Los Olivos’ Solvang Pizza in London, ON. Chorizo verde and jalapeños.
9/10
Oh my word that looks tasty! I’d take it into a closet and eat it there, lest anyone else want a piece.
You lived in Van and drove to Bham for pizza? No way! I live in Bham. We have a crap ton of pizza joints. None of them mind blowing. Apparently we just inherited some pizza chefs from a top spot in Seattle but I have yet to try their new place here.
I did indeed. It was the closest place I could find anything close to a deep dish Chicago-style pie. I did not yet have the know-how to bake my own, though being in that situation started me down the path of learning how.
It was Fat Pie. They’re closed now. This would have been 2016-2018
Fat Pie was definitely ok. We have a Zeeks now which I like better. I think Cichittis was my all time fave around these parts. Have you heard the buzz about Moto? Seattle chain. Red hot for awhile. How fun that you were so nearby. What made you only be in the area two years?
I worked in the VFX industry. Lots of studios up in Vancouver. I needed to be back in the states for family stuff.
Cool. I have a friend who did that as well. Only lived down here and occasionally commuted up there. I hope you found a place now at least half as nice as PNW. There’s no beating it imo.
Lived in Portland for about a year as well. Lovely part of the world. I’m in NorCal now, so, close, and it’s only 4 hours to Ashland.
Pepperoni and Mushroom at DoughBox in London, Ontario. Good pepperoni, good crust, the sauce was too salty.
