I haven't had a decent slice of pizza since I moved away from NYC 3 years and 10 months ago (except, of course, for when I've visited NYC since then). I'm sorry, but Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Dominos is to pizza what Taco Bell is to Mexican Food.
I had to call and apologize to a co-worker today because I gave him a lot of crap a few months back when he was telling me that the pizza place in my town's little mall was amazing pizza and that he's never had better. I'm not sure what made me decide to give it a try today, but I did and I'll be damned if it wasn't AMAZING! Not just good for being in a little town or good compared to what I've seen passed off as pizza over the last few years, but just freakin' good!
Tim and Angel...I thought you might also appreciate that as I left the pizza place in the mall and walked to the exit I noticed a "Chinese massage" deal set up in the middle of the atrium. $12 for 12 minutes. I just started laughing and realized there was another story I probably could have included in my 8 random things. Oh, that and throwing out my back doing a Michael Jackson crotchgrablegkickspinmove walking down 168th St.
Uh...I guess this will be updates about Jason.

I'm incredibly skeptical of this pizza place's quality. Perhaps your taste buds have been harmed by the close proximity to fire -- it has been nearly a year since you had a New York slice. Ah man, now I'm craving Alba's pizza and garlic knots... guess I'm making a trip out to Astoria this afternoon.
You and your lovely wife will just have to make a trip down to try it!
Incredibly skeptical? Your wife just told me today that you are still ordering Papa John's (while living in NYC!!!). And you are skeptical of my claim that pizza tastes good?
Being a pizza connoisseur demands maintaining ones palate across all areas of the pizza spectrum. Besides, their garlic butter is liquid gold!
Don't knock Papa John's. They used to make a great pizza every Monday in Cincinnati, and I'm sure they still do.
Oh yeah, Monday Night Pizza Night! Yet another reason to enjoy the Papa... nostaglia. Thanks for the reminder, Robert, those were good times.
You know, I used to think Papa John's was hot shit too before I moved to NYC and found out what good pizza was.
