Here's one for you...my husband orders meat lovers with NO cheese. He's allergic to cheese but likes pizza. I don't know how he can eat it like that but then again...cheese is my favorite food!

Sally's in New Haven rules. See the lines there, with waits of up to 2 hours. Been going there for 20 years and am never disappointed.

Homemade pizza is the best! And I tend to make traditional Italian Style pizzas, but I do love my hometown chicago deep dish too, though not as much as thin. Were like the Romans, others made it, WE MADE IT BETTER!

Pizza Papalis in Detroit (Greektown) offers the best of both worlds.Thin crust or Deep Dish. People have traveled far and wide just to get one.Worth the trip!

And then there's Conan's Pizza in Austin, Texas, which is a class unto itself for its Chicago-deep-dish-inspired "Savage" which people with manners eat knife-and-fork style, but real savages just mow into.

Adam, you need to do some more research, New Haven is the pizza capitol. Secondly, the "Clam pie," was invented at Palm Beach pizza by Minervini. New Haven knows pizza, and Frank Sinatra himself ordered from Sally's Apizza.

Yeah! God, I love living near Chicago! You won't find better pizza than in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. If you think Pizza Hut and Dominoes are real pizza, I'm sorry, but I feel bad for you.

No, I'm from New Haven. PIZZA WAS INVENTED IN NEW HAVEN. Technically it was invented in Italy, but the first pizza in America was right in Yale New Haven.

Best pizza, by my flavor buds, in the Tonawanda's is Big Daddy's originally known as Pee Wee's, located on Oliver St., NT, NY. I was born on it, really, my mother craved it when she was pregnant for me.

I have been eating St. Louis style, from Imos, my whole life. I swear that the quality has gotten worse every year. I can't even offer to pay extra, to get it like they came, when I was a kid. They just won't top it like they use to anymore. The francize system has absolutly, ruined it.

You don't really know what pizza is unless you've heard the names: Giordano's Gino's East Lou Malnati's Uno Home Run Inn Rosati's Connie's These are all Chicago area pizza places. They're all different, and they're all amazing.

Man I miss Imo's Pizza, every time I go back to St. Louis I have to get a pie with "sticky cheese". It's also hard to beat a Chicago pie, no sauce- just stewed tomatoes, cheese and wall to wall sausage. I think I will have pizza tonight.

Modern Apizza in New Haven is the absolute best! We've traveled far & wide for pizza and Modern is the gold standard-we have a wood fired pizza oven in our backyard and as much as we try, we can't replicate Moderns but our home pizza is totally awesome!

Any pizza I eat always gets compared to New Haven style pizza. Nothing yet has compared. Pepe's and Sally's are the cathredrals of pizza. It doesn't get any better. If you don't like to wait in line, Zuppardi's in West Haven is a great choice, as is Mike's.

I was born in New Haven just a 1/2 block from Pepe's Pizza--however, we always got out pizza from "The Spot" next door it was always delicious--I do remember as a child sitting on my front porch and seeing all of the out-of-state cars come to both for pizza on the weekends. I guess its all a matter of taste.
