There used to be a small pizza parlor here, a hole in the wall, that made this stunningly good New York style pizza, a thin crust, mountains of cheese and tremendously huge slices...folding that baby up to take a bite, grease and cheese would be on the verge of flowing out like lava if you're not careful , good lord it was heaven.
These days we gravitate towards Pizza Hut, a meat lovers' pizza , hand tossed crust, a pan style on occasion.
But, also we were pleasantly surprised to find that Digornos frozen pizzas are delicious. We have to watch costs and usually can get 2 Digornos for the price of one large Pizza Hut pie. Of course you're always going to compromise when you settle for a frozen pizza, but, aside from sometimes the crusts being a bit much, Digornos pizzas are pretty damn tasty

If I have to, I'll fix my own plumbing and save money and I'll do a pretty decent job. If I want to repaint the living room, I'll grab buckets of paint, tape and take care of it. With some sanding and well placed decorations, it'll look kinda okay when it's done.
But when I want pizza, I want real, actually good pizza. For that, I always - ALWAYS - leave it to the professionals. Not the chains manned by pimply teens, not the frozen food aisle, not my relatives, but the guy down the block with his own little pizzeria. Because nobody, and I mean nobody, makes it as good as the guy who does it for a living with the proper ingredients and the regulation ovens. Anything less is just a stopgap until I can get a real pizza.
So says I.

I have travelled this planet in search of great pizza  and actually started out eating pizza in New York; As a vegetarian I didn't find much else fast food to get there at the time. I have since eaten it in many big cities and would have to say that no place can top Rome; the pizza I ate there was beyond delight and once I came back, all the other pizza places I frequented suddenly felt a lot less 'authentic' and pleasing. I think if you don't know any better, you'll automatically say your place is the best pizza (and to you it prob will be). After doing that trip I found it necessary to experiment myself to get my perfect pizza together; this meant trying out different flowers to get the dough perfect, different herbs for the sauce and different toppings for the pizza. Also using an oven that gets as hot as possible as you really need the surface of the pizza to boil. I think I've got a pretty good version down, although sometimes I still prefer the pizza from a local place, though it's very expensive and I can make 3 of them for the price they charge. Especially 4 cheeses is very expensive over here (12 euro or 15,5 dollars).
Of all the American cities I've been to, I have to say that New York pizza was the best by far; And I'm talking about the real pizza places, not the Domino's or Pizza Hut because those are the fast food chains of pizza (you have those over here as well). But even the genuine American pizza places pale in comparison to what the Romans prepare. And this isn't a dish against Americans as the French, Spanish, ... also lack the finesse. Once you've gone Italian pizza, you will have a hard time getting back to what it is you thought pizza meant before

) where the house special pizza (the "happy pizza") is just delicious. It is essentially a meat feast but has the addition of capers and garlic - really big chunks of roasted garlic. Absolutely gorgeous.
