    Some place in Rone when I was about 10 on a trip with my parents. Cut out of a massive rectangle, ate in the street, it was memorable.

    The best pizza I’ve ever had is probably the Little Caesars by my old apartment. Money can’t buy the experience of getting a couple cheap zas on your way home from work, sitting down in your living room with your brother, and playing Overwatch “split screen” (two TVs next to each other) until 4 o’clock on Friday (as in 4:00 AM on Saturday)

    Okay this is totally not what you’re asking but I have to share a funny story. (To answer your actual question, can’t think of anything but I don’t live in NY or Chicago so…)

    My family visited Scotland when my daughter was about 6, and there was one night we got to a hotel and just needed some food, and not a lot of places near us were open. But there was a pizza place, which would satisfy the kids. My daughter chose the “American” pizza, which had chicken, barbecue sauce, and yellow corn on it. (Yes, I’m serious.) She has been asking for that pizza for years since then. WTF?

        I mean, you do you! My daughter agrees with you in matters of taste. I did think it was awfully funny what the Scots thought of as “American.”

          they dont really think of it as american, they just dont really care. like american pizza in ireland is almost always “hot” pepperoni and jalepenos, mixed peppers and like a shake of some kind of pepper flakes.

          also in ireland they have “american wine gums” which as you know isnt a thing, theyre these really chewey gummy things live ive never seen

    Nothing in my area after 2020. They all got greedy, switched to Sysco to save a buck, and now they all taste the same.

      Ordering from Sysco is the same as going to a giant grocery store. Quality entirely depends on how much effort they put into it.

      That said, I still get annoyed when I order at a high end place and I can tell they used some sysco pre-made sauce instead of their own recipe. Don’t get me started on pre-packaged hollandaise, it tastes like miracle whip.

    Burt’s in Morton Grove Il is still my favorite.

    Burt passed a few years ago, but some locals bought it and reopened. It’s as good as ever.

    Famoso. It’s pricy unfortunately, being a restaurant instead of a takeout style place, but the price is indeed worth it
