Secrets of the City

I’m a Rec Room Monarch, apparently. And that sounds about right.

I’m a Heartier Partier. All rightie then.

Don’t mess with us “Different Drummers”! We’ll mess you up!

Sadz. It won’t load for me. Must be firewalled on my end.

Heartier Partier here…I must admit I do like the Greek Pizza at Umbria quite a lot.

You and I should split a pie and and pitcher, ryanol.

I also am a heartier partier! HIGH FIVES!

@justpbob do they still have Rocky Rococco Pizza…if so I vote for there…crappy pizza buffet and 3.2 beer pitchers.

I got interrupted with work and don’t have time to complete this quiz. I can tell you I’m the thin crusty type, and am game for any topping as long as it is delicious.

“I’m the thin crusty type, and am game for any topping as long as it is delicious.”

That’s what she said!

Yes, that IS what I said. I was talking about foo… oh wait. Crud.

I’m pretty happy with this story — sadly though, my efforts to undermine Myers Briggs seem to have gone unnoticed.

Anybody have any feelings about Myers-Briggs, the, in my opinion, reductive and occasionally destructive personality quiz, and whether this helps my stealthy cause of undermining it?

(I say it’s destructive to the extent that some HR people take it as God’s law and use it as a big part of the hiring process.)

This test is a fraud. It said I should go to “Punch”? What is that? Any pizza quiz invented in the last 10 years that purports to tell me I should go anywhere other than the Savoy on E 7th is defective.

Gruntled it sounds like you don’t know whats best for you!

Tried it already, it was total fail.

Then I found this gem:
“There is, in fact, one place in the Twin Cities that knows how to make a deep-dish pizza. The place is called Leonardo’s, in Mahtomedi… Also Try: Pizza Luce”

So if you want Chicago-style without the long drag to White Bear, much less Chicago, grab yourself a tofurky and phony pepperoni ‘za from your neighborhood Luce?

Dara, I noticed! I like my personality part of the description more than the pizza part.

In fact, I decided to take the quiz again (I took it yesterday the first time) and I got a completely different response: the Bookish Sensualist. This makes sense, as every time I take the Myers-Brigg I get a different response, too.

So, I guess that makes me a Hearty Bookish Sensual Partier. I can live with that.

Well, little I do is perfect — though I do pour a good glass of wine now and then.

And I’m far too old to get between a Pizza Lucé hater and the nearest exit. The idea of the two was more about iconoclasm… I would in fact argue that we have the most iconoclastic, eccentric, unnoticed pizza-culture in the universe.

Do you know how many people in this state are busy putting bread-and-butter sliced pickles on pizza? And I didn’t even have room for the really weird pizzas I encountered, like the stringbean one at Figlio (the chefs were feeling resourceful and substituted stringbeans for promised ‘fresh herbs’. They also threw in caramelized onions as a perk.) Anyway, the one thing I would ask of you: If anyone ever asks you to take Myers-Briggs seriously, just close your eyes and think of pizza.

Dara- Regarding Chicago-style deep dish, I’d check out Randy’s Premier or Aurelio’s, both are not far from Leonardo’s. I’ve tried Leonardo’s about 5 times and found there are many, much better choices around the northeastern suburbs.

I’m indifferent to Luce, they just don’t have any offering you could pass off as a substitute for a stuffed Chicago pie.

I’m ANCL, THE THOUGHTFUL SENSUALIST. So I’ll have to try Crave. I thought the PPTI was pretty ingenious, but I also liked the search for the perfect doughnut from the month before.

If you want weird pizza, go to Japan.

ANPL. I don’t know why, because I prefer the simplest of pizza: Pepperoni! But if someone wants to order more, well … And the bacon double-cheeseburger pizza (with dill pickles) from Umbria intrigues me.

Sadz. It won’t load for me. Must be firewalled on my end.

Don’t sweat it, it always happens the first time you meet teucer’s mom.  It’ll go away.

I’m an ITPL, which is about right.
