It's called Amici's, with at least two branches - one in SF and one in San Rafael.<BR/><BR/>Escape from New York pizza for instance is "too bready." See, authentic NY pizza crust is thin, preferably with a slight crispy membrane that melts in your mouth. And the sauce can't just be ordinary pasta sauce. And the cheese had better be high quality mozzarella, laced with parmesan.<BR/><BR/>Don't even get me started on bagels. She likes the "rolls" they serve at Los Bagels, but they aren't "real bagels."Eric V.

My softball team used to frequent there after games. The last few years we hang at Babe's in Cutten. My Basketball team is more into Big Louie's. My wife had a women's softball team that used to go to Tom's Sourdough after the games. Between the ladies playing they had 36 kids! What a mad house! Add the husbands or boy friends and we could about pack a place. It was fun. Robin retired after messing up an ankle playing tennis against me.samoasoftballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244238117702878406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30719375.post-1166037919204236972006-12-13T11:25:00.000-08:002006-12-13T11:25:00.000-08:00Eric wrote, "Fred - even cheaper is to make your o...Eric wrote, "Fred - even cheaper is to make your own. My wife makes up her own dough, and it's not that difficult.".<BR/><BR/>Indeed. The wifey does make pizza, on occasion and it's quite good. Even tastes good the next day, unlike at least one pizza, the brand of which we won't mention any more.<BR/><BR/>Something we just started doing again, and I started doing as a kid, is dressing up frozen pizzas.<BR/><BR/>I've found few good frozen pizzas in my life. When I was a kid, I used to buy a frozen cheese pizza and just add my own toppings.<BR/><BR/>The wife gets some fairly cheap, half way decent, frozen pizzas at Grocery Outlet. Even if they have toppings already, we add stuff like olives, mushrooms and such. Heck, add whatever you like.<BR/><BR/>Makes a frozen pizza much more palatable for me.Fred Mangelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746646487480850444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30719375.post-1166036360244435672006-12-13T10:59:00.000-08:002006-12-13T10:59:00.000-08:00Trivia - the Iranian word for "pizza" translates a...Trivia - the Iranian word for "pizza" translates as "elastic loaf."Eric V.
