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

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.

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.

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.

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

like the thread title.

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.

I am in fact ordering a margherita pizza this very night. Thanks for whetting my appetite, thread!

Bernard Crunderdunder (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 8 November 2017 00:43 (six years ago) link

I too plan to have 50% as much fun as I could be having!

you are juror number 144 and we will excuse you (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 8 November 2017 00:45 (six years ago) link

If you have all of the fun at once, there's no more fun to be had.

Namaste.

Bernard Crunderdunder (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 8 November 2017 01:02 (six years ago) link

The point is that extra toppings do not equal extra fun. A pure margherita is the basis of fun. It's more like, I don't know, I want to play a game of chess, whereas you want to play a game of chess where the board lights up and the pieces sing every time they're taken. Yeah, that's great sometimes, but it's not something you're going to want to play all of the time.

They forgot the flipping basil. Come on, guys, this isn't rocket pizza.

Bernard Crunderdunder (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 8 November 2017 01:53 (six years ago) link

but it is optional on a margherita

on the one hand, i defer to ed. on the other hand, there is no "optional", there is only right or wrong

brimstead, Wednesday, 8 November 2017 01:55 (six years ago) link

xp rocket pizza would have a different green thing on it entirely iirc

Austin used to have a really good Chicago-style pizza place but it went to hell years ago. I miss it so much.

erry red flag (f. hazel), Wednesday, 8 November 2017 18:57 (six years ago) link

we really enjoyed breaking up the streak of constant bbq with some Home Slice in Austin. place was kind of a zoo, though.

for all of the controversy, pizza is usually good

Yeah Home Slice is always a madhouse. Last time I went we had to wait like an hour and a half for a table. I'd just cross the street and get some pizza at Enoteca Vespaio.

Pizza ≠ Pie. Stop calling it that you murderers

I always figured Dean Martin was going for surreal or proto-psychedelia or something. Pizza is not pie any more than a hot dog is a sandwich. Ridiculous

i'll have a margherita but instead of tomato i'll have sauce and instead of fresh mozz i'll have the old stuff. also no wilty basil please

assawoman bay (harbl), Thursday, 9 November 2017 01:21 (six years ago) link

instead of marinara i'd have a creamy tequila sauce and instead of mozz i'll have lime slices, with a salted crust. LOL

phenibut rock (rip van wanko), Thursday, 9 November 2017 01:36 (six years ago) link

xps pizza pie sounds good off the tongue so i'm all for it (even though it's not a pie obviously)

nxd, Thursday, 9 November 2017 10:14 (six years ago) link

unless it can be served with either brown gravy or custard, it's not pie

Fox Mulder, FYI (dog latin), Thursday, 9 November 2017 11:00 (six years ago) link

funny you should say that
