As someone who has worked in the pizza business, I've had my share of pizzas. They are not all made alike. The best I've ever had was at the Tropicana in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and was a white pie made with lump crab meat. It cost $30, but I won enough money at the casino to cover it. The best CHEAP pizza I ever had also had shellfish on it - for a limited time, the pizzeria I worked for made a pizza with shrimp and garlic butter with parsley on a thin crust. Cost $10, but that was years ago.

My favorites when I made them myself were steak and cheese pizza with onions peppers and mushrooms, ricotta base; bbq chicken with red onions and sweet baby rays; and ricotta base, sliced tomatoes, then cheese on top of the sliced tomatoes.

My dad came back from Chicago one time and had a pizza with pasta under the sauce. I don’t remember much else other than that poo poo was amazing. More recently I’d get the same thing from Blaze or Mod pizza every time. Chicken, tomatoes, onions, buffalo sauce, roasted garlic cloves, and corn if they have it. Simple and delicious every time

It's my wife's favorite place in the Tropicana but it's a bit difficult to eat there with just 2 people. Edit: Probably my favorite pizza was a deep dish from Bella Bacinos on Wacker. I have no idea what was on it. Looks like they closed about 7 years ago.

We did half seafood (shrimp, crab) and half chicken with both sides having their signature roux sauce. I'm not sure it was the best pizza I've ever had but it was pretty good, the crust was nice and light/crispy kind of like how cauliflower crust pizza tends to be. I'd post a pic but I guess imgur is still broken on the app

With that in mind, I couldn't put my finger on a specific one, but it was definitely something either I made myself or a coworker made off menu. Sometimes we would just work with what we had but tried to figure out any way to do something different. Occasionally we would go next door to Sprouts (sort of an upscale grocery store) and pick stuff up to make pizza with different toppings and ingredients than we had on hand. Even something simple like fresh minced garlic makes a big difference over garlic powder or prepackaged sauce. Lots of the time it wasn't so much that we were trying to be fancy or the stuff we had was bad or anything, but when you've done it long enough and exhausted all the regular options, you try to figure out some way to get a little creative when its goddamn pizza for dinner again for the elevendybillionth time.

A ham and cheese calzone at Il Zodiaco in Cagliari, about twice the size of a regulation football. I could only eat half of it because my starter was pig fat and fish eggs, and that takes a lot of your appetite.

Best pizza I've ever had was from a place in Portland, OR called Eat Pizza. They shut down shortly before COVID hit, RIP. Never had a more perfectly cooked pizza crust in my life. Thin but not insanely so, very crispy on the bottom, just perfection. My go-to order was sausage, black olives, ham, and either bell peppers or pepperoncini with garlic and olive oil instead of tomato sauce.

The only complaint I have about Mod is that sometimes they gently caress up the cooking time. I've had a couple pizzas that were underdone. My sweet spot is just a little longer than what they normally do too, but gently caress asking for special consideration if they're slammed with people

the best way to elevate a pizza is probably just add seafood to it, a shellfish of some kind

They burn everything every single time. I’ve not been in like a year because of it.

The top tier vegetarian pizza has breaded eggplant on it that’s crispy like a really good eggplant parm.

Best pizza I ever had was in Tsukubamirai, a mid-size suburb of Tokyo. This was like 12 years ago when I was teaching English there. Some rando elderly guy in my neighborhood got tired of retirement, hosed off to Italy for a year, and then came back and opened a brick-oven pizza joint out of a tiny trailer. $10 for a 12" made-to-order hand-tossed Margherita that absolutely hosed beyond all human comprehension. The shop was at the end of my long run route, so twice a week I'd roll in fresh from a 20-miler, slam an entire pizza at the shop and get another one to take home. It looks like the shop has closed since I left, but I still think about that pizza all the time.

Frank Pepe in New Haven. Hopefully I'm making a good pizza this week, if the office signs off on my recipe. Thai Coconut Chicken. Chef liked the prototype.
