Pizza again--one may ask for, wow. Once again, I feel like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, maybe Donatello, waiting in the subway to come out at night to fight crime. But I always have to sit down, be patient, and get my first bite of pizza during the day so I have enough fuel to fight through the night.
As the sun began to set along the horizon of the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks, I found myself at Italian Pizza & Delight. I must say, I was delighted to pull into the parking lot because it brought back so many memories of going there with one of my first girlfriends and first loves--I'm just going to call her RJ. As kids, we used to go to high school events and then stop to get pizza and, of course, a cold Italian sub. But this time, I wasn't there for the sub. I was there for a regular cheese pizza.
Of course, I asked for it well done. Let me tell you, if you've never asked for your pizza well done, you should start. I challenge you to eat it with a fork and knife--I swear it does some type of magic. With the heart of New York City in my blood, soul, sweat, and tears, maybe that's why I'm so used to the hustle and bustle, always eager to ride my bike around whenever there's no weight holding down my ankles.
But let me get into this pizza. It was definitely cooked just a little below the well-done mark. However, I was still satisfied by the taste of the sauce, and the cheese was good. It's all about how it settles, and while it settled pretty well, it made me feel a bit fat, sluggish, and slow. I guess it did its job, though other pizzas I've had in the past always gave me more energy. I like pizza that gives me energy like Pac-Man eating those little monsters.
The crust was pretty good, I must say. Overall, the pizza was a bit bland and I've definitely had better, but the size of the pie was big, just like a New York-style pizza. Though the sauce was bland, the nostalgia of being back there with memories of my first love, RJ, definitely made up for it. Maybe next time I want to think of her, I'll just pull right into that parking lot.
