No. When the DelGrosso's expanded their water park, to include a lazy river, wave pool, and other attractions, they unfortunately eliminated the Texas hot dogs building as they needed the additional space. They did however add quite a few concessions buildings in the water park itself, including an authentic Philly Cheese Steak shop. The family went to philly and sampled many different cheese steaks, took samples back to Penn State's food science department, and "reverse engineered" the sandwich so that they are making pretty exact replicas of the authentic thing.

There are two Texas Hot Dogs locations still in Altoona, but unfortunately none at the park anymore.

It’s right across from the entrance to the park. You could throw a stone and hit it.

 

[psualt]

Is the Texas hot dog place still there (Austins?)

Yes. Just north or the entrance to the park.

Vinnie’s in Jericho, NY had an amazing Sicilian pie. So good that we went twice in the week the PGA was there in 19.

 

[Fac]

I go up that way at times for work. I'll try to stop in.

Cash and take out only. One size.

 

[Catch1lion]

I don't know if it's the best, but it's the one I crave the most, perhaps because it reminds me of happier times, when the world was sweet and carefree, and I had a lifetime of dreams in front of me. Sicilian at HiWay Pizza in State College. I have not been there in 10 years and it's the only reason I would consider a return to the area.

It doesn't taste anywhere near as good to me. IDK others thoughts on it.

 

[GregInPitt]

The Post, Louisville. Best I have had.

 

[PearlandLion]

1- Park Pizza in Williamsport
2- Pete and Eldas in Neptune, NJ

 

[olelion]

It was New York, New York on California St. downtown Denver in the 80's. It might have been because ahving moved out there from Pittsburgh in 1980, I was searching and searching for decent pizza. That place fit the bill because it was there when I needed it

 

[Dragons 62]

Centiole's in Girardville PA right in coal country. Girardville is perhaps best known for their St. Patty's parade, which will be held March 26th, 2022. If you go to the parade be sure to visit the Hibernian House (think Molly Maguires) where the fun will continue through the night. Centiole's is almost always sold out on parade day, but give it a try.

My wife grew up da street from Centioles. Good pie. 2 Centiole slices with a screamer. Perfect

 

[Erial_Lion]

I like Nirchis in upstate New York

They make the best breakfast pizza. I grew up on Nirchis.

If you live in Pearland, why are you sharing Eastern pizza joints? Nothing better in your hood?

 

[Dragons 62]

La Casa de Pizza Lewisburg......Hamburger and onion Wow
Bizzaro Pizza in the Melbourne Beach area as I remember. Massive slices that you need two hands
I know this is about domestic pizza....But wifey and I had some out f-ing standing pies in Montepulciano while topping off with some unbelievable Tuscan Reds

 

[PearlandLion]

Nope. Pearland and Houston have outstanding food but subpar pizza. The two I shared are the two best I’ve enjoyed and happen to come from a couple old haunts from yesteryear.

 

[FTLPSU]

Johns of Bleeker Street

Joes the Slice "Original one"

 

[Iionscott]

My wife grew up da street from Centioles. Good pie. 2 Centiole slices with a screamer. Perfect

i am sure she remembers Marrones. Was a Great ItalIan restaurant in Girardville

 

[gslachta1]

There are three of them in Bergen County - Edgewater, Hackensack and Ridgewood.

My go to was Caputo’s in Fair Lawn from 1950 to early sixties. Spices in dough, stringy Mozzarella . I don’t know when they closed but we left north Jersey in late 60’s. (I left 1963 for Penn State) It’s like looking for the Holy Grail for me.

 

[nittanyfan333]

I grew up on NY style. For that, it doesn’t get any better than Ma and Pa’s pizza in Delta, PA. Best sauce I’ve ever had hands down.
When the wife was doing her residency in Milwaukee, she and I went to Chicago for a weekend and I tried Lou Malnati’s. It’s a chain in the greater Chicago area that does an amazing Chicago style. I’m hooked on that stuff. Whenever we go to Chicago we get a few frozen ones to bring back with us to NC.

 

[PSU1969A]

Like Matucci, Mount Carmel PA; any Old Forge pizza, especially Arcaro Genero (sp); Grotto, wilkes Barre and Delaware Shore.

 

[PSU Chicago]

Vetri Pizza … Neapolitan style.

 

[JohnJumba]

Macko and Krays, Port Vue.

Elbow Room, McKeesport.

 

[JakkL]

1. A little pizza shop outside of Pompeii ruins. No idea on the name.
2. Regina's in Boston on the North Side near Paul Revere's house.
3. Casseros at West shore market in Lemoyne PA.

Each was very different.

 

[NitfanUarkgrad]

Jioio's

 

[aferrelli]

My top 3:

1. Frank Pepes- New Haven, CT
2. Grimaldis- Brooklyn, NY
3. John's- Manhattan

I’ll second Frank Pepes as being the best; never had the other two, although I’ve heard of both of them.

 

[Yogiman71]

I do not live in Pa. anymore but growing up in Munhall we thought Mineo’s Pizza in Squirrel Hill was the best !

Agree with you on Casero Pizza in Lemoyne. When I travel up from DFW on business and to see family in Perrry County I try to stop by. It is worth the stop.

 

[Nohow]

Never had a pizza I didn’t like.

 

[LionJim]

Never had a pizza I didn’t like.

Lol. Let me think about this. Yeah, same.

 

[nepalion]

I live in NEPA, and IMO, the quality of Old Forge pizza has dropped plus our favorite place, Ghigarelli’s, has closed due to the owner “disappearing”. Hmmm….

agree. my mom's from old forge, have been going there for 50 years, and it has really dropped off. dunmore is the new old forge. but my favorite is maroni's in west scranton on st. ann's st.

 

[anon1712773474]

Loads of great pizza shops up and down Nepa valley but Mariano’s La Puccia in Exeter is the best I have had between travel from NY to LA and a number of places in between. Indescribably delicious with a bottle of red. (BYOB)

 

[JohnJumba]

Irene's East McKeesport when it was a hole in the wall and you had to eat in your vehicle. Went down hill when restaurant and bar opened.

 

[JohnJumba]

Pepes gave me the splatters.

 

[LionJim]

Pepes gave me the splatters.

Wow, what a vivid testimony to the power of the English language.

 

[Meat Lab]

My top 3:

1. Frank Pepes- New Haven, CT
2. Grimaldis- Brooklyn, NY
3. John's- Manhattan

If pizzas were manhole covers, the sewer would be a paradise.

 

[WVilleLion]

Sorrento, Italy. Or maybe the view was just so damn good it influenced my thinking. I do know it was quite good for sure.

 

[JohnJumba]

My wife grew up da street from Centioles. Good pie. 2 Centiole slices with a screamer. Perfect

Screamers is an apt description.

Sad news for NEPA pizzaphiles: Here and Now Brewery is closing up shop as of Jan 3rd. This is a major bummer as good pizza places around us are now getting far and few between.

Maroni's is good, as is Brownies nearby there.

Sadly, we never made it up that way. A couple of weeks ago we had plans to get there and the hit the fan. I was even checking out the beer selection that morning. I hope they regroup and reopen soon.

Supposedly doing future “pop ups” whatever that means. At least you won’t have the sadness after having had their food and beer like I do knowing it won’t be a regular opportunity anymore.
