Best Pizza you ever had.

It was in a very expensive restaurant in Italy.

It redefined what I thought was possible for pizza.

In Italy you expect pizza to be at least really good, but this was a revelation.

 

I've been so frustrated with restaurant pizzas lately that I started making my own. Pizza dough is dead easy to make and I can choose for it to be thick or paper thin. As for toppings? My favorite (right now) is a butter chicken sauce. But I'm also partial to goat cheese with sun dried tomato, red onion and basil.

 

In 1957 while attending a U.S. Navy school in Great Lakes some guy in the barracks used the term Pizza Pie. Well I was thinking of apple pie, pecan pie, peach pie, so I asked what he was talking about. He explained the pie was a crust with cheese and tomato sauce on top. I just shook my head. Later, me and a fellow sailor were walking the streets of downtown Waukegan and we saw a sigh on a restaurant window that read Pizza Pie. So I suggested we try it. I can't remember my reaction to the taste but I guess I ate it. After that I would occasionally have a pizza. About a year later I had pizza in Naples, Italy and it wasn't as good as the pizza in the USA. But it seems several towns I have lived in always had an Italian restaurant named Little Joey's, Little Italy, Sammy's, Tony's, or Big Al's and their pizza was as good as any.

 

in the city, john’s of bleeker

brooklyn, juluana’s in dumbo

queens, enzo’s, ozone park

bronx, catania’s in belmont

outside of ny, sally’s up in new haven CT

 

Do tell. Seriously, do tell. We don't have anything else to do.

 

One of the best I had was in Guatemala, deep in the city of Antigua. Wood fired oven, thin crust, fresh basil leaves they must have pulled off a plant growing outside the kitchen.

 

I have been doing tomato and bacon a lot lately.. Our local delivery is fantastic.. We do ask for light cheese and heavy sauce

 

Maybe not the "best" but Walmart's seven cheese pizza beats any Digorno.

 

Now I know it aint pizza but damn, this is a few blocks away! I'll go "appropriate" me some El Charro, often!

 

I am hungry!!! Come se dice "Hungry"

 

I call my order in on the phone, then fetch it 20 minutes later. If you want to sit and eat, they sell beer at gas station prices, you can sit and drink a beer! It's also a major bus stop for migrant and seasonal, harvesters. A hidden "gem" in our small town.

 

Yesss! My favorite pizza as well! However, I add ricotta cheese to it because I am extra like that! Lol

I don't like hamburger on my pizza either but there is one thing worse.....pineapple on pizza! Lol

 

and you can separate children from their parents and send them to Trumps sex slave indoctrination camps.. Los Ninos son muy afraid..

 

LOL, cinch that foil cap on! If you ever pass thru, try the tortas! And stop by my humble abode!

 

I do not considert myself liberal or conservative or I am liberal and conservative


Fiscal Conservatism is a neccesity.. Governor Hogan here has taught me and demonstrated policy to that end. You gotta pay the bills.

That said.. we are the second or third biggest taker state of federal funding.. I believe Hogan is done in 2022 as Gov. I am already looking to 2024 and hope he runs for President.. If Cuomo, who I believe will seek a second term in 2020 should run against him. They are friends and colleagues. Both had stupenduous CV responses.. Desantis is killing Floridians

Cuomo VS Hogan 2024. America Can't Lose!

 

Here was the alternative....

That's really the best pizza you ever had? Doesn't sound appetizing.

 

Do tell..

What is butter chicken sauce?

 

thread is a great reminder to never order pizza outside the pizza belt.

 

Let me tell you something about Walmart: I had always told my wife I would never eat a Walmart pie because "I lived in France and I know what good pastry is."

So I come home one day and there is this pie under the glass with a French bakery box next to it. It was delicious. "Like I told you, these French bakers know how to make fine pastry!"

"You want some more?"

I said, "I think I would. Thank you, yes."

She smiles broadly and I finally smell a rat.
I'm taking a big bite and she whips out this Walmart bag from behind her back.,"I got it at Walmart!"

She laughed for 5 minutes. I still haven't lived down that one!

 

OOOO - only my favorite Indian dish. Minced onions and garlic, tomato sauce, lots of butter, ginger, cream and garam masala. I now make extra so I can put on a pizza!

 

Sauce made from a chicken that has been fed nothing but butter.

 

Calabria to Umbria?

 

for italia, mostly campania but yeah all over. i spend my time in sicily now. i prefer italian-american immigrant pies to anywhere else.

 

Chicago thin crust. The one must-go-to place when we visit Chicago is Fox's.

Chicago thin crust IS Chicago pizza. The thick crust stuff didn't become so-called "Chicago" style until the 90's or something - decades after thin crust was the only style pizza in Chicago.

There is a Chicago pizza setup place that ships, so all my homemade pizza's now include authentic crust, sauce, cheese & sausage. We never do takeout anymore. Pizza in Florida is something that looks like pizza, but is really just silly nonsense.
