    He was/is lead vocals in the Black Jacket Symphony for certain runs. He sang Eddie Vedder's parts when they performed Ten iirc.

    I think it's pies and pints that does a street corn pizza that's really good. I would not suggest anything else from there

    Also, Davenports too low.

    Davenports is great but it’s a little inconsistent. When it’s cooked well and the crust has that cracker crunch I love it, but I’ve had some underdone pizzas from there that were kind of bad.

    I don’t live in Bham anymore but Davenports was like a quarterly craving. Loved it so much from time to time.

    Pizza Grace and Bettola types are clearly better but as far as the next rung down, it’s the closest thing we got going to an Antico type style.

    got to say "The Edge" in Homewood has been a delightful surprise. big terf area for kids to play. lots of good food and bev options. massive screen for games. seems like they have worked most of the kinks out. it is a hidden gem for now but have a feeling it will be a complete shit show this spring.
