Chicago Style is obviously the King of Pizza, with New York Style in slot II.

Last slot? All 'California Style' pizzas. Yuck. Communist homosexuals make bad Pizza.

Fresh tomatos, anchovies, fresh basil and cheese make the best salt-bomb pizza for eating with mucho beer. Or maybe potato and rosemary for non-beer times.

The best pizzas used to come from Alex Cordobes on King Street in Newtown, but he closed his shop when the gays and hipsters annexed Newtown. Years ago.

What's the difference between New York, Chicago and Homo/Commo California pizza?

New York - very thin, wide, minimal toppings, pretty rigid tradition touted by people who think they know best (even though quality varies widely)
Chicago - very thick, deep, smaller, heaps of toppings, sauce on top, celebrated by tourists the world over (often spurned by Chicagoans, from what I hear)
West Coast - similar to NY,  usually more heavy handed with toppings, but nowhere near Chicago style. more experimental tradition (unusual toppings/sauces) not accepted by anyone east of CA, OR, or WA.

I'll say this -  in NY I've had the most consistently good pizza - even the 99 cent slices are pretty groovy - but I've only had truly great pizza on the West Coast, which is not to say NY doesn't have it - I just haven't had it.

NY: Too thin
Chi: Too thick, too much starch/carbs
CA: "Unusual" toppings rule, until you get into "Ritz crackers and whipped cream!!1!" territory. I personally draw the line before pineapple or nasssty fishesssesses

Disco Rice, try the Margherita slice at Artichoke pizza on 14th street between 2nd Ave and 1st Ave. (go at an off time, otherwise there can be a line). It's 3.75 a slice or something (ouch) but it's worth it.

It's so good that you will probably disregard my advice to NOT try the artichoke slice (which sucks) because you figure that if the Margherita is so good, how can they fuck up the namesake slice? But they do. The crab slice is worthless too (and they only have those 3 choices).

I have two pizza requirements easy on the toppings, one or two is perfect, everything after that just gets sloppy. Secondly, bubble crust.

That works - I'm not big on artichokes and I'm allergic to shellfish. Margherita's delicious. I'm excited to try it.

My favorite pizza is served at a place in the Columbia Gorge on the Washington side.  Wood fired brick oven, hand tossed, simple killer ingredients like goat cheese, prosciutto, shaved asparagus, not round pizza.  A little dark and bubbly on the edges from the extreme heat.  
they have a new one i haven't tried yet.  The Country Girl-cherries, chorizo, and goat cheese.  I'll be making the 1 hour and fifteen minute trip there soon to have this.  The scenery there is also breathtaking.  Coupled with a pint or two of Knuckledragger pale and fuggeddabouttit!!

I always use the no-knead bread in 5 minutes a day recipe and just keep a big old wad of Pizza dough going in the back of the basement fridge all the time. It lasts about a month or more once you mix it up.

My sister gave me some 00 flour - which is what the Italians use - and it is super extra awesome and has my recommendation.

Pizza sucks in the Great White.

My favourite is:

-Thin crispy crust
-Basil Pesto
-Diced tomatoes
-Feta
-Grilled chicken (or sometimes pulled pork)
-Mozzarella

Must be slightly burnt.

Here is the 5 minute dough thing - it is fantastic - you only stir it together once and then it does its thing. I only make the pizza dough version.

There is always one in back of the basement fridge. It doesn't go bad but once too old it dries out.

Okay, let me start by saying I am a California raised pizza fiend and I love the "NY style" of pizza. Slice as big as a baby with a few, really good toppings and a super crisp crust with some chewiness. My favorite pizza slice in SF is the "you say potato" at Escape from NY pizza, it is a pesto, roasted garlic, yukon gold potato and mozzarella piece of heaven.

(http://s3-media1.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/SHj-5I8t9dZLLrLEV6v8PQ/sl.jpg)


For those of you who discount me based on the description, the fact that I am from California, or your high and mighty east coast outlook on all things pizza, I say FUCK YOU, and when you are in SF have a slice and tell me otherwise.

Post by: EaterofBirds on October 20, 2011, 08:29:38 PM
I do my own. Make my own sauce from scratch, cook off/prep all my own toppings with fresh herbs. Make my own dough..got myself a good pizza stone. You'll never get the char of an authentic artisan Neapolitan out of a household range, but I get it up there. Finally had people come over and made some last spring after perfecting it and one person say it was the best pizza they ever had.

A nice, easy topping is to cook off some crumbled fresh sausage, and add alittle more chopped fennel seed  in the last few minutes and drizzle with real maple syrup when cooled. I do that with carmelized onions, fresh local farm mozzerella and hit it with fresh torn basil leaves when I pull it out of the oven.

you mix it in with the sausage when its cooling..youre just adding some a layer of flavor/sweetness to the meat. good stuff, with the flavor of the fennel. Try it..and not talking about Aunt Jemima either, the real stuff, and just alittle

The secret to any BBQ Chicken pizza is it must be cooked over a wood fire. If you just bake it in an oven, it's weak.

Slot ovens work just as well as any wood fire, in fact one could argue that they're more consistent. Stay away from the convection ovens. That's where the dough tends to end up tasting like an oven mitt.

California Pizza Kitchen is ohhhhkay,but as far as BBQ pizza goes they're not the best(although they are the ones who invented it).


Best BBQ chicken pizza I know of comes from Serrano's Pizza on 21st and Valencia here in SF. If y'all are ever in town I suggest you try them out. Probably the best pizza overall in SF. They're independent too and not a franchise like California Pizza Kitchen.

pepperoni + jalapeno + pineapple (yeah, I said it) + xtra sauce

This but without the extra sauce plus add breakfast bacon and banana peppers. Best pizza ever.
breakfast bacon?? what is the difference between that and dinner bacon??

Just making sure no one thought I meant Canadian Bacon.

Mellow Mushroom!!!

we ate at a mellow mushroom ages ago when we were in savanah. I was surprised at how good there pie was, and the decent beer selection they had. Even when the atmosphere/clientele went from high as hell dirty hippies hanging out to frat college dance party USA.

I usually don't expect much in the way of good food or beer selection from those places.

cool place

coal fired is the shit wood fired wishes it was coal fired. Only 3 places in NYC allowed to have coal fired. Angelo's by the Ed Sullivan theater is the best pizza that I've ever  had. Everything about it was perfect. It was like they made the mozzarella in the place. I've been everywhere in the us and you can't find better pizza anywhere in America. Chicago pizza isn't even pizza. It's a fucking meat casserole. Some places in Cali do alright but the vegetarians ruin pizza there.

Well up here in the NW we pride ourselves on being complete food snobs.  We take the best of what every region has and put a slight spin on it.  Not much of a spin but enough to know that the shit is full on local fare hand done snob fare.  Sure we have a lot of shit around here for the average Joe Schmuck but they don't know shit about fuck anywhere you go.  So I'd be willing to bet that our artisan pizzas here rival anything in Ny or New Haven.

NYC pizza is all about the water that is used to make the dough. A lot of restuarants across the USA get NYC tap water shipped to them so they can use the water to make their dough. Pizza isn't supposed to have any more than 2 toppings on them. Pizza that has more than 2 toppings isn't pizza. What I've noticed about northwest pizza is too many toppings. I am a pizza nazi. I've had pizza in Italy. To can have your artisan pizza all that you want and some artisan pizzas are great. But nothing beats a plain slice

Been once and meh. Definitely not "all that." I'll take a Lonesome's pie over theirs every time. I prefer our WC/NY hybrid pie to anything i've had. It took a few years, but we finally have quality artisan pizza in Portland. Only 2 toppings sounds kinda dull. It's not like i have to have everything piled on like cassarole, but i prefer 3-4 toppings on mine + a few fresh tomato slices. That's my idea of a good slice of pizza. A big PNW/WC DIPA to wash it down.

Looks like overly bready and over-cooked instant heartburn to me. I'm glad you enjoy it though. I'm not an angry enough of a person to start a shitstorm over a picture of a pizza.
I really should get off my ass and make my own pizza dough and get a stone. I have a fool proof way to wood fire pie at home. It's called a "Lil' Texas" Traegers smoker. Hmmmmmmm........

On the High setting i've gotten the internal temp of my wood burning Traegers up to around 450-480F when it's really hummin'. I'm pretty sure it's big enough in there to get a large 16" pie in. I know pizza can be wood fired in them. Have yet to try it myself. Maybe i should get a take 'n bake, a stone and try it out first?

Holy foodgasm! This place was great! http://www.blueribbonpizzeria.com (http://www.blueribbonpizzeria.com)
Absofuckinglutely awesome, artisan "California" pizza.

Tuna Crudo w/ Avocado a lemon olive oil appetizers. Yum!

A very nice baby greens salad w/blue cheese,pomegranate and the most perfectly roasted candied crunchy pecans.

The pizza was wood fired. Here's something I'd never even thought of.... HEAVY CREAM? Parmigiano reggiano the most perfect, crumbly sausage and basil. Garnished with mint leaves?
If there was any negative about the pie it would be that the crust could have been thicker.

Washed it down with an Ale Smith IPA. A very tasty SD brew.

I'm sure this sounds absolutely horrific to an NY purist, but you have no idea how freaking good this was.

Well, I'm not an anchovy person so the wife was being kind to me.  That and I don't think she would have thought of that either.  It definitely needed some acid to cut through the sweetness of the figs and the richness of the goat cheese.

There's great thin crust pizza in Chicago, don't kid yourself. Not that many places make deep dish pizza. If you think deep dish is all they eat, you don't know shit. Also, the only deep dish pizza to get would be spinach, or spinach/mushrooms (no meat). If you ordered your deep dish pizza with meat, you played yourself (exception: Lou Malnotti's deep dish sausage is a rare, guilty pleasure. Yes, it does come with a solid disc of sausage meat, but the crust and sauce make it work). If you insist on ordering the wrong stuff, you're beyond help.

If we're going to diss pizzas, get your fruity balsamic figgy pizza the fuck oot of here. That doesn't even qualify as pizza, it's an abomination. Same with a 'breakfast pizza' -- that looks like a crime against pizza. The only proper "breakfast  pizza" is last night's leftovers, served cold. I also see a BLT pizza (lettuce on a pizza? Jesus wept.) You people have a lot of nerve dissing Chicago pizza. I'll bet none of you have even been to Chicago (maybe a few days at most.) Lets get down to brass tacks: Pizza comes with tomato sauce. Once in a blue moon, you can go with a white pizza or pesto, if you're feeling crazy. Barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, fruits, goat cheese, salad on top -- stop calling it pizza.

Also, there is bad pizza everywhere in the USA. I don't care what area you name, I guarantee you can find some below-average or lousy pizza there (and not just the national chains).

Lets get down to brass tacks: Pizza comes with tomato sauce. Once in a blue moon, you can go with a white pizza or pesto, if you're feeling crazy. Barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, fruits, goat cheese, salad on top -- stop calling it pizza.

Also, there is bad pizza everywhere in the USA. I don't care what area you name, I guarantee you can find some below-average or lousy pizza there (and not just the national chains).
I didn't diss Chicago pizza. I just said that deep dish isn't a pizza it's a casserole. So you can find ny style pizza in Chicago but it's hard to find Afro dish in ny. That says it all. I have no clue about chicagos real pizza

I tried to rant a little bit about pizza, how did I do?

NY pizza is -- overall -- mostly pretty average, there are some amazing ones but also tons of average/below average ones too. Quality varies widely, but it's hard to make a pizza so bad that you can't finish your slice. I've only had two slices like that, both in New York (one was BBQ, one was ranch. Never again!)

In Norway, they don't put any kind of sauce at all on their pizza. It's basically cheesy bread with whatever toppings you want.

Their crust is thick, flaky and more akin to a 3/4" inch homemade dessert pie crust than a pizza crust.

it may have been to rich for me though, I could easily eat half a large myself, but about 2 hours later my gas propelled me over Oslo rooftops.

fairly representative of their pizza:

Yeah it was pretty oily. The depth of the pool varied from place to place though.

Near as I could tell, the oil comes from the super rich/weirdo cheese they put on; it's not mozzarella, at least none I've run across. They called it that... but it wasn't by any stretch.

My wife thought it was alot closer to brie than mozza.

Pizza in Italy-thin crispy crust, simple, no more than one topping, easy on the cheese.

Chicago
pizza-Thick chewy doughy crust, a folded wool blanket of adhesive like cheese, pound sof fucking cheese...then grab the cheese shaker and spend 20 minutes emptying its contents to your already tire sealant lookin pie,half a dozen "toppings" tho they are more like "stuffings".
CA pizza- semi thick chewy crust, 6 or more largely inappropriate toppings per pie (hold the mint infused duck livers on my slice please)

NY pizza-thin crispy crust, simple, a couple toppings max..admittedly too much grease.

so its easy to see why I only Like NY style pizza and why its hard to even call deep dish "pizza".
IM more forgiving about weird toppings than I am about the crust.
it has to be thin and crispy, cant be a soggy doughball or Im out.

Okay its a fine line but by crispy I mean not chewy...its still somewhat pliable but juts barely.
CA, even the thin crust is still a bit too thick and more importantly too chewy or doughy.


I fold NYC pizza when I get the big ole MC Search slices that are like 10 inches wide at the crust edge.
If you dont fold , it can be tough to manuever those wide slabs towards your facehole and you risk a big glob of greasy cheese sliding off the crust and onto the sleeve of your LL Cool J track suit.

I could do without NYC pizza just fine too. Its not that its that great, its just that the other pizzas REALLY suck.

I dunno everyone's style of pizza is ok in it's own right. There's nothing wrong with 10 pounds of sausage and cheese. It's just not a pizza it's a casserole. There's nothing wrong with the west coast "pizza" either. It's just not pizza. It's salad on pizza dough. Which makes it a fucking flatbread.

For breakfast, DEEP DISH (cold). Spinach/Mushroom: hear me now and believe me later.

For thin crust, it's been said that the first time the crust is cooked is the best it will ever be. Something about reheating the gluten, getting tough/changing texture. But there's a method to reheat slices on the stovetop (!) in a large covered pan. The bottom of the pan revives the crust, while diffuse heat in the chamber warms up the toppings. Be careful, you can scorch the crust if you don't pay attention. It works, and is slightly better than reheating in the oven, but possibly not worth the trouble.

Method depends on degree of hangover/lateness.

they sure do, but what's with that one with mushrooms?  that's kind of "out there" for Chicago, no?  plus, I don't know if I can eat that many mushrooms!

I like the extra crust-lip on those.  as if to say "this is how high the toppings would be piled on a California pizza, those crazies!  we plain midwestern folk don't need none of that crud.  our extra high crust-lip® serves as a reminder of this.  like leaving an empty seat for Elijah at Passover.  that is-- if you were a dirty, Christ-killing Jew, which thank God you're not!"

Upon further review, the box from my pizza would buttfuck that gay ass chicken stir fry pizza that no one wants.

Pizza is Chicago Deep dish. NY floppy thin crust,  and the rest of them when it's a basic margarita cooked on some woodfire fucking doom thing by hipster indie rockers - and that's it.  No Californians allowed.

Their pizza is good (a little cornmeal in the crust I believe, keeps it crispy) but the sausage version is gross/guilty pleasure... there's a big disc of sausage meat covering the whole pizza (hiding underneath the cheese).

Cornmeal might not be mixed into the dough, but maybe sprinkled on the pant to keep the dough from sticking.

You mean sicilian pizza?

My great grandmother from Sicily used to make it by hand in an apt in NYC.  Still the best version I've ever had.  It's a nice change of pace now and then but I still prefer thin crust.

nah the Sicilian is different than the grandma. The grandma is made with marinara not pizza sauce. It has circles of mozzarella on it . And basil. But it seems like their is more marinara in the perfect spots. It's a thinner crispier less bready crust than the Sicilian.

I figure if they make pizza cacio e pepe in Rome and call it pizza then I surely can.  I just added garlic, onions, and arugula.

I love our pizza debates.  How do you feel about turkey bacon.  I find it near blasphemous but still enjoy it.  I would rather it be called fried turkey strips though and not bacon cuz bacon is holy.

Back to pizza - first I put the rack all the way to the top, put the stone there, and out it on 500 degrees.   A whole hour would be ideal.


Then I stretch it out, let it relax for a while, brush the crust with olive oil. I have frozen single pizza portioned plastic bags of my homemade tomato sauce and always use mozzarella cheese.   Sometimes with tons of vegetables and sometimes with none.  The longer it stays in the oven the better it is so I have to keep an eye on it.

Title: Re: PIZZA
Post by: Lumpy on September 06, 2014, 12:10:46 PM
Lou Malnati's has a cornmeal aspect to the crust that other deep dish pies don't have (I think it's corn meal - it has a different texture). It's also not as deep as most. It's good, it's just slightly different than the others.

I liked Giordano's the best, and (I'll say it again) IMO the best version to get is Spinach/Mushroom.

Yo noobs, notice how the crust does not flop, even though you're calling it a "casserole". It's a solid base and therefore, it's pizza.

The Uno's pizza (last pic) with onions, peppers and mushrooms looks gross. You know those peppers and onions won't be cooked through!
Title: Re: PIZZA
Post by: MadJohnShaft on September 06, 2014, 09:06:48 PM
Our Giordano's in downtown Evanston was lackluster - it just relocated into a snazzy new corner location with a beer garden. I'll have to give them another shot.

Our Lou Malnati's is really good and is fun to go into. It's right near NU and the owner only hires hot girls.


I just saw a sign today they are opening an 800 Degrees Pizza. I think that's a fresh ingredients wood-fired place.

Onions and peppers if present will be somewhat crispy and not at all cooked til limp. Not sure why but that's the style, I believe it provides a nice textural contrast with the gooey cheese and sausage and the thick pastry like crust.

I hate the world so I made a squash crust pizza


This was the initial crust per the recipe, I wanted it cooked longer so I flipped it using a second cookie sheet onto olive oiled parchment sheets until it was slippery and brown as my future Colombian third wife's ass.

(http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p520/madjohnshaft/183da8cd11dcc53488c16d181ea26389_zpsdibruco9.jpg)

See? The crust is dark brown and tastes like an Italian cookie.



You would stand in a really long line listening to StonerRock music for MadJohnShaft's Squash Crust Pizza + Weird Salad food truck for $14. If you want the poblano pepper gnocchi in a small paper cup it would be $19. No utensils provided.

Cheap pepparoni is the reason I never get it on pizza. If we find a place with the good stuff, I'm all over it. But more often than not, it seems even 'good' pizza places use the cheap stuff that I'm pretty sure is just tile grout, sawdust and lard.
