Pizza Review Review
Someone wrote in yesterday alerting us to the site "The Seattle Pizza Review" and while we were frantically trying to click to the next email as quickly as possible we accidentally hit the link and went to the site.
It's not that we hate pizza. We love it. If not for the fact that we'll soon be marrying a somewhat rational person we'd eat it two or three times a week. Pizza reviews, on the other hand, tend to suck. They're always written by average joe types who can be funny from time to time but never really give you enough to know whether you're going to like a particular slice or not. Turns out pro food writers are pros for a reason. Who knew! Pizza reviews also tend to be kind of gratuitious. They're a guaranteed crowd pleaser. It's just too easy for any kettle off the street to walk around all black guy off the street to write a few pizza reviews, get a few visitors and think he's got something to say. Plus they all seem to boil down to "It sucks. Nothing like the pizza I had while I was attending NYU," anyway.
"The Seattle Pizza Review" reviewers go about it the right way, though, and their profile rocks:
Our deep interest in pizza led to the dream of opening our own pizzeria. Our hopes were dashed when Sam learned of a disgusting skin allergy to pizza sauce while working at Pagliacci. However, we soon realized that a pizza review could be a great outlet for our pizza obsession. In a dark moment, this pizza blog was born.
A pizza review turns out to be just a pizza review, though, even if there's a tale of shattered dreams behind it. This site really shines on the days they don't do reviews and post links to pizza-related robberies from around the world.
