The Pizza Thread!

[DancePoet]

Ok folks ... how do you like your Pizza?

Where is the best Pizza on the planet?

Hot? Cold? Hot and Cold?

Do you prefer thin & crispy crust or thick & chewy crust or chicago style?

What is your favorite topping(s)?

What is the most unusual topping you've ever seen?

Ever eaten?

[pygmalion]

Hey. You left out home made, frozen or restaurant. (or other) And if restaurant, which? Franchise or independent? :wink:

I'm sure I left out alot of things. Folks can add whatever they'd like. It's a Pizza Thread. ;) :D

[dancersdreamland]

MMM...I'm gonna get hungry on this thread...

My absolute favorite is a fresh-from-the-oven large Papa John's pizza (restaurant chain) with hand-tossed crust, pepperoni and extra cheese. Don't forget the side of ranch for dipping. YUMMY!

[dancin_feet]

My favourite pizza is the pizza a friend of mine brings over for free. She manages a couple of franchise stores and a couple of times a month, or if we feel the need to chat, she shows up on my doorstep with a couple of pizzas, garlic bread, chicken strips, etc. I usually have enough to take for lunch for a couple of days to work as well!!

She plays around with the toppings, so it's never a stock standard menu item. Though at the moment there is a promotion on with a pizza base with a cream cheese layer in the middle. My friend also puts pepperoni in with the cream cheese, and it is divine!

[pygmalion]

Yep. Definitely has to be hand-tossed for me, too, ddl. Never have understood the appeal of thin crust, although to each his own. 8)

[Larinda McRaven]

thin and crispy

mushrooms, sausage, pineapple

[dancin_feet]

I also love the gourmet pizzas you get at the little italian restaurants. Just recently had a lamb pizza with fetta cheese, capsicum, onion, sundried tomatoes, herbs and double stretch mozzarella.

Yummo!

[BrookeErin]

we had pizza tonight :)

my absolute fave chain is Greek's

However, that's not available near home (near all the places I frequent though)

If we order it's Pizza Hut pan pizza with Mushrooms, green peppers, black olives, and onions

sometimes I like sausage and mushroom too

[Larinda McRaven]

white pizza is also great!!!!

[Sagitta]

white?

[pygmalion]

Never tried it. That's the one without tomato, right? 8)

[Larinda McRaven]

mozarella, ricotta, and some other white cheeze...

[Sagitta]

mozarella, ricotta, and some other white cheeze...

Thanks. I figured cheese, but then there are cheese pizzas, so I was wondering what was so special about this one. I prefer cold pizzas, myself and for breakfast or as a snack when I'm hungry.

[squirrel]

I like hot pizza, with ham, extra Mozarella, mushrooms, corn, olives sometimes.

[cocodrilo]

MY PIZZA is the best! Wholewheat crust, tons of cheese, tomato sauce with garlic and herbs, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, anchovies, ground beef and occasionally asparagus. Thick crust, not that paper-thin parchment crap. Lots of jalapenos on hand (& sometimes chipotles or even habaneros) for piling on later.

Japanese pizza is not to my liking, so I always make it myself. Japan takes the cake for oddest toppings- here's a partial list;

chicken nuggets
corn
rice cakes(omochi)
sardines
octopus
squid
mayonnaise
cream sauce
potatoes
hard-boiled eggs
grilled noodles
clams
marinated chicken
seaweed
cabbage
teriyaki chicken
(All of the above sacrilegious toppings are from the "Pizza Royal Hat" menu in my newspaper!)


:shock:

[dancersdreamland]

Do we have an "I think I'm going to be sick" emoticon?

Didn't see one, but this is the first time I've seen this one... :bkick: ...so I felt the need to post it. :D

[Swingolder]

Papa Murphy's -- take it home and bake it. Their supreme, double crust, is so thick with toppings and cheese, takes two hands to carry it. One pizza makes three meals for my dh and myself! Probably a zillion calories wrapped up with that double crust.

Pepperoni with cream cheese sounds quite yummy!

D_f ... you are divine. ;)

[DancePoet]

Ok folks ... how do you like your Pizza?

Where is the best Pizza on the planet?
I love old fashioned, layered crust, Chicago style pizza. I had from a real Chicago style pizza place many years ago and I can't wait to get some more from out there some day. UNOs has a decent Chicago style, but I haven't been thrilled with past experiences.

Hot? Cold? Hot and Cold?
Definitely hot! 8)

Do you prefer thin & crispy crust or thick & chewy crust or chicago style?
Chicago style.

What is your favorite topping(s)?
Tend to be a meat lover, Pepperoni, Sausage, Hamburger, Real Bacon, Canadian Bacon, but I like green peppers, too. :D

What is the most unusual topping you've ever seen?
Hmmm ... I've seen cajun chicken, eggplant, and corn chips. :shock:

Ever eaten?
Barbeque chicken.

[cocodrilo]

Corn chips? :shock:

[pygmalion]

A heck of a lot more reasonable than mayonnaise, IMO. :wink: :lol:

[dancersdreamland]

On my drive to work this morning I was thinking about this thread (I know, I have got to get a life...) and realized there are two essential types of pizza missing from this discussion.

In addition to my previous pizza post, I would like to add to entirely seperate styles of pizza.

The first, vegetable pizza...not a hot pizza with regular tomato type sauce, but an actual vegetable pizza - frozen crescent rolls laid flat and baked, after cooled add the sauce (I think its some mixture of cream cheese or sour cream with veggie dip) and toppings (broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, tomatos, etc. Eat uncooked.

The second, fruit pizza...same crust as veggie pizza, sauce is cream cheese and topping include slided strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, blueberries, etc.


Oooh - one more quick pizza type...dessert pizza. I love Pizza Hut's hot, fresh dessert pizzas. Both the appled and the strawberry ones are good...drizzled with creamy frosting. Yummy!

[cocodrilo]

I would gladly try all of the above. Oh, JAL has direct flights form most major US cities if you are in the mood to deliver! :D

[Sagitta]

I have had fruit pizza. It's okay, but not my cup of tea, personally. :cheers: :)

[Pacion]

Ok folks ... how do you like your Pizza?

You cooking? :wink: :lol:

How do I like my Pizza? Served by a guy wearing a tux :lol:

[pygmalion]

:lol: :lol: :lol: Amen to that.

[dancersdreamland]

I'll second that order... (I guess now that I'm married I should probably specify that the man in the tux should be my husband... :wink:)

So when I visit your place bringing pizza for dinner I need to be wearing a tux, uh? ;)

[pygmalion]

(I guess now that I'm married I should probably specify that the man in the tux should be my husband... :wink:)

Where's the fun in that? If the tux-clad dude is not your husband, that should make your husband pretty jealous -- not always a bad thing. :roll: :wink: :lol:

[cocodrilo]

I have always wanted to try fermented soybeans (known as "natto" in Japan) on a pizza. I'll have to get around to it one day...

[Mitra]

Yummm....pizza ^_^

Sausage with extra cheese, thick crust, by far ^_^

[pygmalion]

Thick crust? As in not thin and crispy or as in extra thick? Or filled with something? What does thick-crust mean to you? Inquiring minds want to know. :wink: :lol:

[cocodrilo]

Just thick crust! Nothing in it(except crust), reasonably thick even in the middle, with ample around the edges for chewing on!

[Mitra]

Exactly ^_^ Although sometimes if I am in the mood for an ample serving of processed dairy, I will get cheese stuffed crust also, but normally only regular thick crust

[cocodrilo]

I've never tried that. (But I tend to think that cheese tastes better ON the pizza than IN it! :wink: )

Wouldn't it be so much better if it really was the husband? What could be more romantic then having your husband/significant other show up with a pizza dressed in a tux?

It could symbolize that she is so important to him that even bringing a pizza warrants wearing a tux. Wow! :D

My friend from South Corea always adds ketchup on his pizza. Maybe it's a Corean thing?

[cocodrilo]

My friend from South Corea always adds ketchup on his pizza. Maybe it's a Corean thing?
That's yucky! I've been to Korea 20 times and have had pizza there many times and have never seen that. I did see tabasco over there, which is really popular in Japan, too. Tastes good, but lotsa sodium. I prefer those chili flakes we get in the states...

[hopelessly_addicted]

My friend from South Corea always adds ketchup on his pizza. Maybe it's a Corean thing?

yikes! I can assure you that it's your friend! I'm from Korea and that is not the general practise :shock: Cocodrilo's right.. we Koreans LOVE chilly/spicy/hot food 8) Hey I'm surprised that Japanese like tobasco too! I heard/thought that they could not handle hot food...

[Pacion]

Or perhaps he just likes ketchup (or lots of it/sauce) on his pizza? :roll:

When I make cheese and toast, ketchup is often very liberally applied. Messy, potentially. Yummy? Most definitely! :lol:

Sometimes, I will even use raw tomatoes in addition, plus lots of pepper. If I have olives, some of those may be added as well, perhaps some ham will be grilled... almost like a pizza really, except it is a bread slice base rather than a dough base :lol:

Actually, the Japanese LOVE tabsco, but in very small quantities. I can drink the stuff(=it's not hot enough for me) so I don't waste my time with it, especially since it is loaded with salt. The younger generation of Japanese has become accustomed to more spicy fare these days, and there is a "Korean boom" happening at the moment.

[pr]

I add Salsa to my pizza! ;)

Homemade, hot, thin & crispy crust, pepperoni & cheese

[DancePoet]

I had this great cheese pizza a month or more back at this restaurant in Boston, but I was really disappointed when I made return trip this past weekend. Had a slice of pepperoni, but it just seemed to be alot different.

The french fries I had were still great though! :D

[pygmalion]

Papa John's gave me a 30% discount for showing my AAA card when I bought a pizza last weekend. Pretty darn good. 8)

[DancePoet]

I wonder how much they give for a senior showing their AARP card. ;)

[pygmalion]

Hmm. I didn't see any AARP sign in the window, but if Papa Johns is giving AAA discounts, maybe they give discounts to AARP folks as well. 8)

[DancePoet]

Hey, time for me to go pick up some Pizza!

I'm going ot one of my favorite spots and buying a sausage only pizza!

:car:

[cocodrilo]

I really miss that option, DP. Living in Japan, buying pizza is practically cost prohibitive and when you get home and open the box, you will most likely find weird stuff on it like squid legs, corn and the like... I resort to making it myself, with wholewheat ctust and the freshest vegetable toppings I can find. No critters!

[pygmalion]

I can imagine. :( I think I'll be headed back over to Papa John's this weekend, myself. Eight bucks for a cheese pizza, with the discount of course. 8) Less than nine with one topping. :)

[Katarzyna]

I wish there was Papa John's near my house. I had their pizza with the garlic souce 4 times. Really delicious...

[cocodrilo]

Gee, a little skinny medium-sized "pizza" will set ya back $30 here. :?

[pygmalion]

Gee, a little skinny medium-sized "pizza" will set ya back $30 here. :?

:shock: Eeek! Ya gotta be kidding me. Why? Imported ingredients? :?

I seriously pay $8 for a large cheese. Or, if I go to Dominos (and have friends over, for example) I can buy three or more large one-topping pizzas for $7 each. No limit.

Yikes. $7 peaches. $30 pizzas. :evil: :(

Things are expensive here! :?

[pygmalion]

Now I see why you go to Southeast Asia or the US to shop. Even with the airfare and accomodations, it probably still works out cheaper than shopping in Japan. :(

[cocodrilo]

Indeed. I still make a kick-butt pizza, half the price and twice the nutritional value of the shop stuff! And YUM! 8)

[pygmalion]

At least you still get to have an occasional pizza. I'd just have to re-think my image of pizza. Pizza's the thing I eat when I don't want to cook. But, at thirty bucks a pop for store-bought, I think even I'd be motivated to toss some pizza dough around. :roll: :lol:

[macha]

I wish someone liked the same pizza I did :(

My favorite is a thin whole wheat crust with salsa, mozzarella, cheddar, and then the rest dressed up like a taco pizza, substituting beef for grilled chicken. Nobody here likes it that way.

Nobody likes baby spinach and alfalfa or bean sprouts in their sandwiches either, though. I thought I made up for it by liking Popeye's and putting ranch dressing on the most bizarre things, but ah, well.

:( *sigh*

[Sagitta]

I don't really like pizza.

[Katarzyna]

[pygmalion]

Hmm. I thought sushi had been the trendy food for yuppies, puppies, preppies, what have you for the past decade or two. I even heard kids were bringing it in their lunchboxes! Maybe if more peopel in the states ate sushi we would have fewer cases of heart disease, diabetes and obesity...

Oh yes, and Pygmalion- you can eat those slimy soybeans at a sushi restaurant! They roll it up in crisp seaweed or they serve it like they do sea urchin or ikura. YUM!

I don't believe in trendy food or anything else. Fads are for the huddled masses. Give me individualism any day of the week. :wink: :lol:

I wasn't saying you were trendy, I was just making the assumption that sushi had already taken America by storm years ago, and that most people would be quite accustomed to/fond of it by now...

[pygmalion]

I wasn't saying you were trendy, I was just making the assumption that sushi had already taken America by storm years ago, and that most people would be quite accustomed to/fond of it by now...

*giggle* I was just kidding.

I agree. Sushi's a heck of a lot easier to find in the US now than it was, even ten years ago. All the supermarkets near me sell it. Three or four of the markets even have a standalone sushi bar with an actual human being (what do you call a sushi chef? :? ) on staff all day to make sushi fresh. So yeah, I guess you could call that trendy. *shrug*

[cocodrilo]

That's great, the widespread popularity of sushi & now people being able to enjoy it, economically I hope, even at one's local supermarket.

Sushimaker I believe would be the proper terminology in English. Most sushimakers go through rigorous training and must finish apprenticeships before becoming a full-fledged sushimaker.

[pygmalion]

Yeah. It's pretty cool and reasonably priced. About $6 for a tray of eight of the veggie/rice thingies, IIRC (no idea what they're called. I just know I like them. ) And a bit more for anything involving fish. But, either way, affordable. 8) :D

[Sagitta]

FRom pizza to sushi. I like teh direction this thread is going. I like sushi... I also like the thin shaves of giner and wasabi that comes with it.

This is funny- wasabi is not served at sushi restaurants in Japan. A dab is usually added under the slice of fish (take a look next time!). The ginger is called "gari" and is used as a "palate cleanser" when you eat different kinds of fish. I love the ginger, too! :)

See what I mean about trendy? :roll: :lol:

Just kidding. Trendy's okay for restaurants, IMO. Just not for people. I'd rather choose what I read, watch, listen to and eat based on what I like, rather than what's in style. So I can sometimes be spotted at trendy places, but cometimes at totally un-hip venues. *shrug* 8) Eh.

most important, eat what you like :)

Take a look at the stats. If they're anything like the salmon scare stats from a couple years back, they stats represent the relative levels of contamination, not absolute. (e.g. twice as much as a tiny bit is still a pretty tiny bit. :roll: ) Yep. Still contaminated, but read the fine print carefully before you get scared enough to give up your favorite fish. My two cents. 8)

Oh I don't bother! Too much stress over something that is reported so often. I figure if I eat in moderation I should be fine. However, I am in the process of switching my diet to natural/organic foods...a gradual process, but it is happening.

The salmon scare taught me that lesson. The price of canned salmon tanked and people were avoiding it left and right. But, when I finally heard a real statistician analyse the results of the study, there was essentially very little difference in the risks. No, if I was pregnant or had HIV or cancer, I wouldn't go out and eat a ton of salmon or tuna. But, since none of those is true, I don't spend a lot of time worrying about it. 8)

[cocodrilo]

Chocolate pizza...this has got me thinking...
Possibly a cream sauce instead of the cheese(custard, maybe?) then top with chocolate. When fresh out of the oven, top with thinly-sliced bananas and strawberries. I may try this at my next pizza party.

I'm really going to try it next time I make pizzas. I'll let you know how it turns out!

[pygmalion]

That sounds yummy, cocodrilo. :D Let me know how it tastes. 8)

[cornutt]

This is funny- wasabi is not served at sushi restaurants in Japan. A dab is usually added under the slice of fish (take a look next time!). The ginger is called "gari" and is used as a "palate cleanser" when you eat different kinds of fish. I love the ginger, too! :)

Well, it's a lot different in the U.S. actually. Sushi places here do all these fancy combo rolls and stuff, but somehow it's never as good as the basic stuff that they serve in Japan. I never liked sushi until I went to Tokyo a few years ago. I tried some there, and it was delicious! Thought maybe I'd been missing some, so I tried again when I got back. No... bad as ever.


P.S.: if you can't afford the pizza, there's always Beef Bowl. :lol:

[cocodrilo]

You know, I have NEVER tried one of those? "Yoshinoya", the chain that made gyudon (the beef bowl) famous is still going strong, selling at about $3 a bowl! Bargain in this country!

[pygmalion]

Beef bowl? :?

[cocodrilo]

Thinly sliced strips of beef, sauteed in soy sauce and served over rice. According to the news here, there are like a dozen restaurants in New York alone. Surprised you have never heard of it, Pygmalion.

[pygmalion]

Eh. A dozen restaurants in NYC is a little bit different from Pennsylvania or Florida or Texas, where I've spent the bulk of my adult life (aside from an occasional adventure vacation... )

*shrug* 8)

[mamboqueen]

I try to stay away from these food threads because they instantly make me hungry.

I *must* have thin, crispy crust pizza...and very HOT. To me, the best pizza is in New York City. I have found one place in the Boston area I like, but it's still not quite as good. Are there still Ray's Pizza in New York?? I used to love those places.

As for Tabasco, my huband has my kids trained to put it (usually the Jalapeno version) on everything. It's quite insulting, actually!

Great. Now I need to have pizza to go with my beer. Ugh!

[pygmalion]

What's the deal with Chicago pizza? I've had "Chicago style pizza" that really didn't impress me much, to be honest, although it wasn't in Chicago, so maybe I'm not being fair. Why all the mystique? :? :)

[cocodrilo]

Tabasco's GREAT on pizza! Very salty though, if you like it spicy! I prefer ground chilies, jalapeno or serrano slices...

[lynn]

pizza....i'm not sure why i dug up this thread, maybe b/c i'm hungry?? haven't had pizza in ages!! thanks to my low-fat diet!

[BrookeErin]

We had Pizza Hut last night in honor of my goddaughter starting kindergarten on Monday; last night was "meet the teacher night". So good, but I was stuffed to overflowing.... not so great to go dancing just a couple of hours later.

[lynn]

i like pizzahut's pizza. The crust is usually soft but firm and not dry and rock hard like some of the other pizza chains i've tried

[cocodrilo]

I'm going to make pizza tonight! A buddy is going to bring over a REALLY good bottle of rum, too! 8)

[lynn]

i'm not very good @ making my own pizza... i almost always end up with burnt crust and uncooked middle (esp when it's those packaged frozen pizza!).

[chandra]

cold pinneapple black olives

[cocodrilo]

My list of toppings for this evening-
garlic & herb tomato sauce
cheese
ground beef
green and red peppers
onions
anchovies
salami
mushrooms

and after it comes out of the oven...

sliced tomatoes
jalapeno slices

Drooling yet? :)

[lynn]

yummy.....*drooling like crazy*....let me pick up a roll of paper towel first....

btw, cocodrilo, i thought you're vegetarian??!!

[pygmalion]

Paper towels?!?! For anchovies? :shock: I think not. Eww! *shudder*

[lynn]

never had anchovies....what does that taste like???

[cocodrilo]

yummy.....*drooling like crazy*....let me pick up a roll of paper towel first....

No way, I LOVE meat. Just don't eat huge quantities of it... 8)

[cocodrilo]

never had anchovies....what does that taste like???
Very salty, very fishy. They come in little tins or jars imported form Italy and are filleted. The tiny bones are edible. The fillets kinda crumble up when the pizza is being cooked. Salty enough that I don't put salt in my pizza sauce.

I changed my mind. Paper towels would definitely be required. Not for drool, though. For tears at the awful-ness of the whole concept of eating anchovies. :roll: :wink:

Just kidding! :mrgreen:

[lynn]

hmm, fish on my pizza :shock: ?? i think i'll stick to the original/true & tried recipes....better yet, i think i'll just call for delivery!

[pygmalion]

The delivery guys bring anchovies, too, if you ask. Meaning, be careful how you order a pizza with "everything" on it. A lot of times, "everything" includes anchovies. *shudder* :lol:

[lynn]

i wonder if there would be smell transfer...you know, the delivery guy puts all the pizzas together, and what if your pizza just so happen to be sitting on top (or below) the anchovie one.....would the pizza then smell like anchovies??

[pygmalion]

The pizza guys here transport pizzas in big, thick, insulated bags. So I think smell transfer is a minimal risk... especially when you consider how small the servings of toppings are included in the price. :? :lol:

[lynn]

remind me of the time i had pizza in school, by the time i finished the slice, the tray was drenched in oil - pretty gross, but that's the price you pay for extra cheese!!

[pygmalion]

Or real, handmade (non-franchise) pizza. Been there, eaten that. 8)

[lynn]

i'm too lazy when it comes to making pizza... i always end up with bunch of ingredients that i won't need until i make another pizza - and that could be months down the road....

WOW, blast from the past! I remember in high school, after the 3rd period recess when kids would want to eat something, they had these ladies in the hallways selling disgusting-looking food facsimilies, one of which was that greasy pizza! I loved junk food bakc in those days but would never touch that oily pizza!

[pygmalion]

High school cafeteria food ... Brings back poignant memories. *sigh* 8) :D

[chandra]

Bleck. I wish they were memories only!

[pygmalion]

:lol: :lol:

My cafeteria ladies used to make the yummiest rice. Honest to Pete. I still wonder what they did to make it taste so good. 8)

[chandra]

ummm..I actually dont mind the food at our cafeteria. (its the cafeteria for the university aswell, it serves all organic food, that is grown locally. -only during the summer of course- The food is healthy, and mulit cultural. - our unviersity has a huge amount of international students, so every day is another type of food. American is typically the worst day.) Unfortunately, recently, becaues the farms are failing, the only thing to eat ever is rice and doll. I MISS my broccolli! Its so funny, I feel personally responsible because Im supposed to pick broccoli, but there just isnt any in the field.

Whoa...you're lucky!! All the foods served in our cafeteria were either fried, overly greasy and dripping with oil or so salty you probably need to buy a couple of litres of water at an outrageously high price to allow you to swallow it!

Thats dhal. Like lentil soup... Sorta... Its an indian food, like a legume that is cooked and souped... You know what rice is.

(were you teasing?)

Supposedly its a copmplete protein, and really good for you. Not bad tasting either. But you need vegetables everyonce and awhile, and you also need some variation not to go crazy. We get free food there cause my parents work at the university, and I work at the farm, so they wont let us pay... Nice people.

Sucks that we dont have any veggies at the farm anymore... Its just too hot for them!

Nope. I wasn't teasing. Never heard of it. It looks yummy, though, and I do love other types of lentil soup. Maybe I'll try it, next time I go to an Indian restaurant. If I can convince myself to stray away from my usual curried meat and basmati rice. :oops: :wink:

[chandra]

Do deffinitly try, if its a buffet just pur a little over your rice. It can be delicious if spiced correctly... If they have butter add some of that! makes it really good!

[pygmalion]

What usually happens is I fill up on nan (sp?) bread and then, by the time I finally get around to ordering my entree, I'm so full couldn't care less what I'm eating. :lol: :lol: So I just order the same as always -- curried chicken or curried lamb. With lots of rice, of course.

Can you say carb addict? :roll: :lol:

[chandra]

nan (sp?) IMO is best WITH the entry. Its soooo good. speccially saag paniir and rice ontop of nan. Its like bread and soup. Completely necessary.

[pygmalion]

They bring out some bread as an appetizer, here. 8) And I'm invariably a goner. :lol: :lol:

[chandra]

Lol, like the bread sticks at olive garden! oh so good.

[pygmalion]

:lol: :lol: While I was googling to check on the spelling of nan (we got it right, btw,) I ran across this. Just figured I'd share. :roll: :wink:


http://www.largecow.demon.co.uk/forteana/curiosity/nan.html

roflmao. Like the jesus pancake which sold for 900 $ on ebay... Sept silliar!

I kinda thought that might be how you spelled nan...

yes, but when you're out all day and don't want to eat all those greasy/fatty take-outs, the only solution is to drink plenty of water and hypnotize yourself 8) .....

Hmm. I saw an article somewhere recently that gave relatively healthy menu selections for most of the major fast food restaurants. Hmm. Where did I see that? :?

[lynn]

i saw it too.....i wonder if it's on msn.com, maybe one of those articles from weightwatchers or the msn health section??

[pygmalion]

That's the problem. I browse so many of those things that I can't keep track. :?

[lynn]

i remember in psychology, the prof told us a story. When we our brain receives information, it immediately distinguishes whether or not the source is reliable (ie, if you know it's a rumor, then it's deemed unreliable). But gradually over time, you "forget" about the source and only that information retain in the brain. Moral of the story? when you spread a rumor and if you wait long enuf, the person will believe that it's true!

[Sagitta]

That's the problem. I browse so many of those things that I can't keep track. :? Me too. :oops:

[pygmalion]

Well, at least we're somewhat well-informed. :wink: 8)

[lynn]

yep, thanks to the convenience of digital-era! no need to wait for the morning paper (and try to hunt down the person who steals your paper!)

[pygmalion]

I still get the paper, though. And listen to news radio in the car. And watch the news, at least some of the time.

Online news rocks, but a lot of things never make the cut and get uploaded. So you get snippets and sound bites. Enough to make conversation, but no in-depth analysis.

If you want the whole story, read the Sunday New York Times and watch BBC news. :wink: :lol:

[lynn]

i used to subscribe to papers everyday, except it was really annoying come recylcing day - that's why i decided to go the paperless route (and i've since convinced myself that i'm doing the environment a favour :lol: !)

[DancePoet]

I'm having homemade pizza tonight for supper! :D :D :D

[lynn]

We ordered 2 Pizza Hut pizzas last night and I noticed the crust tasted a little different than the last time I ordered, now I'm wondering what's the difference between "Hand-tossed style" vs. "Pan Pizza"??

[hepcat]

I miss good pizza. There's not any that's really great here. My favorite is from a little dive in my home town called Pizza Oven. That's near Buffalo, NY. I've never tasted anything like it anywhere else before. The sauce is sweet. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. It's also a secret family recipe too.

I've since reduced my greasy food intake so I suppose it's a good thing I don't live near good pizza anymore (although some is not very greasy). I indulge when I visit my parents. There was a brick oven pizza chain in Boston I really liked and that wasn't greasy. I think it was called Bertucci's.

I used to like only pepperoni, but I've been experimenting some. I think my favorite is pepperoni and pineapple. I don't like the ham or canadian bacon that usually comes with pineapple (i.e. "hawaiian").

Now I'm hungry. I must go to lunch...

-Hepcat

[fascination]

favorite is pepperoni...like mushrooms spinach green olives black olives...and finely ground sausage as well but never met a pepperoni I didnt like...prefer thin crust or deep dish but not a thick crust...like alot of sauce...love cold pizza for breakfast....

[Indiana_Jay]

never met a pepperoni I didnt like

What's the deal with Chicago style pizza? What exactly does that mean, anyway? :?
There might be a variety of definitions, but to me "Chicago style" refers to a very deep dish pie, smothered with cheese. In my opnion, the consumate example is the pie served by Geno's East on Superior Street near Michigan Avenue. They have a web site, but I don't remember if forum guidelines allow me to provide it here.

[RIdancer82]

Now that I came across this thread, I am sooooo craving pizza! I knew I shouldn't have read this one, lol.

[lynn]

I've got a few slices of pizzas left in my fridge and now i'm wondering whether or not i should just microwave them or just throw them in the oven and hope they'll come out not-rock-hard!

[pygmalion]

If you put them in the oven, they turn out more pizza-like and less chewy than in the microwave, IMO. You can avoid rock-hard of you sprinkle them with a TEENY bit of water and wrap them in aluminum foil, to heat them. :cool:

[DancePoet]

I had a sausage pizza at Pizzeria Uno last weekend. :shock:

I can't recall the last time I ate there, like maybe 6 or 7 years ago. I have so often been disaapointed with the service that is rec'd, or perhaps lack there of at these places.

Anyway, I got daring, and I hadn't had old fashioned Chicago style in a while. Unfortunately, I was surprised at the size seeming to be smaller then the last time I ordered one of their big pizzas, even further back then my last visit to a P.U. It tasted good, and I enjoyed the conversation with my SO. Heck the service wasn't bad, yet it did seem like she didn't want to really be there. Oh well. Could be longer till I go again.

[Twilight_Elena]

Mmmm....you're making me hungry, Elena. You're also making me remember fondly (what we nicknamed) the "Carcass Pizza" that a friend and I ordered from Eastown Pizza (http://www.citymedia.ca/cgi-bin/publish.cgi?p=141&s=restaurants) in London, Ontario. We had driven down to pick up my sister from school after an exam and decided to pop in after seeing the sign advertising award-winning pizza. Oh my goodness, it was delightful! Four cheeses, pepperoni, bacon, ham, sausage, ground beef, chicken and prosciutto. They also offer the "Cheech and Chong", which is a hemp pizza and actually pretty good!

[pygmalion]

Hemp pizza? You've gotta be kidding! :lol:

[It's Wonderful]

Hmmmm, crispy thin pizza with no sauce, just fresh tomatoes, garlic, and basil on the top for dinner. Soooo good!

[DancePoet]

Haven't had pizza in awhile, but I'm getting hungry ... hmmm, wonder if the SO has anything planned ... if not, maybe I'll suggest pizza!

[DancePoet]

Oooh! It's a done deal ... pizza ordered, bacon with extra bacon! Yummy! :banana:

[fascination]

hot or cold, lots of sauce, thin crust, pepperoni and mushroom ...green olives are a bonus, jalapenos wouldn't hurt either

[samina]

Had chicken marsala pizza last night - was decent.

But i'd really like the version you just described, fasc...salty, piquant, massively flavorful. Never had that combo.
