Over the last 2 months I've been trying local pizza shops that have great ratings on Yelp and other local review sites. Local shops run by small business people. And I didn't love any of them.

Rosati's Chicago style was salty and the sauce was not good. Their non-Chicago style was also bland.

The Pizza Standard's tomato based slices don't hold sauce well - and their non-tomato based ones are better - except the crust always has a faintly burnt taste.

A Brooklyn Pizzera also has sauce problems.

Roger's Pizzerolo crust was "fine" but the cheese was not up to far.

Filippi's crust isn't my style - but it's always the pizza that people say they love the most in San Diego.

Pizza Hutt deep dish turns out to be my favorite.

I'm basic.
