  • SliceWorks, Berlin CT: Just Okay, Nice People

    No photo — a spontaneous stop in Berlin, CT the day before this post, late morning. The pizza itself was just okay. The staff, though, were genuinely nice about it: no pre-made pepperoni slices ready to go, so they tried to fake one together on the spot — and didn’t quite get the pepperoni properly…

  • Breakfast Pizza From a Gas Station, and It Ruled

    Breakfast Pizza From a Gas Station, and It Ruled

    Excellent breakfast pizza — scrambled eggs, bacon, a cheddar-mozzarella blend, cut into wide slices — and here’s the part that actually matters: it came from a Kwik Fill gas station in South Wales, NY. Not a pizzeria with a breakfast side hustle. An actual gas station, doing this well. Rural gas-station food service is genuinely…

  • Regina Pizzeria, Burlington Mall: Fine, But Wait for the Original

    Regina Pizzeria, Burlington Mall: Fine, But Wait for the Original

    Apologies in advance for the photo on this one — food court lighting and a rushed shot did it no favors. Two pepperoni slices at the Regina Pizzeria in the Burlington Mall, early April 2026. Honest take: the mall location is fine, but it’s nowhere near the original in the North End. That’s not really…

  • The Most Recent Entry, Sudbury, April 2025

    The Most Recent Entry, Sudbury, April 2025

    The newest pizza in this whole 15-year archive — April 2025, Sudbury, Massachusetts, photographed close-up on a wire rack in a style that would look right at home next to any of this blog’s more recent wing posts. Full circle: the same photography habits that built the wing archive apparently started with pizza, over a…

  • The Charred Grill Pizza, Sudbury Backyard

    The Charred Grill Pizza, Sudbury Backyard

    September 2023, back in Sudbury, and this one has serious grill-marks-and-char energy — a heavily blistered crust on a wood board with grass in the background, looking every bit like it came off a hot grill or outdoor pizza oven rather than a conventional indoor one. By 2023 this household had clearly graduated from wire-rack-on-the-counter…

  • Backyard Pizza, Boxborough Edition

    Backyard Pizza, Boxborough Edition

    June 2022, Boxborough, Massachusetts, and this pizza made it all the way outside — photographed on a wood peel with grass visible in the background. Olives and assorted toppings on a crust that looks like it got real oven (or maybe outdoor pizza oven) heat. Boxborough is a new town for this archive too, which…

  • Wayland Pizza, a One-Off Location

    Wayland Pizza, a One-Off Location

    May 2021, and this one’s tagged to Wayland, Massachusetts — a town that doesn’t show up anywhere else in this archive, wings or pizza. Pepperoni and banana peppers on a well-browned crust, photographed on a wire rack. Someone’s kitchen, someone’s oven, just not the usual one. I’ll guess this was made at a friend or…

  • Sudbury Era Begins: White Pizza, Overhead Shot

    Sudbury Era Begins: White Pizza, Overhead Shot

    May 2020 — new house, new location tag (Sudbury, Massachusetts, which shows up all over this blog’s wing archive too), and a return to the white-pizza-with-ricotta formula, this time shot from directly overhead on a wood table. The pandemic spring when everyone’s home cooking hobbies got a serious upgrade shows up here too, apparently. I’ll…

  • Two Pizzas, Bright Light, No Date to Be Honest About

    Two Pizzas, Bright Light, No Date to Be Honest About

    This one has no timestamp in its file data at all, so in the interest of honesty: I don’t know exactly when this was taken. What’s clear is the content — two round pizzas side by side on a wood table, one white with a green garnish, one red-sauced, photographed in genuinely good natural light…

  • The Retrospective Collage

    The Retrospective Collage

    Not a single pizza night but a multi-panel collage — five different pizzas from five different moments, assembled together at some point rather than shot in one sitting. No date survives on this one, but it reads like a “best of” compilation someone put together looking back through the archive. Fitting, honestly, that this collection…
