Good pizza is made by Italian-American owned shops that have been in the family for three generations and use a family recipe sauce, high quality cheeze and people who know what they are doing. Those family owned shops are rapidly disappearing as are distinctive Italian-American real neighborhoods. When Dominos, Pizza Hut Little Caesar and the other abdominable corporate chains open in Little Italy, you know it will be over.
We took a road trip back to my wife’s childhood town in NJ. Told the kids about the great pizza there. Arrived at our favorite pizza joint and it was packed.
It was their last night! My wife started going there 40+ years ago, and we just happened to travel the entire country to eat there on their last night.
Luckily there was/is another really good pizza joint in town.
