Ed,

How in the world did PIZZA get into this thread, too? :-)


>>>Are you suggesting it's a dietary thing? Never thought of that. Maybe I could get a grant from the government to study the effects of bad pizza on the human nervous system. They've funded stranger things.< g >

>>Wellll... I'm not exactly sure that at this point it's entirely a dietary thing. It seems to have become something more, perhaps there is a sort of universal or transcendant 'place' where all the focal points of pizza crust, sauce and cheese collide with human desire.

>It's the dough and the oven that make the key to a great pie; while red pies deserve much attention, only the greats can do justice to a white pie. Whatever, regardless of toppings, without great dough and a really hot brick oven, you can't get truly great za. Great sauce doesn't make up for unevenly baked crust, with the consistency of SillyPutty and all the character of moldy cardboard... < shudder >.

>What's amazing is I know a couple people who live less than a block from Sally's, which is open until 2AM, who order a pie from Domino's, delivered in their handy-dandy electric blanket bags. Less than 100' from a $2.00 slice of heaven. What fools these mortals be!
