22 Jun 07 - 03:49 AM (#2083767) Subject: RE: BS: What Pizza You Like? From: Joe Offer I was talking with my wife just today, recounting the most memorable meals I have had in my life. I remarked that a number of those memories were pizza. One was Mrs. Infusino's home-made pizza, with cracker-thin crust, that I had one day while in grade school in Racine, Wisconsin. Another was the rectangular pizza we got near in the Italian part of town near Jones Island in Milwaukee, while I was in college. And the most memorable was pizza I got in two different places in Rome - one was half a block from the side entrance of the Vatican. Soft, thick crust, very light cheeses and not much sauce, and a wonderful variety of toppings. -Joe Offer- |

22 Jun 07 - 12:22 PM (#2084120) Subject: RE: BS: What Pizza You Like? From: Bill D I'm prejudiced and narrow-minded because the first pizza I ever had was at the *original* Pizza Hut....Wichita, Kans., about 1958. It was a simple sausage. Since then, I have added Pepperoni to my options, and will tolerate a few other things like pineapple,,,though I don't see why anyone bothers....but since I don't care for onions or anchovies or olives, I guess my choices would bore some of you. I knew a guy who would walk into one of the EARLY Pizza Huts...(maybe #3) and order "garbage can"...meaning, "put everything you have on it." I got my own and didn't sit too close to him. |

Seriously, that's the only way I can describe it. Must be me, because they sell a lot of pies.

22 Jun 07 - 04:28 PM (#2084347) Subject: RE: BS: What Pizza You Like? From: Sorcha LOL, Joe....pssst...it still does look kinda like rabbit droppings. Yea, I cook there, but IMO, the sauce is just too overpowering. Too much oregano or something. If you order it light/EZ sauce, it's better. Wes, we put bacon crumbles on our cheeseburger. And yes, it's better than it sounds. What I find weird is the Hawaiian one...ham, pork green pepper, onion (OK so far....) then pineapple, (well, ok too....) but the last straw is maraschino cherries. I do wonder sometimes why they don't add coconut????? |

22 Jun 07 - 05:04 PM (#2084374) Subject: RE: BS: What Pizza You Like? From: PoppaGator I'm a classicist/traditionalist ~ the fewer toppings the better. Having grown up in north-central New Jersey, I prefer the New-York thin crust style, and love to be able to buy a single slice, plain cheese or maybe pepperoni. In order to compromise with a group, I'm willing to go with two or three toppings at most. I like green pepper, one meat selection, and maybe mushrooms or onions. Once in a while, for a change of pace, I'll enjoy a "Hawaiian" pizza: ham, pineapple, and green pepper. (The "ham" is usually, technically, Canadian bacon; if they let you, try substituting pepperoni.) But I HATE "with everything" ~ it always comes out all soggy and barely recognizable as pizza! As a meat selection, sausage is OK, but unpredictable; there are as many different varities of sausage as there are pizzarias. Pepperoni is a safer bet, almost always exactly what you expect. For many years, dating back through my childhood and teen years, my very favorite pizza was the big 24-inch pie sold on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights, NJ, right next to the Seaside Park city line. Plain cheese, please ~ why gild the lily? ~ with plenty of that nice coarse cornmeal on the crisp bottom crust. It's probably the sea air that made it taste so extra-good, but the sauce chef deserves plenty of credit, too. More recently, during my winter of exile in New Jersey ('05-'06) after escaping my flooded New Orleans home, some old friends introduced my family and me to the absolutely finest pizza in the world, at Sciortino's on Broadway in South Amboy, NJ. They make their own sausage as well as an absolutely sublime red sauce, and when you order a pizza with "The Works," they do NOT load it down with dozens of watery ingredients. At Sciortino's, "The Works" comprises a mere four sparingly-applied items: peppers (green), onions, mushrooms, and the aforementioned homemade sausage. Well, the veggies are sprinkled with a light hand ~ you get plenty of sausage. Definitely worth a side trip for anyone in the New York / New Jersey area, or visiting there for any length of time. Hell, for anyone with the time and money, it's worth a flight to Newark and the 45-minute rent-a-car drive (each way). |

22 Jun 07 - 06:10 PM (#2084438) Subject: RE: BS: What Pizza You Like? From: Bill D about Pizza Hut and similar 'franchise' operations...when you run any operation that large, it becomes almost impossible to supervise quality control from outlet to outlet. For many years, Pizza Hut was pretty good and pretty much the same, but now you can't be sure....just too much local messing with recipes. People do have different ideas about TYPE of Pizza...thick, gooey crust or thin dry crust...etc. Either can be quite good, if done well...but either takes care. I still don't like thick ones as much as a good Pizza Hut 'type'..... There's a family-owned place near me that is pretty good...but they skimp on the meat, and during rush hour, they sometimes skimp on cooking time..*grin*...But they've been there 25 years and are always busy, so they are doing something right. |

23 Jun 07 - 02:13 AM (#2084626) Subject: RE: BS: What Pizza You Like? From: Liz the Squeak Green peppers, sweetcorn, chinese chicken and mushroom... yum! Limpit and Manitas always have peperoni (the meat variety) or meat selection - oddly enough, one of those is called 'Alligator'... don't ask why, I don't know! I like to change occasionally. I like Hawaiian - ham and pineapple, but I also like tuna, sweetcorn and black olives. Anchovies are the invention of the Devil. I like to go to Pizza hut occasionally, usually as a treat for Limpit so she can eat herself sick on the ice cream factory... but I'm disappointed at their salad range. Bacon bits and croutons are not salad items in my book. And what they do to their peppers under pretence of slicing them is just cruelty to peppers. LTS |

23 Jun 07 - 10:30 AM (#2084833) Subject: RE: BS: What Pizza You Like? From: dwditty I am admittedly a pizza snob. Several years ago, the New York Times declared New Haven CT the pizza capital of the world, stating there are more pizza places per capita than anywhere else. New hHaven has a huge Italian population, and the major pizza places here have been operating continuously since the 1930's. Frank Sinatra declared Sally's (as in Salvatore) his favorite. Plain pizza in New Haven is a pie with just homemade sauce (and home made dough, of course) with just a little parmasean cheese. Delicious, and low fat, too!. Another great one is dough with a little olive oil, garlic, and herbs - mmmmm. Fresh sliced tomato, mozzerella, and fresh basil and garlic (no sauce) is another favorite. Pepe's shucks clams to order for their house specialty - white clam pizza. I cannot write anymore, I am drooling on the keyboard. dw |
