I stayed up until 1:30am last night trying to fix the blog. This meant a later than usual wake up and breakfast. None-the-less I was still hungry for lunch around 12:30pm. My stomach was grumbling and asking for one thing: PIZZA
I’ve come to terms with the fact that pizza is my favorite dinner (or lunch as the case may be). I love it. Well, what’s not to love? There’s cheese and bread and happiness all baked on a pie for your consumption.
When the pizza gods call I answer, so I dug a Lean Cuisine pizza out of my freezer (they were recently on sale $2 each) and nuked it.
It was just okay, but don’t they say pizza is like sex? Even bad pizza is still pretty good 
This got me thinking about the best pizza I’ve ever had…
Since I love pizza I’ll take it wherever I can get it and I’ve had everything from $5.00 take-out to frozen to Chicago Deep Dish to 6am calls for room service in Vegas…
I think “Hunger makes the best sauce” and post-run pizza can be Heavenly. I had this baby at BJ’s Brewery after my last marathon.
But the best pizza I’ve ever had title goes to the Chicago Deep Dish from Gino’s I had this Summer while attending the Healthy Living Summit. 
I threated to never eat pizza again if it wasn’t Chicago deep dish because I didn’t want to ruin (or roon) the memory. It was real deep dish! I don’t think I’ve ever had pizza this tall before. 
I’m sure the 16 miles I ran that morning helped it taste extra dee-lish, but still. It was AMAZING.
Question: What’s the best pizza you’ve ever had?

Don’t know how I missed this post….maybe I was too busy looking back through all of your other ones, tee hee!! I love pizza as well! There was an amazing pizza shop in Korea: “Pizza Town”. It was a family ritual to go there as much as possible. It was my son’s first experience with pizza, and it was where I had my 2nd date with my hubby the first time we were in Korea!! I would give anything for the gooey simplicity of it!!! I wish I could get an amazing pizza over here…it is really what I love to splurge on!!! I cannot wait to hear about your marathon!! The expo line was crazy, sorry it was a bust! Hopefully you get good moods all around 😉 Good luck and I think it is amazing you are doing so much!! Keep your promise, no races for a while and take a rest 🙂 PS. Is that blonde hair I see in your picture of the after race pizza meal???? Very cute!!
Looking forward to fitbloggin! I could definitely use some tips to get my blog up and running.
YES! I love hearing that Gino’s East was your favorite pizza! Us Chicagoans often fight over what deserves the best Chicago pizza title. Everyone usually goes for the Giordano’s or Lou Malnati’s but NOTHING beats Gino’s.
I live in San Diego now… so I eat vegan thin crust whole wheat crust pizza 🙂
Deep dish is definitely the best. Thin crust pizza is NOT pizza! It’s a cracker with toppings!
We drove up to my friend’s house in Chicago one Friday night and were STARVING by the time we got there. The deep dish from the local pizza place was AMAZING that night!! (it’s pretty awesome even when not hungry). Now I want to order Giordano’s pizza online . . .
i have to agree ginos east has the best pizza i ever had as well- that veggie deep dish cant be beat!! i had it after running the rock n roll half in chicago this summer- amazing.
Pick me! Pick me! I haven’t had a chance to try the oh-so-amazing peanut flour yet!
Oops, meant this for the next post. Off to re-comment. 😉
I’ve heard so much about Gino’s East from my sister and dad. If I ever go to Chicago, I’m taking a cab straight there!
BeauJo’s Pizza in Denver, Co. They have EVERY topping you could want and you can build your own. The crust is honey wheat and they serve the pizza with honey to dip the crust in at the end…it’s SO good!
“Joe’s Pizza” at Santa Monica and they have one in Rodeo Drive West Hollywood too – Delicious and thin as I prefer thin. I think I had it about 10 times while I was over there. Now I am drooling!!!
We are blessed to have a few GREAT local pizza places by us and pizza being one of my favorite dishes eva, I honestly have a hard time choosing a favorite. I mean that is like choosing a favorite child or pet. I think I have a hard time choosing because pizza can vary so wildly. However, we lived in Chicago for 5 years and tried just about every brand of deep dish there and I have even reviewed 2 out of the 4 major ones including Gino’s on my blog. I have to say of deep dish my fav is Giordano’s, but let’s be real they are all good!
I’m not sure what the best pizza I’ve had is, but you are totally right that even when it’s bad, it’s still good. Now I want some pizza.
The best pizza I’ve ever had? That’s the hardest question–I pretty much love any and every pizza! But I love a veggie deep dish with pineapple + peppers! 🙂 OH, any pizza with goat cheese!
Ginos East rocks my world! Oh, I need to get my booty back to Chicago (when it’s warmer). I LOVE pizza too. I think if I had only one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be pizza.
I’ve been to Gino’s in Chicago, and it was amazing. It was definitely worth the 45 minute (!!!) wait after we placed our order.
Haha, pizza is like sex! Some is good, some is pretty good, and sometimes you get lucky with a mind blowing experience! 😉
I’m in the Chicago ‘burbs, and I have to go with Giordano’s. Deep dish, cheese and sausage. Great, now I want some!
I’m from chi-town and will only eat deep dish! I spent 7 months in Florida and didn’t eat pizza at all. It was rough but their pizza is gross!
My favorite is Giordano’s, with a close second to Lou Malnati’s. Believe it or not I’ve never been to Gino’s! They don’t have it in my suburb but I really should search for it.. I’ve heard it’s the best.
The best pizza I ever had was at this little place in NYC on my birthday weekend. SO FREAKING GOOD.
Best topic ever! It’s too hard to choose! Maybe that means I haven’t yet had the best.
The best pizza I ever ate was in Chicago. I really want it right now. BJ’s crust is pretty delicious too, however.
I agree with Angelica…. LOU MALNATIS all the way baby, WITH their chopped salad on the side. This Chi-town girl won’t eat any other kind.
The best pizza I have ever had is from Lou Malnatis right here in Chicago!! (Chitown has the best pizza EVER ;)) The next time you visit you should try Lous! There deep dish is to die for…. YUM. I think I may know what’s for dinner tonight 😉
The bf and I don’t see eye to eye on the “Best Pizza in Portland.” He thinks Apizza Schools is the best ever. It IS amazing pizza…thin crust, big New York-style, delicious….My favorite is Mississippi Pizza. Thicker crust, great flavor. My favorite of theirs is the artichoke, feta and tomatoes. YUM
Pizza is such a satisfying, filling, good-for-the-soul food!
It is good for the soul! Love that.
Mmnnnn…pizza. I’m a newish reader and don’t comment much, but I LOVE pizza! I live in Boston but am a NY transplant so I’m always craving a good slice!!
The best pizza I ever had was in Rome, in a small hole in the wall restaurant on a vacation after 9th grade with my parents. It was thin and light with an herby sauce and not too much cheese.We ate there 3 out of the 4 nights we were in Rome and wished we ate there the 4th. fuckin’ gluten.
I loved hole in the wall pizza in Rome too. Near the Spanish steps with zucchini, ham, and two types of cheese…Perfection!
It taught me to love the non-traditional [american] pizza.
