Best Pizza Joints

So, What's The Best Pizza Joint ever for you? I have fond
memories of certain Pizza places, some relating to actual
quality of the food and other's more for ambiance. Some just
SUCK no matter what. I'm talking about you Domino's!!!!
Pizza Hut was okay back in the last 70's, but I never really
went there much. There were better places, much closer to home.
Organ Power Pizza was more of an Event and not so much about
food quality. I remember liking it, but I remember the the
little pathway for kids to crawl in to get into the Arcade and
the Organ itself.
Mr' G's had awesome pizza and I spent a good portion of my
childhood down there playing Donkey Kong and when my Baseball
team won the whole league, that's where we celebrated at. It was
actually during first year Pony League.
Papa John's sucks. Value wise it's a joke. You get nothing and
you pay twice as much. Plus, their ingredients make me want to
hurl. I have the same opinion for Little Caesars Pizza as well.
It's not as bad, but still....
Chicago Brother's at one time was the IT place to be. The line
around the building was a f*cking joke. Took too long to get
inside and get take out. It was good, but to this day, I still
don't know why that place was like Studio 54, with the crowd
that gathered everyday there.
Filippi's Pizza Grotto was good back in the 80's and sadly, it
was the last time I actually ate there. I haven't been there
since then. I checked Yelp for local reviews and it's now one of
the worst reviewed Pizza joints on San Diego. Bummer.
So, it comes down to a match up between Square Pan Pizza Vs. Mr.
G's. I really love Mr. G's, but I gotta go with Square Pan Pizza
as being the all time best for me. The crust. Cheese and
Pepperoni never failed to deliver for me and along with Mr. G's,
I miss having it around.

I only remember the back room at Mr G's...I really don't
remember the pizza taste at all....did some pizza partys after
baseball etc as a kid....but it doesn't really stand out in
terms of the food for me.
Chicago Brothers I worked there for 3 years...they had damn good
pizza....when Dominoes first came to San Diego I did like their
pie...I was a kid...but I do think it was better back then.
I still love Filippis and it's still there....so it's cool
because you can reminisce and actually go back in time (today)
and basically walk into that same restaurant you knew and liked
as a kid.
Swenson's I did love....but that's a whole other thread
:)

Explain to me what Chicago Brother's always had a line running
outside and around the building. I remember the Pizza being
awesome, but I still can't wrap my head around it drawing the
crowds it had. As for Filippi's, any truth to all the bad
reviews on Yelp. Some say it's burnt, some say it's
under-cooked, some say they don't add any spices, some say that
the sauce is horrible now and other's say that the turn around
time averages 30 minutes for a Pizza. I do want to go back and
check it out again, so I will let you tell me what to get that
doesn't suck.

Good pizza is like holy grail for me. I've found only a couple
of excellent pizzas.
Long ago there was a Nobel Romans that I could eat just about
every day. Their ingredients were the perfect combination of
tasty and spicy.
The 2nd pizza joint was Planet Hollywoods fresh tomato pizza. It
was simple, light and so tasty. Completely different than the
typical pizza. So that was vacation and I got to experience that
only twice. I've been searching ever since for either kind.

I take it that Nobel Romans is a Mom and Pop Joint then? I've
never heard of it. Definitely not a nationwide chain.

I think they were closed between 3 and 5 PM...so maybe you saw
the dinner crowd lining up?
that would be my guess.
Deep Dish pizza isn't for everyone and a lot of it sucks...so
when I tell people I worked at a Deep Dish pizza place I always
feel like I need to say...they actually had very good pizza.
plus they had Ribs and really good Lasagna and
Sandwiches....also a few really good salads.
man there salads were the best/ (the ranch dressing we made from
scratch was so fucking good

Nobel Romans was a chain, but a local chain... Like two states.
