There's a place here in Bella Vista, Gusanos, that does an excellent pizza that has a few other locations in AR too.  However it is pricey, $25 for a 16" pizza with a couple of toppings.  I don't like their deep dish however - they put the sauce on top the cheese on their deep dish and I don't like it.

One other thing the Sorrento Room was really good at was Veal Parmigiana.

I really like New York pizza style, not a fan of the Chicago thick crust. Another pet peeve of mine is Provel on a pizza, either mozzarella or fresh mozzarella for me. Also love great aromatic herbs 🌿. Great sausage is also a must. Dang, my mouth is watering just describing these. The only downside with pizza For me is I never feel good after I eat pizza, don’t know why, maybe the grease.

When I was in high school I worked at a place called the Sorrento Room in Milford Mass.  It is still in business, different ownership, and I haven't been back there in close to 45 years, but at the time we made the best pizza I've ever had.  

We made our own dough, sauce from a tomato sauce base, and grated our own cheese from blocks of cheddar and mozzarella.   Friday nights were crazy, we had three ovens going, three guys working like madmen, one guy rolling out the dough, placing on the pan, another guy saucing and cheesing and a third guy working the ovens, if you got caught up on the dough, you'd help out with the ovens and so on.  It would be crazy from about 5 PM on a Friday until 9 PM, then we'd have another rush around 11 PM.  

My favorite was Italian sausage with fresh green peppers.  We'd use sausage out of the skin, put chunks on the pizza.  You have to Sautee fresh peppers before putting them on a pizza as they won't full cook in the time they are in the oven, but it is so much better than canned peppers.

For sure, but I am OK with differing opinions.

Italian sausage with Caraway seeds, IMO is the best.  And for sure must have real mozzarella, the stringier the better.
