Just saw this thread this morning. Been reading it throughout the day. A lot of old aquaintainces are mentioned throughout the various post.
The Corona Heights Pork Store was owned and run by Frank and Mary Lu. A nicer couple would be hard to come by.
I have many fond memories of her telling me " tell me how you and your family are, before you eat"
Inevitably, I'd always arrive home late and not hungry.

SO I have been drooling looking at the IG of Mike's Underground in Amityville, has anyone had the pizza here?
Anyway, I wasn't overly impressed. It was good, not something I would drive 45 minutes for and wait in a parking lot.
Dough was thick and dense, I like a lighter, thinner, airy dough. Maybe a tad on the salty side. Again, not bad, but not the OMG I thought I would be getting after having my eyes fucked daily by their IG.
Anyone??

“They make the flour for dough on site.“
Wowww, you mean they actually mill the grains of wheat on their premises to roll into dough?
That’s incredible. That goes back to the earliest concept of Italian pizza, where the grain was the mainstay of the pizza, and the toppings were far less important, and used quite sparingly.
American pizza reinvented pizza to make the bread portion but a carrier for the lavish toppings.
If this place is milling flour, that is something really phenomenal for pizza lovers. Old Old Old school - or shall I say “ANCIENT SCHOOL PIZZA,” because you won’t even find that very often in Italy.

Aegean Pizza & Italian Restaurant (had the best square pizza) formerly located @ the Sunvet Mall, 5801 Sunrise Highway, 11741, Holbrook NY, - I haven't tried their "rented" oven location under the Carlo's Pizza Oven store front 480 Patchogue-Holbrook Rd #23, Holbrook, NY 11741
La Scala (and their other locations with different names) 34 Vanderbilt Motor Pkwy, Commack, NY 11725, they also make awesome house salad dressing and their pasta combo meals are excellent.

I have had a few slices from Carlos', never a fan it was just close and convenient (my sister's kids danced at the dance studio next door) and would meet up with them for a quick dinners every once in a while. I would have rather driven the 8 minutes to Aegean - I hope to make it one day to try the Aegean Pizza in the Carlos oven.
