Perfect pepperoni

Me-n-Ed's Pizza Parlor here in my home town of Burnaby, B.C. served me the first pizza I ever ate. In the intervening thirty years or so, I've tried pizza all over this city, across Canada, and even in New York and Italy. Me-n-Ed's still beats them.

If you get a chance, try the Me-n-Ed's pepperoni (on sale Mondays), with mushrooms and green pepper if you like. I'm not sure who makes the sausage for them, but it's excellent, and when baked in the custom Me-n-Ed's oven, the thin quarter-size slices crisp up and curl slightly at the edges. The crust is thin, yet light and crispy. The combination is nearly magical.

The website is simple, but highly informative too. And I'm eating some of that pepperoni pizza right now. Mmmm.
