One of the nifty things about
American cuisine is that marvelous food
recipes from the world Over find a
meeting-place in it, melting to form new
mixtures that from time to time turn out
to be definite originals, worthy of note.
Into this original category must
certainly fall the gastronomic puzzlers
served at Godfather's Pizzeria, located
in the Glass Menagerie at 12th and Q
streets.
chvid wore
Strike up the band
Legend has it that once upon a time,
the pizza was nought more than a thin
circular crust spread 'with tomato puree,
tomato and cheese before baking.
Godfather's have taken this simpie
peasant dish and turned it into a
singular eating experience. Gone is the
stark, simplicity of tomato and cheese.
Instead, the diner is confronted with
pungent toppings such as mushrooms
and black olives.
So far, any fair pizzeria offers these,
so where lies the peculiar fascination of
the Godfather pizza? -
The answer, dear friends, is EXCESS.
Sheer unadulterated EXCESS. The crust
is thick and almost always of good
consistency. The cheeses and various
toppings, be they anchovies or olives are
ofuniform high quality and are always
heaped -on in astonishing quantities.
The result is a dish that fills even the
emptiest' stomach with alarming eager
ness. Salads are available, although on
corwded evenings, they have a strange
habit of disappearing quite early. Those
with weak stomachs are advised to order
one, if only to provide a change from the
hot cheese.
As a nice touch, both dark and light
uc-er are on tap, but at inflated prices.
However, little quibbles must be
swept aside in the final analysis, since it
is the pizza that is, the heart of the
matter at Godfather's. Therefore, one
may well ask, Is it art? Possibly. Is it
pizza? Perhaps, though marginally at
best. Is it good? The answer is this,
happily enough is a resounding yes.

the 60s. "King Lear" is his
second Shakespearean
