Heh I find that gross but then again I can't be on my high horse too much cause whatever topping I have on my pizza I will proceed to ruin it w hot sauce

considering that margherita is the standard by which pizzerias and pizza itself can and should be judged, I would not hesitate to order one at any time.

Huh? Blue cheese can be incredible on pizza. There's no rules

Evan, Monday, 6 November 2017 20:14 (six years ago) link

put anything you want on pizza just go easy on the pile ups

Granny Dainger OTM. Pizza is a canvas on which to paint

ok but can we agree that it should be a canvas and not a sculpture/diorama

i knew someone who'd order Margherita pizzas and then pour over an entire bottle of garlic sauce..

Ludo, Monday, 6 November 2017 20:19 (six years ago) link

inspired by this thread, tt and I are sitting in a pizza restaurant right now

we have based our order on a reading of this thread

she has ordered the margherita and I have ordered a pizza with salmon, mascarpone and rocket as three of its principal ingredients

bbq pizza is good! Used to eat the frozen CPK bbq chicken ones til I dared to look at the sugar total. yikes.

I am usually a pizza traditionalist but some of the best pizzas I've ever had were a thin crust BBQ chicken pizza with light BBQ sauce as the base and, my gold standard non-traditional pizza I've never seen recreated, a taco pizza with a base refried beans topped with seasoned taco beef, black olives, cheddar and mozzarella cheese with fresh lettuce, sour cream and salsa added to the top post-oven.

that taco pizza is standard around here, although my fave place does it without lettuce

heinz "taco sauce" is the necessary condiment to put on it

mh, Monday, 6 November 2017 20:42 (six years ago) link

mh, Monday, 6 November 2017 20:44 (six years ago) link

again I would eat almost all of these pizzas

Simon H., Monday, 6 November 2017 20:46 (six years ago) link

would try all of those. had to look up what finocchiona is.

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Monday, 6 November 2017 20:47 (six years ago) link

but "olive oil" is not a sauce and that shit is a flatbread being passed off as pizza.

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Monday, 6 November 2017 20:47 (six years ago) link

chicken, red grapes, peppadews, goat cheese, greens

ew. ew.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 6 November 2017 20:48 (six years ago) link

I thought finocchiona said finocchio which is fennel. Seems its actually a salamiof somesort.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 6 November 2017 20:49 (six years ago) link

i don't know what most of that stuff is

soft egg... intriguing

brimstead, Monday, 6 November 2017 20:49 (six years ago) link

"prosciutto, guanciale, lardo / White Sauce" ok this seems a bit much

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Monday, 6 November 2017 20:51 (six years ago) link

if you've got guanciale lying around, why not make a pizza all'Amatriciana instead?

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Monday, 6 November 2017 20:52 (six years ago) link

Sure look anything is a pizza now father

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 6 November 2017 20:54 (six years ago) link

would it surprise you to know that the taco pizza I'm describing came from the Pizza Ranch I worked in during senior year of high school

DID ANYONE ORDER ME A PLAIN CHEESE

kinder, Monday, 6 November 2017 21:04 (six years ago) link

i can't fuck w/ a taco pizza

marcos, Monday, 6 November 2017 21:05 (six years ago) link

if you flatten a taco, it's a pizza

Simon H., Monday, 6 November 2017 21:06 (six years ago) link

and it follows that if you fold your pizza slice, you're now eating a taco

Simon H., Monday, 6 November 2017 21:07 (six years ago) link

what question is this? who says no ? they should be banned asap

Is margherita my first choice? Not usually - I will always go for pizza with sausage, especially Sardinian sausage. Is margherita a good choice nevertheless? Yes, yes it is.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 6 November 2017 21:43 (six years ago) link

DJP, apparently Pizza Ranch expanded north a hell of a lot earlier than south. We only got that place a few years ago

mh, Monday, 6 November 2017 21:53 (six years ago) link

tbf there was only the one in my home town and it only lasted about 5 years

Memory of ordering a pepperoni pizza at an Italian pizza place in Germany, receiving a margherita pizza covered in sweat-inducing peppers.
