Great post! My favorite part of travel is eating at the unique restaurants and it’s always good to have an insider’s perspective on what’s not to be missed.

Sorry I didn’t get back to you in time. For any vegans coming into the Phoenix, AZ area, don’t miss out on Green Vegetarian It’s amazing vegan food – not healthy, mind you, but 100% vegan, and tasty. Even some non-vegetarians have found themselves liking the food. Especially the Oreo blizzard remake that they have.

Haven’t tasted it yet. Looking forward to it though. New York, lucky for me, has lots of great pizza.

I would kill for a slice of Ovengrinder’s pizza right now. That looks sooo good. Haven’t had it in years!

Oh my goodness, I’ve never seen a pizza like that before! I will have to get to Chicago. And tomyum is my favorite soup. My mom makes it all the time…

Bon appetite!

@Arleen

Even more generous of the contributors for taking the time.

@Elodie

I’ll be sure to try those spot next time I travel to the Riviera. Always fun to find a spot that provides entertainment as well.

Yumm, great post, now I am hungry!!
If you ever have the chance to go to the french riviera, you MUST go to Poupon et Marinette and La casa di Giesu, in Nice; and to Le safranier in Antibes.
Here in the valley, I love the Organ Stop in Phoenix, not really for the food, they just serve regular pizza, but for the entertainment, a lot of fun in that place for the whole family!

@fly girl

I think Chicago pizza was definitely a hit. Great recommendations. Agree with the moderation. That’s one healthy-sized pie.

Thanks for including my review in this post, Gennaro. I’m happy that so many people are entranced by Chicago style pizza! The only thing is that it’s as heavy as it looks and the feeling stays with you for days! I suggest sampling Chicago deep dish pizza in moderation or you’ll arrive home with extra pounds!

Woe! I’m going to Chicago just to SEE that pizza! I know that deep dish pizzas are the thing in Chicago, but just didn’t know how DEEP they really were! It’s almost like a giant lasagna with a crust!

@Missy

Sounds like a great spot. Will check it out next time I’m in Miami.

Giordano’s is a favorite. Both the food and the atmosphere. I’m originally from Miami. The best Cuban spot is Las Culebrinas. Great selection.
