Getzlaf returns to Orange County on Thursday to prepare for Training Camp, which opens at The Rinks - Anaheim ICE on Sunday.

On Getzlaf first day of the tour, he visited John's Pizza on 44th Street. In addition to trying some authentic New York pizza, he had the opportunity to create his own pizza. With guidance from the kitchen staff at John's, Getzlaf successfully made his own margherita pizza, which was promptly delivered to his table fresh from the oven.

"It's nice to do some of the media and stuff," Getzlaf said. "Being out west, we don't get to do that too often."
