When Jimmy's pizza was in my hubby's store, I would buy my dough from them. Now, I cheat...I use Martha White's and it is yummmm!! I make my own sauce. I love a garbage pizza with almost everything on it!
Show me a real authentic Italian resturant anywhere around here please. BTW......in all honesty if you are talking pizza.....then there isn't a true italian pizza to be found anywhere near hear. Incidentally the Greeks originally came up with the pizza. Craig
I am just agreeing with Kaci. But I know, nothing would be compared to what I am used to from up North so I have to settle on what we have here. And yes, I heard about it being Greek I am assuming we are talking about Italian food in general. Ro
Craig, Jimmy is Sicilian, he's first-generation born in the US...he uses a family recipe. I'd say that's pretty authentic. If it's not what you're used to from up North then you're used to Yankee pizza . Frogger
Some info for you Yankees, from what i understand the chef is coming here from NY so it will be authentic NY pizza. As for the other dishes, i hope they are like authentic Italian dishes, we had an authentic Italian Restaurant in VA (and it was authentic, the Italians that owned it lived next door to me) and it was great. i don't believe, from what i have heard that it is in anyway associated with another restaurant - it is a privately owned business.
I'll have to give his a try then, but I doubt seriously it will be anything like the pizza I used to eat when I was stationed in Sicily for a year. Please note that I was stationed at Comiso Air Station and we had no chow hall on base so everything was either eat at the local resturants or shop in the comissary and cook yourself. As I lived in the dorm, all we had was a small dorm sized fridge in each room, one dorm community stove, no cookware, and one dorm community microwave. So you can take your guess where I did my eating. Ah the days of being able to order a 5 course meal for about $7 due to the exchange rates with a bottle of the local house wine (which was usually bottled not too far away). As for being used to Yankee pizza, can't say that I have every really tried what I would call Yankee pizza. Being from the south (Johnston/Wake counties to be exact) it's all American style pizza, with slight variations based on regional tastes, though I guess the British could call American style...Yankee pizza, since they refer to us as Yanks. Going back to an earlier comment I love Franks pizza in Raleigh, been going there off and on since I was 5-6 years old. But it still isn't like the pizza I ate while stationed in Sicily. Craig
Craig is definitely not from up North...he is born & bred JoCo. I'm the only northerner in our house! :mrgreen:
Open Yet? I went to get coffee at the Grapevine this morning and they said that Marco's is supposed to open up for business today. If anyone goes, let us know what you had and how they are!
DH just called me and said that he and his work crew had been invited by the owners to go eat there today! So I guess we'll soon find out!
Speaking of food/restaurant My husband and I are going to Chapel Hill for an appointment on Monday and I was thinking about doing lunch. Does anyone know of a restaruant that we should try out. We will be in UNC area. We won't have the toddlers with us so I thought it would be nice, just the 2 of us. Thanks Ro
