I think Grimaldi's is overrated, but there are several other institutions in Brooklyn, like Di Fara's, Franny's and Totonno's.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
So much angst for pizza! I still think Shakespeare's is some of the best I've had. [link]

I do remember New Haven having good pizza.
Actually, I'm pretty happy with my local place (Mozzarella di Bufala).

Probably the best pizza I've had is plain cheese slices from Little Steve's Pizzaria on Boylston St., Boston. But those deep dish spinach pizzas at Giordano's in Chicago are pretty tasty too.
Back around 5th or 6th grade I drew and assembled a vast armada of fold-together paper spaceships, some of which had straws attached to the tops so I could sail them across the room on fishing line.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'm a huge fan of the pizzas we have in my nabe.

Matt, you were a cool kid.
My cousin and I had paper horses - we started doing them after Velvet Brown in National Velvet but we drew and colored our paper horses ourselves rather than cutting them out of magazines.

not your mom's socks.
Brick Oven Pizza in Baltimore = yum. but not necessarily for the purist.
There is no good pizza near us now. we pine.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We tend to order (Oh, the humanity) Domino's, as the local pizza places have all been very disappointing. I have hopes there will be someplace good near our new house, so if anyone knows a great pizza place in North Hollywood, let me know.

A sign of how much LA has changed. Back in sixties and seventies there is no way you would have a candidate for best pizza in the U.S. in Southern California. You were damn lucky to find decent pizza. A typical S. Cal pizza was described by an Italian American friend as "cracker crust with ketchup".

Around here, pizza is a thick doughy crust with sweet sauce. I miss the thin crust with a sauce full of oregano and garlic. Ah, New York pizza, how I yearn for you.
