“Unless you are a pizza,
the answer is yes,
I can live without you.”
Bill Murray

I wanted to find the best pizza around,
since options for excellent pizza abound.
I thought I should start in the east — in New York.
I ordered a pizza with sausage (from pork).

I have to admit it was really quite good.
It tasted delicious, as all pizza should.
So then I moved on. There was much to be done
to find the best pizza pie under the sun.

I went to Chicago to locate a place
where I could find pizza that I could embrace.
They claim that their pizza is better than most.
I tried it. They really have nothing to boast.

A quick stop in Denver, and then in L.A.,
were quite disappointing. What more can I say?
In Denver, they added a cucumber topping.
I truly regret that I wasted time stopping. 

Los Angeles isn’t a place to get pizza.
They told me that they’d never heard of linguiça!
“Would you like chorizo?” I heard someone say.
My last stop would be where I live — San José.

Eureka! I found it! A nice little space.
On Stevens Creek Boulevard there is a place
which offers, by far, the best pizza around.
The service and food there will simply astound.

My journey is over. The answer is clear.
The best crafted pizza and excellent beer.
I traveled the country, from east coast to west.
Tony & Alba’s is simply the best!
