Why? Because NY and KC are mainly populated by Sicilians (like myself). The food in Sicily is completely different than the food in Italy, especially Rome. In Sicily, you'll find the meat balls, sausage, ricotta cheese, arancini's and veal as staple foods. In Roma & Tuscany, it's more prosciutto on very thin cracker-like bread, more olive oil and light creme pastas, etc. Cal-cuisine, especially Italian Cal-cuisine, is based on Northern Italian cooking. It was very difficult to get used to but I "get it" now. But I still prefer Sicilian food, although there are no Mom & Pop places around here that know how to cook the food correctly. I haven't found a single place in LA, and I've tried them all, that knows how to make Italian sausage even half as well as Scimeca's or Mendolia's. I found a place in the SF Bay area that makes "acceptable" Italian sausage called Podesto's, but we rarely make it up there these days. The only even decent Sicilian restaurants are both chains: Buca De Pepo and Maggiano's. Neither hold a candle to places in KC like Garozzo's. |

I never went to Minski's Nub-Tard Pizza, so I couldn't say. Bitch.

Okay - Next Door Pizza in the New Longview area of Lee's Summit should be in any discussion about KC area pizza. Delicious Chicago style. Screw you Pizzeria Uno.

I buy all my Powerball tickets at the Red X because it looks like the type of place that would produce a lotter winner. Well I was in there in '05 buying a Powerball ticket and saw the biggest pancake titty I've ever seen. This braless Riversider had a pair that looked like something Adam Richman might take on in a food challenge. Man vs. Titty. My wife still tells the story, we were both blown away.

I am intimate with Chicago style pizza. I want to know Phobia's estimation and reasons for forming said estimation of Next Door's quality of crust.
