"I 've been eating Vesuvius pizza since childhood. Businesses come and go, which is further exacerbated because of things out of our control. That is to say, for Vesuvius Pizza to stay strong in the neighborhood tells you all you need to know. When there were other pizzerias added to the area, I genuinely thought, those owners are bold and ambitious to try to take over any foot traffic. Because you can put gold flakes in your slice for all I care, nothing beats a classic neighborhood spot."
