Shot and beer joints. B&W TV flickering the Cubs, Bears, and Notre Dame. 10 year old me sitting in a booth, me and my pizza, while my Dad is at the bar watching the Irish with his steelworker buddies. Those were the best days of my life.

  - You're supposed to take it out of the pan... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 4:30pm 9/5/25

    - Coincidentally, sitting down to one of the best pies on Long Island. Thin crust, charred in a wood - TakethetrainKnute - 1:50pm 9/5/25
      - New Haven style? [NT] - PaND - 2:13pm 9/5/25
        Yep. Very similar. Love Frank Pepe’s and Sally’s there. - TakethetrainKnute - 2:20pm 9/5/25
        Me too, they both are excellent. Apizza is the best. [NT] - PaND - 2:32pm 9/5/25
        It's great...and you can't duplicate those old seasoned ovens they have... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 3:55pm 9/5/25
      - Longstocking? Nico's Root and Branch? [NT] - Hensou - 2:10pm 9/5/25
        Good work! Nico's is the spot. Finishing my last beer in the sun on the front porch of R&B. - TakethetrainKnute - 2:20pm 9/5/25
        Last beer in the sun? Time to drink in the shade! [NT] - Hensou - 2:22pm 9/5/25
        "Last Beer in the Sun" should be the name of a song...or maybe a band... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 5:56pm 9/5/25
- I prefer cracker thin crust generally, but a Detroit is good once in awhile. [LINK] - iairishcheeks - 12:28pm 9/5/25

      - Great memories. Do those places still exist? [NT] - Hensou - 4:27pm 9/5/25
        Mid 1960s Gary, Indiana. Now burned to the ground, boarded up, or leveled. [NT] - ELP - 4:55pm 9/5/25
        Sad. But great memories. Glad you and your dad enjoyed! [NT] - Hensou - 6:26pm 9/5/25
