A Dig editor ventured south of Landmark Center once - and was never heard from again

The Weekly Dig's Boston Slice is allegedly "a comprehensive list of slices available around the city" yet doesn't list a single place south of the Fenway - although Cambridge does merit several mentions. Even the Upper Crust in Brookline fails to rate a listing. Oh, well, I guess the secret is out: Down here in the boonies, a fun night out consists of going over to the nearest crick and wrasslin' up some gators and squirrels. Them's good eatin'.

Why bother goin' down tuh thuh crick? You can jus' go out'n grab a flatty from duh ruhd.
An' iffen yer lucky ...
You don't even hafta leave duh house.
In fairness to the Dig...
...it was the College back to school issue and it reviewed places to get slices near campuses. I mean, if you want drunk college kids swarming your local joint for a slice, I guess you have a gripe. Otherwise, you might have a blessing in disguise.
Yeah, I know
Having moved from Brighton to Roslindale, I can certainly appreciate our non-studentness. I'm just touchy on the subject of our own local Mason-Dixon line.
But the Dig did leave UMass Boston off the list
They love Dorchester any other time of the year, but no love for UMB.
And BC, if we're just talking pizza
Unless all the pizza places in Cleveland Circle have suddenly closed shop.
And, hmm, Northeastern, too.
So I guess it's a comprehensive list of pizza places for Harvard, BU and Leslie students, plus all the assorted riff-raff who manage to get through customs at the BU Bridge and somehow wind up in the North End.
Thank you!
I was reading it, waiting for reviews on Pino's and Presto until I found out that they evidently don't exist anymore. It was bad enough that BC was left out of the mocking student profiles, but to deny Cleveland Circle pizza is an outrage.
Did the poster actually read
Did the poster actually read the Dig article? In about 3 seconds I see 7 places south of the Fenway.
Maybe I'm blind, but ...
I just called up the two PDF files that make up the guide again and I don't see any places listed in JP, Roslindale, Hyde Park, Roxbury or Dorchester. Or for that matter, Cleveland Circle, East Boston or Charlestown. You know, the 90% of the city most college students will never see, which is fine, but don't go calling something like that "comprehensive."
Oooh, I'm getting steamed about a guide to pizza!
Yeah, and YOU forgot Mattapan
...in your impliededly comprehensive rant!
Oh, and West Roxbury
...DAYum!
South of Fenway
You'll get no argument from me that HUGE pizza-worthy swaths of the city are not represented on the list, but the South End and South Boston are, technically, south of Fenway. :-)
OK, a metaphorical Fenway, then
Or maybe it'd be quicker to say "anything not in Boston Proper or Harvard Square" :-).
West of Fenway, then?
Is that an appropriate geographic direction?
