someone who has spent literally thousands of hours making pizza for money
I did this too and I won't deny crust is important but sauce is the main thing. some places make really sweet sauce and it sucks ass.

so many spin-off threads, I guess pizza stimulates everyone's imagination

I just saw the word 'pizza' in the thread title and came in to make a remark about pizza. Some people seem to eat a lot of it.

cheese is more important to me than sauce, but crust is most important, so mostly agree with this poll
also love pepperoni and anchovies
― Dan S, Friday, 12 June 2020 01:37 (three years ago) link
Just ate a pizza with fine crust and sauce but the cheese was not right. That's why I voted cheese. Pizza is a vehicle for melted cheese.

I just really don’t like the words “bread” “sauce” and “cheese” all together so much, it does not evoke delicious pizza thoughts
― brimstead, Friday, 12 June 2020 21:32 (three years ago) link
bread let alone “crust” ick
I know pizza dough is considered a type of bread but it doesn't seem anything like bread to me. I guess it's just a matter of flour protein and yeast content and treatment
― Dan S, Saturday, 13 June 2020 00:37 (three years ago) link
i would've voted for cheese even though i recognize that crust is the thing. but the cheese is ultimately why i'm there
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 13 June 2020 00:41 (three years ago) link
I'd wager that pizza dough has been more intensively studied by 'food scientists' than any other bready substance.
― A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 13 June 2020 00:42 (three years ago) link
would y'all eat an all crust pizza

honestly yeah

Could you please stop bumping this thread, I wouldn't want to inadvertently order pizza right now.

wait can u place a pizza order via ILX thread now
― Dig Dug the police (Neanderthal), Saturday, 13 June 2020 00:46 (three years ago) link
I look forward to the cheese most, but I think that that is because most pizza crusts are good but not great and I love cheese.
I have only had a few experiences where the crust is perfect, but those have been memorable
― Dan S, Saturday, 13 June 2020 00:49 (three years ago) link
I think a couple of those experiences were with wood fired pizza

ILX PIZZA ORDER
hi System, plz order me three cheese pizza, largetake the pizza back if they use the word "base"-Neanderthal
― Dig Dug the police (Neanderthal), Saturday, 13 June 2020 00:55 (three years ago) link
I make pizza crust from scratch, while my housemate uses Trader Joe frozen pizza crusts. And yet his pizza is consistently better than mine, because he knows the secret of making really delicious pizza sauce. So I voted for sauce.

beautiful balancing act, pizza
I suppose the most important component is really the spirit in which it is offered

Speaking of all crust pizza, there was a pizza place in Boston I used to go to that served rolls made from their pizza dough, and they were damn good.

thought you meant actual “pizza rolls” for a second there, I was like wow
― brimstead, Saturday, 13 June 2020 01:47 (three years ago) link
a pizza dough roll is hard to imagine. what do you all think of cornmeal crusts?
― Dan S, Saturday, 13 June 2020 01:50 (three years ago) link
Vicolo Pizza was my first experience with cornmeal crust in the late 80s/90s. They are long closed now but I think their idea of a crust made of wheat flour, corn meal and soybean oil was really good
― Dan S, Saturday, 13 June 2020 02:01 (three years ago) link
recently discovered a local pizza mini chain that makes it with
1. medium thickness crust/base, like a slightly upscale version of a corner place slice; not flimsy but not like eating a loaf of bread2. slightly fancy toppings, many of them spicy3. an uncooked tomato sauce base with a lovely sweetness (they have alfredo pizzas as well but have yet to try)
and I may never go back in any of these respects
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Sunday, 14 June 2020 07:14 (three years ago) link
As much as I love alfredo and all other non-tomato-based pasta sauces, I have never taken the plunge on a slice of pizza with anything other than the red.
― Dirty Epic H. (Eric H.), Sunday, 14 June 2020 14:25 (three years ago) link
Carbonara may be my favorite dish ever, but I'd never get a pizza version of it.
what do you all think of cornmeal crusts?
i'm a fan of putting some cornmeal in dough. adds a nice texture so long as not too much is added and yeast is rendered useless. like up to 20% by volume i guess, but probably more like 10-15%
― medicate for all (outdoor_miner), Sunday, 14 June 2020 15:18 (three years ago) link
I saw a place list "aioli base sauce" which seems terrigying
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Sunday, 14 June 2020 15:26 (three years ago) link
mmm white sauce pizza (olive oil, garlic, spices) with a spinach/marinated red onion/prosciutto top is an all time favorite
― sleeve, Sunday, 14 June 2020 16:49 (three years ago) link
Kinda reminds me of this clam pie a buddy made once that I still plan on recreating.
