PS: one of the things I like about Carolina bbq vs some others is the more predominant use of vinegar based sauce/basting which I prefer to sweet.

That pizza above looks great. I've also been taken to several Chicago pizza joints that folks there told me was their favorite, so I've had some good ones there, too.

One of my favorite pizza places in Philadelphia is Tacconelli's, which is in the Port Richmond neighborhood where I grew up. It used to be just a little neighborhood pizza joint, but is now pretty famous....still not bigger, just famous. This is an inner city blue collar neighborhood but now adays it's not unusual to see high end luxury cars parked around there waiting for pizza. As far back as 50 years ago we used to go there and order pizza and just hang around, eat, socialize, etc. Now it's so famous that the recommended procedure is to call ahead and reserve whatever number of pizza dough balls you want since if you just show up, there is not likely to be any available...unless you're famous like me last week I went there on the spur of the moment with my boy and they made one for us even though we didn't have any advanced reserved dough. Very cute waitress, too, and double normal tip was worth it. Here's a couple Tacconelli's pics:
