pizza is a flat circle. everything we have done or will do we will do over and over and over again- forever.

A good pizza is basically like a casserole where the crust replaces the dish or whatever
Like slow-braised beef and carrot on a pizza, is like delicious to me? That's what I think is good

lol, i came to the pizza thread to consider the merits of sauce vs cheese vs crust. i came away thinking of a carrot sticking out of a hunk of beef on a casserole sitting on a crusty plate

― ||||||||, Wednesday, 27 May 2020 15:55 (three years ago) link
it has always been true - take a solidly constructed thin slice of pizza, fold it in half, add a few toppings in the middle and you've got yourself a delicious hot dog

Ch...chicken Kiev, on a pizza
But you have to like, boil the Kiev in the sauce, which as we've established must be made with a base of doubanjiang and not tomato, and then spoon it into the crust

start with Tianjin-preserved vegetable, boil the Kiev, then top with NYC water. fold in half, tear crust-flaps, and fly

Why is there so much ontological confusion about crust? Crust = the entire doughy portion, not just the puffy end bits.

Put a bad sauce on a good crust and you've ruined a good crust. Put a good sauce on a bad crust and you've improved a bad crust. For me, this describes the essence of their relationship.

cheese and crust and sauce = pizza
cheese and crust without sauce = cheesy breadsauce and cheese without crust = cheesy dipping saucecrust and sauce without cheese = vegan pizza, square one
cheese without sauce and crust = cheesesauce without cheese and crust = saucecrust without cheese and sauce = crust

so basically cheese, because as long as you have the cheese you know you're going to be fine

Vicolo Pizza was my first experience with cornmeal crust in the late 80s/90s. They are long closed now but I think their idea of a crust made of wheat flour, corn meal and soybean oil was really good

recently discovered a local pizza mini chain that makes it with
1. medium thickness crust/base, like a slightly upscale version of a corner place slice; not flimsy but not like eating a loaf of bread2. slightly fancy toppings, many of them spicy3. an uncooked tomato sauce base with a lovely sweetness (they have alfredo pizzas as well but have yet to try)
and I may never go back in any of these respects
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Sunday, 14 June 2020 07:14 (three years ago) link
As much as I love alfredo and all other non-tomato-based pasta sauces, I have never taken the plunge on a slice of pizza with anything other than the red.

Carbonara may be my favorite dish ever, but I'd never get a pizza version of it.
what do you all think of cornmeal crusts?
i'm a fan of putting some cornmeal in dough. adds a nice texture so long as not too much is added and yeast is rendered useless. like up to 20% by volume i guess, but probably more like 10-15%
