This website has been pretty PG and I’m not about to take that to the next level, without Darrin’s permission. But the quote I’d love to use here about bad pizza by Mel Brooks would be so appropriate. Google it.

Anyway, it basically says there’s no such thing as bad pizza and I tend to agree. I basically have the diet of a 12 year old, but I don’t care. I love pizza and I’m going on a quest to find Northern Kentucky’s (within a 10 mile radius of Fort Thomas) best pizza.

I know it’s been done before (most recently in the November edition of Cincinnati Magazine), but I thought it would be interesting to try and find the best pizza that isn’t one of the big boys (Papa John’s, Pizza Hut, Dominoes, Donatos, etc.)

And as much as I love it, LaRosa’s (or as my friend Courtney from Lexington calls it – Kings Island Pizza) is out as well.

We’ll come up with a standard criteria and grade each one to crown a pizza king by the end of the year. So far we’re thinking Ft. Thomas Pizza, 915, The Midway, Buona Vita, Newport Pizza Co, Bourbon Pizza House, Fatty Patty’s and Raniero’s.

We’d love to hear your suggestions and if you’d like to join us, by all means, let’s make it a party.
