I've had New Haven pizza and it's pretty delish.
I'm a huge fan of the pizzas we have in my nabe.
It's like you love where you live or something.
Even in the 80s when I lived in LA it was impossible to find decent pizza. So much suck. The rule of thumb then was that you couldn't get good Italian in SoCal and you couldn't get decent Jewish deli in NorCal. I have to say that if I have to choose between cuisines, Italian is going to win that fight every time.
God, I'm hugry now! I need something very tasty.

Nah....
But the Italians do know how to do a good pizza. It's like they invented it or something.
Mozzarella di Bufala
I loved that place when I lived out there.
There is okay pizza in B'more but it's not really that good. (although I haven't been to the place here that is supposedly the best in the city, Matthew's)
I still miss T. Anthony's on Comm Ave in boston. But that may have more to do with nostalgia than it actually being decent pizza.
Aha! I knew the Phoenix/NY/LA pizza thing sounded familiar. Ed Levine did the same thing in August, with nearly identical results.
You can't fling a dead cat in this city without hitting excellent Italian but Mexican is, strangely, impossible. LA arguably has much more ethnic variety.
I think Grimaldi's is overrated, but there are several other institutions in Brooklyn, like Di Fara's, Franny's and Totonno's.
I've only been to Grimaldi's and it managed to go noticeably downhill between two visits a year apart.

Heh. I lived a few blocks from there. It was definitely a decent late night alchohol mop, but I always preferred Captain Nemo's in Kenmore Square for a Boston Grease Frisbee (as we called them). At least T. Anthony's is still there though.
I have issues finding good, cheap seafood in LA. Other than that I'm pretty happy.
(But oh, Captain Scott's Lobster Dock, how I yearn for thee!)

Aha! I'll get Mexican at the Ferry Building. Problem solved.

Oh, I know. And they're good kids, really. They just don't have the perspective to see why this makes them look like jingoistic know-nothings.
Mexican! Don't talk to me about Mexican. There's a chain of Mexican restaurants in the area, run by Mexican-Americans, the food of which tastes (to me) worse than Taco Bell. Seriously.
Okay, powderpuff game over. Almost homeward time.
