The article says in part, "Nearly 450 people voted on the city’s best pizza Sunday night at Pie Wars: Clash of the Slices, a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club of Johnson City put on by Young Professionals of the Tri-Cities.

The photos that they link to includes a picture of a brick oven.

Tosca, Montclair, New Jersey
A Montclair, New Jersey, entertainment site, mentioned Tosca, Montclair, New Jersey.
The site says in part, "If you want to have dinner and get to your movie at the Clairidge on time, there’s probably no closer, faster option than Tosca, Church Street’s new Italian featuring brick oven pizzas, pastas, paninis, and salads for lunch as well as more substantial fare (think osso bucco) for dinner."
Tosca also has a Facebook page.

Pompeii Pizzeria, Elk River, Minnesota
A member of the family mentioned Pompeii Pizzeria, Elk River, Minnesota.
It's one of the newer Neapolitan pizza places in the Twin Cities area, although it's in a far northwest suburb.
My family reports that the pizza there is very good.
They got some recent coverage on KARE-11.
Another link on KARE-11.
They make their own mozzarella daily.
Update March 25, 2011: There was a restaurant review posted in the blog, Monica's Nest. It included some good pictures and had nice things to say about the place.

J. G. Domestic, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
A food, drink, and gossip site for Philadelphia has a bit about J. G. Domestic, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
It says in part, "… this kitchen is flexing its muscle through vivid seasonal flavors drawn from across the land, and, as a result, more spontaneity than most any other Garces restaurant. The brick-oven flatbread delivered an earthy whiff of Oregon truffles and chanterelles scattered over creamy white asparagus béchamel piqued with Jasper Hill cheddar."
Another post from the same source has an annotated 360 degree view, but it's not clear that the restaurant really has a brick oven. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.

City Pizzeria, San Diego, California
The pizza reviewers at Serious Eats Slice had a review of City Pizzeria, San Diego, California.
The review says in part, "In downtown San Diego, a legitimately good slice of pizza can be hard to find. It turns out the best way to quell a pizza craving is to go a few blocks off the main drag to City Pizzeria, a thin-crust pizza shop that proofs its dough overnight to perfect its texture and flavor. Pizzas are cooked in a vintage brick oven and feature fresh, high quality ingredients. For $3 a slice (or $6 for two slices and a drink), you can't beat it."
It has pictures of some slices, but not of the oven.
