WHAT THE HELL DOES PIZZARIA REGINA ON THE NORTH END HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH BIKE RIDING?

Home of the best pizza on the face of the earth, the north end of Boston, Pizzeria Regina.

Nothing other than the fact that the pizza which comes out of these brick ovens is responsible for how gall damn slow I'm going to be on my bike this weekend. This is the home of the best pizza on the face of the planet, bar none. English is seldom spoken behind the doors here, and the pizza cooks have to worry about rainy days as the moisture swells the wood in the pizza ovens and forces the cooks to bake pizza at a higher temperature which can burn the bottom of the crust, see if the guys at Golden Oven in Eagle even know what the fuck I'm talking about right now...it's a resounding NO. If you are ever in Boston, and you do not stop here, you are missing one of life's true pleasures. I've been eating here since my bro moved to Boston some 30 years ago.

And then when in the Arlington Area, stop in and see Ben McGuire at Quad Cycles on Mass. Ave and talk Cross, great guy and a great shop.
