Some of my best memories involve pizza. We had some really good NY style pizza shops in Morristown NJ growing up. Man how I miss them. Can't get the real thing here in VA. Been to Chicago once but never tried the pizza there. Sounds good though!

Ever thought about opening up a spot of your own? Not sure if Virginia gets alot of New York transplants? My folks moved down to Charleston, SC which they said had no good pizza and no Italian markets or grocery stores. Charleston is growing really quickly and a ton of East Coast and Midwest transplants who always complain about not being able to find good pizzas, deli meats, italian grocery items, etc so I seriously thought about maybe trying to open something up down there.
Naw, there are pizza places everywhere but only a couple are decent. Seems everyone has tried there hand at making it. Its hard for restaurants to make it now adays. Heck we have another opening up down the street as I write this. Crazy. Most don't make it the first year. Even if you were good you would get lost in the crowd and most people now want a quick cheap and easy dinner. They don't want to pay for quality it seems. I had thought about something years ago and probably should have done it but now, here is pretty much to late.
I remember in my childhood when we moved from Chicago to Minneapolis. I remember my dad asking some neighbors where can we get a good pizza round here. Their answer...pizza hut lol...I thought my dad was going to lose his mind.
For the next few years while we lived there anytime we'd come back to visit before we would even arrive at my grandmas house we'd stop and pick up a pizza
Yep, taste of home. I always do the same. I love NY style pizza and NY strip steak. We even had great Philly cheesesteak shops where I grew up. Man i'm hungry all of a sudden for some reason. LOL
Lol! Pizza Hut. Come on! Everyone should know of at least one local place to get an especially good pizza! When I was in grad school, I tried every pizza place in town. The best one was a regional north-western chain known as Papa Kelsey's. They even beat out the wood oven place where all the hipsters gathered.
