Basil’s Pizza Review – Northfield, MN
Basil’s Pizza Review I hate thinking about anything that I learned about “FIFTY YEARS AGO,” but here we are again, at Basil’s Pizza in Northfield, MN, our go-to pizza as students at St Olaf College. Back then, it was called “Bill’s Pizza.” My fellow students and I kept Bill’s busy, as did our rival college […]

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 […]

Cheap Kid Meals
The personal pizza for about a buck. Inexpensive kid’s lunch of snack, or add a salad, and you have about a six dollar dinner for a family of four. Here’s the key. Shop at Dollar Tree. I bought four ingredients, crusts, sauce, cheese and pepperoni, for a total of $4.00. I used one crust (they come in two […]

Frozen Pie Smackdown – Home Run Inn vs Reggio’s
Years ago, when I lived in Chicago, Home Run Inn or Reggio’s was my choice of frozen pizzas. Which one I picked up just depended on what the store I was visiting, was carrying. I always considered them equals, and among the best of the best in frozen pies. The taste and appearance are similar, […]

Van Nuys, CA – Lido Pizza
Some little known facts about Mrs. Burgerdogboy: she was raised by gypsies in the San Fernando Valley; because her family were travelers, there was no pizza place that could deliver, and, when G’ma wasn’t baking up mounds of from scratch Neapolitan style pizzas, Lido Pizza in Van Nuys was the family’s preferred provider. Long story […]

Renton, WA – Vince’s Italian Kitchen
I’ve had awfully “good luck” ordering from d-dish.com in Portland, one of those restaurant home delivery marketing companies. Delivered Dish signs up restaurants, supplies back end ordering/menu software, and arranges delivery of restaurant menu items direct to your house for a small fee.

Twilight Pizza Bistro Review
I’m not a very disciplined writer. Well, I’m not very disciplined at anything, actually. Point being, when I set out to have an experience, and subsequently write it up, I don’t have a structure or point in mind ahead of time. I write about what moves me (or doesn’t) at the time of the experience. […]

Your Last Meal Request?
Green Chile Cheeseburger, Bobcat Bite, Santa Fe (Short link to full story for mobile readers) From time to time, someone writes an article about “oddball” last meal requests by condemned prisoners. It was in the news again recently because Texas has now banned last meal requests – unless it is something normally offered or fixed […]

Portland, OR – Sub Rosa
Mrs. Burgerdogboy has taken to grabbing up Groupon and Living Social deals she thinks would amuse me, and I’m grateful for her thoughtfulness, as well as the opportunity to try new places. Last nite, we hit “Sub Rosa“, a small neighborhood Italian joint over on SE Clinton. This worked out great, as she had another […]
