I fear the hate mail, anger and criticism that this might evoke (especially from the Italians) but I have been to the celebrated and spectacular and the best, wood fire and brick oven and coal and made the trips into Brooklyn and Pepe's in Yale, New Haven Connecticut, paid those ridiculous prices and it was all fun and adventurous.
(Now, here it comes) Costco is not a bad pizza. I mean too cheesy but if you can handle that thick slab of rich decadent melted scamorza or mozzarella and I like to reheat it at home to dry out the doughiness --- but the value and satisfaction drives me back. And just to watch the families on the cheap plastic chairs forgetting all their prior arguments for a spell -- everybody's happy. Dad scored a bargain; mom doesn't have to cook; and the kids wouldn't know the difference between Costco pizza and the undisputed best pie on the planet.
