Pizzas: What is the best one and where is it from?

The best pizza I had was from a turkish guy in Edinburgh, im not sure if it can be qualified as a pizza (the garlic bread also came pizza shaped as well) The novelty of the experience might have contributed to my judgement.
 
The problem is that if you are in, for example, Germany, that question is equivalent to "which parcel of raw sewage tastes the best?"
I'd wager it's about as easy to find a good pizza in Germany as it is in the US (unless you only deem american style pizza as 'real' pizza, which, I'm afraid, you probably do :sad:)

Are you talking about pide?
 
I'm surprised that Chicago style got any love on this thread. Usually it seems nobody outside of the Chicago metropolitan area really prefers it. Most people seem to prefer thin crust. Deep dish is definitely my favorite, although Chicago also has very good thin crust as well. Aurelio's has my favorite Chicago style thin crust.

I wish I could say my favorite deep dish is from some obscure restaurant, but I like the standard Lou Malnati's, Pizzeria Uno, Gino's East, and Giordano's. Lou Malnati's is probably my favorite.
 
The best pizza I have had was in Skopje Macedonia.
The one with egg on top was good.
 
I once ate pizza in JFK-airport. It was really greasy. My face looked so disgusting. I bet if I had faceplanted, I would've shot off at break-neck speeds.
The pizza that I eat is bought from a gas station close-by. Kebab pizza or Hawaii pizza. :yumyum:

And, like mentioned, just because you ate some bad pizza from some crappy place, in some random city in Europe doesn't mean anything about Europe in general. There is no European pizza. Though, I suppose, Kebab pizza is pretty much the same wherever you go.

It's kind of like how I can only say that NYC pizza is bad (though I wouldn't - I prefer eating something several times from different places before I diss it), but I can't say that Chicago/New Jersey/Detriot/etc style is bad. (Though the US is much closer, of course.)
 
How do I know? I've been to Germany, Spain, France, Holland, Belgium, Austria and Italy.
They are different.

But ya know, you Americans, DEEERRRRPPPPPPP this Pizza in Germany sucks.....therefore all European Pizza sucks, DUUUURRR

heheh, I've also been to those places. I go to Italy almost every year.

You've been to all of those places? I imagine you can speak three languages and play four instruments, too.

You obviously know that from the UK it's possibly a 4 hour flight to everyone of those locations??? Obviously Quackers knows how multicultural Europe is as he lives on the freaking continent. In my own country there is still a rich multicultural thing going on in most regions. They even speak a whole other language in my city.


Link to video., If you can find someone from the northern regions of holland who can translate that, I will be starstruck.

The Italians make the best Pizzas, end of story.
Of course there are the bad and the good Italian Restaurants who serve Pizzas, but if you find a good Pizzeria it will surely make the best Pizza you have ever eaten if you are used to that american bullcrap pizza. YUCK! I just do not like an american style pizza, I really rather have an Italian style pizza with the nice thin crust, and FRESH LOCAL products on top. If you take a pizza that is just massed produced and sold in <less-high-quality> pizzerias, then that probably will be the worst pizza ever. I like to see every pizza being unique.

Jao, diech höbs us aon 't hart gelege
Mestreech door alle ieuwe heer.
Veer bleve diech altied genege
en deilde dreufheid en plezeer.
Veer huurde naor dien aw histories
te peerd op grampeer ziene sjoet.
Eus ouge blónke bij dien glories
of perelde bij diene noet.


*EDIT*: I am sorry for the ending of the Youtube clip, I guess someone wanted to be funny.

I've never been there, but you can't argue with results (except when you can).

I prefer pizzas with a fairly thick dough, roughly a centimetre. Specific toppings being that of a hawaiian or chicken hawaiian (remove ham, add chicken).

We're #1. :d Generally I cannot have Pizza now, since it contains cheese, which is a nono for me now. Also the Pizzas I used to have were not that good but they did what they needed to do, and that is fill me up.

So you're judging all American pizza based on the crappy chain brands? New York style pizza is Italian style pizza pretty much, except better. Other than Sicilian, which is thick crust but delicious.

That is also my favorite pizza. And it's from America too!

Chicago style deep dish is great, but I also like Southwest - thin crust, brick oven type pizzas.

It's funny, you explain you have been to Italy and then you say Italian style pizzas have one distinct style. If you have ever been to Italy, you would know that is not the case.
 
Chicago Deep Dish is all you never need. Anyone who likes cardboard pizza can go back to Brooklyn.
 
Anyone who would call NY pizza cardboard or soggy has obviously never even seen it let alone eaten it. Other than maybe some pizza hut 'new york' style which would be typical of unsophisticated midwesterners.
