I looked him straight in his eyes.

“You guys have the best pizza!”
He was confused, but I didn’t care.

“One slice of the Hawaiian.”

Located in the seedy tenderloin, it is easy to bypass Pronto Pizza. The lack luster exterior simply did not scream pizza king.

For those from the suburbs, your pizza excursion includes an adventurous outing.

Grab a slice, hi-five Stacey the tranny, head over to an “Oriental Message” parlor. All in a days work.

While working at California Culinary Academy just a few blocks down, I can still recall my cubicle monkey days. We had a “meeting just to set another meetings.”

Each meeting we had Pronto Pizza, I ate at least four slices and that was the birth of my sake belly.

back to the present.

Caressing my Hawaiian pizza slice ($3.25) , the features still remain. No greasy residue, but instead, a dry crispy thin crust.

The savory ham slices balance so ever well with sweet pineapple. The cheese adds a nutty note.

One bite, I had reached comfort food heaven.

Tip: Pizza taste better straight out of the oven. Pizza delivered in cardboard box adds moisture from the heat making the crust soggy. Ask the pizza restaurant to cut a small hole (slither) as a vent.
