Would you ever order a margherita pizza?

ogmor otm obv

Pizza with an egg on it is called "pizza fiorentina" where I've encountered* it in the uk btw

*eaten & enjoyed

i had a nice one recently with a hole cut in the middle of the pizza and the egg fried within

Detroit-style pizza is built, from the bottom up, like so: crust -> toppings -> cheese -> sauce

That sauce-on-cheese pizza looks surprisingly good. Still feels wrong, though.

I like eggs a lot but I'm super fussy about what they're allowed to go with/touch on a plate. You could say I'm an... egg-regationist.

The egg should be put in raw and baked with the rest of the pizza (or added halfway through), sticking a fried egg on a pizza is bullshit.

I'm a big fan of pizza bianca, which is really just a delicious big flat bread with olive oil, salt and rosemary. Was turned on to it by Sullivan Street Bakery, whose Jim Lahey offered this legendary recipe:

Jim Lahey’s Pizza Bianca
Sullivan Street Bakery

Makes two long pizzas

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon instant dry yeast
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 sprig fresh rosemary

1. Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, sugar, and yeast in the bowl of an electric mixer, and slowly add 1 cup cold water. Mix on low speed until ingredients begin to combine, increase speed to medium-high, and continue to mix for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and cleanly pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl.

2. Place dough in an oiled bowl, and allow to rest for 2 to 4 hours until it has doubled in size. Split the dough into halves, and form each into a log. Place each log on a generously floured surface, and allow it to rest until the formed dough doubles in size again, at least 1 hour.

3. Put dough on a lightly floured baker’s peel. Dimple dough by pressing it down with your fingertips. Work the dough outward toward the edges of the peel until you reach your desired size and thickness, about 1/4 inch. Drizzle with remaining olive oil, rosemary and sprinkle with remaining salt.

4. Place a baking stone, sometimes known as a pizza stone, in the oven. Set oven to broil, about 520 degrees. Slide pizza onto baking stone with the baker’s peel. Bake until the bubbles range from golden to deep brown in color, 10 to 12 minutes.

I had Detroit style...in Telluride. One of best pizzas I've ever had! Brown Dog pizza. Place has won national awards. Have no way to know if it's "true" Detroit style tho.

Detroit making a mockery of 'toppings' quite frankly.

I am ambivalent about egg on normal pizza but what about

.. breakfast pizza?

here is a breakfast pizza in its native habitat, the convenience store/gas station

p sure pizza fiorentina is so named bcz the topping is basically eggs florentine (viz poached egg with spinach)

I think potatoes on pizza are pretty good, so I imagine breakfast pizza would make perfect sense.

breakfast pizza as i know and understand it:

all pizza is breakfast pizza

no potatoes on any I've had

A thin layer of delicious cheese sauce covered with scrambled eggs, mozzarella and cheddar cheese, and your choice of smoked bacon crumbles, breakfast sausage, diced ham, or green pepper and onion.

wins otm though, nothing like a leftover slice

"breakfast pizza" -> omelette ingredients (egg, cheese, bacon/ham/sausage, onion, green pepper) on pizza crust

Yeah, I have never been to Detroit, but the best pizzas I've ever had have all been Detroit style... VIA 313 and Jet Pizza here in Austin, Barry's Pizza down in Houston, BJ's Brewhouse has an interesting variant of it (round pan, an even thicker but airier crust) but since franchising their pizza is getting less and less delicious. And of course, the Little Caesar's Pan! Pan! pizza (now called Deep! Deep! I believe) which will destroy your guts if you do not have an iron constitution but is total sensory overload when done right.

Mashed potato pizza is pretty good.

agreed, have had mashed potato pizza, approaches twice-baked potato in consistency/taste

Breakfast pizza = dicing up the leftover pizza and sauteing in a pan with eggs etc.

interesting

bubble and squizza

I moved back to Michigan this year and am eating cold leftover Detroit-style pizza as I read this thread. I really missed it and didn't appreciate as I should have when I used to live here.

The pacific northwest has fucking terrible pizza, like they heard a description of it from far away and tried to copy it and you might consider it to be good if you've never been anywhere else. In Michigan everyone does it slightly different and even the shittiest regional chains have better pizza than the default in Washington.

The one pizza I loved in Washington was this: https://fazzaris.com/shotsy/. It's got mustard sauce, mozzerella and swiss, polish sausage, onions, and sauerkraut which barely even feels like pizza but it's delicious.

What is pazzi really?

I hate deep dish, but Pequod's really is the best

I ate at a Paulie Gee's on Sunday, however, and they have a blue cheese and mushroom pizza titled "Cream of Some Fungi" which is possibly the worst attempt at a funny name for any food ever. so basically wtf, chicago.

Paulie Gee's has a Chicago location?? I go to the one in Greenpoint BK

yep, we were at logan square

"Cream of Some Fungi" has been in the childish joke lexicon forever so more wink-wink than failed attempt. but also failed attempt.

who's gotten they mouth on a mashed potato pizza before?

l: steak & french fry
r: mac & cheese

There's some pretty good pizza places in Seattle these days but it was grim for a while - the local chain that would win Best Pizza in Seattle every year is just depressing.

Once had a soft-shell crab pizza at now-infamous Comet Pizza & Ping Pong

tbf for a long time I did parent a child who would only eat margherita, it was infuriating. He's grown out of it now.

Way to go, crushing a child's gentle spirit like this.

A white pie with shrimp, capers, and lemon is pretty delicious. I'm so hungry right now.

there's a Chicago-style place in Seattle that operates in the back of a distillery now, but used to be by pre-order only & you had to pick it up in an empty parking lot when nobody was watching

Bacon and egg on pizza is pretty common here, its usually called an Aussie.

One of my favorite pizzas ever was an Alsatian-style tarte flambée at a hotel restaurantl I worked with. Uplands cheese, Neuske bacon, wood-fired.

re: Pacific NW:
https://www.sizzlepie.com/ <--- Went here last time I was in Oregon, and ate the hell out of "The Ol' Dirty" (Salami, Ricotta, Olive Oil and Pepperoncinis)

seattle has a patxi's, which is a weird west coast + colorado deep dish chain

Brooklyn's Roberta's is doing a pop up here this weekend. One of the four pizzas on offer is margherita.

Like the drink?!

like the thread title.

I'm joking.

I'm not

brb, squeezing a lime on my salt-rimmed pizza

what's funny is before I caught it autocorrect had indeed spelled it like the drink. that would be such a sloppy gross mess it would only get eaten if you were already drunk.
