Official Pizza Appreciation!

Hit up Lillian’s in Forest Hills, Queens this past week. A nice quiet part of Forest Hills, at least as long as there isn’t a concert happening at the Tennis Stadium. I had to go there after seeing those Sicilians in this thread. As mentioned before, this is Ray Romano’s favorite spot. He grew up nearby and ate often at this pizzeria. They keep a signed pic of Ray by the door.

Pepperoni slice was good, nothing crazy. The Sicilians were better. Fresh out the oven, the cheese is better on the Sicilians than the regular slices. And the crust was crunchy. Especially for a Sicilian. Very interesting. It’s not doughy like the way places make their Sicilians. Thin, gooey cheese, crunchy crust. It’s a winner.

100 % agree, their Sicilians are better than their regular slices. The Sicilians have this chewy & soft texture to them that I love.
 
Did a drive to Boston today as well as Belmont, Mass. Hit up Florina in Boston which was superb. Thin & crispy crust with a very aromatic blend of cheese.

Then went to Belmont Pizza. One Bite gave it an 8.1 & to me that is low. The pizza here was thin, light & delicious so I think it's an 8.7 The staff was very nice too. Some pics of fall foliage driving through CT into MA & pics of Boston Common. The inside of Belmont Pizza has that old-school feel to it. They even have the old menu with the letters & #'s on it.

Costco pizza in the UK is trash in comparison to the States. Was disappointing.

I mean if you’re there and hungry it’s fine but outside of that…
 
Went to checkout Scarr's in Manhattan earlier today. They're really famous. The pizza was delicious & cheese was perfection. I really liked the mushroom slice. The sicilian was super pillowy as a Sicilian slice should be with a nice airy dough.

Before that I was chilling at the Cloisters museum in Manhattan so some bonus pics of that.

I can't even get myself to order a slice anymore, it's s that terrible. Was there today and NOPE, couldn't do it. Grabbed the $1.50 hot dog combo. Would have gotten the Chicken Bake but they were out and had to make more. Now THAT is delicious!
