Queens is one of New York’s best boroughs for food. But pizza is not its strong suit. If I were to rank the five boroughs in terms of pizza quality and variety, Queens would likely be last. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some gems to be found. Three years ago, a wood-fired spot opened in Astoria (again, better known for its Greek fare) called Milkflower (34-12 31st Ave).

From time to time I’m asked by people who live on Long Island — or who might be spending a summer weekend in the Hamptons or Fire Island — where to find the best pizza out there. While I’ve reviewed pizza halfway around the world in China, Israel, Vietnam, and Japan, I Dream Of Pizza has lacked a proper review of any pizza spots on Long Island. Today, that changes.

Let’s take the perpetually packed Motorino, for example. My ...

And for the past few years, he’s been raving about a new pizza place in his town. So on a recent trip to North Carolina, it was time to see what the hype was all about. Located 30 minutes north of Charlotte, Aliño Pizzeria (500 South ...
