The Perfect Slice
By Katherine Garrison
As a general rule, I believe
there is no such thing as too much
cheese. Though, one time I ordered
a pizza with extra, and I swear
it was enough to make even
a rat sneeze. A greasy blanket
over top of pepperoni pillows.
Piquant, cured meat that meets
in harmony with briny olive,
and fresh green pepper,
or if you’re feeling spicier—
jalapeños. A pizza induced food coma
to follow. The stuffed crust slice
dreams are made of.
