Mmmmm... Pizza

2007_10_pizza.jpgYou have to read Metromix's "Reader Review Crew" pieces with a grain of salt. Or maybe a whole container of salt. We remember when the beer garden group visited Happy Village and wrote, "Why go to a bar when you can have a more pleasant experience at your buddy's place—and not have to leave your date sitting alone while you trek inside to buy beers? Now, we love a good dive bar, but dive bars and beer gardens don't always mix." Oh, snap! Happy V, you just got treated!

The point of all this is that another reader review crew is in the works, and this one involves eating pizza, and lots of it. Members of the "Pizza Posse" will spend a month visiting the city's new pizza places and then reporting back their findings on a weekly basis. All we're saying is a month of eating at Spacca Napoli, Coalfire, A Mano and Crust (oops, we know Crust doesn't have pizza—only "flatbread") doesn't sound like a bad way to spend November.

Full instructions on how to apply available here; applications are accepted until Nov. 4.
