Yes that's right. Some run-down coal mining town in Northeast PA just outside of Scranton with an inordinately high population of Italian-Americans claims to be the pizza capital of the world. Apparently Old Forge style pizza is like, world famous or something. Therefore, despite the new high protein lo-carb diet I'm trying to start, Julie and I took a bike ride up there for lunch today.
Arcaro & Genell, the pizza restaurant we decided on, (there were many to choose from) claim that their founders invented the White Pizza, according to a newspaper clipping on their wall. Not wanting to delete the only healthy ingredient in pizza, we opted for a red pizza. The Old Forge style consists of a square pie (though they call it a tray) with a so-called double crust. We weren't actually sure what they meant by that. And some sort of secret blend of cheeses.
[noncomm-itally (snork)] It was alright. [/noncomm-itally]
