Pizza Survey -- Updated

· · 🌡️ 36°F

OK, folks, i got a food question for ya'll. As i sit and wait for my favie pizza to arrive, i wonder what you guys like. Where's your favie place? What's your favie toppings? Give me all the dirt!

My favie is LaNova. They have great pizza. OK, so the location is a bit... well, it is off the beaten strip, let's just say. Not too far from our place, really. It's on Ferry...

Oh yum... its here!!

Update

Thanks for all your responses, peeps! Like me, most of you have strong opinions and tastes on pizza.

Funny, though, i didn't even say what i like. Go me. I am a bit of a purist... i like cheese pizzas, preferably NY style. I am ok with some toppings, but not loads. My preference is a good thin crust cheese pie...

Which, i reckon is the opposite of your tastes, eh, @theecarey?

We tried Just Pizza once and we were disappointed. Thought it was overpriced and it seemed to be all about the toppings, not the quality of the basic ingredients.

We used to go to NY Pizza when we lived in that 'hood, @dcoffee... we should check on the places you mention in South Buffalo. I love little hole in the wall places. :)

I should try my hand at homemade pizza, @kara... i could do it the easy way, really and get out my breadmaker for the dough. :O)

    My favorite used to be Mister Pizza, so much better then LaNova by leaps and bounds. Plus there silican pizza (not white pizza they are differant) was so good. But now my favorite is Just Pizza. They have so many varities. Not sure what my favorite kind is. Back when I worked at Wilson Farms (many years ago it seems like a distant past) On Elmwood and Aurburn every so often we would get a varitey from them. I still think they make the best pizza. I have never tried there flavored crust and have only gotten slices recently as opposed to an entire pie.

    Jo Jo's on Abbott in South Buffalo is the best place. it's kind of quaint no frills place with a small store front with painted red green and white walls and old ornate tin cealing tiles.

    but I also like NY Pizza on Allen, and Casa Di Pizza in restaurant row on Elmwood makes a realy good veggie pizza that is so loaded with toppings that it is impossible to eat without a knife and fork.

    For toppings I like the Mushrooms Peppers combo myself, also onions, spinich and broccoli are good too. I do eat meat and like pepperoni, but vegetable pizzas are usually better.

    Any placed that has a thick dough. I dig thick and chewy. I like most toppings although I prefer vegetables on it..the more the better. I also like it saucy. hmm.. I seriously ended up ordering pizza after reading this post. A local place offers "double dough" as an option, so I get that when I order.

    I prefer to order from somewhere in Tonawanda/Amherst.. or South Buffalo.. I have found that most places have the pizza I am looking for. Frano's, Marks, Bellas.. and a few others.

    K, off to eat pizza!

    Just Pizza, hands down. I've been ordering a Sicilian White with hot peppers since I first moved to Buffalo.
    As a close second, I would say homemade pizza is my favorite, assuming I don't screw up the dough.

    LaNova is great. Mister Pizza is ok. I don't like Just Pizza either. You're right, they seem to be all about the toppings.

    Jeff & I went to Pizza Plant last night and got Pods (?) they were really good. I had never been there before. @PMT wrote about it a few times, they have gluten free Wednesdays at their Transit Rd. place.

    haha this cracks me up. I think "buffalo pizza" (whatever that is) is way overrated. (no offense.) And I think lanova is WAY overpriced. this is probably blasphemy around here, but they all taste the same to me...

    My fave pizza is New Haven pizza. They claim to have 'invented' it. [hmm, not sure how to do a wiki link, so here: :::link:::] We had two pizza places on campus that were 'rivals', and claim to the first pizza places in the country. My dad has them on speed dial and will still drive 2hr for Pepe's sometimes. They're famous for their white pizza, especially white clam pizza. It's all cooked in a brick over. Yum.

    Another fave is cooking pizza on a grill yourself. Just through dough on a hot grill- it cooks really fast- then slather on some toppings (a good one is gorgonzola and rosemary and caramelized onions. not traditional, but delish nonetheless.)
