I lived in Chicago for a couple of years and being the typical NY pizza snob I believed the same thing, until I tasted it. It's so delicious you can eat it cold right out of the refrigerator the next day. All we have in NYC is Pizzaria UNOs which is not as thick and delicious like the tomato pies they serve at Giordanos and the original UNOs, Pizzaria Due, and Ginos East among others. Now we finally have Emmett's on west Houston with the real thing. Go try it and tell me it's not anything but delicious pizza.Giovannihttp://urbanmyths.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-76308281987007043092014-02-20T18:08:28.968-05:002014-02-20T18:08:28.968-05:00THEN LEAVE NYC YOU SELF-IMPORTANT LOSER.THEN LEAVE NYC YOU SELF-IMPORTANT LOSER.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-63796810676084523042014-02-20T17:40:42.113-05:002014-02-20T17:40:42.113-05:00Even Scalia, the “pride” of Xavier HS, (who I agre...Even Scalia, the “pride” of Xavier HS, (who I agree with nothing) finally said something I can agree with: Chicago pizza "is very tasty, but it's not pizza," he told the Chicago Sun Times over the weekend. Back in 2012, the justice told the paper "it should be called a tomato pie." Explaining the difference meticulously, he noted that real pizza is from Naples, Italy.

The same can be said for most any retail service or business. One could also consider leaning how to buy groceries and cooking as a radical option.

It is a strange mindset that somebody whose aesthetic sensibilities are threatened by too much pizza, looks to ban it for everybody else.<br /><br />The people who feel most strongly about this, of course, are the owners of the existing pizza places looking to keep out competition -- and this supposed 18 year resident is allowing himself to be used as their tool. Unlikely to have free time to speak up are the many people happy to be able to get a meal for a buck or two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-82055231388398442352014-02-20T11:52:54.412-05:002014-02-20T11:52:54.412-05:00The public demand for tpes of eateries will determ...The public demand for tpes of eateries will determine what food is sold.

Learning how to organize and lead is a lot better than learning how to give up on society. Who knows, maybe in a decade this person could be mayor, or at least councilperson who earned the cred'. <br /><br />I say, let's not knock this effort, and maybe this person will one day be ridding our neighborhoods of 7-11s, 4am clubs, and slumlords. There are just too many worse things that this person could be doing.<br /><br />Personally, I could go for a $1 eggroll, mini-burrito, samosa, kishka, meatball, or fruit cup.bowboynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-9134896748449870202014-02-20T09:39:57.672-05:002014-02-20T09:39:57.672-05:00Isn't that like saying no more cheesesteak in ...Isn't that like saying no more cheesesteak in Philly?
