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.

Best pizza in the state comes from Greek owned restaurants. It is very much a north eastern thing, as well as in Chicago, parts of Florida and a few other pockets of the country were Greek immigrants settled in the late 60s and into the 80s. A lot of them opened restaurants back then because they didn't have any marketable skills and few spoke English well. Some of those places have been taken over by their children and kept within the family, while other places have been sold to Albanians, Russians and even Turks while still carrying certain Greek themes.
