I could give a pass to someone who has only been exposed to the garbage some call pizza: any national chain and the bulk of what is available in many places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I like all kinds of pizza, and lately I’ve become fond of tomato pie as well. It’s a lot like pizza without cheese (other than an optional sprinkling of a grated smelly cheese, perhaps Parmesan). I think it’s a Utica thing.

Royale with Cheese Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Nope...but I know of health nuts that don’t eat it anymore. That’s just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good crust and a properly seasoned outer crust (which is very, very important) and a good sauce .... that's what differentiates good pizza from great pizza. Cheese is cheese. Toppings are toppings. You, sir, LIKE PIZZA. Tell your food nazi friends to ***** right off and eat a bag of eggplant. I saw a t-shirt when walking around The Falls two weeks ago. I thought of Sir Mister Gugny: Love It Or Hate It OWN IT! That's the gist of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like my mother said about ugly babies and bad children. There are pretty babies and good children, but never ugly babies and bad children. LMAO... Thanx Mom! Like my deep dish Beggars from last night. I have to start agreeing with you. Crust is almost everything. It's even better today. Like a well made bread. I know you may NOT like deep dish... But, if you are ever in Chicago... Gotta try Beggars deep dish OR Edwardo's "Natural Pizza". Give it a whirl... Let it "set up" after it comes out of oven... Like 5/10 minutes... It never disappoints us! Like a crust I can't explain, never seen before (Beggars & Edwardo's). http://edwardos.com Again... I know, stuffed or deep dish may not be your thing... But try it. Beggars and Edwardo's use a similar cornbread (????) Crust. There is no deterioration of taste, texture even after sitting in fridge the next day!

I stayed at the Palmer House Hotel. Ended up getting a deep dish from Exchequer Pub (https://www.exchequerpub.com/) and it was effin' delicious. It was the night before I traveled home the next morning. I finished a little over half and had to throw the rest away. Still bums me out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large/Medium pie with 2-3 toppings close to 30 bucks (ouch!) ... BUT it feeds 2-4. And... I will agree... I shi it you NOT! There is an outter crust on a deep dish/stuffed pie! Very pronounced.

apuszczalowski Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 My oldest sort of. We used to get pizza and wings every Friday, then she stopped wanting it and said she didn't like pizza, then she said she would only eat the pizza they get from school on pizza day (square slices from a party tray), then she only wanted Little Cesar for the crazy bread, but now she likes pizza but only cheese pizza from Domino's.

The Dean Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 There is a pizza place directly across the street from my condo. I'm thankful everyday their pizza is freaking inedible. Otherwise I'd be even a bigger, fatter slob. There is PLENTY of bad pizza around. Most pizza I've had in Canada was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangest thing, ever. There was a long period of time during my childhood where I could no longer eat marshmallows. Couldn’t even smell them or I would dry gag. Came out of nowhere ?♂️ I can eat them again now, but still not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my trigger @ 10 years old was my older sister calling them: Fungus. Which the are, right? I must have made piece with my inner fungi. I can eat them since I was 45. Not sure what helped me cope??? Next step: Olives & Coffee. I really want to like olives and coffee. They seem like noble foods. Who wouldn't love a good tapenade and cup of coffee in a classy cafe. For now I am stuck eating a doughnut and drinking a Coke (from the soda fountain) at a DunkinDonuts. /smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I cannot take an olive and eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
