Ok. Here we are with the basic ingredients: dough, mozzarella, tomato sauce and olive oil.

Now, choose everything else you want on it... from artichokes to pepperoni.

I like my pizza topped with human souls.

Yes please. Peppers, mushrooms and black olives. Maybe some capers.

Pizza is perfection just the way it is.

Everything except artichokes and anchovies.
Too bad the pancakes is out of order. :(

Provolone, feta, pesto, sundried tomatoes, black olives, tomato sauce and a thin crust. :)

what no cheesy bites option?!?

I hope you are being ironic...you will be suggesting tandoori chicken on a pizza next.

but it makes the crust so exciting :)

anything is fine except the meat and fish. I'm also not really a big olive fan, so use those in moderation please.

Mushrooms, olives, sausage, pepperoni, extra cheese. Not a fan of anything exotic.

...that triple cheese surprise?

now you're just being picky.

Caviar and Fois Gras. Because I'd have to assume those would be nice, or people wouldn't pay so much for them.

As for what I actually eat Pizza with, it's anchovies and peppers, usually. Mmm.

Where is the pineapple? GIVE ME IT!

I've always wondered why large pizza chains take so long cooking I mean I've been to this one place that is just like domino's and you watch them cook the pizzas and such...they take maybe 5 minuets at the most!

exactly, I always thought that the purpose of fast-food restaurants was fast food. Watching your food being made is always cool btw.

Ziti. Yum.

Pizza is meant to be cooked at high heat and very fast, makes it great fast food. Why chains take so long I'll never know. I had pizza last night and it took near an hour. Though it was really really good pizza.


Now, Cold pizza (fridge) or room temperature? Personally I prefer room temperature, putting it in the refrigerator to cool makes it too solid, loses all it's lovely texture.

sadly I don't think there is a French gourmet chef in the back going "No! No! thiz pizza is le shit! make it again with extra lobster!"

yes French chefs often use exclamation marks in regular conversation

I think it depends on the pizza, I prefer ice cold spicy pizza

cold pizza? why not warm it or something, I really wouldn't eat cold pizza.

because pizza is even better cold.

Cold pizza is good, often better than hot. Used to love cold pizza as a kid, but I've learned to appreciate the texture component of cool pizza rather than a slab of cold.

I can't believe that, cold once molten cheeze looks disgusting really.

Sure, but look doesn't determine taste.

You've really never gone to the fridge at midnight and grabbed a cold slice?


weirdo ;)

Nuked pizza never comes out quite right, doesn't revive like it ought to.

What? You disdain pineapple? What is the matter with you?!?!!?

I hate the taste. Too acidic.

nah...the crust just gets crappy. And sure, you could reheat it in the oven, but then the crust is overcooked and it takes way too long

Per me una Quattro Stagioni, grazie. ;)

hmm, I never even keep pizza in the fridge, I always finish it. when I have the opportunity (and probably while drunk, I don't see myself doing something like that while sober) I will try some cold pizza.

People should try artichoke on pizza. It can be really nice.

How about some goat cheese and fresh roma tomato - either "white" or regular?

Or maybe some spicy beef pepperoni and pineapple?

Ooh, or a CA Pizza Kitchen BBQ chicken pizza (smoked gouda, seasoned white chicken, barbecue sauce, red onion, and cilantro)?

Or why not a plain old classic five-cheese pizza - mozzarella, parmesan, asiago, fontina, and romano?

This poll leaves out all the good stuff...

That's why you use the oven. 350F for 8 to 10 minutes. Perfect balance of hot and crust preservation. Any longer and you're eating crostini with toppings.

The best non-chain pizza I've ever had comes from Village Pizza in Roslyn, WA (the little town that played Cicely, AK on the 90's CBS TV show, Northern Exposure). They offer garlic as a topping in and of itself -- diced cloves of loveliness in light, medium or heavy denominations. My favorite there was chicken, cashews, red onion and garlic with BBQ sauce. Also liked spinach, cashew and chicken in alfredo sauce.

Of the chains, I most consistently order from Papa Murphy's (talk about watching it being made -- they do a Mediterranean that's feta, spinach, chicken and sun-dried tomatoes with a bit of mozzarella that's quite nice on a thin crust) or Papa John's (when I'm feeling too lazy to pop something in the oven and save about $10...which is very rare anymore). Pizza Hut and Domino's are abominations before the Pizza God and should be smote.

For my money -- and they're expensive, but worth it once in a while -- the best chain is Round Table Pizza. The King Arthur Supreme: pepperoni, salami, sausage, linguica(!), mushrooms, green bells, olives, onions. Past excellent!

A five cheese pizza sounds 'dairy heavy' to me and defeats the purpose of a great pizza which, I believe, is to allow all the ingredients to shine! In my book, pizza is really..."less is more".

That's why the Neapolitan classic..."Pizza Margherita" is all I need. Fresh tomatoes (I prefer 'plum'), buffalo mozzarella, basil, fine-quality olive oil, oregano and a suberb crust (thin). Every flavor holds it's own, yet the melange is unbearably delicious!

And 'the wash'?.....Zinfandel, please. The spice notes can compete and actually enhance the herbal power of the basil and oregano.

BTW, I'm a food & wine educator. ;)

I like my pizza topped with human souls.

better yet, fetuses. Though I prefer simply cheese to top mine.

Who controls the posting of shit like this?

I feel ill so I guess that makes you feel great. Perhaps this isn't a place for the sane.

Actually, my favourite pizza doesn't have tomato sauce.. or cheese..

Unnecessarily dusgusting.

Besides, how can you decide on which sauce goes best with fetus?

But it's in the pizza section of the menu..

We call that 'bread'...

I am so sorry.

no such thing:p

And everyone knows tomato and garlic is by far the best.

But it's in the pizza section of the menu..

That restaurant must be run by chimps or something. Putting bread under the pizza section, the nerve.

my favourite toppings are pepperoni, chicken, sweetcorn, spicy beef, ham, sometimes egg, etc... mostly meat.

a restaurant near me does a great Calzone with chicken, meatballs, bolognese sauce, and chillis. very tasty :D

then your favourite pizza isn't pizza good sir.

Or...ya know...a white pizza.

Champagne grapes, red peppers and, sparingly, brie.

Yes, I've had/made a pizza like this. I also added cornmeal and saffron broth into the crust. It was at a big party and little did I know, I would be besieged by the partygoers for the next three hours to make MORE. I had to go incognito when we ran out of ingredients.

I had a really good pizza when I was in Naples over the summer.

It had onions, garlic, prosciutto, and some other meat on it. It was the best part of that city.

Where is the pineapple? GIVE ME IT!
The Pineapple!

Where is it?

I shall be ordering two pizzas:

The first, an animal rights atrocity, will be topped with ham, bacon, back bacon, beef, pepperoni, salami, and all other similar meats that the pizzaria in question serves.

The second will have beef, bacon, and onion. Most places completely fuck this pizza up by doing the onion wrong.

How do you do the onion properly?

And, the most important question, what kind of onion is it?

Pork fillet and bearnaise for me, thanks. And no mozzarella, that cheese tastes nothing whatsoever.

How do you do the onion properly?

Lots of places have their onion as if it was going to be used to make onion rings: big thick blocks that are scattered across the pizza. Sometimes they chop those into smaller bits; that lessens the damage, but it is still damaging.

The correct way is to slice the onion in to thin wisps that are as wide as a layer is thick. Then you spread it fairly evenly over the pizza. The end result has a much more even oniony taste across the entire pizza. The wrong methods end up with mouthfuls without onion, and others that are nothing but onion.

I am pretty sure they use white onion. It tends to complement other flavors better.

no such thing:p

And everyone knows tomato and garlic is by far the best.

Really? I would have thought something along the lines of a white sauce or a BBQ to either pair or overwhelm the tang of amniotic fluid. Hmmm...

Oh, then I weep for you, for you have not had fresh mozzarella. It is heaven.

I am also a big fan of stuff like buffalo chicken on pizza

Usually plain is all I like. I will eat pepperoni though.

Orgasmic, even.

Peppercheese. :D

ham, pineapple, and jalapenos!

Orgasmic, even.

Spoken like someone who knows their orgasms!



I'll have what he's having....

Pepperoni, pork sausage, mushrooms, onions, black olives. Heavy on the sauce. Well done. Cut into squares.

It's a bacon/chicken/ranch pizza.

sounds good. I should send you an apizza...you'd probably like it.

My pizza should have pineapple, hot peppers and red onions. It can also have some mushrooms, black olives and green peppers too. Also, a nice creamy garlic dipping sauce is awesome.

You can send it with the cider donuts. ;)

Also, get your pizza out of me cheesesteak! Why do they do that? =(

.. and guess what I found out? We're taking our senior trip to Philly and we're taking a Duck tour! In the information we got from their website, the encourage you to quack to get the locals attention! *doesn't want to be associated with quackers*

mushrooms & pepperoni for me

NEVAR!

I may or may not be considering renting out one of the big duck boats around here and having a kegger on it...

Actually, I love BBQ chicken pizza with lots of red onions. Haven't had it in ages though. The best pizza place in East Lansing just happens to be one of the more expensive. :(

Actually, the Pizza Margherita isn't the neapolitan classic - it was invented in late XIX century, when Queen Margherita di Savoia visited Naples, hence its name. Btw, the original "Margherita" has no oregano because it covers somewhat the basil. The "Margherita" was also chosen as hommage to the colours of the flag of the newly-established Kingdom of Italy, with green (basil), white (mozzarella) and red (tomato).
The Neapolitan classics are what is called the "Marinara" today (tomato sauce, garlic, olive oil and nothing else, not even cheese) and current-day "Napoletana" (tomato sauce, mozzarella, olive oil, anchovies, oregano, and no capers!).

btw, why the hell do all these people want pineapple on pizza... yeech... disgustingly sweet, it has nothing to do with real pizza... damn Hawaii!!!

No Salami. Fail.
