Yesterday was National Pizza Day! How did I not know that since pizza is one of my favorite foods. I love pizza in all forms from the typical Brooklyn-style pizza to thick Sicilian pie and even the thin crust pizza that’s so popular along my neck of the Jersey Shore. My favorite toppings? Onion and mushroom! How about you? What’s your fave kind of pizza and topping? By the way, if you’re ever in Monmouth County, don’t miss Vic’s in Bradley Beach for their fabulous thin crust pie. Delorenzo’s in Robbinesville also makes a great thin crust pie. All around the best pizza ever: Pete’s in the Columbus Farmer’s Market in Columbus. Even my Brooklyn-born and bred hubby says it’s the best he’s ever had. Pete’s calls their pizzas “tomato pie” and so does Vic’s, but the two pies couldn’t be more different. What’s a tomato pie? Well, some say it’s because the cheese goes first and then the sauce. I think that it’s because tomato pies originally started in local bakeries and not your typical pizzeria. I also find that the term tomato pie seems to be more prevalent in South Jersey and Philly than in other areas.
