Ah for the love of pizza...

Last night, I hit Artscape - the majority of the thing was a bust (missed Arlene, got stuck in parking, had a friend with who didn't like crowds - nor did I really...if I'm honest)...the evening seemed to be in the gutterbox...but then, we decided to go to JoeSquared2 pizza in North Arts District.

Once we emerged from parking hell...it became an oasis of sorts - filled with fun people, interesting live music - but the highlight - was the pizza.

Kids - this is not your Momma's Pizza hut.

This is serious pizza.

Grown up, hit you in the face, slap your taste buds around you in a good way pizza.

My opinion of perfect pizza - is simplicity - great crust, good sauce, great cheese, quality pepperoni and a judicious sprinkling of good quality anchovies. This delivered.

Check it out if you're in the Bawlmer area (click here)- and I will follow up later with a longer post on tips for the best pizza at home :)

Food and Kisses,
