I Dream Of Pizza A Pizza Blog, Established In 2008

Pizza in Washington, DC is akin to the city’s sport teams — full of potential, but ultimately disappointing. I grew up in suburban Maryland and still root fervently for the Skins, Nats, Caps and Wiz. While each team has won a regular season division title in recent years, they’ve all failed to advance to the later rounds of the playoffs (in fact, no team has made it out of the second round off the playoffs since 1998). That’s a long drought. But ...

Gino Sorbillo is by many accounts the most famous pizzaiolo in Italy. His namesake restaurant in Naples is packed on a nightly basis (he also runs an outpost in Milan). I visited back in 2011 and gave it a rating of 8.4/10 — making it the 5th best pizza I tried in Naples, following Pizzeria Starita (9.6), Pizzeria Pellone (9.1), Salvo (8.8), and Pizzeria Brandi (8.7).

So as the sun began to set over the Californian desert, there was nothing I was craving more than a slice of pizza. Lucky ...

Nearly five years ago, Pizzeria Beddia opened in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood. And in 2015, Bon Appetit named it the best pizza in America. Ever since then, it’s been a national phenomenon with pizza fanatics traveling from near and far for a pie. But Pizzeria Beddia (115 E Girard Ave) is not your typical pizza place. In a decision that is likely, in part, a marketing ploy and, in part, a measure of quality control, Pizzeria Beddia serves just 40 pies per ...

IDreamOfPizza celebrated its 9th birthday last month. And one feature that I’ve tried to maintain over the years is an annual look back at some of the best pizza I eat each year. Pizza adventures featured on the blog in 2017 ranged from upscale pies in Hong Kong to shack and night market pizza in Taiwan. I reviewed pizza in a small town in North Carolina and tried the $45 Doughdici pie in Manhattan. From Queens and Long Island to Hawaii and ...
