Yes, but that was only this one time (hopefully). Given the current exchange rate for the US dollar abroad, I’ve been paying $60 a slice here in Europe every day!

I miss pizza in America. but I do have to say, pizza here, different as it is, is really good. And the price, not too bad. One whole medium pizza is about $8.

OMG, poor Dave, I mean literally, poor Dave.

I want to lick my monitor that slice looks so good.  I guess it doesn’t help that it’s 6 AM and I haven’t had any breakfast.

And I would so have pizza for breakfast.

Have you ever had breakfast pizza?  Now that’s what I’m talking about!

Dave2- Well no one told you to buy New York pizza from Europeans!  I bet the porridge over there is about $3 a bowl though.

Da Duck- Do they use goat cheese over there?

Lisa- I’m all for pizza for breakfast… but unfortunately Famiglia doesn’t open until 11:00am.

I had pizza in Italy and it was the most UNpizza like meal I’d ever eaten.  Not the same sauce.  Not the same cheese.  The crust was uber thin.

I’m inclined to believe someone else invented the Pizza.

Someone else may have invented it… but it was the Italian-New Yorkers who made it famous!!!

There’s no interdepartmental courtesy?

I paid $60 for a hamburger in LA once.  It was made of Kobe beef, though.

The Traffic Agents are part of NYPD now, and there generally is courtesy, but when it comes to the end of the month… they’ll tag anything to make quota.  The tickets get wiped eventually… but its still the point.

I could see paying $60 for a Kobe Beef burger… I just hope it comes with fries and cole slaw included.

I think it was a la carte.

Well considering I think a steak of Kobe is something like $250… it was probably still a steal.  Any beef that is raised and bred on a diet of sake is my kind of beef… since it saves me on the bar tab.

Hey, that reminds me.  Have you ever eaten at/heard of Ninja New York?

Mmmm… actually no.  Never even heard of it.  Then again, if its called Ninja New York, maybe that’s the point.

It’s probably the only thing that could get me to visit your fair city.  It’s supposed to be a pretty cool dining experience!

I’ll fall on the sword and scout it out for ya!

You’d probably have fun.  I think it’s a bit on the expensive side, though.

The prices actually don’t look that bad considering they are all inclusive courses.  Kind of like One if by Land, Two if by Sea which is $200 a head… even if you only eat a salad.

Yeah, the experience is supposedly worth the cost.  If you do go, you’ll have to try to document it with photos!

Yeah, definitely… unless they ninja my camera.  Its downtown, so I can just swing by today to see what the deal is with reservations and their deal on cameras.

Mexicans make the best pizza?!  I’ve never, ever heard that.  Now I want Mexican pizza.  Damn you for making me crave pizza even though I JUST HAD IT LAST NIGHT FOR DINNER.  But it was Chicago style.

Mmmmmmm, garlic knots…

That pizza totally looks worth $60.50.  Just sayin’.  Can you send me some of that as one of the war bombs?  I promise to send you some of that maple kissed bacon if you do.


comment by Poppy  on  01/31  at  10:36 AM

They ticketed your rig??? Really?
That truly sucks!


comment by metalmom  on  01/31  at  11:00 AM

depends on the pizza. But lamb, onion and garlic sauce is REALLY REALLY good!


comment by DaDuck  on  01/31  at  11:03 AM

I swear, they all use the same damned color plates.  I have eaten a lot of pizza in NYC, and they all must get those plates from the same manufacturer.  Now I don’t know if I have eaten there or not…

Unless you can tell me what the guys behind the counter look like, or what their dicks look like.

Ask and see if any of them have small red bumps on their penis that kinda ooze.  They give great lubrication, and the bumps make for a very exciting eat and take out.

ZOMG ABS, EW!  I AM EATING LUNCH.  STOP!

(ok, ok, so I could just not read comment emails during lunch, but who knew this post would generate an EW comment?!?!?!?)


comment by Poppy  on  01/31  at  01:02 PM

Hey, poppy, if you can’t handle jizz on pizza, how can I help that?  You gotta tell me these things before I post them!

AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! NO. LONGER. HUNGRY.!!!!!

OK, I thought I was “city savvy” but a parking ticket in NYC is $115 bucks?!!
Holy shit, no wonder people take cabs!!!


comment by annie  on  01/31  at  01:38 PM

Holy Cow! That slice had better been worth every cent!

Poppy- In the kitchen of Ray’s, Goodfellas, and of course Domino’s… Mexicans are cooking the pizza… not Italians.  If the Immigration thing ever happens… we may be in trouble in pizzerias across the metropolitan area

Metalmom- Its actually not a rig… its a marked 2008 Escape… but its pretty much the same thing

DaDuck- You lost me at lamb… and considering I used to put all sorts of shit on my slices in college… that’s a big loss.

Absurdist- I’m an EMT… not a proctologist.  Besides… a little penicillin goes a long way.

Annie- Well… when your mayor is a billionaire… shit just keeps going up…

DutchBitch- Mmmmm… yeah.  It was.
