Whew, now that that is out of the way, back to the original topic, PIZZA. Neither of us can claim something as our "absolute favorite" very easily. Neither of us have ever had a favorite color, animal, hobby, anything. But I can say with assurance, PIZZA is it. The top dog, numero uno, we can't get enough.
As we have traveled around California and other places, we have pretty much found all the best donuts in every city and we are now onto Pizza. And so I reach out to you, dear readers from around the globe, where is your favorite place to get Pizza? What do you get on it? I am serious in my request to know your favorites as I will most likely try them all, regardless of where they are. Greece, South Dakota, or Orem, I am a respecter of all places.
As far as our favorites. In the central valley, no doubt- Me N Eds. In San Francisco- DeJa Vu.... you may say what? why not delfina.... mainly because we're cheap and we like cheap pizza. Here is a pic of some of us Bakers and Rozier-Bakers at DeJa Vu
Please feel free to give any recommendations cheap or expensive or in an insanely remote place. And if I don't know you, what better way is there to bond than over pizza?

Round Table... maui zowie!!
i have two in new york: artichoke and lombardi's.
We love Skipolini's Pizza. They are awesome. They are in Antioch, Clayton, Concord and Walnut Creek. You should go to the Clayton one. So cute. It is like an old house and they have sawdust on the floor. Check out their web site www.skipolinispizza.com They have pictures or all the places. Hope you can try it.
Don't know what it's called, but it's the only walk-up pizza place on Venice Beach, CA, north of the cafe and book store; just go up to the window to order. It's a big, thin slice that you fold up to eat. Mmm.
Zachary's in Berkeley is the best! I love their Chicago style pepperoni.
In Alameda I love Bowzer's bad boy.
My favorite last week was the chicken artichoke pesto at Village Pizza in Truckee! You know I love Pizzeria Uno on Lombard in SF and everywhere else they sell it. When you get to hot dogs put me down for J-Dog in Provo. By the way, aren't you a little slow in announcing your baby blue new arrival?!
These are fabulous, keep them coming.
Mmmmmm...pizza. I have to say that my pizza lover friend has been RAVING about the Maui Zowie from Round Table (which Brock mentioned) so perhaps I will have to cave and finally try it. Here is my list of favorite pizzas (in no particular order):
1. Me'n'eds
2. Goat cheese and pesto pizza at Piattis in Montecito
3. any pizza at Mama's Meatballs in SLO
4. any pizza at Two Amys in DC
5. Trader Giotto's frozen Italian pizza (the closest thing you will ever find to pizza hot out of the oven in Italy).
My favorite is just a plain old ham pizza from Florentina's (My first job) in Clovis (Shaw and Armstrong). Somehow, it is even better the next day, reheated. They have amazing calzones as well (I recommend the ham, linguica, pepperoni, olive, and chedder).
At Herndon and Fowler, you can try Pizza Fusion which reminds me of a hippie type SF pizza place with organic pizzas and beers...little more than Florentina's, but less than Me-N-Eds. Near the Subway, (Where the old Me-N-Eds was) at Herndon and Tollhouse, is a cool little pizza place too...some kind of mobster name that I can't remember, but try these out the next time you are in town and Call us so we can share a pie with you two...and then go get some chocolate malted crunch and watch an 80's movie.
From the San Luis Obispo area, try Woodstock's, but only for their frosted cinnabread pizza...I'm not as big of a fan as their pizza, though it is still good. But that cinnabread makes an amazing dessert snack for the ride home or around town.
Nicolitalia's, Orem, Utah.
lobster pizza on the appetizer menu at Red Lobster.

Ok, you've finally lured me into posting a comment! I can't believe I'm doing this, but I guess after 1.5 years of stalking your blog, it's time to finally come clean. I know Christian Hansen, Stephanie's husband and one time I was on her blog and clicked on your blog, thinking you were someone I knew... turns out I don't know you. But was the post that was up:
http://get-weird.blogspot.com/2008/02/no-diggity-no-doubt.html
I have been hooked ever since. Your blog is awesome, what more can I say.
As for pizza, I really only know East Coast pizza. I would have to go with Grimaldi's in Brooklyn, NY for delicious pizza, Muzzarelli's in Manhattan (only their cheese slices, nothing else) for the best hole-in-the-wall pizza, Totono's pizza in Manhattan for the best upper-scale pizza, and for funky delicious pizza, Fig's in Boston.
We can be blog friends if you want, so that you don't feel weirded out by me, but my blog is not like yours, it is very boring. SO, you take it or leave it. =) Just click on my profile link and there's a link to my e-mail.
Caio!
Another vote for J-Dawgs - Oh baby, 5-0 style. That's right, mayonaise and special sauce. That's it.
Okay back to pizza. My favorite pizza memories are from Argentina, and I think it has to do with the fact that pizza isn't common there, and dinner non-existent for missionaries - so at 9:30 after a long day, there was nothing quite like the plain cheese pizza, simple sauce, and hard-boiled egg wedges, one per slice. I sometimes didn't even mind the green olives!
I've been blog stalking you for 23 years but didn't know what to call it. Still hoping for a pic of the new family member.
Well, Me-n-Ed's valley veggie- duh.
But if I have to eat Pizza in Salt Lake, I'll go with Setto Bello or Veggie Extreme at The Pie.
P.S. When I was out last week my date asked me what my favorite food was and I said Pizza- like I'm a 7 year old boy or something.
pizza pipeline of course. RIP JAROM KUBIK.
i'm so glad that you made this post. robbie and i love pizza. we ate it at least once a week in paris and usually it was bad but we were determined to find it. the best place in paris is called pizza vesuvio between the mabillon and st. germain de pres metro stations. it's SO cheap if you take it out (7 euros average for a pizza shared by two people).
also, creme fraiche on a pizza is surprisingly amazing. we discovered this when we went to caen (in normandie). if you by any chance are going to caen they have good pizza restaurants.
oh and i can't forget the margherita pizza from nicolitalia in provo. i can't ever deny my love for nick.
Holy smokes... I cant believe im just seeing this post. Pizza is BOTH of our most favorite foods! Im talkin FAV. Anna worked at a pizza place in high scooll (z pizza, pretty good, but dang pricey) she ate pizza for 1 and a half years straight. its still her favorite food. We got free pizza every night for 2 months straight in Shanghai (new york style pizza, the best in shanghai. get the hells kitchen) Soooo.... I hope all that qualifies us to be pizza lovers. ANYWAYS.... The Pie in SLC with brekfast bacon is up there, but if I had to choose one... this is no joke, my favorite pizza of all time was just discovered a few years ago. In Huntington Beach, Goldenwest and Warner, right by the El Pollo Loco. LAMPPOST PIZZA. I think all we've ever had is the sausage. But I think anything is gonna be a homerun. Plus its a place where kids go after there little league games, so its fun.

Double doosy here: creepster comment and on an old post! (Alicia Barney here, from BYU days, friend of Laura, Monica, etc. Hi!)
Wanted to comment for awhile because I read you, and here's some good pizza:
In Chicago, for thin-crust authentic Naples style: Spacca Napoli. For deep dish, which is good once you leave your idea of pizza at the door: Gino's East (spinach and cheese).
american dream pizza, corvallis oregon - hands down best in the world. if you were a fool, which i assume you are not (although CA has a way of changing that..) then you would skip this. corvallis rocks the party that rocks the body so make a vacation out of it - next anniversary or something. you can stay with my parents, totally romantic.
There is this place called Borrillos. It's in St. Augustine, FL and it is amazing. It's just like good old east coast pizza, big and thin. It's also really cheap. It's a little hole in the wall place and is so so good. It's right in downtown St. Augustine across from "the fort," just in case you and Brett ever venture out there.
I can't believe I let someone comment about Chicago pizza before me. Giordano's-deep dish (of course) half shrimp/ half canadian bacon. Close second-The Silo-Meat lovers-it's actually thin crust. Get out here and we'll treat.
