How come Sicilian style pizza hasnt gone gourmet/stylish/more popular.When u go to the pizza shop it sits there all by itself - 3 days old dry and stale. WTF.I can get pizza w/ any toppings in the world but Sicilians are treated like a redheaded stepchild.Catch 22 situation. Its badly made and no one orders it.

A well made Sicilian pizza is a work of art and tastes way better than many regular pizzas. They are just few and far between.
that has 8 different kinds of Sicilian all day, and they are
the BOMB. They keep a standard pie on hand for folls who don't
know the deal, and I always have to chuckle to see someone order
that plain old pizza instead of the Killin' Sicilian.
Sliced tomato and basil is what's really.
Sometimes I like a regular slice but I also like doughy breads, like biscuits fresh out of the oven, and my favorite sicilian slices can have that quality. I also find that I'm more aware of the sauce on a sicilian slice (in fact I sometimes prefer the cheeseless or four-seasons type ricotta or mozarella) so if I like the sauce at a place I tend to eat the sicilian. I recently enjoyed a good one at the place on the corner of Manhattan Ave. and Green St. in Greenpoint.
By this isnt the standard in most shops.
I'm not sayin I cant find a good Sicilian, Im just wondering why it's still the "alternative".
This place by my house though makes the best silicain pizza ive ever had. You have to buy it by the tray but it is so good. They pour a ton of oil in the pan when they bake it and it fries that shit up proper. MMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMM. Get that shit with onions,
Gross. I always hated those. Soggy ass pizza. Made me want to vomit when I used to bite into those.
YES - Pinocchio's is the shit. That was thee default location for a cheap to-go lunch in high school, college, after college.... basically as long as I can remember.
Im living in California, and there is NO good pizza in this state.
Nothing like I remeber from the mid west and east coast.
Pizza here has no life, no pazzaz if you will....its all thick nasty crust, with flavorless sauce, and thin toppings, or over blown with cheese.
I ve tried every place in the bay area ive HEARD has a good pizza, only to be dissapointed everytime.
My family from here has a Fav place called Frankie Johnnie and Luigi's, but its not italian pizza...not even close.
Ive been to pizza joints owned by mexicans, chineese, koreians, summalies, and guatamalians....but not Italians.
Maybe thats the problem.
No offence to you and yours if your of one of the afore mentioned races, but your people just cant make pizza like the Italians and Siscilains.
If you live in the bay area, and you think you know of a good pizza let me know.
Peace for now Peace for later
I love Lorenzo's. In my college days we would do damage to whole pies.
In the little 'dining room' in the back me and my friends were approached by a guy offering us a limo ride to his homemade casino that he had set up in his apartment.
TLA + Lorenzo's = A good night.
Ah, what I like to call "carpet sample pizza."
The pizza was bad--that's a given--but the really odd thing about that lunch was not the pizza itself, but the fact that it was always served with corn as a side dish. This was standard in my school district, and over the years, I've learned that it was fairly standard in many other districts.
Now, by show of hands, who has ever seen corn on the menu at a pizza restaurant?
(Shig: corn ON pizza in Japan does not count.)

that white criss-cross shit on the pizzas is another japanese pizza topping. its called mayonnaise[/b].
speaking on pizza day. in japan, the school lunch equivalent to pizza day is natto day. holy crap, dudes, them kids go crazy for natto day. all running around class chanting "natto day, natto day!". the sad thing about school lunch in japan is that there isnt a cafeteria. they eat all that shit IN THE CLASSROOM. so on natto day the whole classroom smell like FEET.
Ok geeme yer address, Ill buy,freeze and ship you a pizza made by the best Chineese run pizza house in the bay area, and you can be the judge.
Its just not their forte if you will.
Just like I wouldnt expect good sushi from casa lupe, which BTW is a KILLER mexican food joint in Campbell, ca.
As long as your describing your area, 'cause in NYC decent pizza is made by non-Italians.
What is that mozzarella and kidney beans? Fuck that looks nasty.
nope, just 100% rotten beans...saying it smells like feet is being kind...smells like feet covered in vomit.
No good pizza spots on Arthur Ave, and no one bring up Full Moon pizzeria because that place is wack. There are very, very few Italians left on Arthur Ave, its mainly Eastern Europeans there now. Even the Arthur Ave market is slipping with the quality of Italian goods.
A good sicilian pie can be found at Mike's pizza on Southern Boulevard off of Webster Ave.
The Palermo pie sounds ill!
dogg, it was school lunch. not that good gourmet shit!
dude, pizza my heart makes a solid slice and is prolly the only place you can buy by the slice in the south bay. it aint NYC but a solid pizza. also, amici's is also pretty decent. both those spots are a bit greasy but pretty good for san jose.
You guys gots it good on the left coast.......I cant speak for the whole state of California, but the Bay Area is Devoid of a good pizza.
Theres a few that are passable, but not ANYTHING like the pizza from the mid west to the atlantic coast.
I miss Chicago Style.
just this past weekend I finally ate a Zachary's in Piedmont...
Ok..... ill give yet another pizza joint a try, Ive heard of that place, and was told its good, Im willing to give it a shot.
