SCENE OF THE CRIME By Natasha
I went into Puget Sound Pizza for my first time about a year ago for lunch with some of my colleagues. I hadn't yet joined the South Sound inner circle at that point, and I wish I would've known then what I know now.
I've always thought the pizza there was great, but it wasn't until recently that I discovered what a cult following PSP has.
I've been spending quite a bit of time there lately because Ginger Knoxx has been kind enough to introduce me to several of Tacoma's social ambassadors, including my favorite rock star/PSP maestro, Bluecifer.
He let me in on some of the greatest news of all for you fellow PSP fans: They're expanding.  AWESOME. 
PSP recently scored the lease on the location right next to it.  The wall between the two places will be blown out, adding to PSP 40 seats, a bathroom, darts, pinball, and, much to the delight of my libationary tendencies, a bar. I was so excited to hear this that I felt like my eyes were filled with stars.
I recently made a new friend at PSP while sitting at the current bar who helped me make even more sense of the place.  His name was Jamie, and we had great talks about PSP's glowing personality, the delicious pizza, and the types of people that the place attracts.
Jamie put it perfectly.  It's intelligent pizza.  A native of Pennsylvania, he said he's met some of the most interesting and intellectual people with his regular stops at PSP.  I could say the same of Jamie. No offense, dear Tacoma, but impressive people aren't always easy to come by here in the Dirty South, but PSP seems to have an abundance. I have my fingers crossed that I'll get to high-five Jamie again soon.
PSP has a rock 'n' roll, sublime grunge era feel to it that's obviously such a fit for who I am and where I've been.  But more than that, it's approachable for anyone, regardless of your experiences.  A steady flow of people pop in at all hours of the day, and the phone is always buzzing with to go orders. 
PSP recently introduced me to the Fish Tale Organic IPA, which was the perfect accompaniment to the tasty pizza, sauce and crust.  I'm particularly down with IPAs that have a subtle bite to them, and the Organic is just what the doctor ordered. PSP just switched taps, though, and this week, you should order up the Harmon's Mt. Takhoma Blonde Ale there. Scrumptious. 
I keep hearing about PSP's amazing breakfasts, with omelettes the size of your life, but socialites like me rarely get their day going before noon on the weekends.  I promise that I'll make it in soon, though, PSP.
I can't wait for the expansion, and I've been hearing that a kick-ass Halloween party might be in store.  How did they know that Halloween is my favorite holiday ever?
But best of all, I'd just like to thank PSP for feeding my belly and firing the neurons in my noggin.
Ahhhhhh.
