A feast, er, not fit for this Cicerone?

Or, maybe it's a good test for a Cicerone!Behold Coney Island Pizza!

(I apologize in advance to all the Coney Island lovers out there. I'm just not one of them. If I'm going to eat a hot dog, it has to be plain. With a little ketchup maybe. Australian-style.)

I was invited to share said pizza by my young work-colleague-and-aspiring-homebrewer Nik one evening at work. Okay, I did protest mildly, but I could hardly refuse such an earnest invitation to share this dish that was so dear to Nik's heart. It even came with a disclaimer- "I know you'll say no at first, but please, just give it a try."
And it was okay. Really. But I couldn't have eaten the whole pizza.

Stay tuned for the "Beta Drive" review. That's Nik's, and his buddy Justin's homebrewed mango IPA that we're going to try in the next few days......
