And outside of the tri-state area ( N.J/N.Y/Ct. ), pizza stinks, no matter what anyone else claims! :-)
This area is rural enough to also have cornfields and mostly single family dwellings with lot sizes averaging around 1/5th of an acre.
We occasionally even get deer and black bears in the neighborhood. Pennsylvanians (especially in the SW part of the state) love pizza and hoagies.
Ridiculous.
NYC is still the land of the dollar slice:

A real pizza oven cooks at between 800-900 F. This is the biggest impediment to baking restaurant-quality pizza at home.
Not to mention Brandonflation.
Believe it or not I can make great Red Baron pizzas on my Weber grill with a thick pizza stone for about $3.99 each
grab frozen pizza, throw on stone shred a little cheddar on top
turn on grill to full, close wait 18 minutes.
Better slices are ~$2 ea. at the Costco food court.
There is a pizzaria on the corner of 1rst ave and 11 or 12 st. Thirsty years ago it was run by Italians. Best pizza EVER! When I returned to NYC a few years ago, I decided to buy a pizza from there. It was now run by russians. noh thank you!
If you live where no one cares, get an old (working) stove/range and put it on the back patio or garage.
Take an angle grinder and grind off the clip that secures the door in cleaning mode.
Leave one rack at the bottom and cover it with oven bricks or a pizza stone.
Put the oven on Clean and cook at 800 degrees.
I have never heard of such a creation. Looks good though...
If I find myself heading to Northern Ohio again, I’ll stop along the way...
HAH I remember paying $0.25 for a slice. Cried when it went up to $0.35.
The gold standard for ATL Pizza is Antico Pizza Napoletana. The original is down by GA Tech on Hemphill, with outposts now at The Battery next to the Braves stadium in Smyrna, and at Avalon in Alpharetta.
$21 for a Marguerita, $23 for a Diavola (my favorite). The latter has soppressata and Calabrian peppers. Worth it.
I’ll put them up against any of the high end NYC or New Haven places.
just wait til the trucker boycott hits
you ain’t seen nuttin’ tet
“There is a pizzaria on the corner of 1rst ave and 11 or 12 st.”
Can’t speak for the Pizza there, but there is some DAMN-GOOD Mac and Cheese at 1st and 12th.
$18.00
The Ooni pizza oven is your friend. Propane fired. I take my bottom stone to about 700F.

When I was in high school, it was 15 cents a slice for cheese! LOL
When I was a teen - my early 20s, the subway and bus was 15 cents!
To add to this inflation talk...as a child, penny candy cost me A PENNY!
Which is WHY, today's prices blow my mind and makes me think of Germany's prices after WW I.
Wrong-o on this, unforgiving person. Mannie's House of Pizza in Nashville's Arcade ruled the roost here before he retired out (who was from New Yawk and sounded like a Soprano's cast member). There's a local non-chain nearly everywhere doing their best for the least price they can charge.
Our problem is the cost of fuel and energy from this truly criminal regime's moves to destroy sensible means to obtain it while we still sit on a virtual ocean of petroleum. And trying to outlaw cows and 2 percent of our very atmosphere that plant life requires.
(exhales)...Capers on a pizza in Germany surprised me being excellent. They're tightly bound pods of pungent pollen.
