Wedges Vs. Squares-- Pizza, That Is

WEDGES VS. SQUARES-- Yesterday's Chicago Tribune had and article in the Play section where Phil Vettel, restaurant critic, and Kevin Pang had a deep discussion about whether pizza cut into squares or wedges was better. Kevin likes the wedges and Phil the squares. The discussion got quite gooey.

Kevin said that the one who got the center piece of the square one was really lucky. That's the one piled high with all the goodies. He described it as the Paul Lynde slice: center square and too much cheese. Now, that is one good comparison.

Phil was very impressed with the Paul Lynde reference. However, it's true, those middle pieces on the square-cut are by far the best. I'm not as fond of the edges as there is generally less stuff. Give me more junk!!! The more the better.

Kevin feels the wedges are more democratic in that everyone gets a little piece of the good center along with the sparse edges.

Christopher Borrelli is from the east coast and chimed in that real pizza is served in wedges so you can fold the crust before "shoveling it into your face." Also, there is a third style, the rectangular called the pizza strip.

Personally, I don't care. Any way you get the pizza is good as long as it is piled high in what I like to call a garbage pizza.

How 'bout you?

And my most favorite of all, is the pizza buffet where I like to graze and sample MANY different types of the pie. Again, I don't care how it's cut.

Gettin' Hongry Typin' Dis. Perhaps the Pizza Hut Buffet in Round Lake Beach for Lunch. $5.99 and All the Grazing You Want. --RoadDog
