First things first, let me get it off my chest that I am a bit of a sissy boy. I do not like mushrooms, and I am not a fan of onions. I will got out of my way to avoid anything easily recognizable as either a mushroom or an onion.
Prior to meeting my wife, this was also my opinion of olives and peppers...now at least, I can see an occasional use for olives...and I actually like peppers. My parents would be so proud of their big boy.
For a long time, this meant the only acceptable pizza for me was an all-meat pizza, with the only variety being in the occasionally rotating in a Canadian Bacon and pineapple pizza. The last few years, I have actually come to enjoy the salty flavor of olives along with my meat...kind of tasty.
Tonight after work(since my wife and daughters were road tripping), I met my boss and some of my co-workers for some pizza and beer. They all know my complete and utter disdain for mushrooms and onions, so after a fair bit of good natured ribbing, I was eventually able to ensure that we ordered one pepperoni and pineapple pizza, and that the one of the other two pizzas was a Gyro pizza, hold the onion.
Folks, I gotta tell you...that Gyro Pizza, from Brick House Pizza in Richland, Washington, despite being pretty far from my 'typical pizza choice', we one of the tastiest pizzas I have had in a long, long time. Gyro meat, feta cheese, Tzatski sauce with tomatoes and lettuce.
Num, Num. It was really good, and I can't wait to have my wife try some soon,
