Pizza is my favorite food. Burgers, steaks, lasagna, anything grilled and an assortment of other dishes are high on the list of favorites, but there’s nothing quite like a good slice of pizza pie…. That slice of pie has that perfectly baked crust that’s flaky/crispy on the outside, but tender and fluffy on the inside. Then there’s the marriage of toppings, the subtle spices of pepperoni and sausage, assorted veggies that are tender-crisp like onion and bell pepper. The sauce, it’s got to be a zesty sauce, providing those notes of garlic and oregano with each bite. And bringing everything together is a generous portion of melted cheeses, mozzarella, Parmesan, perhaps some cheddar or provolone that bubbles up in the oven to golden, brown, deliciousness!
No national chains will be included in this challenge. Only the local, regional pizza joints qualify. Besides, Domino’s sucks, Little Caesar’s really sucks (they’re so bad they don’t even deserve a link) and Papa John’s and Pizza Hut are average tasting pizzas at best. The fact is, the local/regional joints run circles around the national chains in dishing up high quality, great tasting pizza.
During the course of this challenge I’ll consider customer service, time to order, price, appearance and of course, the most important thing, TASTE.
Tonight I ordered a pizza from Angelo’s, a recommendation from a friend. I went with their “Truly Deluxe” pizza, ordering carry-out. The order is in line with the other orders from the various pizza places I have or will be visiting, ordering a large, supreme style of pizza – meat and veggie toppings – and ordering carry out.
