I love Pizza

Don't you? Pizza is always gobbled up at every work event, birthday party, super bowl party, and late night study session. Admit it. You've got some well-worn pizza take-out menus in your office and kitchen drawers. 

When you're hungry, there's nothing more satisfying than biting into a hot pizza,  dripping with melted mozzarella or feta cheese, tomato sauce, and your favorite crust. Pizza can satisfy any need or desire: veggie, organic, deep dish, non-gluten, Mexican, pepperoni, pineapple, plain, non-dairy... I've even seen wedding pizzas advertised. There's a wonderful breakfast pizza at Rose Cafe on Union St with smoked ham, fontina, and eggs. And you can grab a beer, watch the game, and order from a variety of pizzas at Pizza Orgasmica.

My favorite pizza comes from New Haven, CT, and some NYC joints where the crust is thin and the emphasis is more on the cheese than the sauce. You can get a pretty good imitation of it at Amici's on Lombard where they bake their pizzas in wood burning ovens. Both the dough and sauce are made approximately 2 days beforehand, which gives the flavors a chance to mellow and breathe. 

Guess what I'm having for dinner!
