A local pizza parlor is a personal thing.

Some like a big fancy Italian ristorante where the pizza is presented with great fanfare and flourish.  Others like the family Mom and Pop pizza joint on the corner.  You know, the one that has the red-and-white table cloths, the wicker wine bottles hanging overhead, the jars of parmesan cheese and oregano standing at attention in the middle of the table, and maybe even the sounds of the Italian language being spoken in the back.  The pie or slices are delivered on a paper plate and the eating is fantastic.  So, whether fancy or plain, each of us has a favorite pizza place in our lives and we celebrate them whenever we can.

This gallery looks at a selection of great pizza places, fancy and plain, that can be found all throughout the Finger Lake Region of Upstate New York (we will do other regions in the future).  From Waterloo to Watkins Glen, and from Auburn to Skaneateles, the area has no shortage of great "pie places."

As you will see in this gallery, some of these places get very fancy creative in their toppings.  One to keep your eye out for is the pizza with hot dogs and French fries as a topping.  Keep your eye out for that one.  Also, how about the New York Pickle Pizza?  You will read about it here.

And, if we missed your favorite Finger Lakes pizza parlor, please visit our Facebook page and give it a shout out.  We really do want to hear from you!

Some Great Game Day Sports Bar Hangouts in the Hudson Valley

If you want to go out with some buddies and watch the big game on a big screen, and have a couple of sips, you have plenty of choices to pick from. But, lets stay away from the big franchises here (Applebees, Buffalo Wild Wings, etc.) and visit these six townie sports taverns for a heck of an afternoon. All are in the Hudson Valley.
