Favourite pizza?

Albuquerque has a wide variety of pizza.. From the usual cast of bland, including Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Red Brick, et al....

We have some REALLY good local places. Saggios by the University of New Mexico makes some amazing Sicilian style pizzas and the best deep dish this side of Chicago.

Local favorite Dion's makes consistantly good pizza that is always a good "go-to" when you need lots of food and a good price. They also sell pizza kits, consisting of a ball of their pizza dough, a pint of sauce, a heap of mozzerella and whatever toppings you want. If you have a pizza stone or pan at home, these are fantastic for home cooked pizza.. I will never get frozen or or take out again as long as I can get these pizza kits...
 
I think it might be time to talk about bad Pizza experiences. Whenever I've ordered a Pizza from an Indian Kebab house it has been beyond disgusting. The Cheese tastes like roast fat and the Pepperoni tastes like its come from a diseased pig. Its like every Indian Kebab House in the Highlands of Scotland is buying ingredients from the same place.

I've had some really good Pizzas from Kebab Houses in other places, but round these parts, it seems none of them can make good Pizza

I definitely could not cook a pizza. I'd end up burning my house down. :alienblush: :lol:

ProTip: Do not cook your pizza over open flame. (This will greatly reduce the likelihood of your house burning down.)

And anyone can cook a pizza. Once you've got it assembled and your oven properly preheated, cooking instructions consist of:

1. Place pizza in oven.
2. Wait 15-20 minutes.
3. When pizza is done the way you like it, remove from oven.

Doesn't get much easier than that.

Yeah, the only real risk of burning down your house while making pizza is if you get hammer-drunk, decide that making pizza is a great idea, put it together, toss it in the oven and then pass out, waking up eight hours later to the fury unleashed by an unattended pizza. Even then, you're far more likely to have smoke filling the house and a hockey puck that smells like barbecued dog hair in your oven than actual flames.
 
^ Exactly, which evidences not any real inability to cook a pizza so much as it does failure to follow simple instructions. The following is merely another example of same:

Some people can't even do that. Last year my college dorm was evacuated because some future rocket scientist tried to cook a frozen pizza still in the box.

Even sharks & eels love pizza.

What, you've never heard the song? "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a moray..." :guffaw:

Not so fast - is there a shark in that song I'm not seeing?

You don't know the full lyrics?

"When the moon hits your eye
Like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine
Like you've had too much wine
HOLY FUCK A SHARK!"
 
I've had Pizza in Italy, the UK and Brazil...the worst was a joint in the UK..

the "Hadleigh Pizzeria"

Cheddar instead of mozzarella, paper thin crust and cut hot dogs instead of pepperoni..(the place went out of business within 2 weeks of opening..one really should learn to make pizza when opening a pizza joint IMHO)

Brazil is different..no tomato sauces added, but still good... and Italy again different, but still good...

I'll take my local "Mountain Mikes" pizza with everything except those little flat fish with eyes...
 
^ I don't mind cheddar cheese on a pizza.

There was a place in Milwaukee about 23 years ago that used cheddar. I still remember that pizza all these years later. It had thick sliced pepperoni too.
 
There's some local pizza places fairly close to here, Johnny Sortino's and Big Fred's. I don't get out to either of them much, I would be too tempted to over indulge in food.
 
In St. Louis, there's provel cheese, which is a mixture of white cheddar, swiss, and provolone. Odd thing, though, is that it doesn't really taste like any of them (never knew there was cheddar or swiss in it, truth be told). Always thought it was a special aged Italian cheese until recently...

Tru dat... Most pizza is at least edible when you're hungry enough... But... In Nebraska, which is widely known as having amazing Pizza at a local chain of restaurants called "Valentino's," I had pizza so bad I couldn't eat it in the town of Kearny.. It was some place called Pizza Guy.. UGH!

I wouldn't say my wife hates pizza, but with the exception of Edwardo's Chicago Deep Dish, she really doesn't like pizza.

Really! I don't think i know a single person who doesn't even 'like' pizza, except for my 17 year old who, everytime we order it, refuses to eat it saying she "doesn't like pizza" and yet, (I swear to gawd) practically has it every other day with her boyfriend (pizza i mean). :lol: And yes, they get it from the same place we do.

17. :scream:
 
I mentioned it earlier, but, although not the greatest Pizza in the world, certainly one of the more interesting was this place:

I think their name is appropriate:
