What You Say

WISHFUL THINKING

As long as soccer keeps serving up those enthralling 1-0 and 0-0 games, the sport will never see the advertisers, TV time and, most importantly, attendance.

Wow! Can't believe Allegro Pizza near Belmont and City Line Avenue didn't make this story [Cover Story, "Waiting For Good Dough," Drew Lazor, July 22]. Sadly, most of the places you mention don't sell pizza by the slice, which is how pizza should be sold. Cheap, quick, easy and delicious: That's a key piece to the "good pizza" puzzle that most places in Philly haven't gotten down. I don't want good pizza that I have to sit down and pay a waiter for and my bill comes to at least $30. That's not the idea.

My congratulations to you on a great pizza piece. The best pizza ever had in this city, in my estimation, was at a place on 16th and Market (and various other locales) in the 1960s called King of Pizza. It has never, ever been duplicated. Further, because journalism is a sacred trust, Hy Lit did not blast, from the stage, Tommy James & The Shondells and shout out the dozen-plus pizza parlors vying for audience-selected honors at the South Philadelphia Review's Pizzalympics. Hy Lit passed away on Nov. 18, 2007. Your editors and fact-checkers must have been eating at King of Pizza.

In last week's cover story ["Waiting For Good Dough," Drew Lazor, July 22], reference is made to DJ Hy Lit spinning at the South Philly Review Pizzalympics. The DJ was in fact Sam Lit of Hy Lit Radio. City Paper regrets the error.
