O, thou poor benighted souls. Go thou and kneel before the Oracle of True Pizza in Houston: Fuzzy's. No one else is even close. Well, Carrabba's does a pretty good pie, but I usually avoid trendy restaurants like the plague. Fuzzy's is free of pretension (it's a _pizza joint_, not a place to be seen while grazing on your arugula and chipotle pepper salad) and their fresh tomato and garlic simply blows away Star, Uno, Birraporettis, and everyone else. Domino's isn't even worth mentioning. It's a tossup as to which is more hazardous to your health: eating their pizza or being on the same street with one of their drivers. Fuzzy's doesn't really cost much more than Domino's, but I guess if how quickly you can get it is more important than if it's actually fit for human consumption...

Ok, ok: so where IS this Fuzzy's place? Crossstreets would be fine, or even a rough description of the neighborhood.

Alas, it is pricey at the grocery store too -- I think it's something like $5 for about an 8 inch pizza. (So the Mucky Duck's $8 isn't too out of line.) But worth it if you're in the mood for that sort of pizza. Cathy -- Cathy Foulston + Rice University + Network & Systems Support + cathyf@rice.edu Actually I'm not clueless. I'm conceptually challenged.

I disagree; as my officemate just pointed out, it's kinda hard to fit cardboard in a fax machine. --paco P.S. My favorite pizza?

No one else is even close. Well, Carrabba's Jordan M Kossack (kossack@taronga.com), in the article to which I am responding, said he tried Fuzzy's and was "less than thrilled." We tried it out tonight. "Less than thrilled" is a good description of my reaction, as well. The Fuzzy's pizza--we ordered a deep-dish pepperoni & onion, large-- was good-sized. The crust had an excellent >texture<, but I didn't think it had much taste: it needed salt, or something. Good pizza crust should be tasty enough to be eaten all by itself. The pizza was cheesy--the way I like it--but there was some spice in the tomato sauce or the pepperoni that I didn't care for. Can't put my finger on it. On the other hand, the onions were cut large and obviously very fresh: a definite point-winner. I liked it enough to try it again. But I myself still prefer Star, or Pizzeri Uno, or Birra Poretti's, or.... William Porter * * * Classical Languages: University of Houston Internet: wmporter@jetson.uh.edu /or/ CompuServe: 75430,1351

No one else is even close.... Thanks for the suggestion. We tried Fuzzy's after the Rice/Texas game and enjoyed a GREAT PIZZA Feast. Ummm. Try the herbed whole wheat crust with your Fuzzy's special. The Greek Salad was good too. The owner is Syrian- Italian. This makes for a more interesting menu than STAR. STAR is good too but, their wait hasn't always been worth it. Fuzzy's is a mom and pop outfit, and they have only been in business for 3 months.... so your business it really appreciated there... So... Fuzzy's, Star, Barry's, Uno's, .... Pizza Hut, .....Dominos..Fax Paper.

Hate to ask a silly question since the answer probably passed me by in a "catch-up", but where exactly is Fuzzy's? Thanks! -- Kevin Skadron | Lightning never strikes twice, unless your skadron@owlnet.rice.edu | computer program is due tomorrow. Rice University | * My opinions are my own, dammit! *
