My favourite pizza is pepperoni, red onions and peppers. There's a local pizza place where I live which makes amazing pizzas.
Favourite pizza?

Pizza is basically my favourite food, I alternate between Pepperoni and Margherita (Cheese and Tomato, whatever you wanna call it). In terms of Takeaway pizza, the best i've had is probably from a place in Bournemouth. For Restorante style pizza, thats yet to be determined, i've never had a traditional style Italian pizza thats really stood out.
^I think I would agree with you - pizza is great.
Bread base should preferably be between 1/2 and 1 cm thickness. Topping preferably consists of tomatoes, garlic, red/yellow peppers, onion, olives, + various herbs and seasonings.
I've tried adding mushrooms to pizza, but as I'm not keen on cooked mushrooms, I don't enjoy that as much.
I haven't eaten any pizza this year, as far as I remember.

Yeah, Dominos is just unpleasant to eat now. Maybe before it tasted bad, but I'm not really a fan of having garlic bread instead of crust. I have to hold the damn pizza with a napkin just to eat it. Anyway, aside from that, all the national chains are about the same. I usually get Pizza Hut because it's cheaper than Papa John's, but that's my only thought. I haven't found any local New York style that I really like. There are a couple of Italian-style places, but I haven't really tried them either (I really want one of those Pizza chains with the Indian guy that just cuts a giant chunk of pizza, weighs it, and that's what you get). I think you can flat out forget finding Chicago style.
I'll put in a quick shoutout to Jumbo Slice, though.
As for favorite toppings, what I'll typically get these days is Chicken, peppers, and onions. Then when it arrives, I'll smother it in Sriracha Sauce.
Papa John's tastes like shit whenever you eat it.
My absolute all-time favorite pizzas come from Dan's Pizza in Downers Grove, IL, -- thin-crust with sausage, mushrooms and onions, or double-decker with sausage and pepperoni. But, since I don't live anywhere near the Chicago suburbs anymore and haven't for more than eight years, it's been a while since I've had it. I also really enjoyed eating at the Home Run Inn in Darien (but, again, haven't been there in a while), though thankfully I can get their frozen pizzas. Not too keen on the sausage, but the pepperoni is fantastic.
When I lived in Dubuque, Iowa, my favorite pizza came from a little hole in the wall on the north end of downtown, called Marco's. The crust was thin and crispy, and the sausage was nice and spicy. Fantastic pizza.
In Madison, WI, our go-to establishments are either The Roman Candle (from which we usually order garlic, pepperoni and sausage), Falbo Bros. (same; sometimes we'll put spinach on there, too) or Cafe La Bellitalia, which might well have the best pizza crust I've ever tasted. A new contender is Buck's Pizza, which has incredible crust and some of the best pepperoni I've tasted. Great prices, too.
We never order from chains, even though we have a Domino's, Pizza Hut, Little Caesar's and Papa John's all within a mile or so of our apartment. Mass-produced, ultra-greasy dogshit, all of it. I actually prefer my pizza fresh, not shipped to the store frozen, and actually cooked in an oven, not run through a conveyor belt. Out of all of those, a pan pizza from Pizza Hut would probably be the most tolerable, but, holy God, I'd need to have a gun to my head to make me order one.
Pfft. As if an Italian knows anything about pizza!
OK, now I'm just pissed.
The little pizza place, about 1 mile from my apartment, closed at some point in the last couple weeks.
They had probably the best thin crust I'd ever had.
The guy had some really stupid hours. Open 4 hours Saturday evenings, closed on Sundays. No wonder he went out of business, good pizza or not.

*sigh*
The very fact that you are dropping f-bombs like they're going out of style doesn't reflect well on you. When someone does the time for their crime, they should be watched but not treated like a damn leper.
Where's the basic compassion?
Thats absurd. I've tried to express my utter contempt for your disregard of human life several times now, but I keep rephrasing. Ultimately I have nothing to say to that except what I already asked: where's the basic compassion?
^ First off, YR can swear any time she likes. So can any of the rest of us. This isn't a public school, you know. Swearing is par for the course around here!
As for the other thing: There's a difference between compassion and "being realistic when dealing with a dangerous offender that can - and apparently DID - offend again.

Profanity should be used only under extreme circumstances otherwise it has no point. It also lacks a place in polite discourse.
Being realistic is fine. But choosing specifically to shun someone and subvert their business?
The phrasing of the circumstances initially indicated carryout, thus the 'boycott' seems entirely based on the man's criminal record.
Jean Valjean in Digne after release? Its not a popular stance, but someone has to take it.
Watch like a hawk if you will, but dehumanizing someone and shunning them? No.
I have compassion for potential victims. I even wish that it didn't have to come down to such serious punishment with flagrant enough offenders. It's not a "vengeance" thing or a "disregard for human life" thing. As I've said MANY times before, for something to become severe enough to require execution means that there has been a failure that ought to be mourned, not celebrated.
That's why I love this board so much - we don't have to be polite.
The fact remains, YR is entirely within her rights to go there, or not to go there. She's not out front posting leaflets about the guy, she just chooses not to give the place her money. That is her absolute right. And judging by what she has said, it's not just that he has a record, but it is apparently *continuing*.
Man, I love pizza.
Me too. Someone should make a thread about that.

If he is continuing, report him. If not, I say give the man a chance to earn an honest livelihood.
But yeah. Pizza.
Zen.
Just a plain ol' NY style cheese pizza is great, but if we're talking non- genuine New York style, then I like pepperoni and mushroom.
Most national chain pizza places suck, but we have a few local/regional chains that are ok, Anthony's Pizza, and Black Jack Pizza are pretty good.
