Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 5033687, member: 181"] Your post is self-proving, given that you've made half the argument you've claimed. I'll complete things by arguing the opposite. I ate Sally's for 40 years before I tried the plain tomato pie, probably because it was among many different pies being offered at a screening of "Pizza: A Love Story." I instantly went from finding it conceptually unfathomable to loving it. Every time. Plain cheese (except for fresh, especially out of East Harlem Patsy's coal oven) hasn't held any great appeal for me since I was a kid, such that eliminating the cheese is quite the improvement, even though low moisture mootz is great with all kinds of well-chosen toppings on a red pie. None of the above is in the, "You're wrong, and I'm right" vein. I like my choice. You like yours. I also like your fondness for Litchfield County's offerings, including the Torrington stuff a few posts up from this. All I've had is Berkshire, which has its place. And, fwiw, the couple times I went to Domenick & Pia's (yes, Waterbury is NH County), its exalted status has eluded me. It puts me in mind of a few well regarded slice places in NYC (Joe's among them) that also fall short of special...for me. [/QUOTE]
