"Italian fries" from Papillon's Pizza next to Shopko in Wausau. Cheese bread in Wisconsin is extra cheesy.
A slab of pizza crust covered in warm mozzerella cheese so thick that the slices have melted back together. Its resting on a piece of greasy checkerboard paper on a tray with a side of marinara sauce
