I'll be there Ric, if it isn't raining. Should be there around 5:30-6 o'clock. My clocks all work, so I'm very punctual.
John, a Stromboli is a baked Italian thing. You take a big chunk of pizza dough, fold it in half, open it back up, put some ham, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, and whatever else you like in it, pour on some pizza sauce and bake it. When I make them at home, I use the frozen bread dough for the crust. Thaw the bread out, roll it with a rolling pin, add the ingredients, and bake her off.
I've been going to John's Pizzeria for almost 40 years. Was a loyal customer. I know the owner and most of the help. I like my Stromboli with a soft crust, not crispy and burnt. They all know this. I ordered it that way. The owners son started cooking there. He seems to think that the customer will take his food the way it comes out, never mind what you want. They sent me a burnt- up one out. I said no way I'm eating that burned up piece of shit. They made me a new one that was better. I saw Joe, the owner, outside at the cruise. He asked why I seemed pissed off. I told him what happened. He came back later and said the burnt one looked OK to him. I called him out on that, and he said he had to keep his kid happy. So be it, I haven't been back. I'm stubborn, or mule headed to some.
