Adam's quest

Adam has a quest so it has become my quest too.  (I'm always up for a quest.)

We are going to find the best pizza in the area.  We are taking this very seriously (because pizza is serious business).

We outlined a geographic area and are finding the best pizza in those parameters.  (My personal favorite is Brooklyn Brothers in downtown Everett and it's out of the area...actually my really real favorite is in New Haven, CT and that's waaaaay out of the area.)

At each place we are going to sample their cheese pizza and then their self appointed specialty.   We have a five star grading scale.  If you're thinking, those Davises certainly have a lot of time on their hands, that is not strictly true.  But we do have priorities, people.   And this is pizza after all.

Last Friday night we started the search.  Adam has long been intrigued by CanAm Pizza, complete with Canadian and American flags on their logo.

It is a takeout place so the atmosphere--which matters a lot to me--was less important.  (Although it still matters to me.)

The place was clean and didn't have a weird smell so that's good.  It was a sort of utilitarian mix of eclectic things.  I wouldn't say they put too much effort into making it aesthetically pleasing.

Adam surreptitiously snapped this photo while waiting to pay.  On the counter they had a fountain with a spinning golf ball in it.  The golf ball was partially decayed.  Also a stack of maps of Anacortes, WA.  Anacortes is 60 miles away but you never know when you may suddenly need a map while picking up your pizza.

We took the pizza to a park to sample it.

The cheese:

It was OK but the crust wasn't that great and you have to have good crust, right? I think Mark gave it more stars, but this isn't about Mark.

Their specialty, the "Ultimate":

I think it was more an attempt to clean out their refrigerator and get rid of leftovers than a carefully created recipe of ingredients that went well together.  It wasn't good. 

Of course we still ate it.  Life is like pizza, even when it's bad, it's good.

Here's what Adam made because he is awesome:

Braeden and Emma didn't participate because they weren't home.  Turns out that's an economical way to go.
