Just back from a two week burger and pizza tour, by the 2nd nite home, naturally I was craving a little…….pizza. Perused the freezer in the home ice box, and came up with two I hadn’t tried. Ziyad Brand Middle Eastern Style Gourmet Pizza and White Toque Brand Four Cheese Tart. Both of these were… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – More Frozen Pizzas

Cle Elum, WA – Sahara Pizza
I kind of like pulling into a strange town, middle of nowhere, that I have no idea what the town name means, or how it is even pronounced. Cle Elum is a non-stoplight town (as the mayor proclaims in his ‘welcome’ section of the free newspaper) and was built as a logging town, later coal… Continue reading Cle Elum, WA – Sahara Pizza
Walla Walla, WA – Big Cheese Pizza
After a somewhat frustrating check in at the nearby Super 8 motel, I set out in a mood to comfort myself with some comfort food, and spotted “Big Cheese Pizza.” I pulled in. In trying to find this online review sites later, I had very little success, tho it shares a street address with another… Continue reading Walla Walla, WA – Big Cheese Pizza
Los Angeles, CA – Big Mama’s & Papa’s Pizzeria
Big Mama’s & Papa’s is noted for (an empty claim) of the world’s largest pizza, a 36 incher they sell on their regular menu. Geez, I’d love to go for that, at least for the photo op. But what would I do with it then? Their description says it is cut into 50 slices. Here,… Continue reading Los Angeles, CA – Big Mama’s & Papa’s Pizzeria
Home Cookin’ – Trader Joes Frozen Pizza
Trader Joes, that marvel of a grocer that I have written about before, has come up with another winner with their Pizza Olympiad, two small frozen pies in a box, 15 oz total. with Kalamata olives, feta and mozzarella. The crust and toppings on this sucker are divine, and it bakes up swell, reminiscent of… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Trader Joes Frozen Pizza
Tigard,OR – Pizza Caboose
Pizza preferences are such a personal thing, aren’t they? One man’s cheese eden is another man’s slop. Same with crust, sauce, toppings. I can forgive a lot of deficiencies if the crust and/or toppings are superb. Pizza Caboose, in Tigard, OR, a suburb of Portland, delivers their pizzas in “radio dispatched trucks with ovens”, and… Continue reading Tigard,OR – Pizza Caboose
Duluth, MN – Clyde Iron Works
A hundred years or so in the making, the new restaurant at Clyde Iron Works, 29th Avenue West and Michigan Street, is now open. In the cavernous space of the old iron crane company, in a building that machines came out of that built the Empire State Building, Panama Canal, and logged the forests of… Continue reading Duluth, MN – Clyde Iron Works
Home Cookin’ – Safeway Select Ultra Thin Crust Pizza
Safeway (and Von’s, Randalls, and Tom Thumb Markets) have a number of quality in house branding concepts, among them is the “Select” line of frozen meals. I picked up the “Primo Italian Meat Ultra Thin Crust Pizza”, which includes toppings of capicola, crumbled Italian sausage, and Genoa Salami, covered with a blend of Mozzarella, Parmesan,… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – Safeway Select Ultra Thin Crust Pizza
Superior, WI – Thirsty Pagan Brewpub
Back when I was a sprout, and just discovering alcohol, it was kind enough for Wisconsin to lower the drinking age to 18, and my pals and I merely needed to cross a bridge to imbibe. Along Tower Avenue, the former street of glory in Superior, Wisconsin, there were a number of bars, but most… Continue reading Superior, WI – Thirsty Pagan Brewpub

Mrs BDB was hitting the road witht he gal pals tonight, which, as you know, means BurgerDogBoy gets a food self-indulgence night. Ok, yeah, you’re right, all my nights are pretty much self-indulgent nights. Even tho I had a pot of left over home made bolognese in my icebox, I had a hankering for Italian… Continue reading Portland, OR – New York New York Italian Restaurant
