    Does it not depend on hunger for you? I’ll honestly find the frozen pizza from Aldi to be amazing when I’m super hungry.

    Apart from that I had really great pizza at an Italian grocery store in Dijon. They’re all the same after a certain point. It was also great somewhere in Amalfi

    Imo’s in St. Louis is my favorite overall. Thin, crispy crust, square cut, Provel as the base cheese. It scratches an itch that all other pizzas don’t. I’d eat it 7 days a week if I could, hot or cold.

    I’ve had pizzas with superior ingredients, made in fancy ovens, served with wine instead of cold beer, but if I could get any pizza right now, it’d be Imo’s black olive or veggie pizza.

    The best pizza I’ve ever had is probably the Little Caesars by my old apartment. Money can’t buy the experience of getting a couple cheap zas on your way home from work, sitting down in your living room with your brother, and playing Overwatch “split screen” (two TVs next to each other) until 4 o’clock on Friday (as in 4:00 AM on Saturday)

    Off the Bryn Mawr stop on the far North Side of Chicago, there was a little storefront called “Barry’s Pizza Spot”. They sold stuffed pizza* by the slice, and they almost always had one that sausage, mushroom, and onion. I sublet an apartment off this stop for a month one summer and ate this slice for dinner over a dozen times. The first time, it was the best pizza of my life. Two other times surpassed the record before I moved away. It closed a couple years later. My mouth is watering just thinking about it now.

    *If you don’t know what stuffed pizza is, it’s the best of the three Chicago pizza styles. It’s stopped pretending to be anything other than a pie, and the cheese and “toppings” are all underneath a second, upper crust that’s prevented from burning by a top layer of sauce. One slice is a meal.

    The first time I had Papa John’s with the garlic sauce. I guess I just like garlic.

    Some place in Rone when I was about 10 on a trip with my parents. Cut out of a massive rectangle, ate in the street, it was memorable.

    Lorenzo and Sons in Philly

    It’s right across from the Theater of the Living Arts and we used to stop there all the time before and after a show. They were massive slices for cheap and really hit the spot every time.

    When we were on holiday in Malaysia as kids, we ordered room service one evening. My brother was a picky eater so we asked for a plain cheese pizza, expecting like a margherita style.

    Instead it was pizza base with just some sad grated cheese melted on top. Didn’t taste great but just thinking about it makes me laugh. We waited about 40 minutes for that disappointment.

    There’s a place just a 5 minute walk from me that does $10 any size up to 5 toppings every Monday… So my weekly extra large 5 topping pizza is the only pizza I eat now. I have no memory of other pizzas. (It is actually pretty good though!)
