So I make Pizza in Osaka, Japan. I will be visiting America for 1.5 months to do Pizza "research & study". I would love your input on your favorite places in these towns.
I’m pretty sure there are a lot of people who would be down for this. Just not everyone has the time or funds to do it.When are you planning to visit? I live in NYC and can def walk around the city and eat pizza with you and a group of other redditors if anyone else is interested! Feel free to DM to chat more in detail! Edit: for those living in NYC, would you attend a monthly pizza crawl? (eg: eat NYC pizza, eat at some iconic places, take a train to New haven, eat Jersey pies, etc, not just NYC pizza.). Open to your thoughts and opinions.
if you are interested in a future crawl, just comment on below on this thread and i'll be sure to tag you or dm you once it starts to get real.Chicago: Vito & Nicks for thin crust. Go to Pequod’s and get a deep dish pizza. It’s not commonly eaten by locals but if you’re making a pizza trip to Chicago you’d do yourself a disservice by not trying it.
Portland: Lovely’s 50-50 by Sarah Minnick does really great stuff, very inventive toppings. Pizza Thief is awesome, sort of a NY style, does lots of cool collaborations with brewers, cider makers, winemakers etc. Scottie’s is a great NY style. Apizza Scholls is world class and Otto’s makes a really great Neapolitan style.
NYC: Too many to name. Prince Street Pizza is my favorite. The tie-dye pizza at Rubirosa is fantastic. If you have the time, don’t miss out on going to Brooklyn. L’Industrie in Brooklyn is a must visit.
Detroit: I have the least input here but I like Niki’s in greektown or Loui’soriginal Buddy's on six Mile (the chain outposts dont have the same spark) and Cloverleaf in Eastpointe are necessary if youre trying all the originals. Loui's is my favorite of the three. Shields has been around forever too.
The best around the city for Detroit style I think are Michigan + Trumbull, and Grandma Bob's, both in Detroit and Como's in Ferndale.Portland is a great pizza town not because they have 100 places that make the same "Portland style" pizza but dozens of places that do their own takes on various regional styles.
Dimo's Apizza—Great homage to New Haven style
Ken's Artisanal Pizza—Wood Fired Neo-Neopolitain that started "craft" pizza in Portland
Apizza Scolls—Kind of a New York/New Haven Hybrid. Maybe the plutonic ideal of pizza
Lovely's Fifty Fifty—Seasonal inventive toppings, like if California Style didn't suck. This is probably the closest to a "Portland style" that exists
No Saint— Similar to a stripped down version of Lovely's, simple and beautiful pies. An underrated gem.
Ranch—Somewhere in the Detroit/Sicilian sphere, yes it comes with ranch dressing.
Paladin Pie—Vaguely Dungeons and Dragons themed wood fired Neo-neopoltian, out of a Foodcart, maybe the most "Portland"
Dove ViVi—A nice take on SF style cornmeal pizza
