Comics and Pizza

billroperI discovered that the bottom shelves of the bookcases in the library were largely empty due to reasons of inaccessibility -- that is, I didn't want to have to bend over that far to find a book -- so I carried the comics into the library and K put them on those low shelves. The dining room table is still a mess, but it is no longer a mess that I hold primary responsibility for. I am going to take this as a victory and move on.
Last week, I saw a Facebook ad for Tortorice's Pizza which included a picture of their deep dish pizza. I looked at that and determined that it looked pretty good. We've been looking for an alternative to Malnati's simply because there is only so much of one kind of pizza that you can eat before you get tired of it. Gretchen prefers pan to stuffed, so Giordano's (which has been slipping lately) was off the list. We tried Rosati's last month and it was, well, ok.
On Saturday, we decided to give Tortorice's a try. It's at Busse and Central, so only a bit farther from home than the Papa John's that I've been going to when we want *cheap* pizza. We got the deep dish pizza with sausage and black olives and it was excellent. It had a solid crust, plenty of mozzarella cheese, and a slightly sweet chunky pizza sauce on top. It was substantially less sweet than D'Agostino's, which Gretchen had proclaimed to be *too* sweet.
Half of the 14 inch pizza was plenty for the two of us (and slightly too much for Gretchen). The other half reheated nicely as tonight's dinner.
We will call this a success. :)
