If most people knew what a traditional pizza was they’d most likely freak out.

I will eat of a traditional pizza any day.

What is a “traditional pizza”?

Pizza Margherita

NO!

The pie topped with tomato sauce, and cheese. Graced with some herbs like basil.

Some areas they might put eggplant slices on. Some places there is no tomato sauce but graced with olive oil instead.

I like the former one.

And there it is!

BTW..the taste of the tomatoes is pure heaven.

A couple of years ago I went to a doughnut shop in Scottsdale called the Donut Bar. They sold massive specialty doughnuts, and it wasn’t hard to spend $6 for a single doughnut. They are closed now, maybe Chin Up is a successor. I suspect even the well-to-do in Scottsdale won’t spend that kind of money more than once.

Ok, so where do you get your pizza here? I was underwhelmed by "La Piazza Al Forno" and "Pizzeria Bianco". I admit that I was raised on New Haven-style, which I prefer to this day. I actually like the ordinary but tasty Rafael's, which still has an autographed photo of President Reagan from the 1980 primary campaign.

You mean the one with the sugar and rosewater?

Have to admit, it was tasty!

If you are familiar with Old Town, Alien Donuts has closed. Hurts to lose a landmark store. The town loses more and more character when places like this disappear.

So many places trying to get attention/buzz/publicity with silly ideas like this - How about just making really good food?

Love it.

Sounds great!

When “I” go in and order, I ask tell them what to put on it. They will, and it really does make my wife angry. She likes them loaded.

Good pizza places will do that if you tell them.

Just tell them you want a traditional pizza and tell them what you want on it.

That photo is one.

You notice the tomatoes. Peeled and crushed/sliced.

The sauce goes on thinly, then the tomatoes, then the cheese, and over the top the herbs-basil, etc.

I got nothing against loaded pizzas. But, I am old school so..

That and I grew up around Iron Mountain MI where there are still a whole bunch of Italian places to eat at. And each will make one like they did in the area where they came from.

I wonder why I am getting fat..

Don’t call them donuts.

[windsorknot]

Uh, no.
