Cheez-its are nearly as perfect as bacon.

Stopped for some pizza and a beer at Cushwa Brewery after a hike.

FYI today is World Pizza Day (National Pizza Day was moved to coincide with it… DAMN GLOBALISTS)

if you google "national pizza day" you'll get links to various news stories describing which chains are having deals, giving away pizza, etc. - in case you want to indulge tonight.

i'm currently having a a very sad slice of cafeteria pizza, of previously frozen origin.  no time to head out and find a decent slice.  woe est moi.
Leftover pepperoni slices from Gemelli's heated in the air fryer. Mmm.
I’m going on record
the uncooked pizza that Whole Foods carries is the best make at home pizza.

Had some pepperoni tonight
It's not real pizza unless it's cooked at 900F. If you're heating it up in your Kitchenaid, then it's just bread with an inferiority complex.

what, now huh?
I’ve had so much what I “not real pizza” I’m my life, I could write a book about

Yes my oven maxes out at 500, but I’m telling you, it is easily better than at least 80% of the places in the DMV that somehow stay in business selling “pizza”

While there are a few exceptions, the thing I feel dc should be known for is how bad the average slice of pizza is in this area
Bacon is called bacon, because it is not called, pizza.
I don't think I've ever had bacon on my pizza. I'd like to try it now.

I have to agree with you. I’m not sure how we got on a pizza rant in the bacon thread.

I called foul on the original poster

i'm of the position that pizza is, in fact, a perfect food.  right up there with sushi… and bacon.

bacon + black olives is a killer 'za combo.

900 is excessive, 750 is upper end for me and typically i stay at 650.  the missus got me a pizza oven for xmas, it's a huge hit at the sweetcell household.
Ok this may well be the world's most perfect food from a local food truck Borinquen Lunchbox. Their Cheese Dog is a hot dog with cheese wrapped with their empanada dough.  Apologies to all vegans…



I remember this food truck from when I used to work downtown and food trucks were a plently and freely roamed the streets…  Based on their Instragram page they only just appear at local breweries at this point..

While in Venice we went this restaurant that had it not been around the corner from the AirBnB, we likely would have never found it.

It was this small 12 seat restaurant that has had the same menu, owner, chef and waiter for something like 35 years where very famous people have eaten (think Venice Film Festival)  and was featured on the show "Someone Feed Phil".  none of that was known of course before we went to eat there.

anyways their signature dish is this massive piece of pounded pork that's twice fried, it's the size of a small pizza and it costs <redacted for space> 

they told us the dish would be better a day later and sure enough we took home what we couldn't finished, bought some salad stuff and had it for dinner later.

super yummy

now as I occasionally do I was looking at some of the 1 star reviews for the place and a bunch of them were complaining that this pork dish had way to much vinegar and why did Phil like this. etc.  Of course if you watch the show it shows them dumping all the vinegar on the dish.. silly americans
Here is a picture of said pork chop
