On a rather nice evening in Chicago a couple of weeks ago, my life is changed by two pizzas. It is at Great Lake, named by Alan Richman in a GQ article as the best pizza in America.
Pizza has been a large part of my life, as you can tell by my posting history. Today [...]
When it comes to food, I am very open-minded. I will give just about everything a try. But as Dirty Harry once said, man’s got to know his limitations. Enter, the Pizza Cone.
I know that the sharp folks in R&D think that America wants food “on the go” and “quick to prepare” (and yes, I [...]
Human beings are territorial creatures. Always have been. Which leads me to my next point: YOUR PIZZA IS AWFUL. No, really, I don’t like the pizza where you’re from. Be it New York City, Denver, Los Angeles, it’s not my pizza. It’s yours and it’s terrible.

Yes, a Susan Boyle themed pizza. The Scotsman reports that a bakery in Scotland called Sayers, has created the “Olive Boyle” pizza as a tribute to the exceptional skill of Susan Boyle in the categories of singing and acting really socially awkward .
Good lord that’s one hideous looking pizza. Now I understand the use of [...]

Domino’s recently unveiled a new pasta product: Bread Bowl Pasta. Yes, pasta PLUS a bowl made of bread. Talk about carb overload. Robert Atkins must be rolling over in his grave. (Note: the pasta is available without the bread bowl as well…but where’s the fun in that?)
There are 5 types of pasta available:

The other day, I received a small cardboard box in the mail. A small sticker affixed to the side told me to expect “Pizza Zing!” I was, as one would expect, excited.
Idea: Take the Big Three pizza toppings from any NYC pizza-eatery (Parmesan cheese, oregano, red pepper flakes) and combine them in one easy-to-use container. [...]

Pizza Hut has apparently decided to make a foray into the world of viral videos, enlisting Mediocre Films, the makers of the popular “Retarded Policeman” YouTube series. Apparently associating with a company whose top videos use the term “retarded” isn’t really a concern of Pizza Hut, as they’ve had Mediocre Films produce three videos for [...]

I mean, I like meat, but whoa. This is just too much. Lamb on a pizza? That’s a new one for me….

If you’ve been reading So Good for a while, you could probably speculate that Papa John’s wouldn’t be my biggest fan. After all, who knows how much money the company lost after So Good broke the Papa John’s/Lebron James/Crybaby story.
But where I criticize companies for boneheaded moves, I also praise them for a job well done, and Papa John’s has [...]
In February, when news of Barack Obama’s eating habits and favorite foods were scattered, sparse, and damn near impossible to find, So Good scoured the internet in order to put together a post on Barack Obama’s favorite foods. Since that time, I’ve seen the post widely cited in stories about Obama’s favorite foods, from blogs [...]
Newman’s Own is expanding beyond salads and snack foods, and have introduced new Thin and Crispy frozen pizzas. They will be test marketing them in five places: New England, Albany, NY; Milwaukee, WI; Minneapolis, MN; and Charlotte, NC. Additional test markets will be added in 2009, with a national launch planned for 2010.

Update: As Claudia points out in the comments, So Good was ALSO cited in the Express Blog Log a week or two ago. Specifically, on September 8th they quoted the post of one of So Good’s new contributors – Baraf’s post on the new breakfast options at Starbucks. Congrats to Baraf! I’ve also added the [...]

I’m going to start this rant by saying something that people need to acknowledge, but seem instinctively unwilling to do: Pepperoni pizza is not that good. I mean, yeah, it’s good, but it’s not THAT good. Seriously, it’s not. If you think it is, it’s time to get over it, and get [...]
When Papa John’s isn’t angering the city of Cleveland, they apparently have some other unique marketing ideas. This one seems designed in part to capitalize off all the attention that will be given to Denver as a result of the Democratic convention this year. As you fly in or out of the Denver airport now, [...]

The Onion News Network has a segment on researchers for Domino’s Pizza testing the limits of what types of food (presented as “pizza”) humans will eat. This would be even more funny if it wasn’t so scary accurate. A lot of these ideas you could actually imagine people eating. I blame anyone [...]

Spotted this little gem last week on one of my favorite new blogs, Fast Food Critic. It’s a vending machine from a company called Wonder Pizza that makes a full pizza for you in just 90 seconds – no microwaving, just a high intensity oven. Check it out:
