WVIA Short Documentary Series : Pizza!
- Thread starter rudedude
- Start date
Oh yeah. I watched that episode. I have to circle back and watch the rest.
First episode of Ugly Delicious on Netflix also a great pizza show.
How someone can grow up five miles from a place and never knew it existed..... I even asked family members abd they never heard of the place .
Going to have to try it next time I'm home.
If only Cos would make it on a somewhat regular schedule. Fridays are for sure but other supposed days are a crapshoot.
Very common for those all cash pizza shops to try to outsmart the IRS.
Update, Cos has said pizza on Fridays and Sundays for now. That could change in a week!
I miss Lio's Pizza in Linglestown so much. I'd pay $100 for a pizza steak or an italian right now. I know I'll never taste that dough again, it was so perfect.
The best stuff down here these days is Jets. Their deep dish is so indulgent. I know it's a chain, but it's small and it's crack.

I’ve had Jet’s out here. It was waaay too heavy for me. I light a light and airy crust. Either in Old Forge style or Detroit style.I miss Lio's Pizza in Linglestown so much. I'd pay $100 for a pizza steak or an italian right now. I know I'll never taste that dough again, it was so perfect.

You ever have that one Rude? I haven't because it doesn't look like something I'd like which is just stupid.
I agree, never had it and not so sure I would go out of my way to get it. I would try a slice, but does not really look that appealing to me.
Have you had Jigsy’s in Enola? I’m an old forge guy through and through and their redos as good as I’ve had. Having said that, their Chick Fil J — white pizza with chicken and pickles — is crave worthy.I miss Lio's Pizza in Linglestown so much. I'd pay $100 for a pizza steak or an italian right now.

I live in FL now so haven't had a chance but wlll keep this in mind when I'm in town.
Absolutely polarizing. I grew up in North Jersey and loved my NY style. Moved to Bucks 30 years ago and loved the Philly style. My sales territory is the entire state of PA, MD NY and Delaware so I've tried every pizza in every corner of the state. Also so many in France, Wales, London, Greece and all over Italy. My (Our) favorite so far is the "Rosa" and Bianco Verde pies at Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix AZ. It was a 2 hour wait last November but well worth it. Experiencing pizza throughout the country and the world is a passion. I noticed Pepe's in New Haven has become a franchise so I'll need to go to New Haven first. I tried all the local Philly places which could be a separate thread. Like to hear what others think.
Pepes doesn't franchise- every location is family owned, uses the same ingredient suppliers, and same menu. They even went so far as to have the original oven doors replicated by having molds made of the originals. I'd still try New Haven first, but they have done a remarkable job of protecting the brand. We've also tried the Mohegan Sun, Danbury, and a couple of their other locations and it's legit at all of them. We were at the Manchester shop last month, and one of the family was there - something they do regularly.
I’ve never had Cebula’s but, to me, it looks like the old Conforti’s on Main Ave near Taylor.
Me too! Pepe’s, then Modern, the Sal’s. I have massive cravings for that New Haven style. So damn good (from a guy that did 16 yrs in Manhattan, NY style is Ok)
If you’re ever in the Anthracite Coal Region area here are a few to try
Mt Carmel
Matucci’s - been around forever and is still a staple for Friday Night football pre-gaming. Unique flavor and when done “like the old days” it’s tremendous. Also share an Anti-pasta with house dressing.
The bar area was just the-opened after being closed for months due to water damage from the apartment above - looks really nice.
I may give it a try tonight 
Shamokin
Me Pizza - simple sheet pizza with a single piece of pepperoni
on each slice - very simple but great - just had it the other day.
Mt Carmel again
Hollywood Pizza and Bakery - again been around forever and sometimes consistency with current workers is questionable, but when it’s on it’s great. Get a few cups of their hot
sauce to put on it.
Marion Heights
Tower of Pizza - very old and guarded recipe. I was neighbors with the original owner and very good friends with the current owner - only like three to four people know the actual recipe. It’s a thin sheet style pizza that uses sliced cheese. Recommend the Hot Cheese 
and Pepperoni pie. Slices are small strips and I can pretty much eat a half sheet bt myself

I'm going to be in that area later today and I might just do that.
I have yet to try that but I think I’ll make it a priority next time I’m in town.
Pizza Perfect is on my list and I will get there soon.
For you folks that love a good slice off the bakery sheet, Tgar has slices the other day from Tuzzi’s in Berwick. This is down right delicious sheet pizza and the white with garlic sensational.
Plan on serving small bites of both this weekend as an appetizer during the Steelers game with shrimp and bacon on top.

My daughter and friends had Giuseppes last week and thought it was great. I think it's the same recipe as the original Brothers. If it is, the original must have been mismanaged because my friends and I graduated in the mid 90's and ate it 24/7. They must have finally ran out of our money.
