who has the best pizzas around

Hell Pizza - https://www.hell.co.nz/chooseCity.jsp - theologically dubious but very nice (if rather pricey) pizzas.

what are your favorite toppings

Anything with lots of meat, particularly bacon and/or pepperoni. Green peppers liven up a pizza as well.

I have no clue really, I'd need to go to every pizza place in the city (we have alot)

I'm a simple wolf so either cheese or pepperoni

I'm a big fan of lotsa meat on my pizza. pepperoni, sausage, canadian bacon, lamb (that's a good topping. not really available at your average pizza place, but oooh, delicious)


but yeah. i like simple, meaty pizzas. that's how i roll.

I love to make my own pizza and of course, it's a who's who of gourmet ingredients.

I was at a Burning Man pre-party. It was held at a professional caterer's house and she had a full-scale commercial kitchen in her basement. I went to town and spent the next five hours going like this just having a blast. I made pesto-red pepper pizza, a saffron dough pizza with brie and champagne grapes, and a chocolate pizza with cocoa dough, hazelnuts and orange slices. That's all because everyone was going bonkers over the brie and the chocolate pizzas. I even got a marriage proposal out of the bargain

I made a portable oven for my 2002 Burning Man project and established a bakery for our camp. Unfortunately, we had 140 campers and virtually every dietary restriction, from ethical to medical, was represented amongst that number. A bunch were gluten-intolerant so to placate them one night, I made gluten-free pizza dough. Aigh, what a fiasco! I tried to make it with flaxseed meal, cornmeal and rice flour and the damn crust crumbled like autumn leaves! No muscles at all. And they were all standing there and whining that I wasn't making it with quinoa flour, which tastes like crap. And since a goodly portion of the "Oh, I can't have wheat" crowd were also vegans, I couldn't even use cheese to keep it together so it was a royal mess. To this day, I have to wonder how many of that bunch were actually, medically-diagnosed, gluten intolerant or just read and bought into a snake oil/conspiracy theory book that equates wheat with western aggression...

In terms of not-made-by-myself pizzas...believe it or not, I love the Round Table pizzas with shrimp. I can't find shrimp anywhere else. Same with Pizzeria Uno's seafood pizza with alfredo and crab. The pizzas done by my local Papa John's is acceptable and their delivery guy rocks. They always say a half-hour and he's invariably early, so when they tell me that I mentally translate "twenty to twenty-five minutes." And I have to admit to enjoying Pizza Hut's stuffed crust pizza.

Sorry, I prefer pan and Chicago-style pizzas. I like pizza that I can wrap my teeth and tongue around.

Edit: Lamb on a pizza. Oooh. I love lamb. I'll try that. How about a tandoor or Moroccan pizza or stromboli with cornmeal in the crust and curry or Moroccan spices with a yoghurt-based sauce?

I do like the stuffed crust pizza from Pizza hut, But you go to Vitos and you can get pizza with Feta cheese, boston pizza has good stuff East Side Marios is pizza heaven, and there are a few individual places I still have not tried yet

If you go to my thread in here, I have a recipe for pizza, (Well it's more topping ideas haha). I really like capsicum, onion, oregano, olives, cheese, sometimes mushrooms, and tomato paste. These are all home made, I don't like fast food pizza.

Greasy, and often make me nauseous.

Rigt now all I have to say about Pizza is Sounds good

there was this one place i went to on my b-day a couple years back... it was called Pete's Pizza Parlour or sumthin... it was at Yellowstone National Park (man, i love that place so much) and they had some of the best pizza ever... that was sucha great birthday...

Fang wrote:Rigt now all I have to say about Pizza is Sounds good

sounds good, but its not gonna happen, we have a cold slice from one of the worst places in town (their crust is gooey and once cold freezes and isn't that good reheated) I want something fresh. I hate my cravings!

It varies for me, I usually like a thick pizza. As far as toppings I like everything from white pizza, to lotsa veggies, to a good ole meaty indulgence

I finaly got some last night my mom added Provalone into the mix and the flavours just exploded, High quality cheese is great on pizza

YOU ARE ALL WRONG!

Obviously New Haven (CT) has the best pizza. Pepe's, Sally's, and Modern Pizza all the way.

You owe it to yourself to have an authentic New Haven-style pizza with ultra-thin crust, white sauce (no, not a cream sauce!), and hard cheeses, going along nicely with a tomato slice or seafood topping. Brick oven if you can. It's awesome!

(kidding about the being wrong thing ya'know!)

Hey, I'm making a stromboli for dinner tonight.

Mozzarella cheese, shrimp, wine-marinated chicken, garlic, apple and a crust garnished with fennel seed and pepper.

Just waiting for it to rise so I can bake it off

Back on topic...

A good pizza must fit 3 requirements...

1) BIG
2) Meaty
3) #$@#$% Load of Spices (Tabasco sauce is like water to me)
