American Spirit Pizza

3.0

from Jackson Blvd Legendary Pizza

at home

-Changgok, Sujeong, Seongnam, Gyeonggi, Republic of Korea-

with W and IZ

Same pie from the same place, but not (see for comparison 16.192 American Spirit Pizza).  Unlike yesterday, the bacon here was flabby, undercooked.  The mushrooms were skimpy and thus inconsequential.  This wildly divergent result is puzzling – just compare the photos -given that these franchises strictly control the processes and amounts of toppings to ensure that every pie comes out exactly the same every time.

(Upon arriving home, I discovered that W had ordered an assortment of pies from Jackson Blvd, including an American Spirit, unaware that I’d eaten the same thing the evening before – as far as I can recall, this is only the second time in GMTD history to feature the exact same item twice in a row (see also 10.033 Shrimp and Scallops in Chilli Sauce, Again)).
