Well, I decided to eat some pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and peppers for breakfast this morning, so I figured that would be a good reason to post a thread about pizza. What is your favorite kind of pizza? Is there a place where you prefer to get pizza? Tell us about it here!
-
I make my own pizza bases, then put a small amount of tomato sauce on it and completely cover it with German pepperoni. I hate cheese.
-
I love the margaritta the pizza & kebab shop near me makes, yeah each bite takes a week off my life but it is a circle of heaven.
-
I like "everything" on it and generally go for the "house special" whatever that is.
But no chicken, pineapple, broccoli, or other "weird" stuff.
ANCHOVIES RULE !
-
We have a local mom and pop place that has really thin crust and all kinds of crazy toppings and they cut it up in small squares, its the best pizza ever.
The one thing i dislike on Pizza is Italian sausage.
-
I don't like restaurants...
I feel like there's a sense of resentment in the food.
Restaurants: where food is made and served by people who hate their jobs..
Even if your wife makes really terrible tasting food, I think it's still better because at least there's a chance she doesn't hate you or her job as wife.
Now, you can argue that the 1 chef who's also owner, is not resentful, but odds are, he doesn't do most of the cooking..

Fairly certain I get plenty of angst at home too.

Chicken, pineapple, and broccoli are "weird"?! I would think weird toppings wouldn't be toppings they serve EVERYWHERE.

I keep buying keyboard stuff but its like she doesn't even appreciate it.

BBQ (instead of normal sauce, same normal cheese) and chicken is my favorite right now. A close second is spicy chicken and third goes to mushroom and onion
Pizza frys are also really good
-
Pizza Pirates in Upland, Ca does a roasted garlic pizza.
Sourdough crust with roasted chicken, minced garlic, roasted whole garlic cloves, onions, bbq sauce (instead of tomato base), mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheese. This to me is perfection.
-
My favorite has bbq too.
-
There is a pizzeria on the floor below me, but unfortunately their quality has sunk the last few years so I don't eat there alot anymore.
-
Pepperoni & pineapple ftw!
-

Agreed! Local mom and pop pizza stores are the best! Just had a large Sausage Sensation from Papa John's yesterday and it was meh. >:(
-
BBQ sauce on Pizza is disgusting
-
Spending alot of time in Italy, came across the best Pizza... mash-potato's, cheese and sausages.
-
i just recomand to you Cheese pizza
Other is nothing. only full cheese ^-^
-
Salami + Mild pepperoni and Italian style, can't stand the "think like cake" American style ones!
There is a pizzeria 2min. walk away, not bad, but my fav is a 30min. drive away, worth it...
-
Jalapeno, Pineapple, and Olive. Sounds weird, but it's a nice mix of spicy, salty, and sweet.
If I'm making my own pizza, I get the awesome four cheese blend from Trader Joe's and do tomatoe (Roma/Plum), tons of garlic, red onion, green bell pepper, and avocado. It's awesome and by far my favorite pizza.
Broccoli, spinach, and arugula can also be good on pizza sometimes.

Its called Rocket, like cilantro is called coriander ;)

It's arugula here in 'Murica land.
On coriander/cilantro, it's interesting since we call the leaf cilantro and the seed/fruit coriander.

Fruit do not belong into pizza.

pineapple being the only exception

margarita ftw! and pizza is soo good for breakfast.

Nearly anything can go on a pizza, because the dough and mozzarella are mostly flavor neutral.
So the argument comes down to if YOU like the topping, rather than what CAN go on the pizza, assuming the pizza is itself JUST the dough and mozzarella.
-
Yeah, arguing about taste is like arguing about religion or politics, just worse... We should ban it! J/K ;P
-
Fruit do not belong into pizza.
I've had pizza with peaches that was awesome. There are plenty of fruit that could go well on a pizza with the right combination. For example, I'd be willing to bet some of you meat eaters out there would love a prosciutto and melon pizza or an apple, bacon, arugula, and fontina cheese pizza.
Edit: And pear, gorgonzola, mushroom (not those crappy canned or button mushrooms, but good, fresh wild mushrooms), and a dash of truffle oil would be amazing.
-
Hmmmm Trufffllllessss and shrooms
-
I get either everything on it (with extra anchovies), or at the local shop half mexicana and half tandoori chicken.
Hey ... what if you could get pizza with grapes on! ;)
-
Most of the pizza around here sucks, there's this one place Pagliacci that's OK. Better than the chains, but I think it may also be a chain. I miss the east coast.
Things that are good on pizza - goat cheese, prosciutto, sausage, asparagus, onions, bacon. Not all at once, although maybe.
-
Asparagus on Pizza sounds incredible
-
I also call to your recollection this: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=42512.0

The best I've ever had had goat cheese, roasted pine nuts, pesto, mozzarella, and chicken. Don't remember what else was on it since the last time I had it was in 2007. It was on very thin but firm crust, crunchy around the edges.

pine nuts? are they softened after they bake it with the zza.. I'd think they're too hard for pizza.

Uggh, I despised Pagliacci when I was in Seattle. Pizza Pi and Pegasus were good.

I'm spoiled, I live near New Haven CT and NYC. Undisputed.
-
Lots of pizza restaurants in the Northeast, that's for sure!
-
plain, brooklyn style, thin, crusty, and you can drip a 2tsp of oil right from the tip of the slice.

The depression and misery in the people serving/cooking my food just makes it all the more delicious to me.

QFT. Period.

Straight Cheese and Olives. I don't mind an "Ultimate Cheese Pizza" (3 Cheese blend on top with alfredo sauce as the sauce) and I don't hate pepperoni but prefer it not on my pizza.

God, I h8 six flags.

Roasted pine nuts are pretty soft. They use them a lot on pasta.
-
any pizza in italy.
-
Hmm, this is a hard one. I definitely prefer a crunchy, thin crust pizza. For toppings, I really can go for pretty much any combination, but the no brainer for me would be pepperoni and banana peppers. Yum! :p
-
Best pizza ever has got to be a thin crust, white sauce pizza with chicken, broccoli, garlic, and a hint of feta cheese. Best place to get it: Flatbread Pizza. (http://www.flatbreadcompany.com/FlatbreadHome2010.html)
Oh, and did I mention it's made with 100% organic ingredients? :cool:

Free. 'nuff said

i live in nj very close to NYC ~15 min and really its most of the tristate has fantastic pizza.

I like proper Italian-style Capricciosa with black olives, artichokes, mushrooms and ham.
Hipsters go to hell.
-
Had an amazing pizza today with an olive oil base, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, and poached pears. So good, but reliant on the artisan hand-stretched crust to really make it. Wouldn't be as tasty on a traditional 'fluffy' crust.
-
I like Italian style pizza, with thin crust (but not too thin), real marinara sauce and mozzarella. My favourite topping is roasted aubergine (uncommon), but I also like mushrooms and peppers. I once had one that was topped with just marinara sauce, cheese, garlic and capers, which was great.
I like serving it with fresh spinach or roquette on top. I often add some to take-out pizza.
In Sweden, pizza is often served with freshly made sauerkraut ("pizza salad"), which I think is uncommon elsewhere. We don't eat much sauerkraut in Sweden otherwise.
I'm a vegetarian, so I have never tried anchovies.

Grilled aubergine is surprisingly good on pizza. The best pizza I've had apart from the one made by me or mom was in Italy, it had smoked mozzarella, grilled aubergine and spicy salami. So damn good. Not to mention that it's made and served by some of the nicest people I've ever met.
