Friends,
Good tidings to each of you. It is encouraging to see our pizza scene is blossoming. We had such a wonderful time this week meeting new friends and am so grateful for the opportunities that life affords.
New Orleans is now becoming recognized internationally as a pizza city. This past week three pizzerias were highlighted among the top 100 pizzerias and slice shops in America according to 50 Top Pizza, an international pizza guide based in Italy. If you had not heard here they are:

St. Pizza was ranked the seventh best slice shop in America. With the addition to the back, I see them now as more a pizzeria than a slice shop.
Il Supremo made the pizzerias of excellence list. This list essentially corresponds to #51-100. The city is definitely turning heads, and I predict next year we will see Forbidden earn a spot. If only they did not use the woman scantily clad in its logo, I suggest they might already be there.
We ate in nine of the top 50 in 50 Top’s ranking and an additional six of their Top 15 slice shops this trip. The most overrated I would say were Ribalta and Stretch. PST was excellent. Not Top 10, but certainly Top 50 worthy. But they just opened this month. Perhaps next year.

Friend,
What Marisol has done there is remarkable and she has great upside. Lena is not in my top 100 yet, but she is definitely moving up. I think her husband, who is a professional photographer, has helped get her brand out there in this age of Instagram. Hers is quite a story and she is doing things right. So many pizzerias today the pizza maker is just an employee. The chaining of great pizzerias will catch up to them all eventually. I worry about L’industrie which just opened a third shop, but so far they have done very well to keep standards high.

How many more times will you rehash this old, worn out pizza thread?
It's amazingly boring at this point.

NO metro is great for pizza. So far I’ve hit Tower of Pizza and Gio’s in Metry. Want to hit IL Supremo and Forbidden for my next 2.

How much willpower do you lack if you can't resist clicking on on a thread you already know you will be bored with?

Il Supremo fricking sucks that doesn't even include the two hour wait time to get it.

You'll notice the list was not made by any serious food critic.
Also "pizza" is a subjective term these days. It's hard to compare and rank when you have so many different types of pizza
Neapolitan
Brooklyn Slice
Chicago deep
Chicago thin
Detroit square
St. Louis
I think its kind of idiotic to try to compare which is better when you're looking at a neapolitan wood fire and a chicago deep in the same picture. They're not the same thing.
