I edited this poll to add the rest of the Northeast (it was originally a New England poll), hence the lack of non-New England votes.

born and raised in CT (lived just outside new haven for 24 years), went to uconn (go huskies), moved to providence 2 years ago (go friars except when they're playing uconn) and have no intentions of leaving (unless the girlfriend gets a job farther away when she moves back).  no matter how many people think i'm nuts, i'll always be a yankees fan.

you know, there are pizza places all over up here and i have tried many places. i still have not found a decent pizza up here. i'm sure there's decent pizza in the north end, but any time i'm in little italy, i end up eating something other than pizza.

i have never had good pizza in or around boston.  i have family in hopkinton who have lived there for over 20 years and they have just accepted the fact that the boston area lacks good pizza (of course they grew up in new haven).

come to providence, there's some excellent pizza here (caserta's was mentioned, rocco's is good, tommy's is good, and there's some good greek places, such as minerva's).

come now, what about regina's in the north end?  or ernesto's - also in the north end?  granted, i haven't had the pleasure of the providence comparison... but i'm a fan nonetheless

i grew up near new haven.  need i say more?  providence's pizza doesn't hold a candle to new haven pizza, nor does new york pizza for that matter.

regina's is alright, but it's not like a local establishment (they've become a chain and i haev issues with chain pizza).

Love Caserta's. Never had Tommys. You're not a big fan of Fillini's? That place is right up there with Caserta's in my book. There's also this other place that some people would bring into work when I was in Providence, I think Palmeiro's? It was thick crust, heavy on the sauce, no cheese just some garlic sprinkled on top. I think it's worth getting now and then. I tried looking it up online and came up blank, so I must have the name wrong.

i like fellini's.  i just don't get over there often because it's not near me.  it's also really overpriced.  $18 for a pizza, one size.  i live alone.  i don't generally buy large pizzas for myself.

I grew up and live in Hartford, Connecticut.    At some point, I'd like to move to New York City, or preferably Europe, but I'd be far from a lot of people I care about, so who knows if I'll ever move.     I haven't left Conn. not because of loyalty but because of family and friends.

Was born in Queens, NYC. Moved to Long Island, New York when I was 3. Still here. After I graduate I plan on going to college in Pittsburgh or Upstate. After college, probably will end up in Pittsburgh, Providence, Hartford, or New York.
