I so needed this pizza! It couldn’t have come at a better time. The last few pizzas I’ve had have been disappointing at best and so, almost in despair, I tried the Phoenix House of Pizza. Irene and Michelle had just eaten at the Chinese festival. I scrupulously avoid eating at the festival and so … Read more
Chinese New Year has rolled around again and we made our obligatory visit to Chinese Week at the Chinese Cultural Center. Irene has been sick, but was feeling better today, so we decided to see if there was anything new. There wasn’t. Chinese New Year is an interesting holiday, in a Chinese country, apart from … Read more
What can you say about a restaurant that you’ve been going to for 18 years? In that time I’ve had 3 employers, 4 residences, gotten married, had 2 children and not one single thing has changed at Johnnie’s in that time except maybe some of the pictures on the wall and the business cards on … Read more
On general principle I don’t review frozen pizza, they’re all bad, but that doesn’t stop me from eating them occasionally.

How’d you like this thing staring at you while you eat your pizza? They haven’t released all of Scooby-Doo on DVD yet, but if they ever do, I’m pretty sure this one is in there. It’s the episode where every time Shaggy and Scooby eat pizza, this ghost shows up and scares them into a … Read more
Pizza is subjective. I’ll be the first to admit that. One person’s ultimate pizza is another man’s greasy cardboard. Some days when I’m eating a review pizza, I think, “no one could like this”. Other days I think, “this isn’t my cup of tea, but I could see how someone else could love it.” And … Read more
There’s a little hole-in-the-wall gyros place on 24th street that I often pass at lunchtime on my way to the Apple Store. Every-time I pass it I think, “I should have gone there for lunch” but the parking is almost non-existent and by then I’m committed to another course of action. Yesterday, though, I was … Read more
