Thinking about it more... You should have gone to Papa Gino's in the first place.

you kidding, I'm going to go pick up the 35 Mama Celeste pizzas and still have money left over for a redbox movie. And to be honest, the pizza from Faro's wasn't anything special anyways, especially for the price (I dont eat pizza but thats what I was told). We will try Faro's for the pasta when we get the chance (I dont eat pasta either so I'll have to rely on my family for the critique).

Personally if I am going out to an Italian restaurant I do not want to hear any f-bombs in the background. "Che cazzo fai?!?" on the other hand is completely acceptable... especially if some line cook made something that looked like it came from Papa Gino's and tried to send it out of the kitchen calling it a "pizza."

Did We all lose sight of the fact that Faro is NOT specializing in Pizza !!

It is ONE (and only one) of their many menu offerings

That's an odd statement to make because this is what Faro's says on their web-site:

"Our most popular menu items are our pizzas, which cost $10 to $30. We make pizzas with sliced tomato, mozzarella cheese, and balsamic glaze. In addition, we offer handmade, gluten-free pasta. If you're looking to take our exquisite menu to your party, we offer catering that requires two weeks' to a month's notice."

Hey Rusty, is your building in the Weirs still available for lease?

I’m trying to get someone who will open a sausage factory there that only uses Pork, spices and a natural casing to hold them all together.
So far no luck.

There seems to be a few in the last 10 posts that present too much insight not to be personally involved in the food industry and(likely)/or have a stake in something.

It would be really nice/fair/honest if these people really revealed their actual position, then again, this is the real world, its its WAY too much to hope for....

My post falls within the specified 10 so I'll respond. I am not in the food industry and have no stake in this. I have spent some time in Italy, some of that in the kitchen with Italian friends. I have consumed serious quantities of pizza while there. Pizza in Italy does vary by region, but as yet I have not found any that resembles American pizza. The closest would be in Sienna which has a large presence of American students. If you like American deep dish then the comparison would be to Italian pizza rustica, it is somewhat similar but still not quite the same thing.

All that aside, my post was more cultural humor than critique. One cannot overstate how passionate Italians are about food and you will likely take some good natured ribbing if you prep something "wrong." And thus you all now know how to say wtf in Italian...

It wasn't you I was referring to, Vita had a good guess.

I have a friend that went to Italy and has said exactly the same things you did about Italian Pizza vs American. Thanks, I appreciate your input

I don't have a stake in any restaurant or business in NH.
My comment about the sausage factory was just to humor a fellow forum member.

Rusty I always thought you were the Rusty from the Meredith restaurant fame. Not correct?

Rusty is a phantom. Perhaps you are thinking of another forum member that owns a restaurant site in the Weirs.

Vita, what exactly is a phantom? I'm aware what the definition is, but what does it mean to be a "phantom" on the forum?

Nothing bad about Rusty but he/she hides their real identity well on this forum.
