17. Man I feel for ya

Access to a good pizza delivery joint should be an unalienable right.

I have had the "new and improved" Dominos and I wasn't impressed (but I will admit to an incredible bias against them to begin with so it may just be that nothing they could do would make me happy)

It really sucks that the independent in your area doesn't do it right. I got INCREDIBLY lucky when a place opened up down the street from my house. We live in an area that is serviced by Pizza Hut and a couple other local independents but I was never excited by the local indies and refused to call PH...and then this place called Bronx pizza took over an abandoned storefront and started papering the neighborhood with flyers and coupons and I KNEW I had found a friend when I called for delivery and the guy on the phone says "Tanks fa callin', whatchooz want on ya pie?"

We also have fun making our own (and did so a lot more before Bronx moved in lol)...our local grocery store makes raw pizza dough in their bakery and it's really good but I am still looking for a good sauce recipe...I've tried several of the jarred ones but they are usually too bland or too sweet and I'm not much of a cook to make sauce from scratch but I'm willing to try.

(In my youth I delivered pizza for several chains including Dominos and some locals and sometimes when deliveries were slow I worked on the line so I can assemble a pizza like a champ but I just don't get the hang of creating sauce that works).
