Shakey's shrimp and sausage from a long long time ago (mid 1960s) very thin, very crispy with air pockets in crust, topped with Italian sausage, red sauce cheese and small shrimp. I haven't seen a Shakey's Pizza Parlor in years. Are there any still around? Any recommendations on finding this pizza?

Luckily none

I wish I could get the Poseidon up here in St Louis

Pizza Suprema

BJ’s in Cenla

Roasted carrot pie at Domenica

Quattro Formaggi from a Sandals resort in St. Lucia

Taco Pizza near parent’s house

BJs pizza from Cenla.

I once made a pizza that had pepperoni, Bailey's andouille, the meat filling used in cajun meat pies, mushrooms, onions and cheese. It may have been the best pizza I ever had.

My taste in pizza is eclectic as hell and it contains some popular choices and excludes many of them too. As to the pie itself thin crust. Meats include chicken and Italian sausage first. Veggies creamed spinach, artichoke hearts have to be on it after that is lagniappe.

J Gregrys in Huntsville AL

Driftwood Beach Bar in Hopkins Belize. run by an English guy and his gf .. they worked at (I want to say Yo Mama's?) in New Orleans before they moved down and opened this joint. Pizza is fantastic, their rum drinks are delicious, live band always playing, cool as little spot. just a great vibe.

I just miss my favorite places in nj.

None if anything pizza is getting better.

Grimaldi's in Brooklyn. Just love the coal fired brick oven pizzas. More people need to invest in a good brick oven, even if it isn't coal or wood fired to make their pizza. It really makes a difference

A little place near Underhill Center, VT. It was about a decade ago and I can't remember the name. I was staying with some relatives and they brought me to some little dive. Amazing thin crust, flavorful sauce, and super fresh cheese and toppings.

The pizza at Olive St. Bistro was very very good. Authentic Italian style crust, wood fired, delicious. I'm sure that it could be found again, I'm just not sure where.

Taco pizza

Pizza I had at Coppa here in Houston with shiitakes and leeks. It doesn't haunt me - I can go get it whenever I want. It's just the best I've had outside of Florence.

I love a drunken stop at Pi on S Peters

I'm a pizza minimalist. Give me a chewy pizza with only cheese on top cooked to a golden brown that is liberal with the red sauce and I'm in heaven It's hard to find a good pizza.

NYC

the french bread pizza they used to serve in high school with a random side of jello and corn on the cob. these days i usually pick up an amy's spinach when im in the mood

Pizza Inn - Everything We Got

I dream about pizza 24/7

Gumby's pizza- college town staple that is slowly die out

I had it once, on top of Mt. Titlis in Switzerland

Had a pizza in Rome that I don't think will ever be touched as far as greatness.

Blood sausage and mushroom from Provisions here in Houston

"East of Chicago" chain makes a killer Taco Pizza. I get one every time I visit home.

ETA: Just remembered....I would really like to go to Pazzo's again in Vail. THAT was great pizza.

I had some awesome pizza that I got when I went to the LSU BCS game in New Orleans in '07. It was near the Ramada on Bourbon street. I remember it being out of a little aluminum temporary building, like something you'd see at a fair. You walked to the window and told the guy what you wanted. The slices were huge, they were thin but so awesome. It's the closest thing I found to pizza I got in Philly or NYC down here. I looked for that place when we went back in '11 but it was gone. It was a parking lot, I think.

Local pizza shop in Steamboat, supreme cheesy crust pizza

I miss me some Godfathers. Damn good pizza.

I feel like I must mention my pizza quirk. I hate tomatoes, so obviously I don't like pizza sauce. When I was a kid I would straight up order no sauce on my pizzas, essentially making my pizza a giant cheese bread with toppings . Now I order either a olive oil and garlic sauce, or a white sauce if the place has one.
Only pizza I eat is supreme with a ton of pepper flakes

A place in ATL that my brother and I participated in a food eating contest



I have been loving the hell out of the cowboy pizza at whole foods though.

1. Prosciutto
2. Thin & crispy, preferably wood-fired
3. Multiple but Minimalist--think Margherita with fresh ingredients, or strong cheeses like feta or gorgonzola
4. Artichoke hearts
5. Elementary school pizza, that stuff was the shiznit back in the day
