My local take out spot, Hot Box must own a million DiCarlos Pizza Boxes. I have to find out the story to this mystery one of these days.Problem with Ohio Valley is consistency - it’s not the same from place to pace. I grew up on Buzzy’s in Rochester where we would cook the pizza at home. Love the light airy crust and super chopped pepperoni. There is a winery in VA who makes it on property (owner is a Blackhawk HS grad) and it’s amazing. I’m not crazy for DiCarlo’s to be honest.

But that is Poppi! I’m going to Don Pepe in Newark tomorrow before a show.
Ate there many years ago, was not impressed. Wife was from Old Forge, Taylor area, some really good pizza there.Have always heard it’s (New Haven) the best in the U.S. I’m a die hard Ohio Valley-style pizza guy so anxious to how this stacks up.

It's on youtube as well.Never had any of the famous three in New Haven, but there is an interesting documentary on them.

There’s a link on the site to stream it.

So, style was familiar - basically high heat with charred edges (similar to wood fired IMO). It was excellent. The pepperoni was crisped and curled - just the right balance of chewy/crunchy. Cherry peppers were hot and good consistency. Sauce and cheese almost perfect too - almost the same in every bite; they don’t skimp on toppings. The best part though was the crust - integrity towards the middle of the pie breaks down in most wood fired/charred pizzas with thinner crust but this held up very well especially with a sauce with a good consistency.
I had mine at the location in Alexandria, VA and it’s the best I’ve had anywhere in NoVA outside of Quattro Goomba’s. Excellent overall IMO.
not pizza- casserole
Moms and I hate this schit
Yup. When the pizza making went cattywampus and they said "aw, screw it, make it like a casserole"not pizza- casserole
They had a Dicarlos here in Huntington circa 1985 right on Marshall’s campus. I think it was adult son. Anyway they left town I don’t think they could do enough volume here. But I did like his pizzaDicarlos in Wellsburg WV.
It's on youtube as well.
"It's not burnt, it's charred!"
T-minus 24 hours until I visit Franks for the first time. Sally's on Saturday. Maybe Modern on Sunday if we stay until then.
