Yeah, but you don't have Luna Pizza (Northampton) 10 minutes from you.
Definitely at least a 9 out of a 10 for "foodie" pizza. All organic ingredients, not greasy at all, and you don't feel like you've done something wrong after eating one! Ah, the crust - it is a work of art in itself!

BeGreen said:My favorite in NY style too. That is one of the great things about NYC. One can get a slice from an over the counter shop and it is usually pretty darn good. I grew up in lower NY state and we had a really outstanding local pizzeria run by a couple Italian brothers. Never had a bad pizza from there.
When we moved to Seattle in the mid-70's it was like a pizza wasteland. You couldn't find a good pizza to save your life. The worst were the new-age attempts with a whole wheat crust that was so heavy it sank straight to your feet. They were piled with so much crap that you might as well have been eating a country deep dish pie. That's when we started making our own. By the early-80's Seattle had fine pizza places and still does, but those early years were hard on the stomach.
BeGreen said:Pizza at Shakeys! Yep, you know exactly what we were going through.
Funny that you moved back east when the trend was the opposite. I moved up to the Berkshires in NW CT, as soon as I could and loved the area. My brother still lives in your neck of the woods. Many people don't realize what a beautiful countryside NY has once you go upstate.

Yeah, that's true. Most of the Seattlites I told about my move to NY thought I was going to the "Big Apple". There is so much more to New York outside of NYC. The neighboring Berkshires are great. Actually, I feel very comfortable around there, reminds me a lot of the Seattle flavor of life.
