I’ve had pizza with an egg in the center in England and I thought it was great! I keep thinking of asking my local pizza place to add an egg to it just to see what they’d say. I’ve never been to France so I can’t comment on anything else.

That’s what I’d hoped, but nope. I saw posters, signboards and delivery scooters all over the city, and every one of them was offering hot, delicious pizz.

It’s pretty funny, and one must remember that French kids are fascinated with cowboys and Indians, so I’m guessing this restaurant is for the kiddies.

I’m only interested if I get to eat real buffalo. Man, buffalo is good eating.

If your idea of pizza that is “pretty darn good” is pizza that is on par with [I[Pizza Hut\*, you have pretty low standards. Come to Chicago dude and I’ll show you what pizza is all about!
