About 15 years ago I experienced the best pizza I'd ever had. It was in a cafe in, of all places, Edinburgh, Scotland. The taste of that pizza has haunted me for years. I've never found an acceptable substitute.
Until now.
I really don't know what it is but Jesse's Pizza does it. The cheese maybe? The sauce? I've not had much pizza in NYC so I can't compare but maybe this is the taste the people from there rave about.
I'm so hooked on this stuff I usually order at least once a week (large cheese, extra cheese - hi guys! :-) but I have to be careful not to overdose. I'm mildly lactose intolerant and if I eat dairy too often I regret it.
I obviously can't eat a 16" pizza by myself but it's hard to meet the $15 minimum delivery charge without ordering other food that doesn't really last (salads just don't keep well). And the cheese-only doesn't reheat well at all. So today I tried a half cheese and half loaded. I snarfed most of the cheese and it will be interesting to see how the loaded reheats for tomorrow's lunch.
Would love to see some other dessert options. No offense guys but those zeppoli are like sugar-covered bread bombs.
