As you all heard on the tube, Florida is getting drenched by Tropical Storm Debbie, causing a great deal of rain and flooding to many areas. This storm started here in Central Florida on Sunday, making the balance of the weekend a washout. I found myself napping, bored and trying to find something to watch on the boob tube of interest. Finally a show caught my eye called “UNIQUE PIZZA’S.” Being a lover of the original Trenton Tomato Pies I had to watch this special and see exactly what is unique. Some of the pizza’s that were made looked good and some I don’t know where the people came up with the idea that it’s a pizza. Here we go with some of the toppings that were used:
Pizza topped with crushed cooked potatoes and corn and ham. Put in on a dinner plate and eat it not on pizza dough.
A Cheese Head Pizza made with just olive oil and cheddar cheese let me guess it’s for you Packer fans.
If you like clams there was a great looking pie from the New England area, think the place was called Frank Pepe’s.
Macaroni and Cheese Pizza, Roe said she would like to try it; after all she is a Mac and Cheese nut. For me it’s a thumbs down like a gladiator marked for death in the arena.
Fruit and Ham Pizza – Must be a West Coast thing.
BBQ Chicken Pizza – Some like it, I don’t, chicken belongs on a plate or at a picnic.
And now for the “OFFICIAL JOEY Z PIZZA TOPPING LIST.” Only these toppings should ever be allowed on pizzas. PEPPERONI, SAUSAGE, PEPPERS, ONIONS, ANCHOVIES AND FRESH GARLIC. I have said my piece and await the responses of my adversaries.

These new "shopping center" places that call themselves Italian Restaurante .. went on a binge a few years ago. The all time low was the hot dog and french fry "special".

Well Joe, about 20 years ago I took Mom on her dream vacation to Switzerland and we found ourselves in the southern and very, very Italian region. Mom was a picky Polish gal and getting food in her was a challenge but she did love pizza so in we went. They spoke no English and I don't speak a word of Italian. What came of this was (phonetic) .... "eh-speciall" which I suppose was the "house special" that night. When they arrived, well, they each had in the middle of a regular old pie, a raw egg still quite runny. At first I thought they were taking "sport" with the "Americano" but glancing around other tables had the same thing. I managed to use good lab technique and removed the eggs to a napkin that ended up in the mens room can. Aside from that, it was pretty good. Unique but quite good indeed and who am I, a nice Polish kid to question a real Italian about what is or what isn't pizza? :)
