In 2012…I gave up eating meat. There are two Pizza’s that haunt me to this day.
If you eat meat…you should try making these two pizzas at home. Or better yet go to the North End in Boston for the first one…

Regina’s…. I was on a Boston layover cruising around the North End and it began to rain. I slipped into a Pizza Joint called Regina’s. They have many locations…but the north end location is the original. I sat at the bar and was served by Ted Williams (like the baseball player….but younger). I had the St. Anthony’s pizza. OMG. White Pizza with peppers, onions, Italian sausage, basil, garlic sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan. Probably my all time favorite. Cooked in a gas fired brick oven that is what Ted calls the “Stradivarius of pizza ovens”.
The next Pizza I came across flying to Santiago, Chile. Our flights were all-nighter’s…which messes up your body clock. So, we wind up at the hotel in the morning and go out for dinner. There was a pizza place a few doors down that had a pizza called the “Mero Macho”. It has tomato sauce, creama de Aji, garlic, two fried eggs, country style bacon, and mozzarella. With a cold draft beer…. I know…Pizza for breakfast? Yeah, I know I’m not the only one. But careful this one. There are so many other versions which they call Mero Macho. Even an ED medicine called Mero Macho. The breakfast pizza with bacon and eggs is the one I really used to like having.
