OK, Here we go..... I think it only fair to start with this photo as this trip to Tokyo, and the inspiration of these two guys with me in the photo, really kicked off my interest in exploring food, photographing said eats, and sharing/explaining my impressions of my experiences. So, to you David Chang and Anthony Bourdain, Cheers, and thanks. As I begin I think it only fair to explain a bit of what my purpose with this blog is. As you know, I do not participate in Facebook, and I wont go into why here, but I NEEDED a vehicle to communicate and connect with those in my life, both near and far. As the name implies, this will primarily be a blog about pizza. However, as this is mine, I will feel free to do and say as I damn well please, as it pleases me. So I hope to not offend or tiptoe too far over the line of appropriateness, but if I do, that's just too fucken bad. Enjoy. Pizza, food, life experiences, thoughts, feelings, rants, and more food. This is what you will find here. Please feel free to share and pass along to anyone you think might have an interest, as I hope you will as well. Sincerely yours, DVA

Papa John's Spicy Pulled Pork Pizza


The Steelers are on and it's time for a beer and the game.  
Well, maybe more than A beer, maybe alotta beers! 

What goes best with football and beer?

YES

PIZZA

And I've had way too much of them damn Papa John's fricken commercials lately.  So much so that I need to put that pie in mouth!  And this is the night!

We have no expanded cable but we do have the interweb and a tv in the garage that connects to blah blah blah

enough about that

Beer, smokes, Steelers, let's get that pie on the way!


Dos Equis Amber, por favor



The snackable offered tonight is our honey mustard pretzels

A decent treat while waiting for the hot pork pie


If you didn't get it from the title of this post, this is all about the spicy pulled pork pizza.  I know I know I KNOW, it can't be good, but for $12 it's TOTALLY worth a try.  The absolute worst thing that could happen is a case of the mud-butt in the morning, well worth the risk I'd say.

Here's the dude, Happy Pappy John!

ORDER UP!


 The box....


The pie....  Feels dirty to even call it that

WDSS?


HG also wanted a salad, so why not

Looks pretty lame, and over processed, but it's under $5!!!

Pretty bad from what I heard, I didn't try it though.  Why waste the space?


And here we go....

I do very much love the pepperoncinis, no matter how wilted they are from sweating their asses off in the box with the hot pie.  I still like'em


Closer


CLOSER


YES!!!!!!

Verdict?


I say YUMMM!!!!

The pork is real pork, chunks of it, in a tangy BBQ sauce that contains the perfect level of spice.  Yes, perfect.  Very gently it creeps up on you, caressing your mouth, surrounding your buds, easing it's way down your throat, and then???

it stops           right where it should

Not a punch in the face level spice, nor like a hammer on the head, neither a fist to the gut

More like if Rhett Butler was pissed at you, and slapped you in the face with a pair of gloves held in one hand.  Oh, you'd know that you were slapped, but no mark is left, no sign of the crime.  But you'd feel it, you'd know who delt it as well, and just as fast, the perp is gone.  Like a thief in the night.  Nice.

Don't get me wrong, there will be no Papa John's pizza party at the casa.  But for $12 will I consider shoving my face in this pie??  Hell to the yes!

Eat it!

DVA
