SMN--What pizza joint?

Here in Bloomington, the pizza options are fairly limited compared to Champaign, especially since both towns are college towns, are approximately the same size, and are 45 miles apart.

Here, the best pizza is a place called Micheleo's. We order the Ozark, which has ground beef, bacon, tomato, onion, cheddar cheese, and barbecue sauce. It's damn good, but we usually eat it after we've been at the bar for 5 or 6 hours, so we're already dehydrated, so the amount of salt on that thing makes you feel thirstier than smoking an eighth of ditchweed, and no amount of beverage is enough to make it better. Plus, it seems to have about a 20% chance of giving me explosive diarrhea the following day, so I don't like to order it very often, and only when I am comfortable with the prospect of painting the bathroom ceiling all day long the next day.

Our other standby is Monical's, which is very thin crusted pizza, best enjoyed with a side of French dressing. You can find Monical's all over the place in downstate Illinois, and there are a couple in Wisconsin and Indiana as well.

Champaign has several great deep-dish and stuffed pizza joints. Papa Del's and Garcia's. Ask anyone who went to the U of I about Del's, and they'll get pissed at you for reminding them of what they're now missing. Sausage the size of your fist, and cheese you could strangle with.

I agree....but some of the not-so-big chains in Bham are good....Mellow Mushroom, Italian Pie, etc....I do like Dave's and DeVinci's in Homewood as well as New York Pizza....which brings me to a question since you are a chef yourself....what the hell does New York Pizza put in their sauce that makes it soooo good and different? Is it just sugar (what I heard)? Man, had it two weekends ago....mmmmmmmm. Also, Paterra's in Pelham makes a kickass pizza that will fill you up in 2 slices...thick muthas! (and their sandwiches rock like no place else!!!).

Johns is good and Ben's sicillian rocks, but come on guys. Everyone know's that Lombardi's easily destroys. First pizzeria in U.S. and A.! Nothing comes close.

@Amorone,
Where is Italian Pie? Never heard of it. Dave's is allright, I guess. I don't hate it. Cosmo's is garbage, although, for some reason, they can make a good calzone. Go figure. Rocky's is filth. Here's a tip for Rocky's: I'm all for hiring the handicapped, but don't let the burn-victim deliver the pies, okay?

New York Pizza, to me, is awesome because, unlike other joints, you can get the whole wheat crust at no extra charge. PLUS, they use FRESH garlic in their sauce. Not that minced shit floating in water or oil. Every decent red sauce recipe will have some amount of sugar in it.

Also, I'm not a Chef. I was never accreditted. I'm a cook, boy. Don't you forget it. Lotsa people in this burg like to fancy themselves "Chefs", but they ain't nothin' but cooks. There's 3 Chefs in this town. Chris Hastings, Frank Stitt & Daryl Borden. (I'm sure that "technically" there's more people who are actually Chefs, obviously, but, these guys are the only impressive talent I've run across so far.)

Italian Pie is on 280 behind Wendy's in that strip mall. They have them in Louisiana too. Not sure where else.

Ok, Mr. Cook (geeez, try to show a guy a little respect for his craft and he jumps your shit)....you still didn't answer me...what the hell is in New York Pizza's sauce? I swear it tastes sweet-ish but something else too. Damn addictive.

Next time I go there, I'll pay more attention to the sauce. Like I said, though, It's definitely fresh garlic.

Just messin' around about the "Chef" thing. In my line of work, every asshole dunking fries considers themselves a "Chef".
