Don't ask me how in the hell it happened. But the little ass town of "Old Forge" (about halfway between WB and Scranton) which is barely larger than Swoyerville did in fact win a worldwide competition to be declared "Pizza Capitol of the World" for having the best tasting style of Pizza. So now Old Forge "style" pizza has become an actual tourist attraction for them lmao

This is called PAGACH
