It's frustrating to read this blog entry and some of the comments - culinary ignorance.<BR/><BR/>It's long been established that Neapolitan pizza is the original pizza.

It wasn't horrible, but definitely nothing like I've had in Italy.<BR/><BR/>I ate a fantastic thin-crust pizza at Michelangelo in Silverlake on Friday night though. My friend Nicole and I split the large "Michelangelo" pizza which is prosciutto, mozzarella and tomato sauce. Highly recommended.

The crust balance gets thrown out when the pie gets any bigger. The crust there is almost like a cracker, so it's nothing like a good-ol' East Coast pie.<BR/><BR/>The place I love, love, love for pizza is Zelo's, which all the way in Arcadia on Foothill in a sort of strip-mall building next to a nail salon.
