Somebody told me a new Pizza My Heart is going in on Chestnut St. in San Francisco, where the Zao Noodle Bar used to be. Does anyone know whether there is any truth to this rumor?

    I sit here and review all of these e-mails for pizza in La and San Francisco and New York and the rest of these big cities. What about some of these little one horse towns and burgs.Some of these little towns throw out some real good pies.
    Like:
    Osso's in Washington Penna
    De Carlo"s in Elm Grove W.Virginia and
    Mazzies in Washington Penna

    All great pizzaries and thousands more like them all over the country. Can't ignore them because they are all in business and make great pizza.

    Think about it.

    Sorry Anita I am not trying to ignore your question,but I just wanted to get the point across before I forgot about it.

      Sure, Larry, it's an excellent point, and lest we should get too San Francisco-centric, I should note that my vote would have to go to the House of Pizza in South Paris, ME (should they still be in existence after all these years). But since this is the "Pizza San Francisco" tribe, I doubt most folks on this list have ever heard of South Paris, ME or will be stopping in at the House of Pizza on their lunch hours!

        Your right--San francisco is a long way from the east coast.Pizza is pizza. Everyone has their own taste.
        May the force be with you.

          Once, back in 2000, I was schlepping my stuff from Oakridge TN to Selinsgrove PA but, due to bad weather had to spend the night in Winchester VA. When I pulled off the highway I was greeted by a dismal burnt out shopping mall with lots of spent motor oil on the parking lot and a cinder-block ediface. I was exhausted and quite hungry but a little scared of the food offerings there. I settled on a little pizzaria, replete with fake brick and Dean Martin singing "That's Amore". When I walked in, the place had only two other people in it. I ordered a medium cheese pie, and it took about 35 minutes to get to the table. I wasn't expecting anything more than a good stuffing, but to my sweet surprise I was treated to one of the best pies of my life. The first thing that blew me away was the sauce. It was the tomatoes as well as the seasoning and cooking that made it sing like the angel Israfel. The cheese was nothing short of the best of the best mozzarella I've ever had. The crust was moderately thin, perhaps a sour-dough, and, if I remember correctly, had cornmeal underneath. The crust alone would have made memorable eating. I ate the whole pie in a state of ecstasy, smiling like a lunatic. The place, who's name I have long since forgotten, was an Italian mom and pop set-up that grew the Roma tomatoes at their home. Not long after I arrived, the place was packed. I thanked them so much that I think they were getting a little tired of me. Two hours later, in my motel room, my taste buds were still ringing with the flavors. I topped it off with some Ben and Jerry's. If heaven exists, it sure finds some unassuming places to settle into.
