PIZZA

A mild breeze makes you hungry, vegan.



That is a picture of thick crust pizza, not Chicago style deep dish pizza.

Oakland style pizza = mouse droppings, sprouts, and some repulsive non-dairy vegan FAGGOT cheese.

Those are not rat turds, they are capers.

I don't do those inch a round pepperonis for just that reason, you get a yicky cup of grease - if I have those I would hack off a corner so they don't curl -

I like those big full sized slices instead.

this one joint that I go to called Emilio's makes the 2nd best pepperoni pie that I've had. They have square chunks of pepperoni. Awesome. The best pepperoni slice that I've had is in the city in the same building as the Ed Sullivan theater.

Yeah I know.  sometimes the kale on the pizza will cup and hold onto too much of the lemon vinaigrette.

[Demon Lung]

Kale? Lemon? That's not pizza. That's flatbread...

[RAGER]

You are culinarily correcting me?  Ha!

[Demon Lung]

I'm pizza correcting you. Because you obviously need to be corrected. It isn't just you. Most people on the west coast don't know the difference between flatbread and pizza. Just like the whole pattie melt / grilled cheese thing...

[RAGER]

Not sure how you can correct me on anything culinarily.  Just because you;re on the East means jack fuck all.  The difference in pizza and flatbread is the dough.  Do you even know what "00" four is?

If you want to argue the differences between boxed macaroni and cheese, I will gladly concede.  Until then, shut yer macaroni hole.

[Demon Lung]

I can correct you because you are wrong. That shit isn't pizza. Ypu aren't the end all be all of the culinary arts because you work the salad station a longhorn steakhouse dude. The ONLY people in the world that consider shit like that pizza live on the west coast of the USA.

[Demon Lung]

This article seems to do a decent job of explaining it.

do you jump up on a chair and stomp your feet until someone takes a napkin and soaks up all that yicky grease?  EWWWWWWWWWWW!

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.

there are plenty of thin crust CA pizzas, which I am a fan of.  but NY, crispy?  so the pizza Louie eats in the opening credits of Louie is not real NY pizza because it can be folded?

[Demon Lung]

It has to be able to hold its self up.

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.

[Demon Lung]

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.

 Pizza Nazis = LOL

[Lumpy]

Pornographic...

"Deep Dish isn't real pizza" -- I think that's a fair statement. It can still be mighty tasty though. Even if you're a Pizza Nazi.

Folding your thin crust slice: that's not a problem. But a floppy crust sucks.

I'm no crust texture Nazi.  as long as the sauce and the cheese is right, I can deal with almost anything, deep dish included
