Olive Oil's Pizzeria: Richardson

back in 1999 - when dallas was still a pizza hellhole, pre fireside pies + campania + coal vinesOlive Oil’s Pizzeria in garland seemed pretty damned good. Owner Frankie Funaro comes from a pizza-making family outside Pittsburgh (PA), and makes his crust, a-chewy-and-flavorful-thing ('least that’s how it seemed back in 1999). He even makes the bread for the subs. toppings are above average - fresh spinach, not frozen – and some pizzas have alternative sauces such as pesto or garlic (instedda tomato). The only prob was location: waay out at 30 & Belt Line, a hike unless you live in mesquite. Now there’s a new, second Olive Oil’s Pizzeria in Richardson, 1 mile W of 75. hoo-rah. And the pizza thing just keeps on mushrooming

581 W. Campbell Rd. #129, Richardson 972-480-9555

Let me be the first to tell you, before it hits every newspaper, TV and radio station in the country, that I have decided to end my relationship with Paramount and the quite embarrassing Sumner Redstone. I can excuse the man's disturbing likeness to Norman Fell and the fact that he barely cracks the Forbe's top 100 list of richest Americans, but I can't accept the fact that the man has no business sense. I mean, when you look at it, what has this guy ever done? Meanwhile, I've made myself into one of the most important Americans of all time. When history is finally written (correctly), you'll see my name, TOM CRUISE, at the top of the list.

TD: Tomatoes? You eat tomatoes???

TG: Loved the Prince video. Never noticed how stoned they all looked until today.

TC: Sumner Redstone may look like Norman Fell, but the Three's Company star never survived a fire by hanging onto a Copley Plaza window ledge until rescuers could arrive.

I ENJOY TOMATOES QUITE A BIT (ESPECIALLY CHERRY TOMATOES), AS ANY SENTIENT BEING OF ABOVE-AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE SHOULD.

YOU'LL NOTE THAT CATS DON'T EAT TOMATOES.

who's this blogger trying to pass as my sister? bipolar doesn't have computer access at her current address, and if she did, the arm restraints she has to wear would prevent her from using them.
