Hi, spinbaby. I thought I knew every type of pizza under the sun but this one was new to me. I went to your link and read the article and boy does that sound good. I love making pizza at home. I have a pizza stone and a paddle and several kinds of pans. I like to alternate between thin and slightly crispy and thick and soft. But your style looks like its thick and crispy. Interesting.

I never did acquire a taste for Chicago style pizza but I love NY and coming from Philly, we have a similar style to theirs. I also love California, non-traditional gourmet-ish pizza with healthy and unusual ingredients, sometimes ethnic in nature.

I wish you luck with your dough, sometimes it takes a bit of trial and error to get it to the desired consistency. Maybe try brushing some oil on during cooking to get that crunch you're looking for. Boy is this conversation making me hungry. I gotta go see if I have stuff in the fridge to make some of my own.

My wife grew up across the river in Martins Ferry. We moved there having met and married, and raised our kids for about 4 years before moving again.

Let me tell you what I think about that pizza. Being brought up on pizza in New England, the first time I had it, I hated it, and I still do.

I'm not criticizing you. To do so I would be doing the same to my kids and wife and her family who love it.

I still don't eat sushi, though my family does. I never will. New England seafood fixed me for life.

My wife's sister drove here, to Virginia, last summer with Dicarlos dough, cheese and sauce, packed in ice, filling up our freezer for months. I didn't touch a bite.

I don't know if Dicarlos delivers in packed ice, but that's a thought if you like it.

Ask your husband if he's a fan of those fish sandwiches sold at that central market in Wheeling.

I think you have to grow up with it. My husband grew up with it and loves the stuff. The best is apparently from the Elm Grove Dicarlos and must be eaten in the parking lot to get the full experience.

Eating the pizza in the parking lot must be a teenage experience for your husband. One thing you and I can surely agree on: The Ohio Valley produces great spouses, and great families to marry into. I love my in laws.

I'd certainly try it.
