Summary:It's a stuffed pizza, with a golden crust on top of the thing. Inside, it's jammed with ham, sausage and pepperoni -- lots of it -- along with tons of cheese and very tasty sauce. It's an 18-incher, and the entire pie is nearly 2 inches deep. It weighs about 7 pounds. The chef places it before us with a sneer. "I'll get your box ready," he says. "Good grief, do you make many of these?" "More than you'd think." We dig in, and each of us is able to comfortably fi nish only a piece and a half (ask for warm marinara on the side for the crust, btw). Mind you, a single slice equals about three pieces from the ordinary pizza. The good news is that the Bomber ain't just big; it's also downright tasty. We enjoy every bite. But in the end, we admit defeat (hey, we're Leadbellies -- not pro wrestlers) and box up the remaining half a pie. The back of Brother Ron's SUV sags under the weight as we place it in the back. The Bomber runs you $3.75 a slice, or $19.99 for a whole pizza, if you end up paying for it. And unless you play middle linebacker someplace, you probably will. But that's OK. It'll be worth it.
