You old sweet-talker, you. I sure am compelled to make suggestions for you to snark about now!

It's not his fault. Every single person from the rust belt (yours truly included) is convinced that there's no such thing as good pizza on the west coast. I'm sure Seattle is better than LA. Nothing could be worse than LA.

I found killer pizza in San Jose. Of course it's called "Slice of New York" ...fucking appropriation.

I like those slices in DC that are as big as your torso. Is that just a DC thing?

It's a thing on Sicily. I ordered a large pizza and got something that was a bit over a meter in diameter.

Best family vacation ever.

That sounds positively magical.

Not at all a DC thing. It's a Northeast/Rust Belt thing, though, for sure.

Kinda like how new Yorkers assert that bagels made without the right species of pigeon shit in the water just don't taste right?

I grew up in New Mexico. So did my uncle, 30 years before me. We have diametrically opposed opinions as to what constitutes "good" Mexican food.

Well the pigeons' primary food source is decaying rats, who have in turn fed on decaying garbage. You can't replicate that in a lab, dude.

So long as we can agree that "things that are good" and "things that we like" are independent variables, I give no fucks as to how people like their pizza.
