There's a ritual involved in a visit to Brooklyn transplant Manny Macca's Manny's House of Pizza in downtown's historic Arcade, a spot that consistently and deservedly draws praise for having some of the best pizza in Nashville. You place your order - a slice, a whole pie, a magnificently fat stuffed stromboli, a meatball sub or recommended multi-decked lasagna - then you pay. Then you wait along the wall as cooks toil in front of the gigantic pizza ovens. Then you hold your cardboard serving box high above your head as you weave your way either back out the front door or to the back dining area. (Three intimate, cubbyhole-like tables fill up first.) We prefer the thin-crust, New York-style pizza, although the thick-crust Sicilian tops any other thick variety in town.
"The search for the world's best pizza is more about the journey than the destination and Manny's is one of those places that is worth placing on your map."
