[geeks] Pizza anyone?

[Caleb Shay]

Well, when I lived in Los Angeles there wasn't any pizza I would eat. 
 It was all horrible.  If I was having friends over and they insisted on 
pizza (LA natives wouldn't know good pizza if it fell on them), I would 
go with Dominos because 1) I could order it online, rather than having 
to hunt down the number 2)  They have the garlic butter dipping sauce 
for the crust which rocks.

I'm back in New England now, and as far as chains go, Papa Gino's is the 
best.  Conveniently, I live right behind a Papa Gino's.  Can't afford to 
eat out right now though.  Not until I find another job.  They have a 
good thin crust, true.  They also have a parmesan thick crust that is 
damn tasty.

Bacon pizza is by far my favorite, with ham & pineapple coming in a 
close second.  That's for the chains.  My friend Nick's (Nick 
Castle...of many bad movies fame, virtual pizza to the first person to 
figure out who he is) wife made me a pesto pizza that was to die for.
