We did this last year, and it proved so popular that I'm bringing it back this year. —AK

Inspired by an email from Slice'r Jesse G. from last year at this time, here's this year's Sentimental Favorite Pizzeria open(ish) thread. Jesse was visiting home in NYC from Chicago and wrote:

I went out of my way to hit Sal and Carmine's with the family. It was the only pizza place that I absolutely had to hit while home for the holidays. I would love to see a post asking people what that one place is for them since it goes in a slightly different direction than a lot of Slice content, which frequently involves people discussing which pizza places are the best rather than which are their sentimental favorites. Now, I realize the two are related but are different in important ways. A "home for the holidays" post would really show what places inspire that familial-like devotion and, possibly, tell us something about where many readers hail from. Anyway, just an idea.

If this is new to you, jump in — or if you just want to reminisce again ...
