I think it would have been around 1991 that my city in England got its first pizza outlet. Not long after it got its first McDonald's. Probably around the time the Turtles were appearing in the media. Of course, in England they were officially Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles as "ninja" was a naughty word. It wasn't like we were lacking in Italian food. Pasta was a major staple at our home. My only memory of pizza prior to that was a trip to Boston, MA, 1988 (?) where I accidentally ordered an entire "small" pizza from one of those places that I noticed (in hindsight) everyone was ordering by the slice. The staff all looked at me funny and double-checked I really wanted a "small" pizza. I thought they meant it was going to be too tiny for a husky chap like me. This pizza when it arrived was enough to feed a small British family for a week :D
