Welcome to Piehound.com

Welcome to Piehound.com, the only web destination devoted entirely to an ongoing love affair between a born & raised Chicagoan and the thousands of fine pizza pies created all across our fine city.

On an entirely random basis, I will be visiting Chicago pizza joints and sharing my thoughts on them with the world on this site. Occasionally I will also share my thoughts on other things I love in addition to pizza like beer, books, and public transport. Please check back often because as I am single and cannot cook (I have never even used my oven), I will surely be eating pizza more regularly than you can imagine.

For all the new readers out there, this site was initially created to report the legendary pizza and beer efforts of the Pizza Club of Chicago ("PCOC," pronounced "peacock"). While PCOC has suffered some tumultuous times of late and is currently defunct, the purpose behind PCOC's genesis remains as relevant as ever. As a result, the reviews from PCOC days past will remain on this site. And who knows, maybe someday PCOC will remake itself into a force unlike the pizza world has ever known.

But, for now, there is no PCOC. As a result, I am taking the immense responsibility of eating as much pizza as my heart can handle and as many good beers as my stomach will sustain, upon myself. I will surely be accompanied by a revolving cast of friends along the way, and I will always measure any pizza joint experience with some of the legendary nights of the PCOC past. But this is a new era, the era of Piehound.com.

(As for those of you who have read this far and are wondering where the naked girls are, please know that Piehound.com is not a sex site. The only porn on this site is pizza porn. And there will be no naked people pictures here. Not ever. Only pictures of fully sated, somewhat greasy, beered up pizza freaks like myself. And we promise to keep our clothes on.
Thank you. -The Ed.)

(P.S. If some rich porn purveyor out there is reading this and wants to buy the website name http://www.piehound.com/, please contact me. I will consider all reasonable offers that include a lifetime supply of pizza. And beer. Thanks again. -The Ed.)
