I have. The pizza is nothing to write home about. Chicago does their thing
with all that "deep crust", baked in a pie pan stuff, which is fine if you
like a lot of bread, but it's not really "pizza", it's more like "tomato pie"
that Italian grandmoms used to make on Friday nights w/ the fresh tomatoes
from the garden baked over top of a thick dough with nothing more than fresh
basil and a little salt. You needed thick dough for that to sop up all the
juice from the fresh tomatoes. (It was a traditional Friday thing because you
couldn't eat meat on Friday and little children have a tendency to hate fish
especially the way Italian grandmoms made it...it takes a while to learn to
like salt cod and squid...<G>, so a big pan of tomato pie was just the ticket
to
fill empty bellies.) I've been to California too, and for my money, the best
"pizza" comes from the authentic old-time hand built stone pizza ovens in
New York and South Philly. IMO, if you don't have the oven, the crust just
isn't the same and there aren't a lot of these ovens left:) Also, for my
money,
the best bastardization of pizza is something the French do called
Pissaladiere, which is paper thin crust baked directly on the stones of a hot
bread
oven with nothing more than thinly sliced onions, a little garlic, the best
olive oil a few anchovy fillets, some nicoise olives with freshly ground black
pepper. (No cheese because of the salt in the anchovies.) So good, the dogs
don't get the crust!
