Dear Slice: 'You Have Not Tasted the Best'
You handle that one very graciously.
Gotta love the run on sentences.
Dear Slice: 'You Have Not Tasted the Best'
Thanks. I think I will take your advice as soon as lunchtime rolls around.
Dear Slice: 'You Have Not Tasted the Best'
Sorry. Eat two slices and call me in the morning.

This thread is starting to make my head hurt.....
Dear Slice: 'You Have Not Tasted the Best'
How many? Anyway, they're probably catering to Californians. Many Californians go to Italy every year. I don't know how many, exactly, but many.
Dear Slice: 'You Have Not Tasted the Best'
Well, then I guess spaghetti and meatballs is also an abomination. As well as manicotti.....not to mention pasta y fagiole reheated before eating...... How about dumping tomatoes all together from ANY recipe italian, as well as peppers, get rid of polenta while your at it too, THAT is not originally Italian, so in some way, get rid of that too...............
Oh by the way, pineapple is served IN MANY TAVOLA CALDAS and pizzerias in NAPLES, the amalfi coast, as well as ROME.
Pizza is Pizza REGARDLESS of the toppings, NO MATTER HOW SILLY.
It may not float your boat, but new toppings are introduced everyday.
Kinda like when the first Italian did the utterly nauseating, placing the NEW WORD TOMATO on a pizza......Can you imagine the audacity??
Dear Slice: 'You Have Not Tasted the Best'
what?! adam, you haven't tried good pizza until you've also been to my favorite place in guam if it's still open they have a different special pie every day i liked the roasted veggie one back then i was vegetarian. hope you make it coz you'd really be missing out if you don't.
Dear Slice: 'You Have Not Tasted the Best'
Yeah, millions love McDonald's too. That doesn't make it good. Perhaps I should replace the pineapple in my next pina colada with pepperoni, eh? Hey! How about cherries on pizza? Maybe blackberries? Pizza is still sort of, you know, Italian-based. So no, American pizza makers shouldn't have the same opportunities. I guess it...is...possible to invent a wholey American flatbread that could conceivably have pineapple on it. Get goin'.
Dear Slice: 'You Have Not Tasted the Best'
I'm not much for pineapple either, but just as Italian pizza makers utilize ANY italian topping THEY consider appropriate such as baby eels, cured strips of pork fat, rendered pork lard, sauteed dandelions, even tripe; I think American pizza makers should have the same opportunities. And since the USA is so diverse, so should be their choice of toppings. I can't stand Hawaiin pizzas, but MILLIONS love them. With so much snobbery involved in the food industry, it would be nice if pizza was exempt.
PS: IMPORTED tomatos are NOT superior in every case. In fact, I find it hard to believe that important san maranzano tomatoes would win a taste test if the names were hidden. American tomatoes, especially canned are FAR SUPERIOR, IMO, than imported Italian. Crafted italian food products such as cold cuts are still superior to their american counterparts but raw food products, such as tomatoes, flour,etc are ever bit as good in america as they are in Italy, I I have worked in both places over the last 40 years.

I teach college and grade lab reports on a weekly basis. Her command of the English language is now commonplace. It's amazing to me that people can write something on paper and not realize that if they read it out loud, it would sound like jibberish.
Dear Slice: 'You Have Not Tasted the Best'
I think reading this hurt my brain too. I've gotten about 1500 emails, many recommending pizzerias not just from the 50 states but from around the world, but not one ever mentioned "Flying Pie". You'd think if it was really the best we'd have heard of it by now. And it's not location. I've probably gotten 15 recommendations for ApizzaScholls. The website of Flying Pie is one huge red flag. Zero photos of the food is red flag #1. The menu is red flag #2. Pardon me if I don't hop the next flight out.

It's not just the toppings that make Cali pizza b.s. (and I'm from Cali). It's the crust.. it's soft, and doughy, lacking the real chaw and blistering I need to have on my pizza.. you can't just throw a bunch of random ingredients on top of refrigerator biscuits and call it pizza. The only great pizza I've ever had in California, was from the old Valentino's in Reedley.. they are still around, but I don't think the original family owns it or runs it..
Dear Slice: 'You Have Not Tasted the Best'
All California pizzerias are automatically disqualified... Because that's where bullshit pizza was born. By bullshit I mean pineapple and other awful stuff. You see cans of Dole pineapple stacked up, not cans of imported tomato sauce
To get anything decent there you have to pay through the nose at some kind of Wolfgang Puck place and I'll bet slices are all but unknown.

Wonder if she's been to Phoenix...
Dear Slice: 'You Have Not Tasted the Best'
I find it odd that people are so critical. This isn't the NY Times (or what the NYT was 20 years ago). There's no west coast bureau chief chasing down every lead/slice. It's an accumulative experience, and the site generously incorporates notes from very unproven sources/palates, as long as their written/photographed decently. You want Oregon on the Pizza Map? Write a frackin' review!
Dear Slice: 'You Have Not Tasted the Best'
That hurt my brain.
Dear Slice: 'You Have Not Tasted the Best'
Me fail English, thats unpossible.
