Now that I'm in Florida I've been pretty happy with Five Star Pizza. I gather they're very focused to this region but they seem to have a lot of locations, and it's pretty drat tasty.

My ür-pizza however will always be Round Table. Nothing ever, ever tastes as good to me as RT does, and my first stop whenever I go back to California to visit is some Round Table on the way home from the airport. (Mountain Mike's is actually a very close simulacrum flavor-wise, but it too is only in CA, dammit.)

I'm always cagey about evangelizing it to people because it's expensive.

Canadian fast food chains have the weirdest thirst about their American counterparts/nemeses. A&W is pretty funny, it's this massive thing in Canada now but I remember it being pretty widespread in the US when I was a kid; their big deal was their root beer, and burgers were a sideshow. Now they've completely disappeared from the US but in Canada you'd never imagine they came from somewhere else.

Once when I was in Toronto around 2000, I went to the Yorkdale Mall food court for lunch with some friends, and I got KFC. On the box it said, and I swear to loving God:

"The first Kentucky Fried Chicken was opened in Calgary in 1956. Since then, ..."

Not a hint of a word that it originated outside Canada. I constantly kick myself for not keeping the box or taking a picture of it or something.

The Colonel lived in Mississauga, Ontario from the mid-60's until his death in 1980. We loved that guy almost as much as America does. I vaguely remember those "Story of KFC" boxes, but I always thought they included the words "Outside of the United States".

I remember reading it over and over like a dozen times because I was sure I was missing that bit somehow.

Maybe they changed it eventually.

completely contrary to the thread title but this was the best takeout thick crust pizza i've ever had, from a brooklyn style place



This is basically what Detroit Style is, isn't it? Done in an oil drip pan to maximize the crispy lacy cheese edge.

Whenever I'm making pizza at home I have to impress upon myself to put on WAY more pepperoni and mushrooms than I think is sensible, because both shrink.

Just pile them sky high, they end up perfectly distributed as though by magic

My favorite midcentury food ad quirk is that they always seem to be trying to trick your family into eating it. Like if you can't capture their attention they just won't bother eating.

"How do you make a breakfast that your kids won't turn up their noses at?"

"Looking for a dish that'll entice Hubby to come home on time?"

"Here's a foodstuff full of nutrients and nourishment to make sure your family has the energy to get through the day without collapsing from sheer listless ennui!"

someone will be along shortly to espouse the amazing nature of a 4x cheese pizza or w/e but I'm assuming we're talking a literal plain 1x cheese pizza and i don't understand adults that prefer that at all

I once worked with this hipster rich-kid topknot dude in a tech job in Manhattan who one morning started loudly complaining how hungry he was and he couldn't wait for lunch, so at about 11:00 he called up the pizza place downstairs and went down to retrieve TWO extra-large 1x cheese pizzas. He then sat there at his desk eating it and moaning about how it's soooooo fuckin gooooood.

He finished about two slices and put both boxes in the fridge where they decayed

Do those pizzas just take like half an hour to assemble or what?

Like no pizza rules and all but kind of one of the big advantages of a pizza is that it can be (literally) thrown together, in like a minute

Not even premade pizza dough, just a fully rolled out premade pizza base

The intricate aiming of exactly how much involvement the target market wants to have with the cooking process, *squints, holds fingers apart at arm's length*
