist smugness, but a nice chewy crust.
Zachary's It isn't really Chicago style, it may not be pizza, but the stuffed spinach pie is a thing of beauty.
Arizmendi Bakery Basically the Cheese Board-the next generation- Nicer place nicer people, same single choice and almost as good quality.
Pizzaiolo Artisenal wood fired deliciousness, pricey but worth it as a treat.
And my only one across the bridge because there is no good rolled square cut in the east bay, Golden Boy Pizza which has gone from hole in the wall to nearly toxically trendy, but if the clam and garlic pizza is there, I just can't help myself. |

Here in Ambridge, PA, we have a place technically called "Pizza House," but it's much better known as "Police Station Pizza" or even just "Police Pizza." The shop is located in the same building as a former police station, hence the name.
It's take-out only. When you go in, there will be a group of people waiting for orders, in no particular order. One of the guys behind the counter will yell back at you, "How many!?" And you can let him know how many slices you want. The guys that run the counter are like Rain Man. They somehow manage to remember the quantity of everyone's orders well before they actually fill them.
The slices are unique and very thick... two of them will fill you up just fine. The best way to get them is with "extra unmelted cheese," which is very generously applied!
Great. Now I'm hungry for pizza... |

And while I'm at it... if you're ever back in my hometown of Punxsutawney, PA, there's a place called Laska's Pizza that's a local favorite. Actually, some people love it, and some people hate it... it has a very unique taste. It's very thin, and a single person can easily finish a 12" pizza singlehandedly.
What's interesting about it (to me, anyway!) is that the shop is actually my grandmother's old house. After my grandmother died, it was turned into the pizza shop. They completely renovated the house, obviously, but they kept her old stone fireplace in the livingroom... which is now their dining room. It's very odd for me to go to their dining room and see my grandmother's old fireplace in there when everything else around it has been changed! |

Well, in my town, there is a location for any kind of pizza your heart could desire.
So, I'll take you out of town, slightly north, to Petaluma where the delights of Dempsey's await you.
If you are ever lucky enough to get to this place, try the Thin Fried Onion Rings (a whole onion, sliced, fried and somehow sort of reassembled), and then the Red Rooster Pizza or any one of the others, along with a nice cool draft beer of your choice. And do they have choices.
I make it a point to 'get lucky enough' two or three times a year now. It'll do--oh, yes. |

| Seriously Alice, you live in the city that has a food truck that made Zagat's best Pizza in the US list and you drive to Petaluma for your happy pie? OK, now I have to check it out. |

Weird, isn't it. Yeah, I like the drive.
But now, I'll look for the behemoth, here in town, too.

This is definitely a "watched" thread! I Love Pizza!
OK, In Scranton, Pennsylvania: By the way...when you buy pizza in Scranton you get a "tray" of pizza
Maroni's on Saint Ann's Street
Pizza House on Court street
Greenridge Pizza on Boulevard Ave
Right outside of Scranton there is a town called Old Forge (just google Old Forge and pizza comes up immediatly)..it's the unnoficial pizza capital of the world. There are a ton of places but two of my favorites are:
Arcaro & Genell's on Main Street
Anthony's on Main Street
Last but not least in Philadelphia there is Pietro's on the 200 block of South Street. Coal oven pizza that is awesome...I highly recomend the sausage pesto pizza!!
