Oh yes! Chapter 2 is a delight. Most of their ire is directed at New Haven, but Old Forge is in for a drubbing as well. I’m just finishing up that chapter now, it’s a lot of fun.

Old Forge is vile.  Provel...yuck.

 

I cannot address New Haven.  It looks nice.

 

What's their take on Chicago casserole pizza?

I’ve had quite good pizza in New Haven.

 

Ironically, the place we like is called Modern Apizza.

 

This doesn't look all that bad, does it?

Yeah - show me an expansion of a small, single operator place actually as good as the OG...I think there's also one in the Mohegan Sun Casino.

Quoth MB:

”Of all the pizzas we tried in New Haven, we liked Modern’s plain and mozzarella pies the best.”

 

…so maybe not a full throated endorsement, but not so far off.

Just finished chapter 2... Nice to see some hard hitting truth about some long held high and mightily places.  I watched a video on some of these high and mighty pizza places not long ago and though to myself that doesn't look that good.    We don't like pizza at most locally places since we discovered the take 2 days to make the dough from ATK years ago and reading that some places don't salt their dough is just !@#!#!.

They enjoyed the flavor combination of that white clam pizza, but resented the underseasoned and overbaked crust. They've actually included a recipe for their take on the white clam pie in the books (I probably won't make that one, the other pizza eater in the house doesn't care for mollusks).

Wow, I notice Modernist Pizza is currently out of stock on amazon.  Must be nice to legally print money.
