Right. as if the rest of this site isn't.

I watched the HBO documentary...this guy is as creepy as they come, and I don't creep easily by serial killer stories. His demeanor throughout an hour-long interview didn't change at all, whether he was discussing leaving live men to be eaten by rats, or talking about dinner with his wife and kids. Cold doesn't begin to describe him, I think it's on the HBO doc. on-demand thing, check it out...spooky.

I used to be a HUGE Esperanto's fan, recommended them to every new-comer to the neighborhood and am now embarrassed that I did so... things took a severe turn for the worse in the past few months. The Large pie is much smaller (I'm talking a delivered pie- not by the slice in the shop), the cheese seems low-quality and the dough is barely cooked. It just looks rushed and sloppy, all around. I've heard they're under new management, not sure how long.
It's a real shame, I used to CRAVE an Esperanto pie, so owners, if you're listening...please take some advice from a fan and follow the recipe/technique that many of my friends and I were so fond of about a year ago.

For now, I order from Carmine's if I want a pie delivered. They've been consistent, well-priced and damn good.

psssst. I heard a rumor..that lazy chihuahua from Santos y Ana has been quilting the expensive napkins that he stole from Basic together, and creating long, white t-shirts!!! don't be alarmed. he really just needs the dough.
