Napoli Pizza Masters Share Secrets of Great Pizza

Image
During the Pizza Expo, I was able to sample some great pizza. I ate a lot of pizza. A lot of pizza. Yes, I was in Pizza Heaven. I spoke about pizza whenever I could.

I noticed that you have some reviews for Upper Crust and Ernesto’s, but Bostone, Marhino’s and Angelina’s are NOT on your list of Best Pizza in Massachusetts (State Motto: "By the sword we seek pizza, but pizza only under liberty".) -Ms. Pizza Upper Crust – Boston, MA Upper Crust Pizza , which is a local and growing chain of about 20 pizza shops, serves up gourmet thin crust pizza in Boston and in surrounding neighborhoods. Diners can expect a consistent pizza from one shop to the next. The pizzas are thin, and the toppings are all fresh. I enjoy this chain because it is NOT AT ALL a greasy bite, and has the right balance of cheese and sauce. Oftentimes I find that pizza joints load the pizza with cheese, which overpowers the crust, sauce, and other toppings. Upper Crust is careful to cover each pizza perfectly and should ABSOLUTELY be checked out i...
