I am a pizza guy. If I am doing to go food for the family it is usually pizza. Here are my favorites. What are your's?

Toppings - I don't really like pepperoni that much. I like sausage mostly and do really like the all meat pizzas. Onions and mushrooms are normally the only veggies that I put on the pizza. BBQ chicken and BBQ sauce do NOT belong on a pizza. If you put pineapple on your pizza you are going to hell.

Sit down - Hideaway. Big Country. Mazzio's is a close second (they recently brought back the Ken's recipes and crust). If I am in Tulsa I will take the opportunity for Andolini's.

Delivery - Papa Johns. Spicy Italian sausage, mushroom, and onion. Thin crust. I hate greasy crust on a pizza so pizza hut and Dominos are out.

Style - I LOVE New York slices. Not a big fan of the chicago style deep dishes. I have always thought about opening a small new york style pizza place in BVille with a drive through that you can get just a slice on the go.
 
I have lived in NYC and Chicago. I hate NYC style and love Chicago style.

Vito and Nicks is da bomb in Chicago. Lou Malnatis and Giadornos.

I also make a damn good homemade pizza. I add onions, green peppers, sausage, beef and bacon. Mozzarella.

The only thing I miss about NYC is getting fresh mozzarella.

In Frisco I am a big fan of Pizzeria Testa.

Take out I only get Papa Johns. I get The Works, drop the black olives and mushroom and add jalapeños.
 
Man we finally got a Papa John again in Shawnee and I am really happy as I think Pizza Hut, Dominos, Mazzio's are all shit here.

Sit down I really like Upper Crust but I enjoy the pizza as well as a salad and wine selection they have there. The wife loves Hideway so I eat there a lot also. The Da Bomb at Hideway is awesome.
 
My go to pizza is Canadian bacon, jalapeno, and PINEAPPLE. Hell yeah! You get sweet, savory, spicy, salty, all in one. Nothing better.

Ever tried NYC Pizza in Tulsa? Its legit.
 
I'm not a pizza snob but I'm not sure you can be a pizza guy and list Mazzio's and Papa John's among your favorites.

Also BBQ chicken pizza is great. I don't care what anyone says.

My all time favorite was Crystals pizza in OKC, sadly they are all gone or at least they changed their suppliers and now the pizza tastes like garbage.

Can't go wrong with Stillwater Hideaway, definitely love their Big Country but the wife always gets a Pizza of the God's.

Most NY pizza is garbage although I do like Lombardi's.

Gino's east or Lou's in Chicago is the best. I have a buddy of mine who has a client send him pizza's from Lou's that are still great. There are a couple of Gino's now in DFW, I've only been there once but it was good.

I think there are still Godfathers in OK, I normally only see them in gas stations though. Liked their sausage pizza's and their old commercials.

Nowadays I'm stuck ordering Dominos because it's the only delivery place that I can get us all to agree doesn't suck.
 
I think Andolini's in Tulsa is as good as any pizza I've ever had in NYC or Italy for that matter.

And...I could drink a gallon of the Hideaway secret sauce each day.

Have any of you worked at the Stillwater Hideaway? Their crust is clearly different than the other Hideaways. Is beer the addition to the crust in Stilly?

What is the Hideaway "secret sauce?" I don't think I have ever had it.

Best pizza place of all-time, Gino's East in Chicago. Go to place in town, Pizza Hut meatlovers+jalapenos.
 
I will eat just about any pizza but for take out I would choose Marco's or Papa John's. We have a place in Lawton called Firo that's really really good. Build your own pizza like at a subway. They are starting to sell franchises now so I bet more will pop up.

Toppings I like bacon, hamburger, Canadian bacon and lots of cheese.

My mom and wife make really good homemade pizza too.

That's because the franchise locations are not the same food. The crust and secret sauce recipes are still only used in Stillwater. The original Hideaway crust and sauce is truly something special. I don't care for any of the other locations, although it's been many years since I tried any.

Hideaway Sicilian is hard to beat.
Can’t go wrong with meats on a hand-tossed crust.

Anyone been to Mod Pizza? It’s a choose your own toppings (Subway-style, but “fast casual” restaurant).

I'd say about once a year we try one of the OKC Hideaways because I forget how average it is, and I'm always reminded pretty quickly.

this

paper plate sized slice and a salad is a favorite meal

but you can't get a slice in okc
 
Never liked Stillwater Hideaway.

Hideaway in Edmond is excellent. There’s not another pizza place that I have found that is worth eating in OKC. In Dallas I will eat Lovers in Lakewood.
 
Anymore pretty much stick with Andolini's. We typically get the combination, but I have liked all the classic and luxury ones I've ever tried.

  • Burn Co. Pulled Pork
  • S.P.Q.R.
  • Clemenza
  • De Marco of Brooklyn
  • Athenian
One of the best I ever had was at a little hole in the wall place in Scottsdale (before the Fiesta Bowl) owned by true Neapolitans that had great Naples style pizzas.

Still like Hideaway in Stillwater once or so a year. Occasionally have it in Tulsa (usually Bixby). It's pretty good but not like in Stillwater.

I wouldn't feed Mazzio's to my dog.

LOVE Testa. The Testarossa with the spianata. Yum.

Cane Rosso at The Star is another Neopolitan style place that's pretty good.

I've recently bought a pizza oven for the house and am trying to perfect that style of pizza. Using the same flour and crushing San Marzano tomatoes for my sauce. It's fun.
