Being born and raised outside of Philly, I literally cried when I ordered my first pizza in Charlotte back in '92 -- it was that bad. I have yet to find pizza that rivals that of my home state, but Portofino's comes close. I love the thin crust and order it extra crispy so it's not soggy at all. I usually make my own pasta and do not order it out, but when I'm feeling lazy I do like Portofino's combination seafood (zuppe di pesce) in marinara over the pasta of my choice. It is chock full of clams, mussels, scungilli, shrimp, etc.
