Too much Pizza!

Charles Henry and I went on a Pizza tour of the city yesterday.

I walked from my apartment, paid for a coffee at sbux and met up with him and Jack Daniels in my old neighborhood. Chuck has said plenty about his pizza opinions- these are mine...

First Stop: Ernesto's Pizza. For the past year I have resided in Boston's North End AKA "Little Italy." I've probably hit this place up at least 2 times a week on average. Usually I get a slice (2 massive slices) of cheese to go if I'm solo and heat it up in my toaster oven. If I'm dining with companions I try to avoid the table behind the soft drink station- It's a sure thing you'll be in someone's way. If you're going to venture outside the plain cheese world and you are unfamiliar with the different combinations Ernesto's has to offer I would not recommend going on a sunny day. The glare of the sun against the pizza display's window kills one's ability to distinguish a pepperoni pizza from a buffalo chicken pizza. Anyways my slice of choice w/ toppings is the "chicken pepperoni and ricotta." It's extreme, but if you eat meat and don't mind putting your health on the line for an amazing slice I highly recommend it. There's about 3 regular workers I encounter at Ernesto's. One being an old man that lounges behind the counter drinking bud light. One's a very quiet mid 20's guy. And lastly there's my workaholic buddy who is there 90% of the time making it happen, if Super Mario ever came to life he'd look like this guy.
Bring cash here. They accept cards, but a couple of my friends got duplicate charges so use the Bank of America ATM 2 stores down and save yourself the hassle.

Haymarket: Chuck brought me here one day around the time of the Sox 07 playoffs before we hustled credit cards. A decent slice. Haymarket in general gives me bad vibes so I usually shy away from the area at all costs. Good slice though. I won't bore anyone with talk about the sugary sauce or cheap price. You know this.

moving on. 2 free iced coffees down the road...

Bostone: Worst slice of the day. The crust is too thin and crispy for my liking, the sauce and cheese lacked harmony. Maybe it was the fact that I already had 3 slices in my stomach, or maybe Bostone's slice of cheese really just is terrible. Don't get me wrong I'll enjoy a slice of Sicilian cheese from here any day, I'm just not feeling the average slice.
Sit outside here- you might get dripped on. True story.

We took a break for new gear, lurked people waiting in line for the Grand Opening at the Apple Store, and then made the trek to...

Chacho's: A first time for me. Best slice of the day. I couldn't finish but as I told Chuck "There's a reason why the women's T in golf is closer than the Men's" I'll probably make a summer habit of strolling down to this place on nice days.
