patriotic pizza box - only in America
Jon and I arrived back in NJ last night to celebrate Passover and his (amazing) grandmother’s 95th birthday.
Busy all day today helping Jon’s family prepare seder for 35 this evening, Jon and I treated ourselves to pizza for lunch. Of course, this being Passover, our beloved NY-style pizza is verboten. Luckily, this is the Tri-State area (read: full of Jews), so the local pizzeria offers a matzoh pizza for Passover.
When our pizza arrived, I was highly amused to find the US flag emblazoned on the pizza box. Only in America.

And this, my friends, is a matzoh pizza. It’s actually not too horrible a substitute for the real deal during these leaven-free days. It’s a crisp, thin crust, at least.
Happy Passover and Easter to you and yours.
I love that pizza box – if you find a “God Save the Queen” fish and chips box, be sure to take a picture.
I’ve never even thought of matzoh pizza – looks pretty tasty though (and sounds a little like Machu Picchu).
Happy Passover!
Andy – will do. And if you were a New Yorker deprived of pizza for a week, you’d come up with matzoh pizza pretty quickly, I’ll bet. That it sounds like Machu Picchu is definitely icing on the cake.
It’s funny how living outside of the US for a number of years will allow you to appreciate the things that make America truly ‘special’, i.e. pizza boxes with patriotic flags containing matzoh pizza! God bless us every one…
Love the photo and the (as usual) clever blogging. Back to reading about restaurants…

Diana – admit it – the pizza box and matzoh pizza are making you miss life in the Jerz. LOL.
