Pizzah Pies

[Artie Owl]

Have we ever done a "how do you like your pizza" thread? I can't remember so I'll share how I like mine.

 

Typically I like a baked pizza, thick crust, with tomato sauce, pepperoni, cheese, green peppers and bacon. I can also do mushrooms, hot peppers, ham, mozzarella, or bbq sauce, but not on the same pie.

 

I will not do anchovies, feta, or black or green olives, no. dice.

 

I like square pizza slices because it makes it feel like there is more pizza rather than wedges; I am not opposed to the wedge shape however.

 

Lately my pizza place of choice (in terms of a national chain anyway) has been Pizza Hut, it's got a good grease that can be eaten or baked off later if you want to have it as left overs.

 

(I am craving pizza and having some tonight with Leyna, and also; Beer)

 

[Mr. Natural]

I love pizza; any kind, any time! I much prefer smaller, mom-&-pop pizzerias, but I do Pizza Hut, too. The best, by far, pizza that I ever had was at King Pizza in Fayetteville, AR. back in the late '70s.

 

PIZZA - It's not just for breakfast any more.

[Jeff-7]

I don't really have any quality pizza joints in my area. I get Pizza Hut when I order out here - it's always been my favorite chain. I did eat Papa John's for a while, but it was the last solid food I ate when I caught mono and threw it all up (survived on gatorade and shakes etc. literally for a month because my throat swelled and it hurt too bad to eat anything that required chewing), I can literally smell it now as soon as I enter a room and it makes me a bit nauseous.

 

When I lived in Andover - right outside Wichita - they had a chain called Old Chicago. Good pizza and they had a "world beer tour" which was pretty fun. Best pizza I ever had was in Chicago though. I get either a meat lover's style or fully loaded supreme, and it has to be a thick crust.

[Mr. Natural]

Yeah, I've some good pizza in Chicago, too. But that King Pizza in Fayetteville was (is still?) incredible. Plus, A. Owl, they cut it into square pieces.

I don't remember ever eating there when I went to college at U of Arkansas. Might still be there though for all I know.

St.louis style

[Shnate McDuanus]

Frank's Express Pizza on 23rd Street in Manhattan makes the best pizza around.

 

 

Some day soon, I've got to find a really good pizza joint here in Westminster.

I was there the fall semester of '78. I heard at the time that King Pizza had been opened by a couple of U or A students from New York a few years earlier. There was a location at the north end of town in a strip center parking lot, but the one that my (then) wife and I frequented was just down the street, walking distance from the campus. It was fabulous pizza. It really was. And I have had pizza in Chicago, on the west coast, St. Louis, Kansas City, and New York City (well, would you believe Ft. Lee, NJ?), but King Pizza was the best.

Ah I didn't start there until the fall of '02. I'll text my cousin and see if it's still there.

[Jeff-7]

He just texted me back, apparently it's still there. We always ate at Guido's, never had a chance to hit it up.

Pizza is like sex, there is good and there is better but not really a bad.

[Silenced Fred]

Just plain ol' Pizza. I'll eat any type of pizza really. Best I have ever had is from a local joint, garlic, sausage and pepperoni

[Mr. Natural]

There's probably some bad pizza out there somewhere, but I haven't yet had any that I couldn't eat.

[WahKeen]

If "you are what you eat", then I'm an extra large, double crusty, meat loving, cheesy, mushroom filled, hand tossed crusted, tomato sauce drippin', Italian sausage slobbering, thick, circular walking pie with arms and legs.

...

 

The terms "meat loving" and "Italian sausage slobbering" have me worried...

[Versatile]

Most of the pizza houses in my area are franchises

Except for a really nice one which called itself 'American Pizza'

Specialising in thin crust with every type of topping

And also a variety of pasta dishes

Mrs Versatile and I would often dine there and enjoy a carafe of wine in

Very convivial surroundings

The stone oven was on show as a feature and allowed everybody to

See the flames inside

Real dough, real food cooked to order was a treat for all

 

It has now gone and been replaced by some faux

Red fronted Cafe Francais franchise

 

C'est la Vie....as Chuck Berry would say !!

Pizza Hut

For consistency, I don't think you can beat Pizza Hut.

 

Meat Lovers, plus onions.

I'll smother it in black pepper myself.

Maybe grab some banana peppers from the salad bar and rip them apart over it too.

 

The wife has started buying frozen pizza (DiGiorno maybe?) and adding the stuff I like.

Start out with a cheap pepperoni or the like.

Add all the ham, Italian sausage and onions it'll hold, dust it with a little grated cheddar - perfection.

The crust is pretty damned good if the proper perforated pan is used for baking.

 

I don't like thick, doughy, "bread" type crusts.

Thinner is better, as long as it's not hard as a rock. Somewhere in between is perfect.

 

 

Never really a big salad eater, but Pizza Hut has the BEST creamy Italian dressing.

That alone is cause enough to head to the salad bar!

[sparky scott 29]

It seems like there is a pizza joint at every corner here in michigan.

I like my pizza well done, but every time I tell them that, it seems like the dough is still rising when I get it home.

[WahKeen]

Well, I don't know about your Pizza Huts but the one here is just horrid. The buffets are awful. Big pan crusts with hardly any tomato sauce and toppings. I will say this though, lately the delivery hand tossed meat lovers etc... ARE real good. The $10 large any toppings were hard to beat. Now they have 3 toppings for $10 and they're not too shabby. But their buffet? For the boids...

[NeoConMan]

Yeah, I don't do buffet dining on ANYTHING but Oriental food.

Went to Golden Corral a few weeks ago with Mrs. Neo and remembered why I hate 'em so much.

 

Old trick - some places will let you order a pizza when they are serving the buffet.

Ask 'em for whatever you want on one, eat a salad while you wait.

Keep an eye out for it to land on the serving table and snatch it up.

 

Doesn't cost anything more than the normal buffet price.

 

Try it.

[ZenKen]

Damn you guys..... now I want a pizza! B)
