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 eat most of mh's pizzae tbh

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.

Tre Carne Pizza san marzano tomatoes, fior di latte mozzarella, forno rosso's special local sausage, imported speck, hot sopressata, pecorino romano and basil. finished with extra virgin olive oil. 16.00

Misread this as "The Came Pizza"

omg my family also made the pepperoncini mistake in Germany

I remember my dad saying "... Maybe they are little pepperonis?" before we ordered

Couldn't get in this thread all day because my ridiculous workplace had it flagged as containing adult material (wut). But yes, of course. I am a carnivore and love meat pizzas, but a good margherita is divine. I was (and continue to be) super bummed when Home Run Inn stopped selling their margherita pizza in grocery stores because it is both the best frozen pizza I ever had by far but also probably in my all-time pizza top ten list.

Man, thread got heated, huh. Guess I'll go ahead and address the elephant in the room and assert with confidence that, yes, two pizzas slapped together face-to-face do indeed constitute a sandwich. Your welcome.

Vas the deferens? (Old Lunch), Monday, 6 November 2017 22:45 (six years ago) link

calzone: sandwich or taco, I say yes

mh, Monday, 6 November 2017 23:21 (six years ago) link

i have eaten pizza with doner kebab as a topping at a (quite rough) combination pizza and kebab place in grignan in the rhone valley

mainly i admit so i could tell the world i had eaten it

mark s, Monday, 6 November 2017 23:22 (six years ago) link

oh man, stores not selling fav flavor any longer...I feel your pain. Didn't know Home Run Inn sold just a magherita. I get their margherita with sausage, which has the best tasting sauce on a frozen pizza but my lord is their a lot of sausage on them.

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Monday, 6 November 2017 23:25 (six years ago) link

i had pizza with lamb gyros on it in minnesota. i was not so worried about the lamb topping - i was more disturbed that it was cut into square pieces.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 00:01 (six years ago) link

I think both maximalism + minimalism is good with pizzas. I have a kid with autism who will only scrape the toppings of a pizza so I make them packed with mozzarella/cheddar/spicy mexican style cheese/jalapenos/bell peppers/onions/cherry tomatoes/sweetcorn/minced beef/mushroom/garlic combos, mainly because it's the only bit he eats. But I like a nice simple posh margarita with basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil etc but so fucking rarely get to eat that one.

Pizza Rossa, from Forno Campo de' Fiori in Rome, is the best pizza ever. If you fold it in half, as many do, it is extra delicious, but is decidedly NOT a sandwich.

wait is the question actually "would you ever order margherita as one variety among several when ordering for a large gathering?"

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 02:22 (six years ago) link

is there cheese on that italian pizza y/n

brimstead, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 02:29 (six years ago) link

over here in portland the trendy hipster pizza is new haven style with clams, which is something i never heard of growing up in new jersey. i had one. it was fucking great.

in general though i barely ever order pizzas, because in portland you can get a banh mi that actually tastes good, and also hawaiian food.

bob lefse (rushomancy), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 02:41 (six years ago) link

If I'm really honest with myself I probably wouldn't order a margherita pizza because I would order something with meat, but I don't really have anything against them, so yes?

Also, pizza in Austin, TX is terrible.
