Spring football is over, the NFL Draft is over and it's time for something different. On this Buckeye Talk episode, Doug Lesmerises discusses the history of Columbus pizza with expert and author Jim Ellison, who just wrote the book, 'Columbus Pizza: A Slice of History.' Doug and Jim talk about the origins of Columbus pizza; how distinct is it as a style; why pepperoni is such an important part of the Columbus pizza experience; why the value of crust makes triangle pizza better; and WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE FOUR CRUSTLESS SQUARE SLICES at the center of a square cut pizza and is there someone on earth that actually enjoys them? But there's no fighting here. Just learning. No football on this one, but Jim Ellison will make this worth your time as a history, food and Ohio podcast episode, so give it a shot.
