Do they charge extra for burning this misshapen mess?

Does he make one with Fritos or macaroni and cheese?

He uses a blend of buffalo mozzarella

Moose cheese is the only way.

But I am curious about one thing, what is a margherita? I have never heard of this. I assume it is a super sophisticated New York drink or dessert..

No, it's Italian. Named after Margherita of Savoy, Queen of Italy at the turn of the last century. The tomato, basil, and cheese, resembled the Italian flag.

“A plain apizza means the creator has the confidence in his dough and his sauce.”

Amen brother. Other than the dough, sauce and cheese, everything else is just personal taste.

Don't get me wrong - I'm no prude, and know the language, melody, and the tune.

However, people dropping the F-word repetitively (like this article, or its subject) make it merely vulgar and boring. And, if I used the F-Word in (for instance) my favorite BBQ joint down here, it wouldn't increase my popularity at all....

Mom used to say that people cursed because they didn't have the language skills to express what they really felt. Being a teenager at the time, I said "Feh. @#$#@#@%@!!!". Now, with 20-30 more years under my belt, I understand what she meant. For instance, it's much more memorable to come up with a creative and accurate description of a thing, than merely comment a throwaway: "It's a piece of #$#@$@ing #$@#$4!!!".

I'd exclude politicians from the list, though. There aren't enough four-letter words in the book for me to accurately express my contempt for the current DC residents.

Do you want to look at it or do you want to eat it?

The oven that made that pie has been burning continuously for 80 years. The coal fired oven is hot and it is dry, just like a pizza oven should be. Using a perfectly round pan to that kind of dough in that kind of oven is like binding the feet of baby girls, restricting them from their proper development.

That is pretty cool. There was a small pizza/sub shop in the small town where I grew up that had a curtain between the dining area and the owner's living room. You'd go in, he'd fix your food and go back to watching Lawrence Welk 10 feet away. Very modest existence, but when he finally closed and I asked my uncle "What's Mr. Stephano going to do?", he said, "Anything he wants, he's plowed his profits into real estate and owns about half the town."

I like the browned and burned crust there. Looks like a great pizza

You don’t understand. Having a surly waiter in NY is part of the overall experience. If you are uptight and aren’t cool about trying something different in NYC, you don’t rate a slice.

Get over it. Stay in Peoria.

The owner of this particular pizza joint loves to see comments like yours, it what keeps his establishment an exclusive place.

My favorite pie but I add garlic and sometimes fresh basil.
