3. “Sopepizza,” Cornerstone First Edition Pizza & Subs, Tucumcari, New Mexico (July 17)
From the menu: “Marinara, Mozzarella, and filling choice, stuffed in a sopapilla and deep fried.” What is a sopapilla, you ask (and I asked)? It’s a bread unique(ish) to New Mexico that “can be served as desserts or entrees.” At this converted Pizza Hut, there was a pizza-style option.
It was delicious. July 17, 2019, was a banner food day. It was a banner lodging day, too, as I slept at the famous Blue Swallow Motel.
