Coal Fire Pizza- A Non Review

I really love pizza and I have talked about my fondness for the stuff here before.  My strong preference is for thin crust New York style pizza.  In fact it’s fair to say I loathe the Chicago deep dish style.  So a couple of weeks ago while perusing HowChow’s excellent blog (which I have raved about before) I came across [...]

“Pizza Wine”- the Quest Continues

I think I might have found it.  What the heck am I talking about?  Check here for some background.  I picked up a bottle of this upon a recommendation from an Uncle when I was on vacation.  We loved it, but sometimes it’s hard to be totally objective when you’re drinking it with family and friends [...]

Ambience/Décor: 80  The restaurant is nice and [...]

Best Pizza according to Fred

For my money the best pizza in our area is Il Forno.  Located in the Westridge shopping center on Route 40 (1035 W.

Best Pizza?

Pizza- definitely one of my favorite foods.   And it is a source of endless debate, well to be honest argument, in the Fred household.  I am embarrassed to admit that the little Fredlings prefer… Dominos.  There I’ve said it.  This has been the source of endless recriminations and soul searchings for me and Mrs. Fred.  Where did [...]
