every title i think of sounds so fucking stupid. even this one.

hello. my name is zhenya and I have this idea of eating a slice of pizza from every pizzeria in toronto, canada.

i dont know why i feel weird writing this down but i truly want to document the journey in some fashion and i think this place is as good as any. maybe i'll consolidate and put it all in a little book eventually, who knows. anyways, this will have a gradual start as i do have a packed life outside of pizza and if it ends up taking 10 years, whatever. i've put maybe 5 good minutes of thought into this so far but if I have any "guidelines" for myself it would be to try and give every spot a genuine shot. above all, that means coming for the slice before it's even ready so i have it in my hands right out of the oven. none of this "cooled-down, been sitting in a box for 20 minutes" shit.

to start, i know there are 2 slices from North of Brooklyn sitting in the office from where I work. I was working from home yesterday and allegedly one of the people there had left them hiding in the oven for me to pick up. well, i spent my evening buried in work and then headed off to watch Highway to Hell (the 1991 starring Rob Lowe's discount doppleganger and brother - Chad Lowe. Chad, I mean no disrespect). long story short, the pizza escaped my mind and i'm just remembering about it now as i write this. given that it's probably been sitting there for close to a day i'll bet the quality is far from ideal and frankly, dangerous to be consumed. i'm gonna go try it now to see what state of pizza i should NOT be eating...
