Overarm hair?

EWW!!

Oh Man,

Can you imagine calling in and requesting " No Arm Hair Please".

Or a Pizza Joint with a sign, We Do Not Toss or Flip, No Hair Here. However you can get Rapetti topping.

I live for Pizza and having lived in Buffalo NY for years was spoiled with their great Pizza. Having relocated to the Raleigh NC area15 years ago have not been able to find a good Pizza. Was pleasantly surprised one Sunday when a Fed Exp truck pulled up to my house and delivered 2 Pizza's and a bucket of wings from LaNova Pizza which has been mentioned in this site as being owned by a mob captain. my old buddy took mercy on me. Am hoping to make a trip to NYC within next couple years and am already working on a list. Have had Rays on Prince street before- excellent but want to try totonno's and Lombardos.

Di Fara's in Brooklyn and Anthony's in Boca Raton

Di Fara's....Is that old man there still making pizzas?.... My friends mother knew him, they came from the same town in Italy(Caserta)... You used to have to wait a hour or so to get your order. Dam good pizza tho. I wonder if the one in Las Vegas is just as good as the one in BK?

NJcapo35,

I don't know who is running the pizzeria now, I have been living in Florida since 92. Have you been there recently, is the food still good?

Here in San Francisco, my favorite is Tony's Pizza Napoletana located in North Beach on the corner of Stockton and Union st. Pricey but the clam pizza is effing unbelievable!

That's gotta be one of the things I envy most about folks in the Five Boroughs and probably Jersey too - it seems like there is a decent place to get a good slice or pie in walking distance. Tonys is VERY good for pizza and the Italian beef sandwiches are tasty too. However, I'm not able to get to North Beach every time I'm in the mood for pizza. I think that Gaspare's on Geary does a good job and Pasquales is good too and another favorite Toto's but it's too far away in San Bruno (or farther for the other locations) to make it a regular stop. If you stick with the basics Orgasmica and Extreme aren't too bad either.
Benedetto, outside of North Beach who do you think does a good job with a whole pie or slice in SF? Or even a good linguine vongole, veal parm and other dishes? I've tried just about every place in the Richmond, Sunset, Marina and have my favorites in those neighborhoods and N. Beach of course but I'm always looking for something I may have overlooked.

Hey Mikey! Yes, I agree with you on Toto's. Not a bad pie. I know we are going off topic from pizza but we are from the same area and I want to share a place with you that you may or may not know about.

It is by far the best Italian meal I have had outside of my own families kitchen.

Located in Occidental, CA about an hour and half drive up north close to the Russian River is a place called Negri's. It's a beautiful drive, antique stores to check out along the way if you like that kind of thing (my wife and I do) and the food is excellent.

Don't pay no mind to the Yelp reviews..yelpers don't know shit.

http://www.negrisrestaurant.com/

Yelp is a bit of a racket. They won't remove "negative" reviews however if you happen to purchase advertising those reviews will still be on the site but you'll need to know the name of the user who posted it and access the review from the list of that users posts. Sneaky. Plus I've seen some bad reviews for places that I go to and know are good.

Back to the food...

I haven't been up to Russian River in over a decade. When I was a kid we'd go there or Kentfield almost every other weekend starting in the spring and sometimes spend a week during summer. My uncle Bruno had a place in Kentfield he'd let my family use and another uncle Vic had a place at the river. We definitely stopped at Negris but now I need to go back. Somehow when I think about it did they have two locations in Occidental? Or was the restaurant in two buildings next to each other? Maybe I'm confusing it with a different place but I'm sure it was a place where we ate.
Also toward the coast for oysters and some cheese from the Marin Cheese Factory.

It's not really off topic since the grove is in the area and we all know that's the TRUE O.C.

You maybe thinking of the Union Hotel located right across the street from Negri's. I have never had a meal there. I stick to what I know is good and if I'm driving that far, Negri's is a sure bet. Never disappoints.

It has been awhile since the last time i was there, but i'm sure the quality is still there. For $5.00 a slice it better be!

Ate here on Sunday... good pizza in Wrigleyville!

Back on topic (finally) - I had a delicious slice at a place I had previously overlooked called Pizzeria Avellino in the Marina. It's around the corner from Liverpool Lil's and across the street from the Presidio Lombard Gate - 2769 Lombard St. Thin, crisp crust but not cracker thin like Nizario's, good amount of cheese and toppings and everything tasted fresh. I had a mushroom and pepperoni. What I liked best was the sauce. It was very similar to Toto's which I think I mentioned has my favorite pizza in the Bay Area. I'm going to have to go back with an appetite and sample a few different slices - I just stopped in for a snack on the way to Tony Niks in North Beach. It's a small place and I can see it filling up quickly at peak hours but they also have picnic tables outside. Another plus is that you can BYOB from the liquor store next door!

Krispy pizzeria on 18th ave & 66th st. And J&V on 64th st & 18th ave.

I just read a fast food rating article that listed Sbarro Pizza as one of the worst. I've never eaten there; anyone done so and how was it?

Oli,

I have had their pizza and found it to be on par with Dominos, ok in a pinch, I liked the sausage but didn't care for the sauce.

Sbarro pizza: I thought i read somewhere that Funzi Tieri was cousins with the owners of Sbarro's. Does anyone know if that was true or not?.... I know the Genovese's were shaking them down for decades tho.... Thanks in advance

I'm not a fan of Sbarro.

I had Sbarros twice, both times on an interstate in PA. It wasn't too good, but I just couldn't wait to get back up to NY to get the real thing. Just today my wife got an e mail from an Italian friend who was in Alabama and there was a photo of the pizza she got- she said it was one of the best ever.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - The New Jersey Turnpike Authority wants a Florida pizza shop to pay a big toll for using a logo similar to the Garden State Parkway's green and yellow signs.

The agency sued Jersey Boardwalk Pizza Tuesday in federal court over the logo it uses for its two pizza shops and on merchandise sold online. It said in the suit that the company is trying to trade upon the fame of the Garden State Parkway logo to attract customers and potential franchisees.

Very good site about Chicago pizza...

We ate at Grimaldi's, on the 16th Street Mall in Denver, last year. Pretty damn good.

are you still in NC?

Holy Moses, this is Outstanding.

Really cool, thanks for the share Mark.

I am going to see if anyone I know has a box from UMBERTO'S in Brooklyn to send them or if this has been done in NY.

love it.

You sure must miss NY pizza. They opened up a Grimaldi's in El Segundo, near LAX. I need to try it. But I'd honestly rather fly to NY to eat pizza than drive to LA

AG,

When I watched Sanford and Son as a kid, he used to mention the city El Segundo, and I thought it was a made up name.




Does anybody here know or remember a Pizza place located in Manhattan called ....I'm pronouncing it phonetically "Day-O-Fon's" .

A buddy brought some pizza from there over to a house party we attended near Washington Heights....and it was the BEST pizza I've ever had in my life, and there are/were some GREAT pizza places all across NJ.

I never went there, but the pizza was so good, that I had 3 slices almost 20 years ago and I still remember the name of the place.

Day-O-Fons or Day-O-Fonz
