Ohio Valley Style Pizza: Sometimes You Just Like It Raw


Sometimes you get goofy ideas. Sometimes you follow through on them before anyone tells you no.

For some reason, Ohio Valley Style pizza has made the rounds as “Pittsburgh Pizza,” and that’s fine with me. We just had Beto’s the other night. For me, it’s delicious, inexpensive, and filling. It seems to be rather polarizing. I know DiCarlo’s & Police Station Pizza have their followings, too.

Does anyone else do it this way?

The trip inspired me to do this…

A slice of Beto's pizza, Ohio Valley Style pie from the Banksville neighborhood in Pittsburgh, PA, with the caption "Rawdog the cheese & toppings... Ohio Valley Style!"

And, now that design is available on all kinds of stuff in my TeePublic & RedBubble shops.

Check it out, and tell your friends. Buy it on something you dig it. Both stores have T-shirts, stickers, magnets, hats, & so much more!

Of course, I really enjoy Aiello’s, Badamo’s, Slice, & Italian Village Pizza, too. Also, if you catch a Fox’s on a good day, it’s pretty good too! There’s room for all styles at the table.

Hit me up in the comments with your pizza manifestos because people seem wildly adherent to their opinions, and drop your design critiques too!

Christmas maze merch!


If you’re taking advantage of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, or Cyber Monday sales… take the time to consider some of my Christmas themed maze T-shirts from Tee Public or Red Bubble!

You can customize the color of the shirt, choose from many styles, and get the same designs on all kinds of merchandise like coffee mugs, stickers, and pillows.

October Sales – 20% to 35% off between RedBubble & TeePublic!


So, Amazon has October Prime days now on the 11th, & 12th, and the behemoth has cleared the path for other online retailers to trudge along on their wake.

I don’t think my book will be on sale, but if you haven’t bought it yet… let a few brothers hold $5.99 and add it to your cart with all your other stuff!  Jeff Bezos and I need your financial support.  He needs to build space ships, and I need to pay medical bills and buy LEGO sets.

In slightly cooler news, TeePublic and RedBubble are offering site-wide sales:

  • TeePublic touts “up to 35%” on October 12th-15th & October 26th-29th.
  • RedBubble touts 20% on October 9th-14th & 30% off on October 23rd-27th.

If you have thought about grabbing some stuff from either one of my shops, now would be a great time. The T-shirts, stickers, and magnets are cool. I hope to order mores tuff to check out the quality. You can get wall art to clocks, to tote bags, to mugs, to shower curtains!

If you have not thought about it, now would be a great time to think about it.

They’re good gifts for people that have everything. 

I also need someone to help solve some mazes so I can include the solutions in my next book!

Do you like to solve mazes? I need help.


Can anyone solve this maze? https://aixelsyd13.wordpress.com/2023/09/20/guts-the-maze/

My surgeon said he has tried & failed. Ha ha.

In related news, I want to include solutions in my 2nd book. Anyone willing to get paid to solve them for me? As much as I love drawing them, I don’t love solving them. 🤷
