Mesa, AZ - Redbrick Pizza - NY style




This place has chain written all over it. Ordered the pizza and soda combo which is a 6" pie with a soda for $6. If your familiar with buying a slice of pizza in a gas station then you will know what this pizza is all about. I would not go back unless I was in the area and it was the only place to eat. The best part about this place was listening to the pizza cook inform us how he could spice up the pie.

Utica, NY - O'scugnizzo Pizzeria "The King of Pizza"


This is by far my favorite pizza in the world. Cheese on the BOTTOM, yes thats right the bottom, sauce on top. Every time I go back to upstate NY I have to stop in there for some pie, and a couple ice cold cans of Utica Club to wash it down. The service is that typical we make the pizza so we act like Gods which means I treat you like shit. Think Soup Nazi from Seinfield.

They even deliver no matter where you live. They send the ingredients to you and you cook it.

Scottsdale, AZ - Pasta Brioni TO GO - NY Style

So today a co-worker tells me he is craving pizza. One thing I can not turn down is pizza. Looking for some place cheap and close to the office I remember about this Italian resturant that has a to-go area. So we check it out, hoping for a cheap but delicious slice of pizza.
We get to the restaurant, the place looks clean, and we were promptly greeted. On the menu there was no mention of slices. I ask, and told they do after the counter girl asked the kitchen if any slices were left. I order two cheese slices with a fountain soda and told $3.89 please. This could not be right, 2 slices and a soda for under $4, what is this 1987? Sitting there thinking either the pizza is old, the slices are small for that price how good could it be. Well the pizza slices were HUGE, easily 1/2 of a 14" pizza. Now the test, looks good, smelled great, and tasted delicious.
