Reply to comment by joeykey in Is Greeks making pizza just a CT thing? by Ancient_Belt_1291
My favorite will always be Village Pizza in Easthampton, MA. It is as close to pizza perfection I've ever had; wife insists we make the hour each way drive at least once a month for it. Unfortunately, this pizza does NOT reheat well (could be the unbrominated flour mix they use); it is by far the best fresh and hot.
The same Greek family also owned A-1 Pizza and Florence Pizza in Northampton, and there used to be a Parthenon Pizza up in Greenfield but I believe that closed a very long time ago.

Used to live in Easthampton and would get a large pepperoni from Village every Saturday night for like 6 years. Great pizza. Florence Pizza was also excellent. Great memories.

Village Pizza in Easthampton is a very solid pizza. I'm glad to see they've still survived the gentrification of what used to be such a nice small town.
You say A1(in Chicopee) is owned by the same people? I haven't had great success in Chicopee finding a good Pizza and A1 is one of the spots I still haven't tried. Everything has been hit or miss.

No, A-1 in Florence not Chicopee.
As teens we used to hang out at Village all the time while growing up there (80s-90s). That was back when Gus was still running it. Now it's his son John's place.

those were the days. Thanks for the info. I might have to make a trip over Mt Tom tonight for a pie.

We moved to western MA in Oct, and we keep encountering pizza from nearby pizza places that have fresh garlic in them.
Is this part of the Greek pizza thing (thin slices or chunks of raw garlic under the cheese)? We like garlic, but I guess we prefer it cooked.
