Name a dish more universally beloved than pizza.
Besides burgers, maybe, there's not much else that rises to the same level of ubiquity. A dish borne from the resourcefulness of impoverished Italians who topped their focaccia bread with tomatoes, pizza has since become a vehicle of cultural and culinary fusion.
For the Inlander's Pizza Issue, we set out to make sense of the expansive pizza offerings across the Inland Northwest. In the pages to come, find some lighthearted pieces about pre-made frozen varieties, and the pizza-ish flatbread. We also offer an overview of the main regional pizza styles, where to find a great deal on slices, and some of our own favorite pies on menus around the region.
It's pretty impressive how many unique pizza creations are available to local diners these days, from standard delivery fare to fancier, wood-fired versions. So, tell us: What's your fave? Drop us a line at [email protected].
