we derailed pretty hard in the trump thread. Down with trump, up with pizza. There's mine, what are you having? Pizza owns. There's no such thing as bad pizza. there's definitely pizza thats better than other pizza, but all pizza is good.

Pepperoni Motor City Pizza from Costco is the best pizza you can buy in a store and anyone who says otherwise is a lying liar

Still laughing at the fact that during covid, Chuck E. Cheese tried to survive by putting all their locations up on grubhub and doordash under pseudonyms, and tried to pretend they were local pizzerias

I think our family favorite is Paisanos but I miss 80s pizza hut pizza, shakeys and Armands of Chicago. I also used to bribe the dominos delivery guy in college to pick us up beer and cigarettes and that owned* *cigarettes do not in fact, own

Pepperoni is the best pizza topping, followed closely by sausage. After that it's a loooong way down to, like, bacon crumbles or black olives or whatever

No such thing as bad pizza!? PAH! I once got a pizza with bacon, onions and peppers as a topping. It was awful, the bacon was all soggy and somehow the fat dripped through the pizza, through the box even, and left a big greasy patch on my lap - because that's where it was sitting on the drive home. I tried eating it but I couldn't finish it. It took a long time for Irish pizzerrias to figure out what they were doing but this was in the early 2000s. No excuse. They still haven't learned. You look at a menu here and you'll find sweetcorn and canned tuna as available toppings. Even barbecue sauce. I've only ever seen one place that offers jalapenos.

One of the 2 great pizza places up here on the mountain I live on (SoCal) had their roof collapse from a 100 year snowstorm, hoping it pops back up, even tho the other place that survived kinda blows them away

free hubcaps posted:The deli pep will help with this a bit, also if op was smart they put down some cheese under the pepperoni as well to secure it didnt get to address this in my last post but yes that is exactly what i do. fresh sliced deli pep also doesnt give off even nearly a quarter the amount of grease that the prepackaged stuff does, so even then there's minimal slippage

he spent like $10,000 on a special cheese grater attachment for our hobart dough mixer so that we could grate our own cheese instead of paying extra for the pre-grated stuff and the fuckin thing broke after 2 days, right after that he made us weigh the cheese and bag it as part of daily food prep

You essentially take a balsamic mushroom tart filling and slap it on pizza dough, then add a little extra cheese, some spinach, black olives, bacon crumbles... It might stretch the definition of pizza, but gently caress it's good.

There is definitely bad pizza out there. My stepmother insisted on getting pizza from this place that always had terribly greasy pizza, with cold cheese, and a too thick, overly tough crust. I'm wondering if she had bad taste or she secretly hated us, or maybe it was some of both.

Pizza is weird for brains Growing up the formative pizza I would get on good-grades night or birthdays or whatever was Round Table, with mushrooms and pepperoni because that's what was on one of the posters or wall decorations there (I always followed examples like that or the serving suggestions on the saltine box and so on—clearly they know best), and apparently I imprinted on it super hard because no matter how many thousands of other types of pizza I've had from how many thousands of other places over the years, still nothing compares even remotely to what that Round Table pizza tastes like. Whether I make it myself, whether i get it from another west coast place that does it in the same crustless/thin-sliced style, whether I look up online forums that claim to have figured out the ingredient sources or report cooking techniques from former employees, there's always something a little wrong—sauce a little too sweet, dough not rich enough, crust too floppy, cheese just slightly wrong tasting in combination with the pepperoni, something. Only the authentic thing will do. Everyone I've tried to sell on it has been politely "uh huh, it's .. not bad" at best. Clearly pizza means something different to everyone else, and it's presumably about whatever they imprinted on first as the ur-pizza. I guess for some people it's Pizza Hut, for some it's Chuck E Cheese, for some it's NYC dollar heatlamp slices or whatever the mom & pop place at their local strip mall makes, and everything else seems weird and not quite right. I've stopped trying to objectively and comparatively quantify pizza and have retired to the theory that it's just an extremely personal thing, you find what you like and never let go if you want a shred of simple animal happiness in your life. Every time I go back home, no matter the occasion or length of visit I will disappear for a lunch hour and don't ask me any questions about it. It's crazy how expensive RT has gotten but I don't care. It'd be my death row last meal for sure

On the other hand if they were to go out of business tomorrow or change their recipe or something, I would school myself to silence because things change. Nice things die. New nice things appear all the time too. As has been said many times, nostalgia is poison. I will not be one of those people who says "McDonald's was good back in the 90s/80s/50s/whenever I grew up, not like today " and go on an incel rampage because of What They Took From Us I will find another, nearer good pizza someday

Thin crust, spinach, green olives, and garlic. Well done so the cheese gets good and dark, and some salt. Or Giordanos stuffed, same stuff plus mushrooms. Pizza is medicinal. Cholesterol is bullshit.

Naan is ridiculously easy to make at home. You are like one step away from total (naan) pizza independence.
