@dagney I tend to agree, it is hard for anything to live up to the food you ate in your youth, especially when it comes to “comfort foods”

@sms funny you say that, I toyed with leaving out the M&O reference because I order my pizza light on the oil and I was sure many people would disagree with it, but it is the closest I have found to my beloved NY style pizza. And everyone is entitled to their own pinion, but I lived in New Haven for ten months, and I was not a fan of the pizza, the crust was too thin for my taste… But Gourmet Heaven knew how to make a great sandwich, AND black/white cookie!

I stopped taking this article serious as soon as he referred to Manny and Olga’s as a solid pizza. Also, everyone knows New Haven has far better pizza than New York.

In my own search for the ‘perfect _____’, a wise person once told me that it is ALWAYS the food you’ve eaten in your youth that sets the standards. In my case, I grew up in Los Angeles, & my favorite pizza places were 2 Guys From Italy (for everything-on-it pizza), Caioti (for boutique California Pizza Kitchen gourmet pizza) & Micelli’s (where the Beatles ate their 1st pizza) for Clam & Garlic Pizza.

I left LA 20 years ago. I’ve lived in New Mexico, Colorado, Europe, Baja California & DC since then, & I’ve never found pizza to equal those I ate in LA. Go figure!
