| - Fiori's. My all time favorite pizza place. Oh, you have stolen my heart, since I was a child.
I recall memories with my family at my nana's house in Brookline, collecting pizza orders for dinner from my aunts, uncles, and cousins.
I always got to go pick it up with my aunt or my dad, sitting shotgun with the hot pizza on my lap. I remember, vividly, hearing "Don't tilt it! Keep it flat!" so the mounds of cheese wouldn't slide to one end.
This is my favorite pizza for several reasons:
1. The sauce is sweet and there's a LOT of it.
2. The sausage is meaty, fatty and has the perfect amount of fennel seed.
3. The crust is crunchy, and chewy, and the rest of the pizza is just flexible enough that you handle it (long enough for it to make it to your mouth without all the cheese sliding off!)
Though a little pricey for a whole pie, Fiori's is always worth it. I'm lucky enough that when I come home to visit there's usually always a Fiori's pizza on the stove.
Now the new trend (new for me) is to get a cup of cold cheese on the side, and top your slice with it while it's steaming hot. I think there's plenty of cheese on it already, so I usually don't get the cold cheese.
Hands down, this is the best pizza that I've ever had, and the best pizza in Pittsburgh by far.
