#32"Grimaldi's Pizzeria > 11ft" That 11ft journey will take you 30 minutes in line, but its worth it.
They have a location in Manhattan that's just as good and usually doesn't have a line.

#34OK, I haven't had time to download the app, but was curious about the description > PIZZA COMPASS IS THE EXCITING NEW LIFE-AFFIRMING IPHONE APP THAT HELPS PIZZA GET TO YOUR MOUTH. CREATED BY A HIGHLY SPECIALIZED TRAINED TEAM OF PIZZA EXPERTS. EXPERTS WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT LIFE, LOVE, AND FRIENDSHIP. The screenshots featured famous pizzerias...so is the data "curated" by the pizza-compass staff? Or does it rely on…
This is really overthinking it, IMO. This app isn't a shot at Yelp or an attempt to disrupt the pizza space... It's a joke. You pay a dollar, you get a pizza compass. I think it's hilarious. The quotes on their page about "life-affirming" and "some people might say this is the most important app... ever" tell me that whoever made this app just wanted to have a bit of a laugh.
Haha, it's so funny! Oh, and look at all this money in iTunes Connect...
Yes, totally just a joke!

Who said you can't make money from a joke?

A chef (friend) told me: It's good pizza, but not worth standing in line for. When I lived there, I had it and I thought it was OK.
Re: Pizza Compass
#38Can someone please explain me what the app actually does??
Is it not obvious? 1. Search for nearest pizza place (probably using Foursquare) 2. Pizza-looking-compass-needle points to said pizza place 3. Distance updates as you're pulled towards pizza Simples.
No, its not obvious.
I personally thought it was that, hoped it was that, but nothing on that site told me what you just did. I had to half work it out, half guess.

Luckily the type of pizza will be determined by where you live and not the app. So whether you want a Detroit, Chicago, New York, or Italian-styled pizza, you'll be okay. Writing this made me realize it's time to dig deeper into pizza history.
Be sure to sample St. Louis-style pizza. Being from St. Louis, I'm quite used to it, but my friends from elsewhere claim it's repulsive. The most unique factor is the Provel cheese, which is found almost exclusively in the greater St. Louis area: http://www.andrewmarkveety.com/2010/08/a-brief-history-of-pr...
It has come to my attention that St Louis-style pizza can be had at Tony's Napoletana in North Beach: http://www.tonyspizzanapoletana.com/menu.php
I have tried it. It was an experience. I can't evaluate it w.r.t. "true" St Louis-style pizza since I am not from there.
Re: Pizza Compass
#40Someone should make an app like this for expatriates looking for the closest Starbucks or McDonald's.
I usually just look up and notice the golden arches. There are so many, that an app would take time away from enjoying a Big Mac
