Who has the best Pizza?
Ok all you pizza addicts (like me), where can the best pizza along the trail be found?

Smoky Mountain Brewery in Gatlinburg. Pricey, but worth it.
If people spent less time being offended and more time actually living, we'd all be a whole lot happier!

C'mon man... its got to be along the trail somewhere in NY!!

Where can you take me to make me understand

Heh, ok, maybe I should stipulate... Within a decent hike from the trail, not a train ride!

Pizza Plus in Damascus, Hampton, and Erwin has some of the best cheap pizza. Damascus has the bigger of the buffets.
Need to try Quincy's in Damascus.

Just have three little words..."Go Hike It"
Hitch into West Lebanon, NH from Hanover, NH / Norwich, VT or take the free shuttle bus (Advance Transit) Go to Lui-Lui's at the Powerhouse Mall. Wood fire oven pizza. I'm originally from Jersey, so youse can trust me on pizza. Pricey but damn good. Better than EBA and others in Hanover, which are good, but just not as good. There's an EMS and LL Bean right there too. West Leb is strip mall city. WM, KM, etc, pretty much anything you'd need.
Best pizza--hands down--is the pizza joint on Main Street in Palmerton, Penn. Can't quite remember the name, it's something simple like _____'s Pizza. But if you like NY/NJ style pizza this is the place. Plus their menu is HUGE the pizza is delicious. And if you're veggie there are alot of options.
This place to me has real deal pizza. But then again I'm from Jersey so I have certain expectations about pizza.
Pizza Plus has cheap pizza. Very cheap. And that's what you get.
So far for me it was at NOC at the Rivers End Restaurant.
Definitely not the best...but I grew up on the stuff.

The best pizza can only be found around or in NYC and Chicago......with a nice exception in Pittsburgh

Well being from FLA anywhere north you will find good pie. From PA to MA.
The problem "from what I'm told" is the water. Any shops can buy the same ingredients but they can't duplicate the water used for the dough, which makes the good crusts.
Meh, I'm not buying that. I can make home made pizza that'll rival anything anywhere!

There's a place about a mile upstream of NOC called Pizza by the River that's definitely a cut above River's End - worth the walk.

Christos in Manchester Center, VT.
Which also has the best breakfast @ Up for Breakfast.
(I guess I should move to this place...)
Pizza By the River is pretty cool. Just pull your raft up on the dock there and order one! Was cool to see the ads for the place in the trees along the river. Neat concept.

In NY, I think at NY52, it's a .25 mile walk to a deli and pizza joint. The pizza at that pizza joint? Shockingly good. Like, way better than it has any right to be. I've lived in NYC for almost 2 decades on and off, spent plenty of time in Chicago, and this pizza would battle it out with the best of them. Seriously, I've not had it's match in any other trailside pizza place. So so so worth going to.
Don't take anything I say seriously... I certainly don't.
my favorite was in Monson at the Lake Shore House. It was a daily special for like $4-$5 for a personal pizza. I was very pleasantly surprised.
Best I can recall in the Trail corridor was in Hanover but I don't remember the name of the place.

Undulations - A Journey on the Appalachian Trail - find it here.
The best pizza is a good pie nearest to where you are. In Shenandoah, that would be Rudy's in Sperryville VA. But they're only open Thurs.-Sun.
And at the expense of launching another thread, you will pass Central Coffee Roasters in Rt 211 on your way down the mountain to Sperryville. A great cuppa joe and free to trail maintainers, but again, only open Fri-Sun.
