I love pizza. It is a great piece of food. I will take it almost any way I can get it. I will have it everyday. A party of flavors baked into a convenient hand-held meal (which I also enjoy, eating without utensils).
What makes or breaks a pizza for me is tomato sauce. I am not a fan of the sauce. With all of the major delivery chains, I have to remove the cheese, wipe the sauce off and then replace the cheese. It's too much sauce and the flavor overpowers the entire meal. Not satisfying.
Imo's. While it's really not much on pizza, being a St. Louis girl, I do enjoy it. The best part of Imo's? The sauce. It is delicious. I could eat it straight. It is sweet and tangy and cuts the strong, thick cheese nicely. Mmmm.
I love California Pizza Kitchen because they offer so many options that do not include tomato sauce, along with Three Monkeys. Dewey's does a good job of keeping the sauce in it's place: small and insignificant. Keep up the good job, Dew.
Needless to say, Chicago pizza is not my cup of tea. The soup of sauce is too much, along with the cornmeal crust is just too much for me to handle.
Toppings are also important, but won't ruin it for me like the sauce. I am eternally grateful to CPK for the return of their pear & gorgonzola. Dewey's is my friend for their Socrates and Edgar Allan Poe. I had a fig and goat cheese pizza in Paducah this summer and have been dreaming of it ever since.
The place place in St. Louis to get pizza is Dewey's (even though a small national chain), Pirrone's, and Cecil Whittaker's. As for chains: California Pizza Kitchen.
What makes the pizza for you and why? Where is the best place to get pizza?
