Village Inn Pizza Challenge and Museum
Best pizza in the universe! And those who know me, and know my fondness of those savory pies, surely know that I do not say such things lightly. It's all about the perfect harmonious blend of sauce, crust, and cheese. Toppings are really secondary - any pizza joint can pile a bunch of fancy stuff on a pizza and call it "gourmet". However, as we all know, the true measure of the quality of a pizza parlor comes through the careful evaluation of its plain cheese pizza. Nothing to hide behind, just the 3 main components, delicately balanced, and shining forth.
This website chronicles my love of Village Inn Pizza and their history, documentation, and memorabilia that I have collected over the years, starting roughly in the summer of 2007.
From this main page, check out the links below for the original VIP Challenge - my quest to eat at all the currently-open VIPs within one year, then the Challenge Follow-up page, documenting some of the VIPs we have gained, and sadly lost since the original VIP Challenge of 2007, and finally the Village Inn Pizza Museum, housing years of collectibles from across the USA - matchbooks, menus, mugs, ash trays, and other promotional items throughout the years.
