Pizza memories

Some friends and I had pizza for supper this evening as an unplanned divergence from our original goal. We were going to eat at one of our favorite Mexican places but when we got there we discovered they had closed early in honor of Super Bowl Sunday. Well, deciding not to go hungry we went to Clara's Pizza instead. I haven't been to Clara's for a couple of years so it was a real treat.  We had the "Meat Feast" on a thin crust and it was excellent. As we ate we reminisced about the early days of pizza in our lives. It turned out that for two of us the first pizzas we ever remember having were made from the good old Chef Boy R Dee box mix. As I recall the mix consisted of dough mix, tomato sauce and grated cheese. If you wanted toppings (toppings???) you could buy some pepperoni slices. Those were pretty stark pizzas compared to what we enjoyed today. Oh, it had the crust, tomato sauce (not too heavy) and cheese, but it also had ground beef, ham, pepperoni, bacon, ham and sausage. Now that's a pizza. I won't wait so long to go back to Clara's.
