Best Pizza Place
In a take-off on the desert island/genie/fast food place thread, what kind of pizza place would you choose?
I classify pizza joints into two categories: chain/fast-food and custom. Chain/fast-food places are places like Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, etc.
By custom I mean those places that have relatively few locations. In Utah that means places like The Pie, Wasatch Pizza, Connie's, etc.
Chainwise, I would rank them as follows:
California Pizza Kitchen
Dominos
Papa Johns
Pizza Hut
Little Caesars
The only place on that list that I would say has "good" pizza is CPK; but pizza is like sex: even bad pizza is better than no pizza at all.
For "custom" I would rank:
Pier 49
Connies (Chicago style pizza)
The Pie (I like the pizza. The problem is that I always wonder whether the stoners behind the counter might have accidentally dropped some doobie ash onto my pie)
I've heard Wasatch Pizza is good but I've never tried it. Someday I want to make a pilgrimage to Pizzeria Uno in Chicago and to Lombardi's in New York.
