The 13 Best Pizzas Ever Seen On Diners, Drive-Ins And Dives

Technically, pizza isn't really a diner food. And you don't typically get it at drive-ins. But you can definitely pick up a pie at plenty of dives, so it's no surprise that creative takes on the dish are a staple of the Guy Fieri-hosted Food Network hit "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives."
Fieri has sampled dozens, if not hundreds, of pizzas on "Triple D" over the years, but only a select few have really managed to stand out and prove unforgettable. From really well made classic pizzas to fresh new concoctions, these are the 14 best pizzas ever seen on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives."

[@nickpalance3622]

@@jayamburn1959 hi there Jay! OC, MD is definitely nice. I find it interesting how it is so long and narrow as compared to OC, NJ and our other barrier islands. I feel like I could spit from the boardwalk and hit the mainland. I was surprised to see Kohr Brothers soft serve 🍦 as I thought they were strictly an NJ thing. I loved riding that haunted ride at Trimper’s that Bill Tracey designed/built, as he had several rides in Atlantic City and Wildwood, NJ that I remember fondly from my youth but are now sadly gone.

[@nickpalance3622]

@@1313wikked I love the pizza at these places BUT not if I want traditional since the brick oven stuff is different. Good, no great, but different texture and chew. I guess I’ve had too much pizza to concern myself with such nuance and my belt size proves it. But there used to be a lot of mom & pop places around that all had the same basic pizza that I can’t get from a national chain. And certainly not down south. We know many friends and family members that have moved and say the bread and dough is not the same as up here. My take on NY pizza, I must say, is based on places like Benny Tu Dino’s in Hoboken which I was told was standard NY style pizza. Plenty of places like that back in the 90s (when I was in college). I never HAD to fold pizza before. The smaller and slightly thicker slices here at the southern shore and Philly area don’t need folding and I of course didn’t understand why (on occasion) I’d see people do that. THEN I came across the big thin slices that couldn’t hold there weight. Nice! I “got” it. Not many around here these days. A few on the boardwalk (more so in the past decade… kind of a new thing for the boardwalk). I also like, but put in a different category, the local “you must claim to like this or be shunned” pizza from Mack’s in Wildwood and Manco & Manco (formerly Mack & Manco if that gives a hint to the similarities) in OC. The sauce, from a hose (!), goes on top of the cheese in a spiral.

[@UltraViolent21]

Here in Philadelphia, I reccomend a local spot known as 'Pete's Pizza' at 1913 N. 54th street. Their pizza and everything else is delicious; including their Buffalo chicken cheesesteak.😋my favorite pizza? Depending on my mood; meat lovers, hawaiian or a supreme with anchovies.❤❤❤

[@waltg5165]

Back when the DDD show was very popular, I was able to try a bunch of the places, especially in NJ. I can't speak to all of them, but the ones I tried, most were not that good. One was a small place in Linden NJ I think, literally around the block from where I lived, no lines out the door, it was not packed with customers, and they must have brought someone else to cook that day, when I went it was barely edible. Most of the others the same, but one place in Boston or outside of Boston, was actually very good. Think it was a lobster ravioli, and despite the crowd, service was great and food was outstanding. Can't always trust TV, most of them know in advance, bring in the best people, advertise the event, and fill the place up.
