Well, the fates have conspired once again to deliver a majestic pizza miracle to our humble doorstep. That’s right, a few days ago I received a text to “check my doorstep” where there was a suspicious package sitting. I figured we were beyond the days of “see something, say something” so I scooped up the package and unraveled it with excitement. My prize? Two day old slices of Altoona Hotel Pizza, straight from Altoona.

Christa and I couldn’t wait to dig in. We recorded a live episode of the podcast so our reactions are fresh out of the oven. Join us on our journey as we dissect Altoona Hotel Pizza, admire its character and sturdiness.

As you can see from the picture above, the pizza is a Sicilian style slice. There’s a thin layer of sauce, a green pepper and then it’s covered with a few slices of impenetrable American cheese. The cheese forms a protective layer around the pizza, like a tarp covering a classic car from the elements in a suburban driveway.

This week we discuss how Nathan Myhrvold and Francisco Migoya ate their away through a handful of cities to decide the best pizza city.

East End Brewing Opens Up Permanent In-House Pizzeria, East End Chewing - East End Brewing has been a staple in the Pittsburgh beverage scene since I can remember. They are always celebrating every aspect of the city in unique ways. Ways that don’t seem pandering, they love the city with such earnestness. They’ve been experimenting with serving pizzas throughout the pandemic and have decided to make the move permanent. Much like their series of beers for each Pittsburgh neighborhood, it sounds like each week they’ll have a new pizza for a specific Pittsburgh neighborhood. Excited to drink the Bloomfield Pizza with an Italian Pilsner!
