Due to an anticipated major shift in the demographics of school aged children, the city of Duluth, MN went through a significant reorganization of the public schools several years ago, closing some, modernizing some, and repurposing others. Part of this plan was demolishing one of the two junior high schools (grades 7-9) in the eastern… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Tavern on the Hill Review

Barrington, IL – Sergios Pizza Review
Some years ago, we relocated from Los Angeles to this Norman Rockwellian idyllic Chicago suburb. It was for our daughter’s benefit, we wanted her to have a great education in a safe environment, and grow up with midwestern values. For the most part, it was a successful move. At the time, after local exploration, (and… Continue reading Barrington, IL – Sergios Pizza Review
Pizza Sizes Keep Growing!
Pizza Sizes Keeping Pace Or Causing American Waistline Growth?? Back in my day, there were two sizes of pies at most pizzerias, small and large, and due to commonly available industry tools, they were 12” and 14” in diameter, respectively.

Luigis Frozen Pizza Review
I wrote about this brand previously, which may or may not have been born out of a Wisconsin tavern.

Pastorelli Pizza Sauce Review
Tried out a new pre-made pizza sauce last night, from Chicago pizza supplies and food supplier, Pastorelli, who have been around for a million years or so. In addition to pizza sauce, they have a number of consumer products including tomato derivatives, olive oils, and pre-made crusts, which I tried previously. The past few years,… Continue reading Pastorelli Pizza Sauce Review
Reggios Pizza Review
I’m reluctant to try almost any freezer pizza that says it can be microwaved. Just never works out, in my opinion. But Reggio’s is one of my favorite frozen brands, and the individual sized were on an endcap and on sale, so I thought I’d give one a whirl. I’ve tried the size before,… Continue reading Reggios Pizza Review

Despite the massive publicity Chicago pizza received courtesy of… Continue reading Frozen Edwardos Natural Pizza Review
Pizza Knot Recipe, Tailgating Favorite
PIZZA KNOTS FOR TAILGATING PARTIES I got a crazy itch this past weekend to try and make garlic knots for the first time. But I didn’t really feel like spending all weekend at it – when I usually make scratch bread or pizza dough, it’s a two day process. So I went with the old reliable… Continue reading Pizza Knot Recipe, Tailgating Favorite
