Better racism, less pizza, Papa Johns

    One advantage of living in the Northeast is that one need never eat chain pizza.

    The downside to living in California is there are very few nonchain pizza joints that are quality or are there at all. The best I can hope for in my area is a minor chain. It is actually good, but a chain. Papa John's is straight trash. I'll go Little Caesar's or Pizza Hut before that place. Still I've seen people have a straight face when they've talked about needing to open one in their area. I don't get the allure.

    NotCal has plenty near me. In fact I’m sitting in a deep dish place right now, great place called Zachary’s Pizza.

    Weak. My area of NorCal is lacking unless I want to schlep to San Jose but none of the places are 45-minute drive on a whim good.

    Melo's Pizza in Pleasant Hill was amazingly good back when. Either Pietro's in Vacaville is authentic, too. Places like Martinez (with a large Italian immigrant population) usually have excellent Italian restaurants. But then there's Round Table.

    Not true if you live in New England other than Hartford or New Haven. Massachusetts Greek-style pizza is trash. Avoid anyplace called Nick's, Greg's or Theo's House of Pizza like the plague. Makes Domino's seem delicious by comparison.

    A branch of Frank Pepe's opened in the mall about a five minute drive from my house. Not as good as the original, but still better than pretty good.

    So many reasons to shun Papa John's. Trumpist Pizza. Supporter of University-6. Expletive him and his product.

    Eh, I never thought he was eating 40 whole pizzas in 30 days. That'd be pretty sick.

    From the story:

    “I didn’t say I’d eaten 40 pizzas in 30 days, I said that I had 40 pizzas in 30 days,” he told hosts Ethan and Hila Klein.

    This is, in fact, true, he insists.

    “When I said I had a pizza, this means I’m inspecting,” continued Schnatter. “I’m not eating every pizza, I may be eating parts of pizzas.”

    The disgraced former leader says he currently only eats about eight or nine slices a week, though when he was still with his company, he was eating closer to 12 or 15. This means at most he was eating only 1½ pizzas per week, or six a month, which is far from 40.

    C'mon, New York Post.
