Humble Pie

Finally, after 2 1/2 years, I have found good Pizza in central Oklahoma.

The pizza joint is called Humble Pie, and they tout that they serve "authentic Chicago style pizza," and New York style, too.

I don't know a thing about New York style pizza, other than the slices are big and floppy, and you have to fold them to eat them...so why not just get a calzone?

Anyway--we went to Humble Pie last night and got a pie. They're about 40-45 minutes north of us, up in the town of Edmond, which is very much like Naperville, in Illinois: overpopulated and over priced, mostly. It's where the young money is. Yeah....lots of pretense.

But Humble pie is just a little spot in an older strip mall. Not pretentious in the least.

The deep dish crust was absolutely perfect. Thin, firm, and crisp on the bottom, meaning that they use a hot enough oven to bake the crust perfectly, but not hot enough to burn the toppings.

The toppings, we got what they call the supreme, were perfect, and the sauce, which my first taste of made me think it was too sweet, turned out to be just right.

And I am all about the sauce when it comes to pizza.

We have tried several other places that are NOT "corporate pizza," but they have failed to deliver, heh.. so to speak.

Some of them are obviously better than others---and ALL are better than corp..... but this place was, hands down, the source of the best pizza I have had in 2 years.

Yum.
