Welcome to the Pizza Page. My mission is to document the Pizza's of the World on this page.

 

As I am vegetarian, I normally choose the Margarita Pizza. I also like it as it is quite simple,

traditional and full of Pizza flavor with out any distractions.

I got the Margarita Pizza here, and it was just INCREDIBLE!!! It was not the
"Deep Dish Chicago" style, instead, it was quite the traditional Italian style, baked
in a Brick Oven. The taste was great, incredible cheese and a good crust. Not as
thin as a real Italian pizza, but still very good. It was not the best Pizza I've had
but VERY CLOSE! I highly recommend it to everyone. This pizza is one of the
Best of the BEST!

Another cool story, as I was leaving, I saw a cute little boy looking into the kitchen
seeing his pizza being made. Just something cute and cool about it. Reminded me
of the days long ago, when my parents used to take me to Noble Romans and they
had a place you could watch your pizza being made. My eyes would be glued to
the window, with my mouth watering, just waiting to finally taste the pizza.
Oh I love a good pizza!

We had a thin crust pizza here, and it was BAD!! It's supposed to be one of Chicago's
best pizza, but we hated it! Maybe the Deep Dish was better, but I doubt it, since the
Pizza dough and crust was bad! My friend Safety J had an interesting conversation with
them as we were leaving.

Safety J: "How do you make the crust here?"
Cashiere: "Oh, we have a secret recipe that is made somewhere else, and sent to
all the restuarants" (She was thinking he liked the pizza"
Safety J: "Well, I really didn't like it, I'm from Colorado, and I don't know what it is
but this pizza was just bad!"
Cashiere: "Oh, maybe it's the water here. . . ?"

So, in the end, do NOT go here, instead go to Graziano's, it's worth the drive!!

Frozen Pizza Chef Greg bakes us a couple of frozen pizzas. One from Totinos, and
another from California Pizza Kitchen. I have to admit, I really like Totinos frozen
pizza! It's not Italian, but for a dollar, it's a GREAT deal, and my favorite forzen pizza.

Banana Pizza

By Moser

 

"Given that you have a whole web page dedicated to pizza, I thought
you might be interested in the Banana pizza I had in Sweden
(Thanksgiving 2002). The pizza was quite excellent, possibly
surpassing the Margarita pizza I enjoyed in Naples, Italy.
It came
complete with a dusting of paprika to make it my most memorable pizza
to date."

Special thanks to Moser for that wonderful Pizza Experience!

Filippi's Pizza Grotto

Fine Italian Food

9995 Filippes (1) 9995 Filippes (2) 9995 Filippes (3) 9995 Filippes (4)

 

This pizza was MUCH more American Style, than "Fine Italian Food!" In fact,

the pizza was not very good, very strong, bland American flavor, and very stuffing.

 

Now what WAS Italian, was the "Mafia!" While eating here, we saw a couple

"important" guys walk in. Then, someone tells a waitress to buy this "important" guy a drink

but he refuses since he said he quit drinking. Next, the "important" guy talks to

the restaurant boss over the phone that he's sorry he was late, and he

will drop off the "envelope" with one of the guys!

 

VERY Interesting story, I hope I do not "disappear" for putting this on my

PIZZA PAGE!!!!

Room Service - Hilton Karon Beach

9997 RoomServ (1)

This pizza was quite good, especially considering that it was cheap room service and that everything

else at the Hilton Hotel in Karon Beach was very BAD, especially the service!.

Some big pieces of tomato on top, which I like time to time.

So, I recommend the room service pizza, but NOT the hotel!

Another place that claims "The Best Pizza in Town" but again, not even close. I now assume,

that if they have to say they are the best pizza in town, they can not be!

Now it was not bad, but just was not great, and definitely not the best in town.

Now THIS is the REAL BEST pizza in Macau. I'd rate this pizza 3rd to "Mr Pizza" and "Giza."

The cheese they use is very good. Being picky, I would recommend less

cheese, more tomato sauce, and make the crust a little more burnt.

BAD Pizza in Thailand!

This pizza was just HORRIBLE!! It does not even deserve to be called a pizza!

The location was close to the beach, and we went here since my friend

said it looked better than the other restaurant. The atmosphere was nice,

the food was FAR from it! The 3rd picture is just a cool picture, to

make up for the bad pizza!

I have to admit, the pizza did not look very good, but the flavor was nice. It was pre-made,

since you do buy it by the slice. Overall, not bad.

Unknown Pizza in Japan

This pizza was quite nice, although a bit too soggy with too much tomato sauce.

The cheese was real nice Mozzarella. The service on the other hand was not very good.

The restaurant was in a big shopping center,the one where you can go to the top and

see ALL of Tokyo, Sky Scrapers as far as the eye can see!

Here is a typical "Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza!" I personally prefer the Traditional

Italian style, but this is also a good pizza. As you can see, the pizza is like a

thick mess. The sauce is on top of the cheese, and not easy to eat with out tools.

I though some cool Sun Set pics of Chicago just for added coolness.

This pizza was American style, rather thick crust and pre-made. Still, it tasted

very good. It was hot, decent cheese and good spices for the sauce.

I was quite surprised by my first pizza in Japan. It was very nice, although

a little too wet with the tomato sauce and olive oil. And like many things

in Japan, overpriced compared to places like China and Thailand.

Good taste, but not enough tomato sauce, in fact, almost none.

Subway Pizza? ? ?

H Subway Pizza (0) H Subway Pizza (1) H Subway Pizza (2)

Yes, that is right, Subway (one of my favorite non-pizza restaurants) is trying out pizzas!

It was VERY good, fresh, and cheap. The crusts are pre made, and they add their

sandwich vegetables on top, and zap it for a bit. Whether you are a pizza fan, or Subway fan,

this is a must try!

This was a really nice pizza, for a good price in Tokyo, near the big major temple.

Had just a little too much Tomato Sauce, but still very good.

I hate to say it, but for the price, this pizza was quite disappointing. Tasted a bit like a Totino's Pizza

you get at Wal-Mart (Totino's is better though, since you can get the bottom a bit burnt).

This was in the best Italian Restaurant in Pallet Town in Tokyo.

Best restaurant, Bad pizza!

Quite Disappointing considering they claimed best pizza in town and was quite expensive!

I forgot the name, but it is located in the new buildings right beside the Sands Casino.

I highly recommend not going here, and going to Pizzeria Toscana instead!

It's hard to believe that a British guy in China could make one of the BEST pizza's in the world,

but that is the fact. This is probably my FAVORITE pizza!! It has EVERYTHING going for it, good price,

comfy location with non smoking seats (rare in China), cheap drinks, friendly atmosphere,

delivery service, oh, and GREAT pizza!! Being Picky, I'd say the cheese is not the best,

but I'm sure it's the best he can find in that area of China.

This Pizza was absolutely AMAZING!!! If fact, this IS the Pizza that inspired me to make

The Pizza Page! Of all the Pizzas I've had, this has to be number 1! If I have to be

picky, I'd say the Pizza here is a bit expensive (worth every penny/RMB) and could

have been cooked a bit more to make the crust/dough more crispy and burnt.
