OT: Best pizza in FW?

[CountryFrog]

I'm am equal opportunity pizza eater. I'm offended by the idea that one may be better than the others.

My grandfather worked on the Totino’s building as a bricklayer. The pizza there was good. The frozen stuff of the same name not so much.

Grew up not far from Torino Grace. My grandfather lived very near it until the day he passed. I have funny football stories about playing Totino Grace including probably the first ever recorded non-hockey portal transfer in MN high school football when the Irondale QB from my junior year somehow ended up as the starting QB for TG my senior year without having to sit a year per conference rules.

On a different note, Redd’s Savoy pizza in St Paul is bar none the best pizza I’ve had anywhere in the country. Until it closed. The impostor franchises are not the same. I miss the Savoy.

For a while I worked literally next door to Red's Savoy. I took my team there for lunch a couple times and got takeout for other events. The three things about that restaurant were that 1) it took your eyes 15 seconds to adjust to the dark when you went inside, and 15 more to not be blinded when you went back out, 2) several years after indoor smoking was banned, the place still reeked of smoke, and 3) somehow that restaurant was a target for cars, mostly coming off of the Lafayette Bridge. They eventually installed a long concrete pillar on the south side of the building to save people.

I'm guessing you might be just a couple years too young, but did you ever have Mario's Pizza? There were maybe five of them at one time - one in Mpls., one Bloomington Southtown,... I think it was about five times better than Savoy. My brother and I cried when they closed.

I don’t remember Mario’s unfortunately.

Anybody else watch Dave Portnoys pizza reviews? Here’s my favorite-

I love Portnoy and his pizza reviews but I hadn't seen that one. Hilarious.

Mama’s is eternal.

Campisi’s is Dallas mafia food. Bleh.

There’s a Mama’s Pizza opening in Granbury (may have already opened). Wonder if this could be the same enterprise.

Any fans of pumpkin pizza?

Ha scheissing ha! To hell with the both of yous.

Back in the early-ish 80's there was a pizza place a block or 2 east of the TCU campus on the north side of Berry. Don't remember the name, but it used 1 or more Greek letters.

Awful. The worst pizza I have ever tried. Smell reminiscent of formaldehyde. We took the box - with 95% of the pizza remaining - to the guys in the Tom Brown tv room and said, "Free pizza!" None of them took more than 1 bite.

Tell you how hard I am to please, loved their stromboli!

I think the waitresses had all worked there for decades and probably contributed 75 percent of that cigarette smoke.

My favorite in Austin is probably Home Slice.

I know two of the minor investor/owners of that place. It does well.

It’s long gone and you needed a bib for the grease but Pie R Square on Camp Bowie west was really good.

Whenever you see them, do you say, "what up?"

 

[thefrogking]

Jet’s pizza is really good.

Prima's Pizza and Pasta at the corner of Hulen and Granbury Rd. Not a bad way to spend some time.

Chicago thin cut in squares - like Broadway Pizza in Minneapolis. @froginmn knows what I’m talking about.

Party cut pizza is an abomination. If a round pizza is not cut radially it is a culinary crime.

Cool. But wrong.

Not pizza, but we tried Cookshack on University. Maybe the best chicken tenders I have ever had.

I grew up in FW, so Mama’s is my hands-down favorite. The Berry Street location is a time capsule with TCU stuff on the walls, right down to the Temple Tornado hype poster, will all the ink not cyan faded away. Not only is the quality of the pizza completely unchanged, but the high school girls behind the counter have a laissez-faire, disaffected air about them, consistent since at least the early 80s.
