Pizza redux
Now that my pizza rant of a few months past has been reanimated, I felt the need to establish a definite hierarchy.
1. Pizza Pomodoro (Leeds St). Unapproachably superior in every way.
2. Boulot (Blair St). Previously subject to some obbrobrium relating to the burnt-base incident, they have re-established themselves recently following several evening appraisal sessions involving large drinks and even larger hangovers.
3. Woodfired Pizzaria (Marine Pde, Day's Bay). Until recently indistinguishable from Mediterranean Food Warehouse - including in menu - but have advanced their cause significantly of late. Points off for being in Days Bay, but not enough to let through...
4. Mediterranean Food Warehouse (cnr Constable & Daniel Sts, Newtown). Decent.
5. Hell (all over). Still the best of the chains. A recent discovery has improved their stock somewhat.
6. Pizza Hut (all over). Actually appear to know how to make something resembling pizza. Not at all like...
7. Dominos (all over). A joke. Their toppings are weird at best, but mostly rubbish. They're coupon-nazis. They have limited payment options. Their "triple-cheese" base should be the subject of an enquiry by the World Health Organisation. The ONLY thing in their favour is thet they're often open at 2am in the morning.

Presumably Scopa gets the same rating as Boulot, given that they are essentially the same recipes? Plus, they're $10-15 normally, and just $10 on Mondays. Mmmm, quattro formaggio.
Kudos for not even bothering to mention the Dog. How about Zibibbo? Their potato, rosemary & blue cheese is something special. And may I guiltily suggest Calzone as worthy of a quiet mention?

I've only had Scopa pizza once, and I was admittedly in a bad mood, but I thought they were dryer than their Boulot big brothers.
We ordered Pompadoro delivery today at lunchtime because no one wanted to leave the office in the pouring rain, and it was nice - I'm sure it'd be better if it was actually hot though. And served with booze.
