Quest for Pizza

Did you know...pizza crust generally contains wheat? It's true! A food I love, and I cannot eat most of what is made out there. Lucky for me, there are enough wheatophobes in the world today that even pizza restaurants are catering to our needs...and our ever-present pepperoni cravings.

I learned of a local business that has an entry in the wheat/gluten challenged arena: Mississippi Pizza. Now, while I have finally found a decent crust recipe, and it is fun to build your own pie to your specifications, pizza really is something to be shared. It's a social food, and unfortunately, no one ever wants to have a slice of the 'special' pizza at home. You can be sure that my next wedge of cheesy, greasy goodness will be enjoyed in North Portland, at this gracious establishment.

Yum! You're making me hungry!

Do you know, is Mississippi Pizza the same as a place I remember as "Mississippi Station?"

It's not, though the "Station" does have some pizza offerings on their menu; I was just there last week, in fact. They are both, interestingly enough, on Mississippi Avenue. I know...I am as astounded as you are.

IMO, more pizza is generally a good thing... in general.
