Pizza - the (cheese) thread

This is all you need to know, pizza wise.

Cheese is my favorite food...it's why I'll never be a vegan (vegetarian since 1997).
Oh and MUSHROOMS 4 LIFE! Best topping on a pizza...REAL mushrooms not those canned frauds!

I read something the other day about Mayor Tall shutting down coal-fired pizza places. Or at least wanting them to filter their ovens.

Found it!

Now I want pizza...

The same exact thing is happening to me again.

@aggroculture - Thanks for making this thread. Knowing myself, I'll probably have a habit of checking it out on Friday evenings, as that's when I usually start going out for fast food.

This is also the pizzeria that's a few blocks away from my house. I've been going there regularly for quite some time now. It's in NYC, at Bayside, Queens.

Hah, my aunt lives in Bayside.

I am anti-cheese. That shit on most US pizzas: that ain't cheese. It's plastic pretending to be cheese. Plasticheese.
But good mozzarella di bufala, mmm-hmmm. Count me in.
I grew up in Italy: I can't undo that.

Another type of pizza I LOVE: Grandmother:



Thick deep crunchy crisp crust, lotsa tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella used sparingly. Delizioso!

^^ Oh God, yeah, I'm a sucker for that kind of deep dish, too, actually. That looks awesome.

And Sicilian pizza.

Same reason here. I tried to go vegan but the cheese & pizza kept me.

Love me some olives and mushrooms on my pizza.

I do love me a calzone too.

Also, where is that NY Artichoke pizza from? Looks delicious.

Literally Artichoke.

It's next to Planet Rose, which is one of my favorite bars in the city because karaoke

Pizza only needs four elements: crust, sauce, a ton of cheese and some glorious bacon.

And that's it, end thread!

How come this thread doesn't have a million pages to it already?
Spanish cheese. We have met again.

I fully expect to get raked over the coals for this, but for 2 bucks for a 4 pack as a late night snack I gotta say I really crave these puppies sometimes. It's not even the same ballpark as legit pizza place pizza obviously, and I'm not trying to say they are quality, they're not. But there is just something about them, man, they can hit the spot.

Not to sound like a dick, but I make a pretty damn good pizza if I do say so myself (and going by what everyone else tells me when I make it for them). We're lucky enough to have a pizza oven at the back of my grandparents place so we do everything from scratch and it surprisingly turns out good even considering how many times I've fucked it up recently. It usually comes out thick and we run just basic toppings (cheese, cheese and garlic oil, plain garlic oil, bruschetta, garlic oil and chilli, basil mozzarella and prosciutto, and when we feel like it a bit of salami here and there).

As for commercially sort of pizza's, I haven't really found anywhere apart from Frankie's in the city that has made me go HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING, it's just so thin and delicious and goes down so well with a beer.

Best pizza I've ever had in a restaurant was at that 400 Degrees restaurant in Melbourne...before it was announced on the news that it has the best pizza ever

[Sarah K]

When I am in New York next I will have some of this: Artichoke pizza omg sensational

I ate this with @aggroculture and @playwithfire tonight. It was as delicious as it looks and I want to rub it on my boobs. My stomach seems to be angry about it, though.

[Charmingly Miserable]

Um, hello. I'm hungry even though I already ate dinner. Rubbing it on your boobs would be a waste. Go straight for the mouth.
