The best pizza is found from around Boston, down to about Baltimore.
It's about mineral content found in the water used in making the crust. For decades there have been innumerable taste tests, with these areas always coming in first.
The same reason you find the good, crusty sub rolls, Italian bread, baguettes, and Kaiser rolls there.

I went to college in New Orleans and remember Cicero's as well.
1 large pepperoni pizza, a bottle of Crystal hot sauce, two Buds and two Barq's.
Great memories.

I was born and raised in the Boston area and there are some fantastic pizza places in and around town. But the the best I've ever had is in CT & NY…….
Frank Pepe & Sally's in New Haven, CT and Lombardi's in NYC. Just incredible.

I knew I shouldn't have read this thread. Haven't had pizza in almost two years.
Little lady can't eat it so I can't have it. 
I told her just eat the goodies off it and leave the crust, she say's no
. Man what I would give for a everything including the kitchen sink pizza.

-We have a local pizza shop near me that I grew up eating. Penso's Pizza in Dover, Ohio. That is the pizza that all other are judged by for me. They must be doing it right. Been in business since 1936, don't open until 4pm, and only take cash or check. And if you don't call within about 30 minutes of them opening, you're usually looking at an hour wait to get your pizza. Still worth every delicious bite!

I don't like ANYTHING from Chitcago, much less that weird doughy pie/casserole dish they call pizza.
New Yuck isn't much better, but I love a slice of NY style pizza.
Sadly around here, the best pizza comes from a mini mart, Casey's.

I guess it's at least pizza, more or less, something you can't say of Dominoes. Still, I never eat there and don't like their pizza.
When I wanted to eat bad pizza, I went to Ce Ce's. It was bad, but unlike Pizza Hut, it was all cheap and all you could eat. Unfortunately, the one close to me closed, and they're not worth driving any distance for.
Donato's around here used to be good. The one up the road from me steadily went downhill then closed.
My favorite pizza in NE Ohio is Angelo's on Madison in Lakewood. They've got great pizza. Not cheap though.
The best pizza I've ever had came from a place in Manhattan, Kansas. Those of us who'd had it during ROTC advanced camp, literally fought over the privilege of driving from Fulton, Missouri to Ft. Riley to return a friend's lost keys, just for the opportunity to have some.
Growing up in Detroit my favorite was and still is Buddy's Pizza.

The last two Dominoe's pizzas I had made me as sick as if I'd drunk water out of a Korean rice paddy. That was over ten years ago and I haven't had one since. Don't plan to have another in the future.
As far as I'm concerned, Pizza Hut is bad pizza. Dominoe's isn't pizza AT ALL, just mouse feces on layered cardboard, ketchup and candle wax.
Did they have to deliberately have to deform that pizza to fit into an EZ Bake Oven or what?
Actually, I'd give that thing a try in a heart beat!
That is actually the best pizza I have ever had. Well I have had better in Chicago but I try to not admit that I have ever been there, lol.

You guys with that "deep dish" stuff give me a good chuckle.
Deep dish isn't pizza.
That's a simple fact, no need to debate it.
That's like trying to call a blueberry pie a pizza just because it's round with triangular slices...
You need to be able to fold the slice in half...
Oh, and square.... Barely pizza
