It's up on 450 and it is a popular destination for pizza night at our house. And Ella's is some fine pizza, I will eat there whenever I'm in the neighborhood.<BR/><BR/>DD - Mac and Cheese is good, too. My mother's was killer.

The owner (Vinnie) makes them himself usually with a cigarette dangling from his lips...scattered ashes just lend to the taste of the pizza. Comes on a cardboard box wrapped in packing paper. <BR/><BR/>Sorry John but my WASPish heritage meant I never did the Lent thing.

My friend did but for the last several weeks has been asking me if she will go to Hell if she gives in and goes before Easter. I tell her, "Sorry, that's not my call."<BR/><BR/>So, we have plans to go to the casino on Sunday. I wonder if we go to Hell for going to the casino on Easter.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, I can't comment on pizza. I live in the midwest, and not Chicago.<BR/><BR/>Happy Easter to the BA family!<BR/><BR/>ddAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33347656.post-57226409970929493402008-03-21T09:10:00.000-04:002008-03-21T09:10:00.000-04:00Favorite Pizzas:Famous Ray's, 6th Ave & 11th St, N...Favorite Pizzas:<BR/>Famous Ray's, 6th Ave & 11th St, NYC<BR/>Frank & Pat's, College Ave, Appleton, WI<BR/>2 Amy's, Wisc. Ave, DC<BR/>Ella's, 9th St, DC<BR/>The Original Ledo's, Hwy 193, Adelphi, MD<BR/>Alerio's (pretty close to Ray's), Rt. 1, College Park, MD<BR/>Pizzeria Uno's, Ohio & Wabash, Chicago<BR/><BR/><BR/>I love great pizza...I even love good pizza. But bad pizza...KILLER! Of the ones I've listed, Ray's is the one I would travel for...and face plant in the middle of a solid slice of cheese! It doesn't need ANYTHING else. The Deep Dish is an experience I can't relive too often, but it's fun. Recently I made my own and it was FUN! You can find that experience in the recipe archive on my blog. <BR/><BR/>Locally...Ledo's is nice, but it's not a traditional pie. The crust is almost like a pie crust, more flakey, less doughy. 2 Amy's is pure and good...orignal pizza...little tomato, little cheese, little basil...brick, fire, ohhh. Ella's is an easier place to get into and more central for gathering with friends. Alerio's delivers to campus and we have it for lunch off and on and I'm always thrilled and it's as close as I can come to Ray's. Frank and Pat's...that's a hometown favorite...The stove is a gas stove that was shipped over from Italy many, many years ago. The crust is almost a cracker it's so thin and crispy. The sauce is full or oregano and red pepper. The pepperoni's are thick and skinny. <BR/><BR/>Great...now I will think about pizza for the rest of the day!ScottE.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02346813251871182513noreply@blogger.com
