The beginning of my love for all things pizza

I was recently reminded about the origins of my pizza obsession by a beloved girlfriend from my high school days. Thank you, Priscilla.
We both adored 'Sir Pizza'. This pizza was our first taste of many pizzas to come. http://www.sirpizzaky.com/ Here is the link to my first, favorite pizza. It is located in Lexington, Ky., three doors away from my first retail job at Pix Sample Shoes. I remember their slices of pizza being crusty, salty, and having the perfect amount of shredded, melted mozzarella on the top.
I'd love to return to Sir Pizza to see if today's taste of this pizza is as wonderful as the memory captured by my youthful taste buds.

New York City's oldest pizza oven

This is NYC's oldest pizza oven. Lombardi Pizza is located on Spring St in Little Italy.

The one time I visited Lombardi, I found the pizza a bit soggy. There was too much cheese on top of my pizza. They do use fresh mozzarella, which I adore.
But the moisture from the cheese made the crust wilt too much for my taste.

One of my favorite NYC pizzas is John's

John's Pizza on Bleeker Street is one of my favorite NYC pizzas because I love brick oven pizza. John's Pizza has one of the oldest pizza ovens in NYC.
The balance of sauce to cheese is perfect with just a sprinkle of italian spices on the top. In this picture I am eating a slice of pepperoni pizza. They slice their pepperoni thinly so that the bite is nice and tender.

Pizza Antica

This delicious pizza is served at Pizza Antica at the Santa Monica Place. We were first there in October 2010. We liked it so much that we have been back on two other occasions.

Home Made Pizza

This is my home made pizza. I used OO flour that I carried home from Bolonga, Italy.
I also used sun dried tomatoes packed in oil by a good friend, Carina Round.
