Whatever you call it, it looks delicious to me and I would love to eat some.  NY style pizza is delicious as well!

I was born and raised in NYC and I've been to Chicago and had thick crust pizza at Uno's, Gino's, etc... and I loved it. I live in Manhattan and I can't for the life of me tell you what "real pizza" is. All I know is I eat lots of these doughy crust things with tomato sauce and cheese on top. The only downside of thick crust pizza is because of the crust, it takes extra time to make so plan in advance if you want it fresh.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

LOL ... impossible ... it's 3 states away!!  My parents drove and met us in Montana, which is the exact same distance away (assuming you are measuring in "states") and it took them 3 days!!!!!!!!

And speaking of non-golfing vacations ... Yellowstone National Park is a fantastic one just for the sights, and for the fishing if you're into it.

Also went to Cancun last year with the family without the golf clubs ... another great time!!

Yeah, any doughy, crusty, saucy, cheesy things are good in my book!  (And they're pizza too!)  Well, except when they're calzones, which are even better!!

What's a vacation? (I'm going to Chicago in a few weeks for two days. I'll play some disc golf on the way there with the family, but that's not "golf", so it counts. I will be enjoying several pizzas, too.)

LOL.  You just gave me a great idea.  Upside down upside-down cake!  It's gold, Jerry!  Gold!!

I'm trying to think of more.  Half-baked twice-baked potatoes, maybe?

I dunno, thats all I got. :)

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By p1n9183 ·

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.
