I don't know about the most expensive, but thinking about the "George's Special" from Lowell House of Pizza (Menu Here) has me close to planning a trip back to Lowell from Philly just to get a pie. It's that good.

What's on the special? Is it basically a supreme pizza with roni/olives/onions/bell peppers/sausage? Or do they kick it up somehow? Based on the picture of the mushroom in their header and the extra $5 I'm guessing they must do it up nice.

If I wasn't so intrigued by your suggestion I would have recommended a drive down to Westford to get some Diggy's Detroit Style; plenty of exotic 'za combos there and they're not the cheapest game in town

Pretty much but it also has “hamburg” on there as my family used to call it. The sauce is an old recipe and the pizza is actually way smaller than you’d think for the price but crispy and tall but doesn’t feel thick. This Sun Article goes into the history a bit

Edited to add: I really want some now, but my family doesn’t even live in Lowell anymore. Guess I’ll have to see if anyone’s throwing a 20-year for LHS class of ‘03!

That sounds incredible. I’ll have to get that asap. George’s Pizza moved locations when I was in my early teens but then closed probably when I was 18 and I’ve been looking for that amazing “Hamburg and onion” Pizza ever since. Nashua House of Pizza gets something close but it’s still not George’s. So this special at LHOP might just be the best impression. THANK YOUUUUU!
