One of our favorites is in Surfside (south of Myrtle Beach). I had a restaurant.com coupon for the first time we visited while on vacation and that is how we happened to find this place. I think the name of it is Anothony's.

Pizza is my favorite [S]junk[/S] food. And coming from NY I have to say that we do have the best pizza around. I went to Hilton Head last year and what do I find. A New York style pizza shop that was large and filled to capacity.

Pizza ain't Pizza all over

When I define pizza, I need to relate to the places I am used too, both in Hudson County (Bayonne), and for the last 36 yrs, the N Jersey shore.

A place in Bradley Beach called Vics (1946) has great tomato pies....my favorite is the main one on the menu....it simply has a bit of tomato (meatless) gravy spiced with basil, garlic, olive oil, and some moz cheese....(and a sprinkle of graded Romano.) This is a very thin high semolina wheat & yeast crust (chewy) baked until the cheese and gravy appear to be frying in the oven. A real good tomato pie....almost always...a bit small for $9.99 (12 inch)

Three blocks N is Piancones Italian Specialities store (1938) (And Nanas Restaurant) (Roma Foods).....that once had some of the great shores tomato pies....(still do in their more north NJ restaurant.) When you see their trucks on I 95 delivering goods to the restaurants (Roma Foods), you will note on the side that the Piancone Family (John) also established the first 'Pizza Restaurant" in Russia.... (They no longer offer tomato pies in the Bradley Beach Shop or restaurant, nor in Manasquan...just dinners)

Pete & Eldas bar- Carmines Pizza in Neptune is also rated pretty good....(very thin, probably gets 30 9 inch pies from 5 lbs of flour....2 or 3 microns thin..(but tasty)...not filling...) probably why I like Vics a bit better.

CiCis on the Point Pleasant B'Walk was real good, also thin.....

Franks in Long Branch is very good tomato pies.....but Luigi's is better.....thin crust with tomato gravy spiced with a bit of basil & garlic, moz cheese also baked in the oven till the topping fries.....(P/U only)

I guess you can say I like plain pizza from places so old the neon says "tomato pies" flashing in bright red, with a bit of flicker due to the signs' old age....and although I like what the call 'Chicago Pizza'....In my mind, it doesn't register as pizza....nor does those we tried in Calif....(overloaded with gravy-sauce & cheese....couldn't cook right...even dough seemed raw.

What's Pizza Hut?

Pork, fruits, on a tomato pie??? ain't kosher....but sausage or peperoni MIGHT be OK..gimme the original...lightly sauced (with a bit of basil & garlic in the sauce), lightly cheesed, baked till fried on high gluten flour.

Joe's Pizza in Martinsville, NJ is one of my favorites. Great pizza sauce.

Gino's in Chicago. Love that pan style Pizza with Sausage.

Best Sicilian was in Albany, NY. I forgot the name of the place, but my best friend would always send me their marinara sauce for spaghetti.

And, I just had Pizza yesterday with my boys at 5 Brothers in Marco Island. I was shocked at how great it was. Thin crust, great sauce. The crust was so good that my boys ate it. And, they hate the crust. We will be going back sometime this week.

Jim,
If we're ever in your neck of the woods, or water, or heck, just stuck on the dock, any dock (!), we'll see what we can do about treating you to that chinese food you talk about...

Actually the best pizza I ever had was in Florence Italy when I was in 6th grade. My family and I had been tromping around Florence all day looking at historical stuff. It was rainy and cold. We ask this local where we could eat and he somehow communicated, "pizza?" Yes we said. So away we go, walking with him. We walked for over an hour.

We go into this nice restaurant that had a real wood burning oven. We order the pizzas. They are soooooo good! I just remember how thin and tasty they were. We were so hungry that we ordered another one. We timed how long it took to cook: only 1 minute! We again wolfed it down.

It is a great memory.

Uh oh, Chicago vs. NY. Seems to me they are hardly even the same food. My personal favorite downtown Chicago is Giordano's, thick, buttery, eat with a fork. Man I could take the train right now just to get one. You should see me carry the box around downtown and onto the train home, people can smell it a a mile away. YUMMMMM!

They also have Gino's which is my husband's fave, but I don't care for their sausage.

I couldn't live anywhere that I couldn't get a good Chicago style pizza.
