PIZZA, PIZZA...

Some things have changed so much since I was in college. Other things are constant and perpetual... and  pizza has got to be one of 'em. Nothing brings back 'fonder-er' memories than the late night 'za delivered fresh and hot from the Pizza Pit in old Mad-Town.

It was a momentary reprieve from the grind of studying / cramming filled with saucy and cheesy goodness. It was the accompaniment to a cold brew on a VHS/Beta movie night in a good friend's dorm room (note: the drinking age was once 18 in Wisconsin). It was the solace after a heartbreaking end to a relationship.

Funny thing was, there was always some student from another state, arguing that the 'pizza back home' was so much better. Predictably, the guys were often from Chicago or New York... but one guy was from Cincy and another from Detroit. It wasn't until years later that I learned about Ohio pies and Detroit style pizza. Like religion, politics, and women; the topic of pizza can bring folks together or cause rifts.

I'll leave it up to you to decide which locale has the best pies.

Check out the 21 (and some sites have more) regional pies out there and plan a road trip!
