Also, if you guys still buy dominos and Pizza Hut rather than a mom & pops pizzeria then we have problems. If you want to know what a person thinks of you, look at what pizza they buy when you go over.
There's a time and a place for chain pizza restaurants and that usually involves having over little children or people that are cheap skates and you're merely returning the favor. Oh and costco pizza is beyond gross.. can't believe any one buys that crap. I'd rather eat Little Caeser's. Yeah, I said it! As I mentioned before I still love Round Table as it's nostalgia for me.
With that said, we've got plenty of decent places near me. Michael's and La Parolaccia make good neopolitan style. A place that's gotten a lot of hype that i like but I think is overhyped is a place called Speakcheezy that was right behind my old house. Milana's NY squares and Milana's NY Pizza are good NY style. Little Coyote is pretty good too.
Anyone that thinks Pizza Port pizza is good needs to have their head checked. Pizza has been a hot topic with my beer league team. We got dragged to Pizza Port a few years ago playing a tournament in San Diego and I was offended quite frankly!
Anyone been to Pizzeria Bianco? We went after watching the Chef's Table episode and they had just opened the DTLA location. Chris Bianco was there and going around to all the tables. Such a nice guy and great pizza but it's definitely not cheap.
