I'm a huge fan of the pizzas we have in my nabe.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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.

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.

The best pizza I've had, period, is Frank Pepe's in New Haven, CT. However, I've rarely been out of New Engalnd in my life, so I'm probably not the best judge.
I've had pizza in NYC and Chicago, and nothing even comes close to Pepe's. It's a whole nother level of pizza.
I've heard wonderful things about Di Fara, but its record with the health department does not fill me with the desire to eat there.

Seriously. I've detoured driving south (as in, to or past NYC) to hit New Haven (not something one usually does) just to be able to get lunch or dinner at Pepe's.
In fact, it was my first official stop on my way to the Buffista F2F (and if I ever figure out how to get my pictures from that trip on line, the first one is the sign for Frank Pepe's).

I've had New Haven pizza and it's pretty delish.

It's like you love where you live or something.
Even in the 80s when I lived in LA it was impossible to find decent pizza. So much suck. The rule of thumb then was that you couldn't get good Italian in SoCal and you couldn't get decent Jewish deli in NorCal. I have to say that if I have to choose between cuisines, Italian is going to win that fight every time.
God, I'm hugry now! I need something very tasty.

Nah....
But the Italians do know how to do a good pizza. It's like they invented it or something.
