anyway on a serious note strikes me that ordering a margherita is akin to ordering a cucumber roll at a top sushi place - trying to get a feel for how they do the rice, assembly, etc. before moving on to the more serious stuff.

as always with food threads, particularly pizza ones, posts by people outside the US should probably be a different color, be marked somehow, or ideally be subject to moderation before being posted and likely deleted

I judge a Mexican place by its cheese-only nachos. Sick of people ruining nachos by putting other tasty ingredients on them!!
Similarly, I like a good al pastor or chicken taco with maybe cilantro and salsa, but none of the extra other toppings that can turn Mexican into synonymous with sour cream and goo.
― Eazy, Monday, 6 November 2017 18:25 (six years ago) link
There's not often tomato sauce, cheese, basil, garlic & crust that are so much better on their own that you'd choose it over another option on the menu that expands on those ingredients with added detail. If you can get it by the slice, it's a different story.
I also don't order basic pasta + sauce dishes at restaurants either. Very rarely do they justify $14.99, yet somehow they get away with charging that price at millions of boring Italian restaurants. However, there's a few places in the city that are very much worth it.

guys it's ok to admit that you just don't like pizza

If you're in Naples, by all means order the margarita, preferably with bufala mozzarella. It will be the best pizza you've ever eaten. If you're at a place that throws tomato slices on a cheese pizza and calls that a margarita, avoid at all costs.
― o. nate, Monday, 6 November 2017 18:30 (six years ago) link
al pastor? salsa??? I always order just a tortilla filled with cilantro and onions to get a feel for a tacqueria.

Voted Y as in Y the hell would you even ask this but I think I might get kicked off the team if I admit that, although margherita is obv delicious, I have a feeling you can also judge the quality of a pizzeria by... the other pizzas that they make

It's rare that I order anything other than margherita, it's definitely the yardstick, often the cheapest, often the best.
Also I sent Colette this thread and when she saw this list:
MargheritaVegetarianchilli BeefHam & MushroomLamb & MintBacon & BrieGrilled peppers & HaloumiPepperoniPesto & PepperBBQ Pulled PorkBBQ ChickenBlue cheese, rocket and Balsamic GlazeGoats cheese and Red onionHam hock and EdamPort salut and Peppardew peppers
she genuinely assumed it was someone's joke list of worst possible options to put on pizzas rather than a serious list. Actually maybe it is just a joke? The ham hock and edam surely can't be real?
― toby, Monday, 6 November 2017 19:10 (six years ago) link
I would order a margherita pizza and then add pepperoni and sausage to it because, generally speaking, I want every pizza I eat to have pepperoni and sausage on it.

wait hold up, ham hock and edam????? dammit do I have to read this thread now

i'm usually not into indie toppings but i like the pumpkin and prosciutto pizza at this joint up the street
― omar little, Monday, 6 November 2017 19:14 (six years ago) link
although this is probably giving me the biggest giggles: Blue cheese, rocket and Balsamic Glaze
― the Hannah Montana of the Korean War (DJP), Monday, 6 November 2017 19:14 (six years ago) link
honestly that one is a bit weird but tbh I would eat almost all/any of these

arugula
ah
I mean I like arugula! have yall really never seen a wackier pizza menu than this?
― Simon H., Monday, 6 November 2017 19:17 (six years ago) link
"ham hock and Edam" seems weirdly specific
― the Hannah Montana of the Korean War (DJP), Monday, 6 November 2017 19:18 (six years ago) link
Also, "bacon and brie" as a pizza better not be on a tomato-based sauce
― the Hannah Montana of the Korean War (DJP), Monday, 6 November 2017 19:19 (six years ago) link
"ham and mushroom" sounds like someone wanted to make a savory Hawaiian pizza

i love bbq but it does not belong on a pizza imo
― marcos, Monday, 6 November 2017 19:20 (six years ago) link
right, is nothing more offensive than bbq + cheese and bread?!
oh wait no that's delicious
― Simon H., Monday, 6 November 2017 19:21 (six years ago) link
my only experience w/blue cheese + pizza was when i was on the east coast and you'd get these really doughy and soft giant pizzas and they'd come with a bowl of blue cheese on the side (usually you'd get some hot wings too) and you'd dip everything in that gunk.
