    Pizza?



    This is a visual attempt to lure customers to a local pizza shop. The cheese IS yellow, the black olives ARE canned, and the whole thing has the consistency & taste of a macaroni and cheese casserole and cardboard.
    Since no one in this entire region has any taste, this shit flies.

    Is CALIFORNIA GROWING Kalamata olives yet? Those black olives you get in a can don't even come close to what an olive is. Kind of like rubber that breaks down quickly.

    It's not the California olives themselves, which are just fine. The fault lies in the way canned olives are processed, which is the brutally expedient lye process rather than the classic, but slower, salt brine process.

    You can buy salt-processed California olives, at least here in CA, but not in a can. I've seen them dried Greek-style (my personal favorite) as well.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I can tell you one thing. That stuff in the picture is NOT pizza. At least not by NYC standards. Real pizza is dough, mozzarella, and sauce, sometimes with some subtle spices. It can be topped, i.e with sausage, peppers, pepperoni, mushrooms, etc. but, if it is quality, it should stand on its own without any additional toppings. The crust should be thin and the pie should be baked in a coal or wood fired oven at high temp.

    When in the NYC area you can find good pie at Tottono's in Brooklyn and Manhattan, Pepe's in Yonkers, and Connecticut among others. Patsy's in Manhattan is supposed to be good but personally I have not tried them. I've been hearing that Brooklyn is the hot spot for good authentic pizza's.

    I actually had a decent frozen pizza from........ wait for it........ Wal Mart. It was a "pizza of the world" or something like that. It came with big chunks of fresh (frozen) mozzarella. Wasn't too bad for production line cardboard.
