    “I have to tell you this: some of the best pizza that I've had, I have to say, is even better than Salvatore's tomato pies. They're good, don't get me wrong, but the crust on these pizzas is amazing. The sauce is amazing. Another thing: if they were to move to Kansas, specifically Kansas City, Wichita, Kansas, and Topeka, they would dominate Domino's, Papa John's, Little Caesars, and Pizza Hut. They would take them all out of business. When I go home to Kansas, it's definitely going to be a disappointment when I go back to that pizza. I'm going to always think of Rocco's.”
