Hey Janet & Rich...spotted this note from Mary over on the other board...

Dear Janet and Rich:
 
I hope you had a most happy day.  I can't think of a better way to celebrate than with really good pizza.
 
Although there are many soi-disant pizzerias around here (Charlotte, NC), there is no pizza worthy of the name.  About the best I can get is "Mama Mary's" pre-made crust with my own toppings.  In Charlotte they think garlic is something that comes granulated in a jar.  I have been here almost seven bleak pizzaless years.  Oh, pizza fairy, take me back to Connecticut, where even cold leftover pizza is better than what they serve in this city.
I am firmly convinced there is no real pizza south of Mason & Dixon's line.  I long for pizza with fresh garlic, homemade sausage, extra mozzarella.  Deep dish Chicago style brimming with sauteed mushrooms is OK, too -- but they never heard of it in Charlotte.
 
Love to you both,
Mary (pizzaless in Charlotte)

Thanks for posting Ei!  I'll send Mary a note later from home.  That said, Mary has summed up my feelings about pizza perfectly.  It simply doesn't exist south of the Mason-Dixon line.  I once brought some back and shared a slice with my boss (originally from CT) who promptly devoured it cold!  I don't get it.  How can something as simple as pizza be impossible to make in the pizza-less wasteland that we call the south?
