bad pizzaI'm always surprised at how many bad pizza places there are in a region of the country that prides itself on its pizza. I wonder what makes one place good, and another horribly bad. I mean, it's the same basic ingredients, right? Flour, water, yeast, tomato sauce, cheese.

Well, yeah, but just cause the ingredients are similar doesnt mean they all put the right combination or amounts in..plus, sometimes places have different kinds of crusts or something. Plus, I think a lot of people never really tasted great pizza and assume the pizza they are eating is good..remember that place we found in NY city? THAT was awesome pizza...no idea where it was or what it was called though. :)

See, maybe by you. But here, you'd figure that anyone making pizza in the NY/NJ area has -- just by the laws of probability -- had good or even great pizza at one point in their lives.
Not that I am the Authority on Pizza, but I see a couple of problems with the logic here.
1- Not all pizza in the NY/NJ area has the have the same ingredients. Some use synthetic cheese which doesn't taste as good in my opinion, however I know people who love it. Outside of the area, the beleif is that the difference is in the water, which makes sense, since many people do not beleive bagels outside of NY/NJ are that good.
2- We have to realize that defining what makes a good pizza very subjective. I think most NY/NJ pizza is better than the pizza elsewhere, however I happen to like a softer crust for example, while others might like their crust very crispy. These things play a big part in determining whether you are going to like the pizza in general.
My feeling is that the pizza is not very good when people do not take the time and cary to make it right. I have actually seen places microwave old pizza and serve it, which to me defeats the purpose of going to a pizza place to begin with.
