For me...

1. Supino's
2. Cellar 849
3. Pizzeria Biga
4. Original Buddy's on Conant
5. Cloverleaf
6. Tomatoes Apizza

I like your list JP. Two comments--
I'd sub-in Tivoli's Wood Brick Oven Pizzeria (45257 Van Dyke Avenue, Utica) for Cloverleaf, admittedly because I just haven't yet tried Cloverleaf. And, I'd say good luck getting off this thread alive, by listing Buddy's instead of Loui's. ;-)

[boagman]

Oh, come now VTB. I'm as staunch a supporter of Loui's as one might find, and even I think Buddy's is, on a decent day, a good product. It's certainly my go-to place...when Loui's happens to be closed. ;)

I swear, though: there seems to be some uncanny mystique about the original location on Conant, though...what's that all about?

[JanPrimus]

There is one one Buddy's location to me...Conant.

...and I am sorry...but Loui's just didn't do it for me.

I sort of think Buddy's, Cloverleaf, and Loui's all need to be tested against one another.
But then, if you're going to do Loui's do you have to do Shields...?
I like JP's list AND I think Tivoli's is a good idea. I didn't realize it would be this tricky to narrow it down. Fresco Wood Oven has been getting a lot of love lately, is it worth mentioning?

[VTB]

Indeed, Fresco Wood Oven as well as Crust. Tough choices.

Finally - somebody besides me mentions Crust!

Shields? Please; no, nope. nada, not gonna happen. I'll hold my breath until ....

Great Topic!

1. Supinos
2. Biga
3. Cellar 849
4. Loui's
5. Cloverleaf

I am a little surprised that Biga was off everyones radar so far...

We did a Chow meetup there once already for lunch...

[Quit2Chef]

....I would have loved that. Have been meaning to go there and see if they can make a close approximation of Biancos Rosa pie...

[JanPrimus]

Nope...

I had the Rosa just a few months ago and Biga is good...but not that good. The Crust at Bianco was to die for...

I think Cellar 849 comes closest to Bianco's locally.

Supino's is a bit different but my favorite locally....
