Five Year Poem Plan - Part 2

Week 217 - Pizza

I'd like to say I'm a real pizza aficionado. I'm a judge of "pie" character from the crust, to the sauces, down to the proper topping proportions, not excluding cheese ratio and type. I also believe the aesthetically pleasing picture-ability of these savory slices is paramount to enjoyment. If number of pies consumed has anything to do with this, I gotta be in the running for most knowledgeable consumer!

So what does one do when they find themselves in a new environment? Well, if your like me, you scope out the top rated pizza joints. This helps alleviate stress and put life back into pizza perspective, adding a routine of comfort food nirvana.

Pizza

New to the islands

Need a savory slice

Stressed and overwhelmed

Will this be paradise

Review upon review

Deep dish or thin crust

Tavern, pub, or bar

Flour or cornmeal dust

If the sauce is too heavy

A crust is compromised

Tomato, white, pesto,

oil and garlic also prized

If the toppings on sauce

Are tossed without a care

Reminding one of garbage

It's time to despair

Cheese is essential

Mozzarella hides flaws

Ricotta and parmesan

A trio to applause

Hawaii has its own pie

Sweet pineapple you say

I'm unconvinced its real

Not today, ever, no way

GPS routes to chinatown

A mistake, I'm quite sure

Unlikely place for pizza

And a pie craving cure

Pizza at an Irish pub

In Chinatown, absurd

Serving scrumptious slices

Thankful I discovered
