sheeats Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 evidently, they had a battle kolacheThis thread has totally decided the Food Fight for next week. It's Battle Pizza, biznatches. I'll set up a poll and have folks choose the two they want to go head to head. We'll have those two delivered to the HP office and get after it.

rsb320 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 We tried Romano's and didn't think it was as good as New York Pizzaria, which is itself just middle of the road. Brothers is pretty good. I've never been to Dolce Vita...where is that?I thought is was Romano's New York Pizzaria. At least that's what it said on the box when we ordered from there last week. The pizza was marginal at best, but I did not make the toppings decision. The thin crust pizza was soggy in the middle and the sun dried toms packed a twang.Nobody's mentioned Fuzzy's or Frank's or Farago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I miss Panjo's. That was the best pizza, ever. Simple. Thin crust. Extra crispy. Spicy pepperoni. I hear there's one down in Rockport. Thinking about going down there just for a pie...Antonio's Flying Pizza is also pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barracuda Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I vote for Dolce Vita by far. I've had too many disappointing pizzas at Star Pizza, and their service is always terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I haven't been to Double Dave's in ages (wasn't there one near Shepherd/Richmond?) but my faint memory recalls the likes of Chuck E. Cheese.The small pizzas at Brasil are decent, though the last one I had was very...soupy (might have just been a cheese overload, though).

gto250us Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 How did Candelari's not make the short list?Long live King Mike's!http://www.candelaris.com/Candelari's is very, very good. Star is over rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frheard Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Ponzo's on Bagby is quite good. Dolce Vita is amazing, but pretty gourmet and authentic, kind of on a different level than most places, opposed to the traditional pepperoni and sausage most Americans expect. The Robiola pizza will make you slap your mama. I'm trying Pink's tonight. All this pizza talk...makin' me hungry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh. We get Candelari's often for delivery. Solid. Dolce Vita is good for fancy pizza, but when I just really want a big, old plain slice of cheese, I honestly love New York Pizzeria. It reminds me of the good, divey places back home. How they perfected that in a chain, I'll never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will say that we've seen different quality and totally different outcome between the different locations. The one in Pearland is good, so is midtown. The Jillian's one not so much. Westheimer@Chimney Rock is also good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeats Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 FYI, the "poll" is up over at the Press and we're up to 90 entries so far.

Pumapayam Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Double Dave's? DOUBLE DAVE'S? Why is that abomination even on the list?!? Good grief. Double Dave's is for people in the far exurbs who think Cheddar's is fancy Saturday night date dining. SORRY. Double Dave's has some of the rankest, nastiest pizza I've ever had the displeasure of tasting. /rant over My vote goes to Dolce Vita. (Shocker, I'm sure. ) Yeah, seriously along the lines of Little Seizures! Just a pile of grease. DD's is all over Bryan-College Station too.

Maybe that was in reference to somethingsomeone else. FWIW, you aren't the only person who's mentioned Double Dave's. I hear it all the time, all over the place. I think when I saw it on here that day, it was the veritable straw that broke the camel's back, that's all. Or at the very least, the LA Times blogger who I cited And you're right that "started" was a poor choice of words. I've changed it to the far more correct "engaged in." No hard feelings?

sheeats Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 FYI: The three contenders are going to be Star, Romano's and Pink's. Star got 20 votes, while Romano's and Pink's were tied at 14 each. Runners-up were Dolce Vita with 11 votes, Russo's with 10 and Brother's with 8. And then about a bazillion votes for every other pizza place in town. Yeesh.

20thStDad Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Went to Chicago Pizza just now, got the deep dish and liked it. Not as good as what I had in Chicago, but good enough to satisfy and return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
