OTW to Stained Glass Pub for carryout.

Went there for ol' times sake a few years ago and was underwhelmed. Corner Pub is better.

Continental sells pizza?  Have only had cheesesteaks there but not a one in the last 20 years.

Yes!!! Make sure to get large square though.

We often get one square pie and a couple of cheese steaks.

I mostly go for the killer subs…but  The Italian Store in VA really makes a killer pie…no delivery

VA used to be a waste land for pizza, but we've got a few decent ones now

I get the Post on the weekends because I'm an old guy, and for some reason they sent me a Friday paper today, which included this:

Are we talking about the 2 Amy’s on Macomb in Cathedral Heights? That’s pretty good pizza.

Yes. Wonder why they never opened more locations?

I mean, I can’t say I’ve ever pondered that specifically but if you have an anecdote to share on the matter, go ahead.

They half did, because they are half of Etto on 14th street: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/at-etto-simple-pleasures-abound/2013/08/20/51d7419e-f847-11e2-afc1-c850c6ee5af8_story.html

Pizza delivery does not really work. Pizza is meant to be eaten straight out of the oven or within a couple of minutes (so you don't burn your mouth). Delivery pizza will arrive 30 minutes to an hour after it is out of the oven and will be cold and soggy.  This happens with a the high end craft pizza places. You almost have to rebake the pizza once it arrives to get the full experience.

The workaround is to order 1/2 baked pizza. Finish in a 500F oven for a few minutes. Huge improvement (tho still the same shitty ingredients.)

My recommended work around is Dominos thin crust. Arrives hot and delicious in 30 mins or less.

This is a thing you can do!? What places accommodate this? Teach me your ways.

All the places.

You can also order without cheese, then add your own, better cheese.  Works with sauce too.

Also, you can just buy a ball of dough from just about anywhere. That's the hard part…

OK, the LC sliced bread commercial was good.

So Hutch mentioned oxymoron and I agree….there really is NO good delivery pizza, you have to eat it fresh
crap pizza…well it's crap so they can over heat it and use ingredients that can make a 30 min drive

but in good news Yada, you don't have to come to arlington
