I just received this article from Bake Magazine<\/em>, based on a post from The Daily Meal <\/em>newsletter, listing their top 101 pizzas in the USA.\u00a0 As I read through it I was pleased to see how many of these pizzas I have personally tasted (about half — wow, I forgot how much pizza I’ve had over the years and how many places I’ve visited) and also thought of a few places I think should have made the list and, also, which ones I think may be over-rated or good but not top 101 worthy.<\/p>\n

Of course, we all have a favorite place, probably unknown outside our community, that we think the world needs to knows about but probably never will.\u00a0 In “American Pie: My Search for the Perfect Pizza<\/em>,” I wrote of two kinds of perfect pizzas, the paradigmatically perfect<\/em> and the contextually perfect<\/em> pizza. The first is a pizza that is so well executed and delicious that it is intuitively to obvious to anyone how great it is even if they’ve had no history with the place, while the second is perfect because of a personal connection we have with the place, such as childhood memories or relationships forged there associated with the flavors, aromas, and taste memories associated with that pizza. And, of course, sometimes a place is perfect in both categories — how lucky we are to know such a place (and most of us do). This top 101 list is obviously aimed at the first category, not based on memories or associations but with execution and pure flavor, and I would love to hear from you of any places you think should have made the list based on that criteria.\u00a0 Here’s the link so check it out and then let’s start a thread here with your thoughts: http:\/\/www.bakemag.com\/Trends\/News\/News%20Home\/2015\/8\/101%20Best%20Pizzas.aspx <\/a><\/p>\n

Looking forward to hearing if you concur with these findings, think a great place was overlooked, or any other comments regarding top 101 lists and the like. Pizza elicits strong emotions so let’s keep it civil and constructive; no bashing other people’s opinions or yelling. Pizza is, above all, fun, so let’s keep this comment thread fun too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
