Pizza.
Where do you think the best pizza is? For most people they think of New York and they think of Chicago— I’ve had both and I can attest that both places are convinced theirs is superior.
New York pizza is flat and foldable and that’s how you’re supposed to eat it— Chicago pizza is served in a very thick crust— almost like a pie— and one piece is enough thank you very much.
I like both.
A recent survey found both cities left out of the top 20 so maybe my opinion is old. Boston came in at #3. Worcester Pizza is mostly the Greek kind— that means a doughy crust and not a lot of sauce.
For around here, I’d suggest New Haven Ct as the best pizza around— Frank Pepe’s and the rest of the crew on (ironically) Worcester Street put up pretty amazing pies.
The UxLocale has a really great selection of pizza’s thanks to my friend, chef and owner Elaine. She even will have them put an over easy egg on it for me like they do in Tokyo— delicious.
The worst pizza I ever had? Until recently I thought I could eat just about any pizza and then I got one from a hotel restaurant in Chicago— which brags that theirs is “legendary”. It was completely inedible. It smelled like feet— and I’m not talking pretty lady feet I’m talking my high school locker room (not that I spent a lot of time smelling my fellow Football players feet). I took one bite and sent it back.
So much for legends.
