Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Gradine]

There are a fair number of people who just don't like olives.

Those poor souls

Having finally had a chance to look at the 2024 pizza, I'm not sure I can agree it's "basically" the same pizza that was introduced in 2008. I think there's elements from pizzas I've had in 2014, 2008, 2003, and 2000. Heck, I'm pretty sure I can recognize elements from the pizza I was having in college! Pizza styles evolve! A lot of things have to go wrong in your life before you invent Chicago-style!

My mother just took us out to Pizzeria Mozza last night. It's a Michelin star place with a James Beard award winning chef. As you would expect, the pizza was great. That said, I've had as good or better in a lot of little hole in the wall, mom and pop places. It makes me wonder about the rating system.

Michelin star restaurants don't appeal to me for some reason.

Is it just a pizza place, or do they have other entrees that they are judged on?

Its one of those odd things. I loved chilled, pitted black olives when I was younger, but don't seem to any more (and never really liked them on pizza, but to tell the truth I'm not a fan of any vegetation on pizza other than spinach).

Now I am hungry for an anchovie, kalamata olive pizza, thanks

Michelin star restaurants don't spiral to me for some reason.

My mother is impressed by things like that, so she was super excited to take us to this place. We gushed over it suitably and made her happy, but while it was really good, it wasn't all that and more.

My wife and I just want really, really good food, whether that's at the hole in the wall down the street or fine dining doesn't really matter to us.

Me too. That would be salt-tastic man

It has a lot other Italian dishes, but I saw one article that said it was one of the top places in the country for pizza, so I'm judging it more harshly than a mom and pop place.

Yeah, I think pizza is one of the great democratizers when it comes to restaurants. It’s relatively easy, from a restaurant perspective, to do really great pizza without having to be some CIA trained master chef or having worked with Thomas Keller or other superstar. That also means finding some sort of “OMG this pizza is the greatest pizza ever and blows away everyone else”…just isn’t a thing.
