OT: CBS-TOP 10 PIZZA RESTAURANTS IN AMERICA

[vtcwbuff]

Funny- my daughter is getting married in Hilton Head in June. When my wife went there to see venue, and visited Savannah- that was it- Blufton was it. I' havn't been down there yet, but i'm sure I'll love it! I'm a fly fisherman- but I know it's a golfer's paradise!

I was primarily a fly fisherman when I moved to Charleston the first time. I had lots of fun fly fishing for bluegill for a while but I ended up catching the redneck bass fishing bug. I did make a couple of trips to the Smokies in the western part of the state for some surprisingly good stream fishing. Google South Carolina trout fishing.

I don't know if I would call the coastal area around Hilton Head a fishing paradise but there is some very good tidewater fishing for drum, redfish and weakfish. I also caught a ton of freshwater and saltwater stripers there. The Cooper River was full of them in the winter. Santee-Cooper Lakes are known as the birthplace of the freshwater striper.

I haven't fished the area in almost 30 years, but if you love fishing I'm sure you'll finds lots to occupy your spare time.

Gotta agree on Mystic Pizza; also did it once…just once.

I lived around the corner, about 350 yards, from Mystic Pizza, for 22 years. Before the movie, Mystic Pizza was a simple, hole-in-the-wall joint, and was the site of many a Friday night dinner for me and my young family. Walk down the street, grab a booth by the window, me and the missus split a pie and a pitcher of Stroh's, the two kiddos get a couple of items from the children's menu - good times. Put two dollars worth of quarters in the juke box, cut up the chicken tenders for the older daughter, take off the shirt of the younger one (she's two, and has ordered "kid's spaghetti": there's going to be tomato sauce from nose to navel). Very good times.

Of course, once the movie hit, Mystic Pizza became a brand and a destination, instead of a decent, very friendly neighborhood hangout. Ah, well.

The Pepe's in Manchester is quite good in my book. As is the New Haven anchor.

Speaking if New Haven, that town has five very solid places: Pepe's, Sally's, modern, Bar at Bru Room, Zinc pizza kitchen (also a good restaurant qua restaurant).

I couldn't get the feature, but Grimaldi's in Brooklyn was oft-fetishized in its own right.

Thanks for that info VT!!! I too am a total civil war buff---maybe not as much as you- but consider myself one also!

Heard the same thing about Grimaldi's- is that the one right near or next to the bridge- if so my buddy in our UC group is trying to organize a trip there and then walk the bridge after-
