| - Happy National Pizza Party Day.
I always look forward to May 15th, esp. since I found out this morning that it's National Pizza Party Day!
To celebrate, I decided pizza was in order for lunch (I was going to hit Cien Agaves for tacos, but hey, it's a holiday...I needed to get in the spirit of things:)
Now I (just like you) understand that pizza isn't a food for the masses...it's supposed to be made only from freshly diced organic tomatoes, grown in the shade of an olive tree...Pizza is supposed to have only house-made mozzarella and basil that was still swimming in the Adriatic Sea this morning (basil's a fish, isn't it?).
I know pizza is supposed to be inaccessible and exotic...the stuff dreams are made of...not something just any old "joe short case" (definitely a euphemism) can buy off the street.
In short, pizza is just for royalty...not for us work-a-day people.
So I was surprised and delighted to find Best of Italy serving pizza during my noon-time walkabout of Old Town Scottsdale, today!
Best of Italy...quite a claim, but we'll see!
I walked in and the man behind the counter greeted me with a pronounced Italian accent...so far, very authentic:)
I asked him if he knew about the holiday...you know...National Pizza Party Day?
He looked at me like I had just grown an extra eyeball in my forehead and asked me again what kind of slice I wanted.
I opted for the "meat lovers" even with the slightly "bi curious" theme the name implied.
Well, I would not have believed it...there was no tomato farm out back (giant cans of tomato sauce, if the kitchen shelves are to be believed), giant sacks of "cheese", large vats of "Italian spices", that may have never seen actual sunlight during the growing process.
Yet, the Best of Italy serves up a delicious and perfectly serviceable slice of pizza...in several different flavors and configurations!
Suddenly, the food of the gods is available to the masses...you can walk right in off the street and get a slice.
For only $3.00 (with diet coke, out the door for under $5.00...that's right, diet coke!)
It's enough to make me want to have a party...a National Pizza Party!
So, is the Best of Italy the best of Italy? I don't think I would go that far. But we should thank them for bringing pizza pie to us wretched masses who don't have the time queue up for 7 hour waits, or the monetary resources to spend $50 for one of the precious pies.
Best of Italy, you do us all a service:)
