• It was "Michele or bust" until I was pleasantly surprised by the authentic pies baked at OROPOMODORO in Rockville, Maryland! http://www.oropomodoro.com

• Like most New Yorkers I like to think the best pies in the states are right here and the best of the bunch is Patsy's, the original store on First Avenue between 117th and 118th Streets in Harlem.

• You missed the first TEXAS VPN restaurant, Cavalli Pizza in Irving, TX (Dallas Area). Amazing pizza and VPN.

• I've work in pizzeria since I was 15 years old. There is only one place I know of in the whole State of Florida that has the real pizza of the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana. Laurenzo's Italian Market.. 16385 W Dixie Hwy, North Miami Beach, FL. Because they're rules for Pizza Napoletana, All ingredients must be from the Campania region. I can't always make it up to Laurenzo's, so I make it at home. If you want to try REAL Pizza Napoletana, Laurenzo's has it.

• Tampa FINALLY has an authentic pizzeria it can be proud of. We're absolutely in love with Pizzaiolo Bavaro 813-868-4440 / 514 N. Franklin St. 101 Tampa, Fl 33602 / info@pizzaiolobavaro.com The founder and Pizzaiolo, Dan Bavaro, spent three years researching, training and traveling throughout the US and Italy to gather his vision and craft of pizza Napoletana. He crafts a delicious pizza and anyone in the area should definitely grab lunch or dinner at Pizzaiolo Bavaro!

• Sezz Medi in Harlem 122nd street and Amsterdam avenue,is probably one of the best around. They have a wood fired oven and the pizza is almost like in Napoli. If you go try the ripeino..... Just heaven formed from dough!!!!

• Alba in Boulder makes the best I've had in the states. They use the Italian 00 flour and their crust is perfect.

• You forgot about Di Farra in Brooklyn, NY. Serious essays have been written about this incredible hole in the wall. www.rosiedequattro.com

• The Good Pie in St. Louis, MO is the best Neapolitan- style pizza that I have tasted outside of Italy. My favorite pie is the Mast'nicola which is topped with perfectly cooked pancetta, pecorino, and sage. 3137 Olive St. St. Louis

• In St. Louis, Missouri you have to try Katie's Pizzeria. It's a tiny place with a quaint, candle-lit ambience. Old movies are projected on the wall above the bar, and none of the tables or chairs match. Local artwork and vintage mirrors line the walls, while large modern yet dreamy spherical chandeliers float from the ceiling. The pizza is made with a Neopolitan olive oil crust - not too thick, not too thin and definitely not St. Louis style. The toppings range in taste and genre, including squash blossoms, persimmon, wild mushrooms, Genoa Salami, Coppa Ham, Shrimp, Speck, Goat Cheese, Asparagus, Parsnips, Fennel and Cippolini Onions among many more. The salads and antipasto are equally tasteful. Katie's Pizzeria balances a progressive menu with a down to earth atmosphere and attitude. I highly recommend it! If you are staying in St. Louis, stop by the restaurant, or have it delivered to your hotel. KatiesPizzeria.com

• Luzzo's in New York City. And Una Pizza in NYC is no longer open.

• The best Napolitana pizza I've tasted outside of Naples is at Elio's in Montreal. The pizza and foccacia served by this napolitan family is truly devine.

• 2 Amy's definately in DC...why is Pepe's not listed? Pepe's is (oldest family owned pizzeria in the US) located on Wooster St. in New Haven, CT.

• Agreed...DeLorenzo's Hudson Street Trenton is the Best on the East Coast and Pizzeria Rustica is the Best in the West here in Colorado Springs!

• Il Pizzaiolo in Pittsburgh, PA is deserving of this list, but so is Piccolo Forno. Roberto Caporuscio of Keste (NY) formerly occupied this space in Pittsburgh. www.piccolo-forno.com

• There are 3 authentic Neopolitan pizza restaurants in Toronto Ontario Canada, all very good, but our favourite is Libretto on Ossington.

• Massachusetts: Pizzeria Grangusto, on Sherman Street in Cambridge. Giuseppe dishes out some of the best pizza I've had in my life... ;)

• I am surprised you have not included my favorite Napolitana PIZZA FRITTA, (which was also featured in a Sofia Loren film). Maybe because you are northern Italian and have not heard of it??

• While the story was on NEOPOLITAN pizza using a specific technique I see people are adding their favorite overall pizzas. As such one of my favorite things to do is walk over the Brooklyn Bridge and eat at the famous Grimaldi'shttp://www.grimaldis.com/2/I

• If the line at Pepe's and Sally's is too long, head to nearby Derby for Roseland Pizza.
  Posted: June 18, 2009 14:06 by jsmart
• So sorry, but you left out New Haven, CT. Sally's Pizza by far the best paper thin pie you can imagine. Although Pepe's in touted as #1, I prefer Sally's.

• You must check out "Dough" in San Antonio, TX. They are VPN certified and the pizza is amazing!

• ... Italy. The mother restaurant is in Napoli, and locations have popped up throughout Italy and Europe. The only one in the US, thusfar, is here in Miami Beach. Check it out: http://www.fratellilabufala.com/

• Having lived in Napoli for a couple years, and still a frequent visitor, I feel I have a good sense of what a perfect pie is and should be. In my humble but passionate opinion, Fratelli La Bufala in Miami Beach hands down serves the best pizza outside of

• I agree with response #3. My family has been eating pizza at the Frank Pepe Pizzeria in New Haven, CT for over 70 years. It may not be quite what it used to be, since all the "originals" are gone, but it still beats anything in New England.

• I attempted the pizza dough recipe in the magazine article and it did not rise at all- is there a mistake in it?

• As of 2008, Colorado has two excellent authentic Neopolitan pizzerias - Pizzeria Rustica in Colorado Springs and Marco's (not the chain) in LoDo Denver. Both use Caputo Tipo 00 flour, San Marzano tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella. Marco's is VPN certified.

• ROBERT FILIPPI SAID: YOU ALSO MISSED THE HEAVENLY HANA INN PIZZERIA IN HANA, MAUI, HAWAII. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT OUR PIZZA IS THE BEST ON THE ISLANDS AND WE MAKE IT ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE THE NAPLES PIZZA IN YOUR ARTICLE. WE USE 00" FLOUR AND SAN MARZANO

• You also excluded "The Prospector" VPN cerified pizzeria of which Peppe Miele said "the VPN pizzeria most like Italy in America"
  Posted: February 27, 2009 18:59 by BobbyMartino
• It is commendable you listed quite a few of the certified pizzerias in the United States. Interesting that in California you left out Antica Pizzeria in Marina del Rey operated by Peppe Miele president for Verace Pizza Napoletana Americas...

• After a long history in Trenton, beginning in 1947, the restaurant moved to a new location at 3250 US Highway 33 in Robbinsville, NJ 08691. The move is so recent that the location is not listed in most food menus of a GPS.

• I agree, you missed the #2 rated, Delorenzo Pizza. However, # 2 is on Hamilton Avenue in Trenton. Number 1 1/2 rated was on Hudson St but like the Trenton Post Office, it has moved to Robbinsville, NJ.
