I could see that this was going to degenerate into a "my pizza is better than your's" fight, but let me say for the record that Buffalo pizza kicks butt. And the pizza pizza I had on the toronto trip wasn't half bad either. Reminds me of a saying (I start feeling old when I say stuff like this) "even cold pizza is pizza" (i.e. pizza just kicks butt no matter what). And maybe the pizza can't swim but I know that the pizza that we used to get when I was in elementary school (w/ the cardboard crust) could definitely float. To top it all off, if you're really worried about health (i.e. the amount of grease), you probably shouldn't be eating pizza, esp. w/ the bucket of chicken wings and . > I'll let you off with a warning this time but next time I shall have to > *smite* thee.
