Poll # 3: Best Pizza located in or around Davis Square

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

I'm going to go ahead and post this now. I'm going to be away from the computer from 10am till probably 1 or 2pm, so if I missed something we talked about, sorry.

Honorable mention has to go to the beloved Pinky's. But alas, they are more than 1 mile from the square.

Thanks to a suggestion from lonelyholiday, if for some reason you didn't vote by want to see the results, you can click here.

When we get pizza it's usually from Pinky's.

[mrpet.livejournal.com]

Pinky's does deliver :)

Also the list doesn't include City Slickers which is just outside of Porter going towards Union.

[rufinia.livejournal.com]

I am abstaining from this poll because of the non-inclusion of Pinkys.

And also because I have had none of the pizza listed on the list.

diMio (di, yes?) is less than a mile from Davis?? Is there one closer than the one between porter and harvard?

[emcicle.livejournal.com]

yeah, i disagree with some of the mileage listed... from my house (just outside davis) to porter is 1.0 miles, and dimio is on the far side of porter, making it over a mile... but someone used google maps which showed it as .8 miles? I would think anything on the far side of Porter shouldn't really be counted. (but i'm just bitter because what i think is the best pizza was counted out due to mileage (Pini's)). :)

[icecreamempress.livejournal.com]

Yep, it's "diMio".

[mcflynnthm.livejournal.com]

Admittedly I tend to find one place and stick with it, but goddamn do I love Christo's. The pesto pizza alone makes it win for me.

I'm writing in for Caffe Rossini. Late night, as far as I know, only Pizza Days is open, so they get some props for exploiting an untapped market.

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Its one of the choices. You can vote for it.

[forgotten-aria.livejournal.com]

It really depends. Davis square pizza makes my favorite pepperoni pizza, but I don't like their other toppings as much. My answer is different if I'm looking for some veggies on my pizza.

[watchamacallit.livejournal.com]

Pini's is by far the best (Winter Hill).

[mrboboto.livejournal.com]

Agreed- apparently it is "too far" from Davis to be included, but it's so worth the extra tenth of a mile.

[grapefruiteater.livejournal.com]

You forgot a "none of the above" or "other" option. For those of us who only eat pizza within a certain radius of the city of New York.

[jspazzer.livejournal.com]

Well, no, the poll is "Best Pizza located in or around Davis Square". Nobody cares whether pizza here isn't good enough for you. No back to New York and shut up.

[maelithil.livejournal.com]

I rarely eat pizza in the US, mainly because it's - in general - god fucking awful, but I've had pizza delivered from City Slicker and I have to say they're decent. Not good pizza, but edible pizza.

Anything in the square? Forget it. To be fair, I'm from Italy where we actually know how to bake pizza and select toppings that do not involve, oh, pineapple, just to name one. Ugh.

[ifotismeni]

as with most things, blame california for that one.

[afty.livejournal.com]

While we're talking about pizza, does anyone know if any of the local pizza joints have weekly specials? When I lived in Malden, our local pizzeria had a buy-one-get-one-free special on Tuesdays, and that led to a lot of pizza on Tuesdays for us.

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Mike's does.

I can't remember off hand the specifics, but it is something like "buy a large and get a large for $2". I think its Tuesdays, but I'm getting old and my memory fades.

[mycroft.livejournal.com]

You forgot Amelia's in Teele.

[jspazzer.livejournal.com]

No, you forgot it. You had all day yesterday to nominate it. http://community.livejournal.com/davis_square/1252566.html

[jamiesquared.livejournal.com]

angelinas for sure!

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

In the future, it would also be nice to have either a "I have no opinion" option or a random clicky box for those of us who haven't been around long enough to have a favorite, but want to see the results (without having to click 4 links each time)

[lonelyholiday.livejournal.com]

Or maybe, once the poll is posted, the OP can just go back and paste in the direct link to the results page somewhere in the post?

[shirt-seeker.livejournal.com]

I only know Mike's, so I cannot really poll on that :o)

[ifotismeni]

same here, haha. i'm not very pizza-picky. i think mike's is just fine, but like you that's the only place i've ever grabbed a slice.

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's a lot of mediocre pizza right there...not saying there aren't some good choices but it really just emphasizes how difficult it is to get a good pie in Davis.

[srakkt.livejournal.com]

that's sort of the thing. Trying to find a specimen worthy of a superlative in a sample squarely within two-sigma is really kind of futile.

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

You know, reading the comments above, a major religious figure would like to offer his two cents as to the quality of debate on this topic:

[bombardiette.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you. I'm doing that right now after reading through these comments. And to think...I just didn't vote. Next time, I'll be sure to give my opinion on the crappiness of everything in America and Boston because, you know, that's totally what this poll was asking about. Right? RIGHT??

[lonelyholiday.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey, you took my suggestion. I did a double take when I scanned my friends page again and saw my name there... Thought I was being called out on some kind of idiocy.

And now I think I've officially commented more in this one post than in all of the community before today. ha.

[duffless2323.livejournal.com]

Antonio's in Amherst needs to open up a Davis branch it would be a goldmine.

I HAVE SPOKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R.I.P. Urban Gourmet :(

[pekmez.livejournal.com]

I've become a huge fan of Mike's Sicilian pizzas lately, but we also most often order from Pinky's, occasionally from City Slicker Cafe (the urban gourmet sequel on Somerville Ave.)
