Since she's a cook, she's talked me out of it so far, but it'll
happen.
Anyway, she reminded me of a Pizza Hut pizza we got in Punta Gorda
last year. And I remembered another time I took the kids to a Pizza
Hut down there, somewhere on the west coast.
Wouldn't think of entering one up here, but they were real good pizzas
for Florida, and the mozz was good.
Maybe they ship it from Chicago.
Let me know what you think about that.

You *have* to keep bringing this up, Vic?

Have you ever been to Barnaby's?

Lou Malnatis and Giordanos will ship. I don't know of any others. I have
some on the way right now!

Damn you guys.

The ONLY good pizza in Chicago comes from mom and pop operations, thin
crust. :-)



That would be NY style pizza.

Yo Vic. I grabbed this off the google groups side bar.

Thanks, Tim. Bookmarked that in my Pizza & Beer folder.
It'll come in handy.
You know, I looked at the menu for a Pizanos nearby in your link.
Their largest thin crust is a 14". A cheese & sausage is $17.40.

At the Dino's that Duck gave me an 18" cheese and sausage is $17.75.
http://www.dinosonhiggins.com/
I've forgotten my measurement of circles, but an 18" is about twice
the acreage of a 14".
Guess where I'm going?
Another thing, I never found a relationship between the price of a
pizza and how much I liked it.
This is where I bought more pizzas than anywhere.

You can't read that, but I think the 18" cheese and sausage is still
$12.75, like it was 10 years ago. And they toss in a quart of Pepsi.
I'll have to drop by there and see if the same guys are in the
kitchen.
They knew me well, because I'd pick up an 18" about once a week.
When I picked up my last ones, for everybody who was helping me move,
I told the head guy - forgot his name - this was it, I was moving.
He asked where and I told him, and he said don't worry, we'll deliver
to you. He new his pizza better than his geography.
They had a card stapled to their pizza boxes. Save 20 cards and get a
large pizza free.
Bet I got 6 or 7 free ones with the cards.
BTW, I paid 30 bucks for the worst pizza I ever tried to eat - in
Edwardsville one weekend we spent with my sister.
30 bucks for 14" because it was supposed to be the best pizza in
Southern Illinois. My ass.
Next time I talk to her I'll get the name for you.
Good place to avoid.
