Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

The photo is a full, wide pie on an outdoor table: pepperoni, green peppers, black olives and mushrooms scattered to the edge of a thin, lightly charred crust.

The caption is just the name and a New York–pizza hashtag, which is its own kind of endorsement — the pie was the point, and Roger got it on camera before it disappeared. It is a straightforward record of a Hillcrest staple.
