Bruce I am shocked you didn't mention La Barbara's. It was the first pizza I found to be exceptionally good.

I won’t try to go through all my memories pertaining to pizza, but I do remember that my introduction to the Chicago deep dish style was in the late 70s when Numero Uno came to LA. (Is that the correct name? I’m always conflating that with “Uno” — or are those in fact the same thing?) Anyhoo, I believe that first location I knew was on Restaurant Row, or within a block or two of it. Anyone else recall that?

I liked that style for a while but it eventually got old for me. I’m all about the Connecticut style thin crust now. Or a standard New York style, which I think (?) is yer basic thin — as opposed to deep-dish — one. The Connecticut is of a more specific character that’s a little different.

We enjoyed Numero Uno's very much. After we left L.A. friend's would get pizza from there when we visited. We ate at an Uno's (same chain different names), at least I don't think it included the Numero part of the name, in Pennsylvania. It was good but no where near as good at the original in LA though I believe even that wasn't as good as when it first opened.

Other than Skip's homemade pizza, of all places, our high school cafeteria made the most amazing-tasting pizza, and they'd have them packed up in vending machines like an Automat.

Claudio's in our neighborhood is also excellent!

I'm up, I'm up - eight-and-a-half hours of sleep.

I don't remember La Barbara's pizza. Numero Uno, which is a very specific thing, was great. And in the Bay Cities days, there was a great pizza jernt that Nick Redman's then-wife worked at - Da something, maybe DaVida's - next to the Odyssey record store on Wilshire.

The overture is finished, I am quite happy to report. Tomorrow, I will sit down and go through it and make any adjustments. Hopefully on Wednesday I can send it to the conductor.

We started going to La Barbara's in high school. It was fantastic.

Pizza for breakfast sounds good.

Always.

I live in NY. I have no recollection of a first pizza because I have been eating pizza ever since I grew opposing teeth.

Ditto!

The earliest pizza place that I can remember going to was Pietro's Pizza when we first moved to Washington. There was a restaurant in Lacey where Fred Meyer is. At the time, there used to be a drive-in theater exactly where Fred Meyer is now, and Pietro's was next to the drive-in.

When I was in high school, my friend Andrew and I would play the computer game Jungle Hunt at Pietro's...long before home computer games. That was our game. It was unusual in that you moved from the right to the left as you jumped over logs and alligators and swung from vines to try and save the girl.

Back from picking up no packages and a chicken salad sandwich and no fries or onion rings.

The cats and I are closing up shop and chilling out with the TV before bed. Good night, everyone!

Well, I'm leaving work. My niece needs me to restaple some plastic siding onto her chicken protecting gazebo thing. I put up the plastic siding the first time, but I guess I didn't staple it or put it up carefully enough. Spoo!! So, I'll restaple it.

Be back later.

The hamlet in which I live is less than 4 miles square. We have at least a dozen pizza places

Do they serve pizza by the slice?

Most of them do. I think only Domino's and Papa John's don't.

I just got asked to pick up something for work. So, it's off with the movie and on with the Brahms Symphony No. 4.

John G. · « **Reply #79 on:** October 21, 2019, 07:36:20 PM »

I didn't get any pizza today. I'm not entirely happy about that.

John G. · « **Reply #80 on:** October 21, 2019, 07:39:50 PM »

I have had a great deal of runaround these last few days at work. But at least that keeps me employed.

John G. · « **Reply #81 on:** October 21, 2019, 07:40:47 PM »

And of all the cafeteria facilities we have, including several Wendy's and Subways on site, there is no pizza to be had.

John G. · « **Reply #82 on:** October 21, 2019, 07:41:11 PM »

That, of course, becomes a problem when you can't leave campus easily to go get a pizza.

John G. · « **Reply #83 on:** October 21, 2019, 07:41:23 PM »

Jane, I'm enjoying Rules of Civility. I don't know where the story is going and just want to read more. I'm about 40% of the way through the book.

John G. · « **Reply #85 on:** October 21, 2019, 07:43:43 PM »

I've also started listening to Stephen King's latest, The Institute, which is getting creepy. Santino Fontana ("Tootsie" Broadway) is providing a really good reading. This is the second or third book I've heard him read and like it.

John G. · « **Reply #86 on:** October 21, 2019, 07:44:29 PM »

But what I really want to do is sleep.

John G. · « **Reply #87 on:** October 21, 2019, 07:44:41 PM »

Which probably will happen soon.

John G. · « **Reply #88 on:** October 21, 2019, 07:44:50 PM »

But first ...

John G. · « **Reply #89 on:** October 21, 2019, 07:44:58 PM »

We need to move on ...
