What a great article and trip down memory lane. I grew up in the 50s in Iowa and remember well the first (and only) pizza place in our town while I was growing up. What I also remember fondly, somewhere in there we were introduced to boxed Chef Boyardee pizza kits with their little envelopes of dry bad, salty cheese. It was great fun at slumber parties and family game nights. At the time, they were really quite good and you could feel exotic and experiment with various ingredients and toppings.
