I agree with **Baron** about Three Brothers pizza in Seaside – great stuff, and multiple locations. But the all-time best pizza I ever had was in Salt Lake City at **The Pie** , AKA **The Flying Pie** , across the street from the University of Utah. An iconic underground student dive (under a drugstore) with brick walls and a dark atmosphere. And ambrosial pizzas. ---

For the Floridopers looking for a good NY or NJ style pizza, there is a little place in Bradenton called [Siciliano’s](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=Siciliano%27s+Pizza+Bradenton&spell=1) that has some delicious Pizza in this style. I’ve never really eaten real NJ or NY pizza, as I’ve never been there, so I can’t really say conclusively if it holds upagainst the real thing, but I know its characteristics- thin crust, not too saucy, well done in a high temp Pizza oven, served by the big slice, very tasty. It’s just a little place, nothing fancy, great Amer-Italian food at reasonable prices, worth a stop if you’re in the area. ---

I found a little place on Rt 70 in Lakewood by the unlikely name of Charlie’s Pizza that has great Pizza. It is not close to where I live or work, so I almost never get there, but it is truly excellent. Might be worth a try for \*\*Hal’s \*\* next return visit. It is close to where Rt 70 and Rt 9 cross, in the Leisure Square Mall. Jim ---

Try a calzone pizza - specifically, a snail calzone. Yes, snails. Tomato, snails, garlic, and cream. Yum! Consume with good company and fine wine. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/today-is-a-sad-day-for-pizza-snobs-everywhere/388136.md?page=2)
