If you have ever been to Chicago, or at least heard of the great city you must know it is one of the best cities for pizza! It's almost impossible not to love at least one of the famous Chicago pizzas. I never really "got it" when friends/family would come back to Chicago and the first food item they would want is pizza. Well, NOW I DO!! There are so many reasons I love New Mexico but pizza is not one of them. We have asked so many people for pizza recommendations and not a one has come close to a Chicago pizza. Last night we decided to try yet another recommendation. We go with no expectation, and hope for the best. It's sort of funny how while we sit waiting for the pizza, we tell each other not to be picky . . . keep an opened mind, but in the end it just doesn't come close. The pizza last night was not bad, actually it may the best we have had so far, but it's not Chicago. If you are reading this and think I'm crazy to be making a big deal about pizza then most likely you are not from Chicago ;-)
I've never had a pizza actually "from" Chicago, but have had what is named "Chicago Pizza" & I liked it. We have a favorite pizza place in Denver, so that's a favorite. Funny how one always has that special place/meal in one's life. There is a Mexican restaurant here we think just can't be bested anywhere. Friends who moved back east also missed the bar-b-que they had in Kansas City. Good luck in finding your pizza, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteI know what to send you for your birthday this year... Lous! :) Leaving Chicago and the pizza wasn't easy, but you will find something close... I know it!
ReplyDeleteWe are particular about our pizza ... good luck testing in the meantime. Otherwise, I was thinking like Chris, we may need to order and send you some real pizza!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing we did when we got back from our vacation was order pizza! I get it!! I wonder why our pizza doesn't catch on in other places???
ReplyDeleteNow I have a taste for pizza and I'm eating PB&J...
