    And in a list of the 100 best pizzas, only two are in Chicago?

    I see some selection bias there.

      I've had pizza in Northern Italy. It was like a different food, and in a good way.

      I was only joking

        As you know, I dislike traveling and don't consider it an accomplishment, so I haven't been very many places. But I have been to NY. I competed there as a collegiate athlete.

          I was on the rowing team my freshman year and took an east coast trip to compete against Navy at Annapolis, and also had a race at Syracuse.

            @Horace that is very cool Horace! I have a rowing machine that I use, concept 2, and I see some of the times that people do, and realize what good athletes they are!

                Yep. I am not naturally gifted in endurance sports so it all hurt pretty badly.

                Legend had it that it is possible to push oneself too hard and increase risk of dying early of a heart attack. Someone told us that it happened a lot to Japanese rowers. We all shrugged it off. Then the guy who pushed himself hardest on the whole team, part of my own freshman class, who ended up on the USA national team, died at 38, of a heart attack. I wrote a post about him at the old board.

                    There was a lot of that on the team. Rich kids from east coast private high schools with rowing teams. But I was a second class rower who'd never picked up an oar until I got recruited for the team out of the freshman orientation lines. They were looking for extraordinarily good looking people.

                          I don't care much for either east coast or Chicago pizza. Neapolitan and Detroit (Sicilian) style for me.

                              Never had it. Is it any good?

                              Also, you should try Salerno's. They're not far from you and they deliver. That's our go-to.

                                Frozen Cali Pizza Kitchen is pretty good. Certainly better than your average frozen pizza.

                                    HRI is pretty good too. Better? CPK has more interesting flavors.

                                        These are far better than the old grocery store type mixes. Get some sauce, cheese, and any other toppings ready. Your kitchen just became your neighborhood pizza joint.

                                        I just had a box of various King Arthur mixes sent to my kiddo. Since we took my old Kitchen-Aid mixer to her in June, she's much more comfortable doing this kind of thing now. She thought the shipment would only have things like mixes for scones, brownies, and gingerbread. The pizza crust mixes were not expected, and she's pretty stoked to use them.

                                        Mom's still got a few tricks up her sleeve to surprise the kiddo.
