[Snick]

Where is the best pizza to be found ?

FFS- slow day at the office Snick 55555555555555? Wots next- best Pad Thai/Kimchi/Sushi/Swedish meatballs/chop Suey.

Too many variables and likes/dislikes for a pizza thread methinks but it's gotta be one of the places in the States- you're the best at EVERYTHING allegedly, as shown by 3 out of 6 choices being Merkin.

[Snick]

Very slow.
Reds are being boring today.

And there is no such thing as best Kimchi...its ALL BAD

[kahuna]

You left out North Beach (Little Italy) San Francisco...You Eastern Elitist...

BTW...I really like Kimchi...

[Snick]

I put California in the list, last I checked SF was still included

Kimchi..yukkk.............dim sum ?

Pizza Express , UK (NOT!)  

Surely the best has to come from Italy!! They invented it.

Which brings me to one of my favorite trivia questions of all time.

(No fair looking it up on that interweb thingy)

How many know what a merkin really is?

I think in another life I was a traveling merkin salesman.

San Francisco is not simply a part of California it is California...In the future please exclude those villages down south filled with SoCal cretins...

I can recall going to North Beach as kid...eating with the family in one of the many small hole-in-the-wall Italian eateries and watching the pizza dough thrown by the cook...Great memories...Great Pizza...

But I won't be running out today searching for an edible pizza in Pattaya...It's all shit here...

Dim Sum...?

P.S. - in a completely unanticipated plug for one of my favorite authors and websites, it turns out a rather detailed explanation of "merkin" can be found here:

I love Cecil! The STRAIGHT DOPE rules!

I won't cast a vote on here as I'd pick Chicago but not having had authentic New York pizza I don't think it's fair of me to cast a ballot.

" The best Pizzas on Soi4"

isnt that Tonis motto opp Guess bar.( i think its called Tonis anway)
On the scale of 1-10 i suppose he gets a five , at least its made fresh. The Pepperoni is suspect though and it certainly dont taste like it should and also a bit in the thin side . But after a few beers who cares

Pizzas were invented for Drunks, lets face it , theres no decorum in easting one of these bastards.

The worst Pizza on Soi4 is that Kiwi clown down the road, Ronnys Pizza . He gets 2 out of 10 as it not made from frozen but most of his Pizzas are Bacteria factories and i think he gives two tabs of immodium now along with the chili sache

You got that right. Absolutely insipid things.

Paris (that's France, not Texas) has some of the worst too..they have no idea.

These days I make my own, it's the only way to ensure quality control. Plenty of Italians in these parts too, so the best authentic ingredients are never far away

I live in NY so I might be partial to it but I've had pizza in chicago, in San Francisco, in Hawaii, in China, in Hong Kong, in Philippines, in Germany and in India. I'd have to say except for the Philippines, pizza's get worse the further away they get from New York.

And dude.. this shouldn't even be a question. Its a fact of life.

Since this message board would not exist if Thailand did not exist, we should be sharing info on any edible pizzas we ever find there.

I cannot recall any real memorable pizzas in Pattaya. That place on Soi Baukaow with the tall slender lb working there, has edible pizza, but nothing close to what we get back in the better USA pizza joints.  

I went to a Shakey's Pizza a month or so ago in Philippines and I'd have to say that was the best pizza in SE Asia that I've eaten. We used to have Shakey's Pizza places all over the western states when I was a kid. Now ya never see them. Then to discover the chain is alive and well overseas...

I had some pizza at that place on the end of Soi 13/1 and Beach Rd corner and it wasn't bad either. Eaten there with 2 board members and both seemed to agree.

[whore]

The best Pizza I ever had was in a kinda "moms and pops" place on Koh Samui. I couldnt say exactly where the place was as I found it by getting lost. But the pizza was gorgeous and spicy.

Other than that one amazing pizza, Dominos does a good pizza.

I remember I was in Shakeys pizza in Cebu. I cant remember if it was good or bad, but I do remember their bottomless pepsi. I got my moneys worth there I'll tell ya. Spent the next 12hrs peeing and laughing at the same time, mumbling to myself, "bottomless my ass".

Another place I had a pizza in Cebu was disgusting. The worst part was the pizza I ordered was the size of wheel off a lorry. I would have finished if it was nice, but oh my god it was dire. Just tasted of bad oil.
