Get some rest, but wake your neighbor first. We need someone up there keeping an eye on Russia for us.

I'm horrified that you would even use the terms 'pizza' and 'bagels' on the west coast; they're practically cheap imitations without New York water.
I was recently in Vegas, though, and was reminded that you have us beat with In N Out Burger [winking]
There is no such thing as a 'pizza pie'. It's a 'pizza'. Pies are apple, cherry, pecan, cream, etc... not a pizza.
Obviously Chicago makes the best pizza, but the west coast has some excellent pizza joints.
They still are in central jersey and the shore.
I've noticed throughout the years, including on this board .. that some of you people call a pizza a pie. A pie is cherry pie, apple pie, cream pie, pecan pie, etc... but it's not a pizza. People have coffee and pie. A pizza is a pizza .. not a pie. Only communist call a pizza a pie tmk. So for those of you who travel to Seattle for the RU vs UW game and you want to order a pizza .. don't be asking for a pie or chances are you will be arrested and locked up for being a communist subversive.
This is a pie ...

Whoa there Tony Soprano. We say 'cars' on the west coast, not 'caws'. We actually have the letter 'R' in our alphabet.
You slipped up, the New Yawkers call it the Shaw. The Jersey Shore is a region, including Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic and Cape May counties, including the beach towns, and towns adjoining the beach. As Tom Waits sang (and popularized by Bruce Springsteen), "Down the shore, everything is all right."One other thing. Real Americans go to the beach, not the shore.
This thread reminds me of when I lived in North Carolina. Everyone I knew there kept telling me about different places that served great pizza. I would try the various pizzas and then feel sorry for those who thought that those pizzas were good.
I do know that you can get very good pizza pies outside of the NJ/NY area. But they are few and far between and you usually have to spend a lot of time searching.
I say BS to In N Out. Way overrated. Good value, that's about all. Lived in Cali for 10 years, never got what all the fuss was about. Way too much lettuce for my taste and the fries, while fresh,were awful.I dig the cult like feeling and need for left coasters to claim something of theirs to be best in show , but the praise for that burger is way misplaced. JMHO.
It bothers me how Germans refer to their country as Deutchland instead of the proper Germany.
And don't get me started on "Is it gravy or sauce?"How is this thread multiple pages and not one comment about how a tomato can be classified as a fruit and therefore qualifies as a fruit pie?

Dean Martin disagrees.
And seriously, someone complaining about how "east coasters" (read: NY/NJers) talk about pizza? It's like someone complaining about how Idahoans talk about potatoes or how Louisianans talk about cajun food.
Your in America now so it's time you learn to speak American.
Post of this thread!
Separately, people calling pizza pies is really what you find "disturbing" with people from the East Coast?
About 20 years ago while I was stationed in Northern California my parents (who still lived in NJ), visited us. We decided to take the quick route for dinner and get delivery from Domino's. My mom calls Dominos and says, "yes, I'd like to order two pies for delivery." All I hear from my mom after that is "what do you mean you don't have pies, this is Domino's, right?" A few seconds later she hangs up and starts complaining to me that the Dominos guy is out of his mind. I had to explain to her to call back and just order two "pizzas".
Monmouth County not calling them pies? Seriously? You're telling me if you walked in to any of the hundreds of Pizza places from Hazlet to Brielle that they wouldn't understand. I order pizzas all the time. When ordering a piece of pizza it's a "slice" when ordering a "whole" pizza it's a "pie"Down here at the Jersey Shore (at least in Monmouth County), we don't call them pies.
Thank you. That would be the New Yawkers and some folks from Nawth Jersey. Down here at the shore, we drive cars.

BTW, do the folks going to Seattle need to wear flannel and combat boots or Converse, or has the grunge look gone out of fashion in Seattle? WTF was everyone so depressed about in the 1990's in Seattle? The persistent rain?

Dean was singing commie talk in that song. Not everyone is perfect.
you're going down a dark path now....lolDean was singing commie talk in that song. Not everyone is perfect.
Agreed. Not a huge sample size but the people from Alaska that I have come in contact with seem nice on the surface but once you interact with them you need to find the nearest exit. Bizarre conspiracy theories!!!Everyone I've met from Alaska is crazy. Not just off, but batshit crazy. It stands to reason they cannot understand regional nuances such as tomato pie.
