The eponymous owner of Tony's apparently shamed Italians, Chicagoans, and New Yorkers alike by being the first American to win the Pizza World Cup with his margherita pie. Besides wondering how we could snag seats as judges at such a tournament, Cheney, Rosie, and Victoria were keen on going, but too greedy to order something as classic and elegant as a margherita pizza. The walk to North Beach was torture as we were all ravenous and had to pass a slew of tempting dim sum places and delis in Chinatown, all with wonderful aromas wafting out their doors. Our seat in the sun, included a table that insisted on leaning sharply to the left, though Victoria managed to fix its wobble (Hence the tilt present in all pictures and liquids above). We chose two pizzas fired in the 900 degree wood oven and stared hopefully and hungrily as the waiters brought other patrons their food. The spicy chorizo was Victoria's favorite, with its paper thin potatoes and dollops of mozarella, while Rosie and Cheney loved the sharp tang of the anchovies matched with the acidic lemon juice. Both pizzas dripped with spicy orange chili oil, which led to lots of poised and dignified mopping, and then the eventual familiar feelings of sleepy contentment that signal the conclusion of another overindulgence.
