Locally here in Madison I think Greenbush Bar is my favorite (try a sausage and giardiniera). Further afield I love Lou Malnatiβs in Chicago for deep dish (Iβve heard all the arguments about whether or not itβs pizza; either way itβs delicious), Pizza Port in/around San Diego (although their superb beers may be a strong influence there), and Woodstockβs in every major university town in CA. RIP to That Pizza Place in Carlsbad, CA, which was a local legend that didnβt make it through the pandemic.
As for toppings: I think fresh tomato is highly underrated (try with garlic or ground beef) and giardiniera is tremendously underutilized.
While youβre in NYC you might try to connect to Miriam Weiskind from The Za Report. Sheβs pretty amazing and was highlighted in a really good YouTube video from Munchies (Brooklyn Pizza Sold Out Of A One Bedroom Apartment). Itβs amazing and I think you two could be very simpatico.
Check out Seylou in DC! They only do one night of pizza, but their breads and pastries are amazing, they use regionally grown grains, and have their own stone mill!
I'm from NJ originally, and Delorenzo's will always be the pinnacle of great pizza for me. In New Haven, Pepe's and BAR, and in Madison, Sal's Tomato Pies.
Congrats Mo, this is wonderful news.
