La Rosa Pizza

[pinback]

Just took a weekend trip to Cincinnati!

I think I was meant to live in Cincinnati.

It features:

1. A version of "chili" which is often voted the worst food in the country but which makes my top ten list of all time yummies.

2. A pizza called "La Rosa's".

I had never heard of it.

You can't find it anywhere else.

Everyone reading this would probably hate it.

Kathy swore by it, so much so that while we were at the Cincinnati Zoo (the fucking ZOO) she saw that one of the little food stalls had La Rosa's pizza and said "oh we gotta go there".

I don't like pizza by the slice, that's been sitting out all day, and I definitely don't like pizza (or any other food) from a goddamn ZOO CAFE. But I'm a trooper. She got a slice of pepperoni. I wanted to try the CHEESE PIZZA. So I got a slice.

It's foldable, so I folded, and went to town.

I'm sure many would judge it the worst pizza in the country.

I'm okay with that. Fuck all y'all, it was the best pizza I ever had. It's thick and dense with the sweetest pizza sauce known to man and about ten pounds of provolone (no mozzarella!) cheese.

It tastes like the kind my dad used to go get us when I was a kid.

It is awesome, and like their chili, it's only something that people from Cincinnati, or apparently who are married to someone from Cincinnati, could ever understand.
