![]() With that in mind, I’m not going to wrap this series, but I am going to slow it down. I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t mind being pummeled by people after I tell the world (or at least this tiny part of it) that the pizza they make, or the pizza they prefer, is no better than Meh. No one wants that in print, and I do not blame them. ![]() No one likes to be told their pizza (fish, burger, burrito, etc and etc) isn’t any good. I had hoped to change those generic puff pieces, but in doing so, struck a nerve. It’s just a glowing non-review that lacks any substance. There’s never a grade applied to an effort. This area is used to puff pieces, like you’ll find in local magazines or newspapers. This is not an area that takes kindly to objective reviews. I had some shop owners lambast me for my honesty. ![]() I did take some heat for this pizza review series, just as I did for the fish fry series.

If you know to order extra sauce on a JoJo’s pizza, you’ll love it. If you like to order a pizza well done, you will love The Next Door Pub. I might dislike the sort of pizza you like. People don’t just go out for pizza, they want to go eat good pizza. This lies in stark contrast to the pizza series. Friday Fish Fry in Wisconsin isn’t about finding the best fish, it’s about going where you want to go. Never mind the odd potato pancake, you love it. If your dad took you to the Village when you were growing up, you take your kids to the Village. Going to fish fry isn’t about finding the best fish or the crispiest potato pancake. But after some time of visiting different restaurants and hearing commentary from the patrons who prefer certain establishments over another, I realized something. When I began the series, I had every intention of doing just that. Why, after so much fish and so many potato pancakes, I never declared the outright victor. Over the following weeks, I was often asked why I didn’t crown a winner. One year ago, I stopped writing fish fry reviews.
