“The pizza here is absolutely nuts. It's so crispy. There's something about that dough. Beautiful bake, tomatoes rich, top quality, fresh. The cheese is quite rich, nice flavor to it. It's not just plain. I don't think there's anything better than cheesesteaks and pizza.”

Cheesesteak
I'm having my first ever Philly cheesesteak. Oh, what an experience. The biggest compliment I can pay it is it tastes exactly how good it looks. The bread is insane. There's so much steak in this sandwich. The only downside is I don't know how Philadelphia is going to top this. The smell in the kitchen is one of the best I've experienced: meat seared on the grill, mixed with sweet caramelized onions, and sharp white cheese melting into the mix. It's local, not cheddar.
