Paul:
I think I ate at Coccia House in Wooster and consumed vast quantities
of pizza. As I recall, it was really good pizza. I had forgotten
the name of the place until you reminded me of it. Maybe I got
confused and thought the place was Your Pizza Shop. Was there also a
Your Pizza Shop in Wooster?
Maybe we should nominate Coccia House for best pizza in
Wayne County and Luigi's for best pizza in Summit County.
Maybe we need a blind tasting contest next year to determine which
pizza is best. I read somewhere that Ohio leads the nation in per
capita consumption of pizza. So it must be good.
I found the winner of the American Pizza Championships in 2005/2006
was a place called Jason Samosky's Pizza in Valley City, Ohio in
Medina County. It's a small town of about 400, just west of Hinckley
(the place where the buzzards return to every year). I think Valley
City also has Frog Jumping Championships. I've never been there but
think it might be worth a trip to taste the pizza.
Speaking of food, does anyone remember the Floating Henryburger place
between Riceland and Wooster on US 30? I always thought that was a
dumb name for a restaurant, and apparently it was because it
disappeared.

I have to disagree on this one. Cocia House (spelling?) in Wooster
was and
is our favorite. We still have is sent UPS to NC for special
occasions.

Subject: [dalton59] Luigi's Pizza on South Main Street in Akron
We used to go to Akron after football and basketball games to
Luigi's
Pizza on South Main Street. That was the best pizza in the area. My
niece from Ohio sent me some Luigi's pizza a couple of years ago
(packed in dry ice ready to re-heat) and it was as good as I
remembered
it to be.
I tried to find the Luigi's once after returning to Ohio. That
place
is hard to find but well worth the effort.
Anyone else remember Luigi's? Ohio pizza sure beats Texas pizza
anyday.
Another good pizza place was Your Pizza Shop in Massillon (and I
think
also in Wooster). Not sure it's still in existence. I liked the
pepperoni and banana pepper combo.
Those were the days. A pizza for a couple of bucks.
