Ok so when I first moved here I inquired about good BBQ / brisket places and got some great recs.

Now the question is pizza...having moved here from NY state, the choices seem very...well, weak.

I did find Big Lou's on WW White road which is actually quite good...any other recommendations?

I miss very little about NY...love it here...but the pizza...I miss good pizza...

Help!
Let’s Go Brandon!

For the thin crust New York style, there is miss Ellie's at bitters/281 and rays on blanco north of 410.

No promises that they'll replace New York's though

Florio's in Alamo Heights and 46th Street on Bulverde Road. For me that's the closest to NY/NJ pizza (not saying it's as good, but close as it gets here). Probably about as good as the best "Texas" bbq place you'd find up there

Marios NY Pizza off Bulverde/281.

Amazing if you like thin crust NY style. They get the dough from NY.

Another for Miss Ellie's.

Also Capo's, with locations at Broadway/410 and Blanco about a half-mile north of Bitters. Not strictly New York style, but dang good.

The folks that run Florio's are from New Jersey right down to the terse attitudes. My wife is from Jersey and loves that place.

That makes sense now. I asked a question about an item on the menu my first time in there two years ago. Response was rather short and I could tell he didn't really care to explain. I thought he might be having a bad day but knowing they are from Jersey explains it better.

Regardless, I will continue to go back as it is close to my office.

Poppy's on Blanco and 410 has really good NY Style pizza. The family that owns it is from NYC.

You'll find a few fan favorite places, but the reality is that there aren't many good places, just like there aren't many good italian places here. There's just not many italian people here. Chances are it'll always be lacking here. Just like there's not a bunch of great mexican places or great BBQ places in New York.
Greater love hath no man than this....

Capos is good, but sometimes their service is maddening, especially the Blanco store. Like Julians too.

Now I need pizza for lunch.

Naples in the Alon area is my favorite. Dough and Fralo's are excellent too. For a fast pizza, MOD is very good.

Check the Express-News... They are doing "52 Weeks of Pizza" right now with a new review every Friday. (They've also done 52 Weeks of Burgers and BBQ and 365 Days of Tacos in the past.)

total thread derail but you have no stars so I can't PM direct

on the travel board, You posted on a Scotland thread back in 2010 and I'm opening up an older thread but not hte one you posted on- don't want to pull them both up and have 2 places to see ideas, but if you can reply back to this one with any thoughts on your knowledge of Aberdeen, I sure would appreciate the advice - you really know that area based on the other thread

I think there are only two locations left.

We stopped going about 5 years ago because they totally revamped the menu, the service at the one by our house (Sunset Ridge) went in the tank, and one other lost their beer/wine license (281 & Bitters). The Quarry location is gone.

We revisited a couple of months ago, and the menu and service are back to the old way, but no one talks about EZs the way they used to. I think they have a long road to recovery.

Pure nostalgia, would always get the kids menu chicken tenders or the pizza. Damn I'm getting old

Bummer, used to go a lot as a kid. Drive in to go to the mall and stop by there for lunch.
