Be sure to sample St. Louis-style pizza. Being from St. Louis, I'm quite used to it, but my friends from elsewhere claim it's repulsive. The most unique factor is the Provel cheese, which is found almost exclusively in the greater St. Louis area: http://www.andrewmarkveety.com/2010/08/a-brief-history-of-pr...
As someone not from St. Louis, I can confirm that Provel cheese is indeed repulsive. My friend swears that it is manna from heaven. I swear that it is burnt plastic.
It's okay in moderation but like any cheese food, it's more of an aside than a main thing. It's okay raw in small quantities on a strongly flavored Italian salad and okay on pizza as long as you put bacon or something on it and are not only tasting cheese.
It's like a block of Velveeta, it's okay if you're using it in a dip and throwing tons of peppers and other stuff in there but to cut it up and stick toothpicks in it? Kind of curdles my stomach. Provel is the same way.

#70OK, I haven't had time to download the app, but was curious about the description > PIZZA COMPASS IS THE EXCITING NEW LIFE-AFFIRMING IPHONE APP THAT HELPS PIZZA GET TO YOUR MOUTH. CREATED BY A HIGHLY SPECIALIZED TRAINED TEAM OF PIZZA EXPERTS. EXPERTS WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT LIFE, LOVE, AND FRIENDSHIP. The screenshots featured famous pizzerias...so is the data "curated" by the pizza-compass staff? Or does it rely on…
This is really overthinking it, IMO. This app isn't a shot at Yelp or an attempt to disrupt the pizza space... It's a joke. You pay a dollar, you get a pizza compass. I think it's hilarious. The quotes on their page about "life-affirming" and "some people might say this is the most important app... ever" tell me that whoever made this app just wanted to have a bit of a laugh.
Wow. It just goes to show how immune I've gotten to startup pitch ideas and their templates. The text that I copied and pasted is obviously a joke ("EXCITING NEW LIFE-AFFIRMING IPHONE APP") and yet my brain mentally skipped over it as just being thats-what-all-apps-said and tried to evaluate the technical part of an app.
I'm going to blame it on the all-caps throwing blinders on my brain this morning
