I never even heard of Pizza until I was in junior high. It was not common in much of Southern flyover country, unheard of in fact (this was a long time ago). Then one day my dad came home after work with a “tomato pie”. So we all chowed down on tomato pie. Which sometime later learned was also called pizza.

Well now ya know, :)

That was true

No doubt

When I was a boy in the 60s we had a couple places in Jackson Mississippi where you could order a pizza. One was Italian ....Grecos

The other was Angelou’s ....Greek obviously

Then came Shakeys first which black beer and bands

Then Pasquales and Pizza Hut and Pizza Inn etc

Now few places don’t have decent pie usually owned by someone from Jersey

And all manner of bubble crusted old world style pies which I admit I like as well as New York slices at times...

The thing about NYC pie is the taste ....something there just comes together just right ....everywhere you look decent pizza

Nashville has three Jersey operated pizza people

They are the best for NYC style dripping slices

I also like Chicago on occasion but it’s very heavy

St. Louis ....has an unusual pie made with Provel cheese.....a mix of white cheddar Swiss and provolone

I stopped at Lombardos years ago.....it’s an acquired taste that cheese....on pizza...on ham and cheese or a corned beef better or a burger maybe
