I started making pizza with my great-grandma when I was 4 years old. She always put it in the rectangular pans. I was always told if it's square it's called grandma style. Everything else is called a slice. Before I leave to go to JFK, I always go to New Park Pizza in Howard Beach since it's right near the airport. I bring a whole pie on the plane. Eat a slice, bring the rest home. As soon as I get a kiss hello from my kids they ask if I brought home any pizza  This weekend my kid and I had TJ's Woodfire Pizza. Good stuff. Closest to NY pizza you can get out here in So Cal *Note: New Park isn't the best in NY, just most convenient to bring home for me. Still it's good pizza and better than anything I can get in Calif.

Pittsburgh’s culinary reputation continues to rise. The Steel City locked up the No. 5 spot in the “The Best Cities for Pizza Lovers — 2017 Edition,” according to a new study by SmartAsset.
SmartAsset, a New York City-based finance technology company, assessed Pittsburgh as “the most affordable pizza town in our study.” The ’Burgh boasts more than 270 pizza places with about 16 percent of these ranking above 4.4 stars out of a total of 5 stars on Yelp, a crowd-sourced reviewing platform.
Pittsburgh’s pizza falls a few points behind — ranked from first to fourth — Detroit; Buffalo, NY; New York City and Vancouver, Wash. The ’Burgh beat out Peoria, Ariz., a suburb of Phoenix, for the No. 5 spot.

"Best pizza" depends on who makes it, and the ingredients used, not on geography. The best pizza I ever had was at pizzerias in Virginia Beach VA and San Juan Puerto Rico. Here we are protected, free to eat our pizza without Kefauver, the goddamn Justice Department and the F.B.I. ninety miles away, in partnership with a friendly pizzeria. Ninety miles! It's nothing! Just one small step, looking for a man who wants to be President of a pizzeria, and having the cash to make it possible. Turnbull, we're bigger than Pappa John's!

My sixth sense tells me you brought a large Sicilian pie with anchovies and mushrooms. Where is it? Big deal. With HIS sixth sense he sees dead people.

That pizza -- in the box in your room. I'm going in to take a nap -- when I wake, if the pizza's on the table, I'll know I have a dinner partner -- if it's not, I'll know I don't. There was this kid I grew up with; he was older than me. Sorta looked up to me, you know. We did our first work together, worked our way up 86th street. Things were good, we made the most of it. During Prohibition, we ran mozzarella into Canada... made a fortune, your father, too. As much as anyone, I loved him and trusted him. Later on he had an idea to build a pizza garden out of a stop-over for GI's on the way to Avenue X. That kid's name was SC, and the place that he invented was L&B Spumoni Gardens. This was a great man, a man of vision and guts. And there isn't even a plaque, or a signpost or a statue of him in L&B! Someone put a pepperoni on his pie. No one knows who placed the order. When I heard it, I wasn't angry; I knew SC, I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, loving his plain L&B sicilian pie. So when he showed up with a pepperoni on his pie , I let it go. And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen; I didn't ask who placed the order, because it had nothing to do with the pizza business!

VITO CORLEONE:
Santino? Whattaya think?
SONNY:
There's a lot of money in that pizza delivery.
VITO CORLEONE:
Tom?
TOM:
Well, I say yes. There's more money potential in delivery than anything else we're looking at. Now if we don't get into it, somebody else will. Maybe one of the Five Franchises, maybe all of them. Now with the money they earn, they can buy more mozzarella and sausage; then they come after us. Now we have the flour, we have the tomatoes; an' they're the best things to have. But home pizza delivery is a thing of the future. An' if we don't get a piece of that action, we risk every pizzeria we have -- I mean not now, but ah ten years from now.
SONNY:
So, what's your answer gonna be, Pop?

Vito: When -- when did I ever refuse a topping? All of you know me here -- when did I ever refuse? -- except one time. And why? Because -- I believe this pineapple business -- is gonna destroy us in the years to come. I mean, it's not like pepperoni or sausage -- even prosciutto -- which is something that most people want nowadays, and is forbidden to them by the pezzonovante of the Church on Fridays. Even the delicatessens that've helped us in the past with salami and other things are gonna refuse to help us when in comes to pineapple. And I believed that -- then -- and I believe that now.
