    I do agree that the Pizza ( at least in the Hamptons ) is some of the best I've had.

    But I can also say that THE BEST pizza that I have had was in St. Petersburg, Russia.

    So what the fuck could I possibly know?

Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    If I'm being honest, the best pizza I ever had was in Brooklyn and it's not even close.

    NYC is too big and busy for me. After they closed CBGB's, there was less and less of a reason for me to go there. If I didn't have friends that lived in Park Slope (ugh, just no) I wouldn't have been to NYC in the past 10 years.

    My good ex-wife was from Brooklyn, although she spent he late teens in East Hampton. She told me that "New York" had the best pizza. Of course I did not want to believe this. But now I concede that she was probably right. The best pizza I had was in a small pizza shop across the street from a slot car raceway I used to go to in Southampton.

    I never made it to CBGBs but wish I had.

    J&V in Bensonurst

    For square slices (i.e. Sicilian, grandma), I have to say that there's a place in RI that's better than L&B Spumoni Gardens or other Brooklyn joints (everyone in RI just wishes they were from Brooklyn though).

    It would be hard to find bad pizza in Bensonhurst.

    I've had bad pizza in the North End. I never had bad pizza in Brooklyn.

    I have not sampled fare in the North End in quite a while.

    However, for the most part, what I have sampled has been over rated. Particularly the pastry.

    I know of Italian everything that I can source in other places and be happier. Just sayin'.

    Postponed due to... wait for it... cold. Only baseball. "We can't play, it's too cold!". I can only imagine what George Carlin would have said!
