Started when one customer didn't get her pizza on time and stomped into the restaurant in a rage. She started screaming and throwing potato chips all over the floor. Chaos swiftly ensued.

Restaurant rage. Road rage. What next? LAST rage? Knitting rage?

And all over pizza conglomerate cardboard. Not like Milano's or anything.

I, personally, wouldn't order Pizza Pizza, let alone go ballistic over it. Domino's is our conglomerate of choice but I prefer the local indie we're using right now (Soprano's East for those who know London).

Domino's is good. We usually go Pizza Nova though we order conglomerate stuff. Our local place, Milano's, is vastly superior. I think in general local places are better.
 
I lived in a little town in Alberta for a few months. I didn't find any good pizza places there, or in Edmonton when I visited. The best pizza I've had was a donair pizza at a little pizza place in northern New Brunswick. A very close second would be a bulgogi pizza from a pizzeria in Seoul.
 
I know what I'm going to do in my retirement: Pizza Tour of Canada! Hit all the little small town pizza joints across this vast land. The question is, which will be first and which will be LAST!

Bulgogi on pizza?! *drools hungrily* What else to they put on? I can't see bulgogi going well with mozza and tomato sauce.

I don't really remember. It was 9 years ago. I think there may have been green onion...? The sauce may have been different. I do recall there being cheese. It was so yum.
 
Someday I may get to try it for myself. I imagine we'll tour Asia after retirement. We can base ourselves in Mrs. M's hometown (Shanghai) for a few months so that the jet lag of crossing the Pacific will already be taken care of and then use regional airlines to go to Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, etc. Also be cheaper than making multiple flights across the ocean.

Sweet. That will be a great tour. Lots of opportunities to see new things, meet new people, experience different cultures, and try different foods.

Yobo and I are planning to go to South Korea for a couple months next year. We'll be doing short-term missions work.

She's actually going to Seoul at the end of this month for a couple of weeks. Her parents are moving into a long-term care facility, and she wants to help them make that transition.

Mrs. M goes back every year now just to see her parents. Her Dad is in poor health but they have a form of home care (basically paying a woman to provide private duty home support) in place so he's still living with her Mom (who is in pretty good shape for her age) for now.

Well, if we are going to bring the Italians into this, Naples actually has the best pizza (yes, I've had both Roman and Neapolitan pizza in the actual cities). And real Italian calzone is to die for. I usually eat pastas or risottos in Italy, though. Really, there is just too much good food in that country. No wonder Italian is one of the most popular ethnic cuisines here.

How authentic is the Italian food here? Our "Chinese food" isn't really Chinese food, our "Mexican food" isn't really Mexican. Our "KFC" is more South Dakotan.

Actually, Italian is a little closer to authentic than Chinese (though keep in mind that pizza as we know it originated with Italian immigrants here). There is more variety in Italy, I would say, but if you hit smaller local Italian places (i.e. not East Side Mario's, which is more Italian-American than Italian), it's not much different from what you get in Italy. You get to get bigger portions for better prices over there, though. And I have yet to have a good Caprese salad here (buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes in a light olive oil dressing). Authentic Chinese is actually getting more and more available. We know of a good Shanghainese restaurant up in the Markham-Scarborough "Chinatown" that serves food I've never seen outside of Shanghai, certainly not anywhere here.
