I'm partial to some local-to-Springfield places like Red Rose and Spiro's myself, but even the regional chains like Pizzeria Regina and Papa Gino's are distinctly Boston-style and even at 9pm on the Mass Pike can produce a better slice than any of the more highly regarded pizza places where I live now. The best way I can characterize New England or Boston style pizza is like this: thin, but not quite as thin as New York style; far less greasy than other varieties resulting in a crust that's actually sort of dry and crispy; and the sauce, what there is of it, is more pink than red, with noticeable bits of tomato pulp and far less spicy (hardly any garlic or oregano, if you want those you sprinkle them on at the table) than anyone else's pizza sauce. When Domino's opened in my hometown shortly after I moved away, it was just like any other Domino's pizza, but after my family ordered it my mom referred to it as "lethal", most other people felt the same way, and they closed within 6 months. > I do miss Little Caesar's that they had in Cleveland.

A few months back a Little Caesar's semi passed me on the interstate, and I actually followed it to where it was going: a local K-mart with Little Caesar's as its snack stand. I ordered a pie, but sadly, in the hands of the K-mart cashiers doing double duty as pizza chefs, it was completely disgusting. OK, that must be my most off-topic [stella] post ever. Sadly, I'm way out of the way for a Boston-PhillyClassic run, so I probably can't do any carpooling if I go at all.
