Discuss the all-encompassing pie - PIZZA - here!
Share pics, discuss your favorite toppings, cheeses, sauces, styles, bakers, etc. Calzones, strombolis, okonomiyaki, etc are welcome!
I'll start with an Annapolis, Maryland staple - the "spotted pig" from Vin 909. Sopressata & wild boar meatballs w/provolone.

"...I changed by not changing at all..."
Thanks for adding to the list of foods I must try.
(and thanks for making me crave kickass pizza in general now)
Hrrrmph to you!
I am not a pizza snob....but my wife is. I like trying different places....
Round Cherry Hill NJ - favorite places?
For Brick Oven pizza? It is in Haddon Township but Bruno's is the shit.
Bonus is there is a liquor store right next door making for convenient BYO
For regular pizza?
Cherry Hill's Vitarelli's is strong and a new place that opened recently, Mimi's fucking kills it. Folks are from Italy and make great pies.
My wife is partial to Manco & Manco down the shore
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_pizza
Greek pizza refers to a style of pizza crust and its preparation, rather than its toppings.[1] This style is baked in a pan, instead of directly on the bricks of the pizza oven, (as is more traditional for Italian pizza).[1] The pan used is a shallow pan, in-contrast to the deep pans used in Chicago-style deep dish pizza. The pan is heavily oiled with olive oil.[2] It has a crust that is usually chewy and puffy, almost like focaccia bread but not as thick.[3] The crust is also rather oily, due to the heavily oiled pan used for the cooking process.[1][4] Due to the use of a larger tomato paste-to-crushed tomato ratio the sauce is typical tangy and thick with a strong taste of oregano.[5] The sauce amounts are greater, relative to the light amounts of cheese placed on the pizza. The cheese itself is typically, (but not always), a blend of mozzarella and cheddar.
This style of pizza may be referred to as "Greek pizza" even when it has non-Greek toppings, since it is typical of pizzerias owned by Greek immigrants. (These pizzas are similar to the pizzas served in Italian-style restaurants in Greece itself.) These establishments often also sell Greek specialties, such as Greek salads and gyros, and tend to brand themselves as "Pizza and Pasta" or as a "House of Pizza"; a code signifying that it is not an Italian restaurant, but a Greek restaurant serving Italian-style food. In the United States, the latter usage is common in New England cuisine.[1]

My wife and I ate there last night before u2.
Lia's Pizza in Oceanside Long Island. This here is called a Grandma pie. Once you try this regular pizza is just an afterthought.
Enjoy.

I honestly don't know if I could name the best pizza I've ever had. One thing that cracks me up though, looking at some reviews for some pizza shops online today, is when people post pictures and are all "WTF is this shit? This looks like a 2nd grader made it" all because the pie isn't a perfect circle.
This could also be the inspiration for my making last-minute delivery orders while buzzed.
