Garden Plate: Pizza Party
An excerpt from Garden Plate:
New Jersey’s No. 1 pizza fanatic — it’s hard to imagine anyone more obsessed — lives in Hoboken, a good base of operations for pizza-eating forays into North Jersey and New York City.
Call Scott Wiener what you want — crazed, possessed, in serious need of a life — but you have to admire someone who has thrown himself so enthusiastically into his work, his mission. Which is to find the country’s best pizza. Not just accept the judgments of others, which you can find easily enough in the scores of pizza Web sites and blogs out there, but actually go out and sample pie from coast to coast.
“Pizza is such a basic, self-contained meal,” says Wiener, who in the past two years has visited 150 pizzerias in 20 states, recording everything for pizza posterity in his Pizza Journal. “It’s quick and easy and delicious. And there are so many variations; it’s a canvas with infinite possibilities.”
