TL;DR — Prince Street Pizza squares are the 💣 Do you prefer corner or edge slices? ¶ The other day I joined @SeanTaylorUS in his #31DaysOfPizza project, which he’s been doing every year in October (#NationalPizzaMonth) SINCE 2002. 🙌 Sean’s goal is to eat at least one slice 🍕 from a different pizzeria each day, with at least one guest/friend/person. ¶ We met at #PrinceStreetPizza, where THE move is to go for one of their square slices. Any other pizzeria, we’d all be raving about their regular round #pizza, which is really quite good, actually, but the squares so eclipse it that if you’re having only one slice, which I was, you’d be a moron not to rock the rectangle. ¶ Sean ordered one each of the “Prince Perfection” (plain Sicilian) and the “Spicy Spring” (fra diavolo sauce and oodles of pepperoni). ¶ I had a #lightmeals vibe that day so I went with a single Prince Perfection—just cheese and sauce. But this is CRUCIAL: I asked for an edge slice. Not a corner. ¶ We waited, staked out a place at one of the ledges, and shot the breeze. I explained how I’d transitioned over the years from a corner connoisseur to an edgier guy. On pies like Prince Street’s, with a relatively thick border, you just get too much naked crust. I’m not even one of these economy-of-pizza dudes calculating square-inch coverage of cheese and sauce, I just want more balance. ¶ They called Sean’s order, he grabbed it, and we kept chatting while we waited for mine.… ¶ “Plain Sicilian!” ¶ Aha! … But … the woman behind me in line grabbed it before I could swim through the crowd to the counter. ¶ No biggie. I’ll just wait for the next… ¶ “And another plain Sicilian!” ¶ I stepped up to grab… UGH. Lady, you nabbed my edge slice! ¶ But, again, no biggie. Reframe the situation is what I did. This was a chance to try a corner slice again and evaluate whether I really did prefer edges. ¶ And, yes. Yes, I do. ¶ How ‘bout you? Corner or edge?
