EUREKA! Pizza in San Diego at least as good as BAR!
« on: November 05, 2007, 02:26:23 am »
Yeah you read that right!.
 I Googled "New Haven style pizza in San Diego" today and wouldn\'t ya know it a place just opened up this spring that features "new haven style" pizza.
 It\'s called BASIC and I swear it\'s modeled after BAR. It\'s a sparse design in a corner warehouse downtown with a restaurant on one side and a bar w/ Pool tables etc. on the other.

 The only food on the menu is Pizza. I mean real pizza! I had a small red w/ Mozz and OMG! I really could not believe it. They got it down. Just the right amt of sauce the crust was a bit black underneath and so tasty! So I got another pie 1/2 red w/ mozz and 1/2 red w/ mozz and pepperoni to take home. I have been telling my friends abt the pizza I had in New Haven and 2 of them were over so I told them they had to try this. Both said it was the best pizza they had tasted in a long time. Yeah it\'s not Pepe\'s or Sally\'s but I\'m telling you guys the next time The Breakfast is in San Diego I can get them some pie they can actually eat!

It\'s less than a block from the Ballpark so that should come in handy next season!

I heard that the water around New Haven has much to do with the pizza being how it is. Ever go to Florida, and the water smells like eggs?

I once heard Steve G. state that it is scientifically proven you cannot make decent pizza dough outside of the tri-state area due to our local water.  Something about the chemical make up of water in this area creates the ideal dough mixture.

As is usually the case, I listen to Steve and think to myself, this kid is a crazy glue sniffer.  Make model airplanes!!

But I cannot deny the fact that he has spent more time jammin\' his fists into pizza dought then he has on his personal hygiene... which makes me regret getting that last pie from Micheal Anthony\'s.  But I\'m getting off topic.

I\'m by no means as passionate about N.Haven style pizza as some on this board.  Don\'t get me wrong.  It\'s great stuff.  But it\'s opinion.  It\'s like judging art or music.  But that doesn\'t stop us from doing it.

All I\'m saying, is that I highly doubt this San Diego pizza joint is worth it\'s wait in crushed red pepper, but I\'m happy you\'ve found something to feed your Za fix while at home.

:wacko:

ah, it\'s the west coast. Even if it was horrible by new england standards, it\'s probably the one of the best he could get out there. good for you Leith. At leastt it\'s not frozen or dominoes or some such.

When we know one of the men who makes the pie has been know to lick beer off of a club floor, some question his hygiene and yet we still go back for more, that says to me addiction more than anything else ever could.

Yeah it\'s the water. Local myth and nothing more. REALLY.

I could care less if any of you believe me. When you actually do taste it you can pay the bill OK?

I have actually tried CT. pizza, I may not have eaten it for the past 20 years as some of you but I know what it is supposed to taste like now and this is it.

I am happy now as far as za goes and that\'s all I really wanted to say!

Pizza dough should be made with filtered water. Chlorine makes the yeast less active.

I drove to Basic Pizza @10th Avenue & J Street in San Diego & it\'s the best pizza I have ever had. I think New-Haven style is my favorite. The best at Basic is the red pie w/ mozz & mashed potatoes. Everytime I go to San Diego, I am stopping off at Basic. You gots to trust Leith on this one. He really does know his pizza. I went there thinking \'whatever\' & really was blown away. It must be loaded with endorphins or something. Jimmy\'s Pizza in Dartmouth, MA is still really good, though. My favorite there is the onion pizza as Alexander Z can attest to.  :wink:

I am craving Basic Pizza right now.  :drool:Tempted to drive to San Diego to pick up a big ole pie.  Leith should start some sort of a mail order business where he picks up your pizza, puts it in a cooler & then ships it to you.  :biggrin:

side note...next time you are in albany for a red square/rev hall show, check out this local place called Sovrana.  It is in a weird location and is relatively unknown, but they have unbelivable pizza.  Top 3 places ive ever been to.  Next time TB comes to albany, ill let you guys know how to find it.

warning: thick crust

BAR... thats the place near Toads right? Or am I thinking of another place...

either way I ate some supposedly worlds best New Haven pizza once and while it was tasty and hit the spot, it did not compare to Pinnochio\'s in Northampton or Antonio\'s in Amherst.

but then again I\'m not a fan of that flimsy NY style flops in your hand pizza
