18. What makes it even worse...

Sun Jan 15, 2012, 12:58 PM

Jan 2012

I grew up in Chicago, where even the worst independent joint was better than anything here--including the two Greek restaurants, which put out very good pizza. At least the Greek pizzas aren't bland like all the others, including the independents, which are the worst, unfortunately. That's why I don't care for them. They do a good job with the crust, but it's like they just dumped a can of tomato sauce on it. Blech. If you HAVE to put half a shaker of chilli peppers on it to make it taste like something, it's not good pizza in my book.
