Went to Umberto & King Umberto today for some pizza. They are both known for their grandma slices. Supposedly owner of Umberto invented it back in the day. Frank Pinello of Best Pizza in Williamsburg, Brooklyn linked up with both of them & their 3rd partner and made a neat little video.
All the slices were pretty good. Umberto has a far better grandma slice. Loved that the regular slices weren't too thin & had some thickness to them as I prefer it that way.

Is Little Caesars any good? I don't think I've had them since the early 90s.

Back in the 90s they were making their dough in house. Only a few locations do that nowadays. Most are reheating frozen parbakes.
Example of their deep dish w/ fresh made in house dough

Haven't posted in here in a bit as there hasn't been any new spots to try in my area...except this past Saturday! Was at the monthly Pottstown Nights car show with friends. Since we were going to be there for many hours (our cars were in the show of about 1200 cars) we needed to get an early dinner before it got BUSY! My buddy wanted to try a new spot ... Nicky's and Ant's! I too wanted to try their pizza. They have both round and square pies. Pics on their IG page looked impressive and delicious! Well....I can honestly say, IT DEFINITELY IS!!
It was AMAZING!! They were only selling the square (so I'm heading back with more of my car circle friends this Friday for lunch to try the round) is not thick at all. Just a little thicker than the round. But it's so light and airy. They use really high end flour they import and all their ingredients are top notch. It was SO FREAKING GOOD!
Thought that would be the end of the story but it got better. The one owner Nick, he comes out and delivers the pizza to each table. When I saw it I was blown away. So he and I started talking about where I'm from, and I tell him all the pizza in my town sucks. He then get his business partner our and we all start talking and they ask me my favorite spot (Johnny's of Bryn Mawr) which after I tell him, he says he's great. Then I tell him other top spots in the Philly suburbs area, and also my favorite Jersey Tomato Pie spot, and he knew I was serious
I flat out told him I'm a pizza snob and will drive 2-3 hours for GOOD pizza, no lie. He's blown away.
Also tell him that before this year I really couldn't eat it for years without serious pain due to Crohn's Disease, but since the new year I could eat pizza with no issues after having surgery
So he asks me if I'm gonna be around for a while. Said, yes, as we have our cars in the show, and we're gonna get for a bit. So he double checked about sesame seeds (I can't) as their rolls for cheesesteaks have them but he uses them on his tomato pie crust. He proceeded to make me a free tomato pie! 
And boy it beautiful looking and killer!!
I proceeded to share this with my friend (he has his own full size pie) and a young couple next to us sharing a cheesesteak. Brought the rest back to my car and shared with my other friends. Amazing food and hospitality from the guys at the shop! I can't wait for Friday.
Oh, and obligatory pics of my car and my friend's car!

Been too lazy to actually venture to Prince Street Pizza so tried it at citifield during another Mets loss. Was almost $14 for a slice. Delicious but was dense and they didn't even heat it up.

$14 a slice is insanity! I know it's more being it's at the ballpark but, damn!
