zone posted:what the hell even is that crust I'm still not back at the hotel to do a full review but yeah, as someone else guessed, it's a squid ink crust. Here's an app-translated photo of the menu listing:  Unrelated to Bomb Pizza here's something called a "cream bagel" from the coffee shop next to where we had pork bbq:

I'ma just leave this here for now Typing this up between gnarly farts but I've eaten so much on this trip I can't be 100% certain if they're the fault of the PIZZA BOMB. Anyway, onto the 'za  The Pizza Bomb in all its flaming glory. Brought to you by The Place: a local Italian restaurant chain with three or four locations throughout Seoul, South Korea. For anyone that missed the earlier posts about this monstrosity; this is how it's brought to you: as an ominous black orb that is then lit aflame beside your table and allowed to burn for a few seconds before the server blows out the flames by using a little clipboard as a fan. They then use kitchen shears to cut off the crispy dome and "slice" the pizza into 8 extremely thin and moist sections.  Pictured: pizza Computer, enhance!  More!  No, less, I'm sorry I didn't mean it Alright, so here's the thing. And I hate like hell to have to say this: it wasn't quite as bad as it looks. Is it a good pizza? Absolutely not. Not by any human metric. Is it good food? Also, no. Was it as bad as these photos suggest? It really wasn't. There were even certain aspects that could've worked if some (admittedly drastic) changes were made. THINGS ABOUT THIS PIZZA ON NO PARTICULAR ORDER: + walnuts and cranberries are delicious - why are they on a goddamn pizza? + thin crust, lots of cheese - literal paper-thin crust and far too much cheese to be supported by it. This might've had the poorest structural integrity of any pizza I've ever eaten. The cheese: crust ratio is simply untenable:  A New York-style fold wasn't enough to keep it from drooping. Even folding the tip backwards toward the crust and then doing a NY fold didn't work. Utterly limp. Impressively limp. Impossibly limp. + but you know what? The outer ring of crust that actually resembled a baked bread product (albeit in an extremely off-putting color) was actually really, really good.  Nice and chewy, slightly salty - it deserved to be part of a better pizza. They served three dipping sauces with this thing: ranch (lol of course), salsa, and honey. Taking the outer crust and dipping it in a bit of the honey was delicious - the cheese. The cheeses. In addition to there being just too much cheese for the thin little wiener crust to support, part of the quattro formaggi dumped onto this pizza is a stank rear end gorgonzola. Making you look at this picture again to remind you: I'm not a stinky cheese person. I made the mistake of picking, as my first slice, one that has a glob of gorg near its tip:  So my first bite of this thing featured a bunch of hot, wet gorgonzola that, to my palette, results in the unmistakable aftertaste of literal vomit. I almost didn't have a second bite. I mentioned my initial reaction to my fiance and she was like, "oh, it's bad, but not vomitty bad," and we looked it over and realized it was because I got the stinky cheese but she had avoided it. From that point on we both avoided all the moldy cheese slices and it was... fine? It was really just cheese, cranberries, and walnuts which isn't a bad combo. If they thickened the crust, ditched the gorgonzola, made it smaller, and served it as a dessert with that honey dip I think it'd actually be pretty great. Still got those gnarly farts though thiccabod fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Apr 26, 2023 |

Depends. Does oil from the melted cheese count as a sauce? Because if not then the answer is no

Soju Haus in NYC had(/has) this menu item called Spicy BBQ Chicken & Cheese, which struck me as being like a crustless Korean pizza that was heavily based on kimchi. It was really good, but mostly because it made no pretense of structural integrity

There's a Greek dish (Saganaki?) that's basically just a fried wedge of cheese, but the allure of it is that they bring it to your table and light it on fire before dousing it in lemon juice and serving it to you. So yeah, people like that kind of spectacle I think. I wonder how many Greek restaurants have burned down because of an inexperienced server torching the Saganaki wrong.

Gorgonzola+walnuts+cranberries is to me a pretty classic list of salad toppings so once you've got two of them on a pizza the third coming along for the ride doesn't seem that surprising.

Getting more towards the quiche side of things, but the general idea seems like it could make a good breakfast for a couple of people. Might want to cut up the sausages a bit more then cook them for minute or two first to get some browning happening on all sides, before pouring in the eggs, but all the ingredients seem solid. Although a bit of bell pepper and tomatoes in with the veg, and some more spices wouldn't go astray.

i mean technically they are but it seems kind of obscene to stick a hot dog into the same category with a really good chorizo or andoille. we need some sausage reform.

If a Chicago deep dish pizza is a pizza and a white pizza is a pizza then a quiche or a German onion pie are pizza. Calling a frittata a pizza is only a small step further.

Replace the hot dog with a better sausage and you have a pretty decent quiche Edit: Let me clarify that it's not an amazing quiche it's a thoroughly decent, edible one that's probably unremarkable but good enough. Cowman fucked around with this message at 22:25 on May 5, 2023 |
