Does all Pizza here suck??
I have been here for about 9 years (Roanoke Area) and I am yet to find a place that I crave for Pizza. Domino's should be legally forced to remove Pizza from any and all advertising. What is that cheese they use anyway? Their cheese defies the laws of cheese gravity that Newton says should exist. I thought mozzarella was supposed to be stringy? That stuff has the consistency of mortar. Pizza Hut is a step up but not much better.
iFrattelli's is ok but still not giving me that NY taste. I do like their thin crust though.
So is there a Pizza Place out here that has not been turned into a Tex Mex version of blandness or just heavy garlic? If you feel like blurting out Sbarro's please try to refrain  . |

understand exactly what you are talking about
we live in Hurst/Colleyville area and when the people who worked at the restaurante we used for pizza were deported by immigration (Albanians here illegally), we spend almost 5 months going from pizza place to pizza place to find one for our regular Friday night pizza ...
finally discovered restaurant on Hwy 26 between Glade and Hall Johnson Rd--called Bellissimo's--in an old Dairy Queen or something they remodeled...not fancy but we like the pizza---it is a busy place--
BYOB as many Italian places around here are...
I know it is a long way for you to go for pizza but it is fairly consistent and the cheese does not taste like soap in your mouth...crust is little thin though--but not like cracker crust--just not thick and gummy...

Have you tried Whole Foods? I think they have pretty good pizza by the slice. They're usually $5 for two giant slices.

Big Joe's Pizza has several locations throughout the FW area, though I don't believe there are any that close to Roanoke. The location I have been to, near N. Beach and 820, was great. New York style pizza (by the slice, of course), with the attitude, and a soda for about $1.50. The pizza is by far the best in North Texas. As far as I'm concerned Pizza Hut, Domino's, and Papa John's offerings do not qualify as pizza and barely qualify as food.

The pizza is as good in Texas as Tex mex is in New york.

I'm in the Roanoke area also and the best pizza I've found is Joe's Pizza in Solana. The owners are from Brooklyn and it's the closest thing to NY pizza I"ve found here.

I like Mr Jim's pizza better than any I've ever had, but that's just my personal taste. They use more tomato than most.
