I grew up near a town in upstate NY who's claim to fame was the Endicott-Johnson Shoe Company, and the birthplace of a little company called IBM. Many, many polish, italian & irish immigrants settled there. My introduction to pizza was at a little italian "hole in the wall" where an old grandfatherly guy called "Duff" hand-made pizzas & cooked them in an old coal oven. I got spoiled with that pizza, and with the exception of Lombardo's in NYC, I've never found a pizza that could match Duff's. Doesn't mean that I don't eat or don't like pizza, but I've never found anything that I liked as much as his.
