1
00:00:05,533 --> 00:00:10,233
>> AN APPETIZING NEW MUSEUM

2
00:00:06,566 --> 00:00:11,533
OPENED UP IN CHICAGO.

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:15,133
WE VISITED THE U.S. PIZZA MUSEUM

4
00:00:10,233 --> 00:00:17,300
TO CHECK OUT THE MENU.

5
00:00:11,533 --> 00:00:19,066
HERE IS JAY SHEFSKY WITH THE

6
00:00:15,133 --> 00:00:21,833
STORY.

7
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:23,866
[♪♪♪]

8
00:00:19,066 --> 00:00:25,633
>> THE MUSEUM IS LOADED WITH

9
00:00:21,833 --> 00:00:27,833
UNUSUAL INGREEDIENTS.

10
00:00:23,866 --> 00:00:28,166
THEY ALL COME FROM THE

11
00:00:25,633 --> 00:00:30,666
COLLECTION OF A CURATOR WITH A

12
00:00:27,833 --> 00:00:32,266
CRAVING.

13
00:00:28,166 --> 00:00:35,400
>> THIS ALL STARTED AS MY

14
00:00:30,666 --> 00:00:37,833
PERSONAL PIZZA COLLECTION OF

15
00:00:32,266 --> 00:00:40,833
STUFF THAT GOT OUT OF CONTROL.

16
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:43,133
AND NOW I HAVE IT SETUP IN A

17
00:00:37,833 --> 00:00:44,433
WAY THAT IT TELLS THE STORY HOW

18
00:00:40,833 --> 00:00:45,000
I AM GRANTS BROUGHT PIZZA TO

19
00:00:43,133 --> 00:00:46,766
AMERICA AND IT SPREAD THROUGHOUT

20
00:00:44,433 --> 00:00:47,100
THE COUNTRY.

21
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,066
AND WE HAVE A SPOTLIGHT ON

22
00:00:46,766 --> 00:00:51,500
CHICAGO.

23
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:53,733
BUT IT IS REALLY ABOUT PIZZA

24
00:00:49,066 --> 00:00:54,966
THROUGH THE U.S. AND WE HAVE

25
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:57,333
MEMORABILIA, MENUS, RECORD

26
00:00:53,733 --> 00:00:59,500
ALBUMS, TOYS ANYTHING THAT YOU

27
00:00:54,966 --> 00:01:03,433
CAN THINK OF RELATED TO PIZZA.

28
00:00:57,333 --> 00:01:06,666
SOME OF THE RARE THINGS THAT WE

29
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:09,466
HAVE INCLUDE AN OLD PIZ REAUNO

30
00:01:03,433 --> 00:01:12,600
MENU FROM THE 60s THAT SHOWS A

31
00:01:06,666 --> 00:01:13,933
LARGE PIZZA WAS $2.60.

32
00:01:09,466 --> 00:01:15,966
AND WE HAVE SOME McDONALD'S

33
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,733
PIZZA MEMORABILIA.

34
00:01:13,933 --> 00:01:19,666
THEY EXPERIMENTED WITH PIZZA IN

35
00:01:15,966 --> 00:01:20,000
THE 90s.

36
00:01:16,733 --> 00:01:22,866
I LOVE ALL THE ART INSPIRED BY

37
00:01:19,666 --> 00:01:25,200
PIZZA.

38
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:27,300
WE HAVE ONE OF A KIND CREATIONS

39
00:01:22,866 --> 00:01:30,300
THAT ARTISTS MADE.

40
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:32,733
A NEEDLE POINT OF PIZZA.

41
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:36,133
I LIKE HOW THAT IS MANIFESTATION

42
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:37,700
OF PEOPLE'S ENTHUSIASM ABOUT

43
00:01:32,733 --> 00:01:39,500
PIZZA AS ART.

44
00:01:36,133 --> 00:01:41,966
>> THERE WAS A BACKLASH TO THE

45
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:44,600
MUSEUM ON TWITTER WHEN THE NEW

46
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:46,433
YORK CITY MAYOR'S OFFICE

47
00:01:41,966 --> 00:01:47,833
DECLARED DEEP DISH IS NOT PIZZA.

48
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:50,200
>> I JUST TAKE FOR GRANTED THAT

49
00:01:46,433 --> 00:01:52,566
ALL PIZZA IS GREAT.

50
00:01:47,833 --> 00:01:55,433
AND WHETHER IT'S DEEP DISH OR

51
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:57,066
NEW YORK OR NEW HAVEN OR ANY

52
00:01:52,566 --> 00:02:00,200
STYLE OF PIZZA I ENJOY THEM ALL.

53
00:01:55,433 --> 00:02:00,800
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND I REALLY

54
00:01:57,066 --> 00:02:03,133
UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE REACTED SO

55
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,466
STRONGLY.

56
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,833
BECAUSE PIZZA IS PERSONAL FOR

57
00:02:03,133 --> 00:02:07,133
PEOPLE.

58
00:02:03,466 --> 00:02:07,433
>> THE MUSEUM IS LOCATED OFF

59
00:02:05,833 --> 00:02:09,233
ROOSEVELT ROAD SOUTH OF THE

60
00:02:07,133 --> 00:02:10,100
LOOP.

61
00:02:07,433 --> 00:02:13,566
ONE THING IT DOES NOT HAVE IS

62
00:02:09,233 --> 00:02:15,500
ACTUAL PIZZA.

63
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:17,266
WE VISITED NEARBY CONNIE'S PIZZA

64
00:02:13,566 --> 00:02:20,066
FOR A LOOK AT THE STYLES OF

65
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:21,066
PIZZA APPRECIATED IN CHICAGO.

66
00:02:17,266 --> 00:02:22,866
A CITY WHERE IRONICALLY THIN

67
00:02:20,066 --> 00:02:25,000
CRUST IS PREFERRED.

68
00:02:21,066 --> 00:02:25,733
>> WE WILL TRY TO GET PIZZA

69
00:02:22,866 --> 00:02:30,033
TRUCKS AND WOOD FIRE OVENS

70
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,466
OUTSIDE THE MUSEUM.

71
00:02:25,733 --> 00:02:32,766
BUT I WANT PEOPLE TO VISIT A

72
00:02:30,033 --> 00:02:34,200
LOCAL PIZZERIA AND HAVE IT AT

73
00:02:31,466 --> 00:02:36,233
THE SOURCE.

74
00:02:32,766 --> 00:02:36,566
>> FOR THE TIME BEING IT IS THE

75
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,666
ONLY KNOWN PIZZA MUSEUM ON THE

76
00:02:36,233 --> 00:02:40,366
PLANET.

77
00:02:36,566 --> 00:02:41,866
BUT IN NEW YORK CITY AN

78
00:02:38,666 --> 00:02:43,133
UNAFFILIATED OF PIZZA IS

79
00:02:40,366 --> 00:02:45,066
SCHEDULED TO OPEN IN OCTOBER.

80
00:02:41,866 --> 00:02:46,700
I WILL CHECK IT OUT.

81
00:02:43,133 --> 00:02:47,600
I THINK THERE SHOULD BE PIZZA

82
00:02:45,066 --> 00:02:52,200
MUSEUMS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

83
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:54,066
>> FOR "CHICAGO TONIGHT" THIS IS

84
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:56,033
JAY SHEFSKY.
