| - Like Johnny Cash, I've been everywhere, man. I've had PIZZA everywhere, man. And Secret Pizza is, hands-down, the best pizza I've had ANYWHERE.
A few days ago, my fiancé and I got into a random conversation about what we would want to eat for a last meal if we found ourselves on Death Row. Both of us were kind of stumped. Now we know. SECRET PIZZA. In fact, if Secret Pizza was ONLY served on Death Row, I would commit atrocities against society to get my slice. I would.
Finding the place was kind of fun. I had an idea of where it might be based on other Yelp reviews, but I found myself tugging on door handles that do not open and trying to push on panes of glass that looked loose. I guess I expected it to be so secret that I would have to prove my worth in death-defying feats of strength or manifest the entrance with the power of my mind. Oh I figured it out alright, but not before I made a total ass of my dorky self in front of lots of scantily-clad club-goers.
My fiancé started freaking out first. For him, it was love at first ooey-gooey sight. I heard nearby diners launching expletive-laced raves about how it was the best "mo-effin' pizza ever." Yet, until I took that first bite, I didn't believe. Now I have seen the light... I have come to Pizza Jesus.
During the entire consumption of my portion of our pie (pepperoni, sausage, and pepperoncini), I giggled like I did on my first date with my fiancé. It was so good that I found it almost hilarious, especially since I just now found this place and I'M MOVING AWAY IN JUNE. Oh, the cruel, cruel irony. It's a cold world indeed.
We had plenty of leftovers. On the way to the car with our ginormous pizza box, my fiancé and I argued over how I was apparently "mothering him" by making him hold our precious treasure with two hands. Maybe he has a point - maybe I need to have a baby to detract from my abnormal attachment to inanimate objects (like pizza). But I digress.
Oh, and we had to remove a shelf in our fridge to make the box fit. I'm not even sure it was meant to be removed. I actually think it's broken now. Oh well. It's worth sacrificing the security deposit on our apartment to preserve the pristine state of our perfect pizza.
EDIT: FYI, the REAL secret of Secret Pizza is that you really need to order the whole pizza so it is fresh and hot. It isn't nearly as good if you just buy whatever slice is hanging around. Take my word for it. Buying the whole pie and having it piping hot takes this pizza from around 3 stars to 5.
