I'm going to have to make my own. It's time to throw down the gauntlet and let the four winds blow.

England!
He's right about the hot wings, although you can buy them in supermarkets. They're just called Spicy Chicken Wings though.

I don't know Newcastle, Perry - I've only been there once - but I completely refute the fact you cannot get pizza in this country. The big (American) pizza chains are represented in every town for a start. If you're after Italian style pizza look no further than Pizza Express - it is a chain but the pizzas are similar in quality to anything you could buy in Rome. Menu here.

And there must be a decent Italian restaurant in a city that size. If you were down here I would recommend at least one for you, same with Leicester and Aylesbury, Bucks. We didn't have the same Italian immigration as the US, but we certainly had enough to leave us with Italian shops, delicatessens and restaurants.

Keep looking!

Keep looking!

My girlfriend and I finally found acceptable pizza, and Italian in general. It's a little family owned place called Roberto's la Dolce Vita. It's pretty close to Neapolitan pizza, so it's not bad, but not my favorite -- the minestrone was out of this world.

The American pizza chains, Dominos, Pizza Hut, etc. don't count. That is _not_ pizza, and barely qualifies as food. (Sorry, I lived in Upstate NY (more Italians than you can shake a stick at) for 10 years. I became a pizza snob.) The Chip/Kebab places serve a sort-of pizza. It's a little weird though.

Thanks for the Pizza Express suggestion. I'll try it out sometime. In the mean time, I'll take your advice and "Keep Looking."

I'll have to start a pizza thread later. I plan on making some home-made pizza soon. I just have to try to monopolize a kitchen during some weird, off hours.
