Nanci, I regret to inform you that there are no actual pizza places in Gainsville desptie what you have been lead to believe. Pizza cannot generally be made south of Newark, or west of Scranton. The redneck factor tends to mutiliate the process, and you get these sandwich shops< grinders> that could not bake their way out of the Bastille. Your first clue as to whether there is any hope in these areas is the presence or absence of a large stone oven, with a narrow wide mouth. Pizza cannot be made on a conveyor belt or a rotiserrie, do not even attempt to tell me otherwise. The oven needs to be on all the time to acheive proper temperature. If they turn the knobs after you order, run like the wind. West of the Mississippi or south of the Ohio, the water lacks the specific mineral content to allow the crust to form properly. Pizza crust should be firm enough to snap on the bottom and soft enough to be chewy just under the sauce. Sicillian pies < square for all you goobers> should have a large layer of chewy , followed by a thin hard bottom that is not burnt. There is a large business in overnight shipment of correct pizza dough to places like Los Angeles and Las Vegas, but I doubt you will find it in Gainsville. You have most likely never had an actual bagel either. Bagels should be hard on the outside and chewy on the inside, and should not have a uniform roll like consistency. Grits , Thank God, cannot be found north of Maryland, except on US Military bases where they are standard fare for those conditioned to no longer care about flavor. So now you have three reasons to Visit Brooklyn: pizza, bagels and shipwrecks. Regards, Al Marvelli PS did you guys ever sort out that gap/tee deal??? what was that all about anyways? <--- cave related content.
