boyst Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I cannot believe anyone actually thought I would think Little Caesers is the best pizza. But for $5 and if you're in a hurry - it is amazing. However...The Loop in Charlotte is always fun...but that's not the same city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Bocce? boy it must be good as it was the best pizza around in the freaking 1960's That place should get some prize for longevity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsForever Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Not sure my opinion matters as this is a Canadian perspective looking upon the Buffalo food scene, but just thinking about a cheese and pepperoni pizza from Bocce is making me salivate. We can't get pizza like that just north of the border. Love it! As for the wings, to get the most crispy and juicy wings is to not deep fry them but to steam or boil them for 10 minutes. Take them out, pad them TOTALLY dry with paper towels. Then put them in the oven at 450 degrees for 40-50 minutes, turning them over half way through.

Chef Jim Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 blasphemy (though I will try it one day)...throw them on the grill a bit (just a bit) after you fry them is also a nice little trick The keys: 1. Big meaty wings but not too big 2. Hot oil 3. Clean oil And that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomper Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Bocce's on Bailey no question....always ask for pep and banana peppers, x-tra sauce, lightly well done and it's perfect every time. That's not to say that they're are the only ones who make a great pie...there are plenty of places who make a very respectable pizza all over the area...we're lucky, try getting a decent slice in N.California some time...it's impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because what you refer to as pizza in WNY is so far removed from what ture original pizza is is laughable. Go to North Beach in SF and you'll get some of the best flat bread pizzas ever. What is served in places like Buffalo and Chicago are doughy greasy abominations. Hence my post that in Buffalo the best place to get pizza is the airport. Step one...leave the city.

gomper Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 oh Chef, I beg to differ. I travesred all of North Beach in October when I was in town for the NLCS(up and Columbus and such) and the slices I ate, while being passable, were no where near the taste of the pizza in WNY. I did have a blast at the North Star though...i'm sure you know where that place is Chef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 flat bread pizza sucks. and I'm pretty sure that the pizza you find in California is not particularly close to tasting like "true original pizza" "Original" pizza served in Naples is thin crust and very simple. It is almost cracker like. But go ahead and argue culinary history with a chef. La Nova La Hacienda Bella is good too Why are you here? You hate Buffalo and you hate the Bills and won't let anyone forget it. It's quite perplexing. Oh I like Buffalo I just don't like their pizza. Well now that I think about it I'm not real fond of Buffalo either. oh Chef, I beg to differ. I travesred all of North Beach in October when I was in town for the NLCS(up and Columbus and such) and the slices I ate, while being passable, were no where near the taste of the pizza in WNY. I did have a blast at the North Star though...i'm sure you know where that place is Chef Because you don't like thin, and I mean thin, crust pizza, which is how pizza was originally made. There is nothing wrong with that. I used to love WNY pizza too until I moved to SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have you been to Naples? I can slap tomato sauce on a saltine...is that like "original pizza"? You're just a tad bit pretentious, eh?

BuffaloBillsForever Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Saying WNY pizza is not pizza is an elitist take. Pizza is simply a flat bread, cheese tomatoes and other toppings. How flat the bread is not important - only to ones tastes. Its still pizza! Edited May 4, 2011 by BuffaloBillsForever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just a tad bit pretentious, eh? I've also never been to Emilia-Romagna but I know how they make prosciutto di parma. Better to be pretentious than ignorant. Saying WNY pizza is not pizza is an elitist take. Pizza is simply a flat bread, cheese tomatoes and other toppings. How flat the bread is not important - only to ones tastes. Its still pizza! I never said it wasn't pizza. It's just a terrible rendition of the original. I prefer the original. Now does that mean I won't eat pizza when in WNY. Hell no. As they say pizza is like sex. Even when it's bad it's good. Edited May 4, 2011 by Chef Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
