Eat the damn crust... it's the best part! Okay, maybe not THE best, but it's pretty damn good and deserves to be enjoyed!!
And those chain places don't have ANYTHING on NY/NJ-style pizza. I've tried them and I can tolerate them, but if I'm seriously gonna have pizza, it better be some NY-quality shit! 2 weeks before prep started we finally tried out this pizzeria up the block (mainly because we were having a blizzard and they were the ONLY place open!!) and I swear I died that night... I was anything but a lady... oil dripping down my hands as I took bite after bite into the thick, sicilian crust. OMG, I have to go there when my shows are done. That's pizza WORTH having!
