and speaking of pizza, i should note our little pre-show jaunt...
tim had heard of a pizza place in NY that was supposedly better than sally\'s.. but he didn\'t know the name of it - only knew that it was supposedly right over the brooklyn bridge..
so tim, alex, adam, and i decided to venture off into the rain, grab a cab, and try to find this place...
our cab driver was a nervous wreck because we didn\'t know where the place was.. but we stopped and asked a group of people, and they knew exactly where we were talking about.. though we still got lost after that.
so we arrive at the place (Grimaldi\'s), and there\'s a huge Sally\'s-esque line out the door and down the block, and there\'s no way we have time to wait in it.. plus it\'s raining.. ugh...
tim ran in to see how long the wait was for takeout - 10 minutes!! :lol: so we ordered a large onion & ********, and ate it right outside the place under the awning!
it was good. actually, it was prolly the best NY pie i\'ve had to date (though i haven\'t had much). better than lombardi\'s... however, it doesn\'t touch a proverbial hair on sally\'s ass...
the mozz was fantastic. very fresh and white... sort of placed on top of everything else. looked almost like ricotta.. sauce was decent.. a little watery.. dough was good. vegetables were really good, kinda gourmet style... finely diced, etc...
expensive! $19.xx for a large... add in $10 each way for the cab, and you\'ve got a $40 pie - $5 a slice! oof.. i\'m glad i had it, and it was good, but it wasn\'t that good..
still in the hunt for someone to come close to sally\'s... hopefully our little tourney will give sally\'s a little competition... we shall see..
