Pizza. Delicious, cheesy and cheap Pizza.  For such a simple food, there is much debate.
I heard this week that Chicago was voted as the city with the best Pizza.
Then I read on WSJ.com, that New York was #3, behind Providence R.I.!!
My gut instinct is to tell you, this is just wrong. then I thought about it...

Pizza is one of the only foods, that is completely subjective.
What you think is the best, depends on many factors.
Where you grew up, being #1, hands down.

I have friend who grew up in small town Iowa. All he ever knew was Pizza Hut.
I have friend who grew up in Chicago, deep dish is what she was raised on.
I grew up in Brooklyn, I was raised on delicious-ness. (Is that a word?).
Our tastes can become more sophisticated, but we will still love what we grew up with.

I took my friend from Chicago home to Brooklyn one weekend.
I promised her, she would have the best piece of pizza in her life.
She did.
And though she admitted it, she still loves "Aurellios" in Tinely Park.
And I enjoy "Sarpinos" on occasion.

So who is to say any city is #1?
It's what's in your heart. Other pizzas come along, you must accept it.
But you can still always have your favorite.

And what do they always say, "Pizza is like sex, even when it's bad, it's good."
