My culinary masterpizza!

I couldn't resist taking a shot of this Greek-inspired pizza that I threw together. It looks good, doesn't it? There's nothing like a good home-made pizza. I am kind of a pizza snob - I am from New York and of course NY style is my favorite, but I am open to many different styles and flavors. But pizza, especially delivery pizza, has become so expensive and so uninspiring in taste, that I can't bring myself to spend money on it. Therefore, I get a big kick out of making my own brand!

So the depth of field is a bit narrow here, but what ingredients can you see on this pie?

(It was delicious, by the way) :)

Have I gone to heaven?

What? Two of my favorite things in one place - pizza and gyros!? This is J & G pizza in Sylvania, Ohio. And yes. I tried both the pizza and the gyro. Both amazing. The gyros are done right!!! Not the most feminine thing to eat as most of it gets on your face and hands, but it's just not as much fun eating with a knife and fork.

This shot would have been a lot more fun if I had my tripod with me - lots of lights all over this quaint Main Street - a nice neon glow. Instead I shot it hand held, and captured the signs as they were colorful, and pretty much screamed out to me - "DINNER IS READY!"
