Pizza thread..

[Remmie]

Have to agree with Tony on the breakfast thread and say that there is something special about a properly made Margherita. Sometimes I want some more toppings but simpleness of Margherita is a reliable, enjoyable classic.

There is nothing special about this type of pizza. It's the most depressive selection there is.

 

Had one in NY as the place I visited only seemed to have tuna ones left. I just sat there thinking my life had gone to shit.

Whereabouts in Italy is NY?

I’d never bother with a cheese and tomato pizza from, say, Pizza Hut or The Asda, but proper Netapolitan Margherita pizza is amazing.

They just added "Little" in front of it, mate.

The difference between a good Italian pizza and one you get here is that afterwards you can go for a walk, get a coffee, get some ice cream.

Here good pizza is measured in how many notches you have to undo your belt.

Then stop ordering huge pizzas

Not sure were you live mate? Probably in a pod in some Urban pizza commune.

I have an 8 hour round trip to Pizza hut and seriously that is better than anything on the way. Shite as it is.

I live on a tiny town 20 miles from Belfast. And there are 2 Italian pizzerias within 5 miles/10 minute drive.

Start your own pizza place, sounds like there's demand.

There are also about 8 other pizza places, just 2 specifically Italian ones. Saturated. But this forces them to have better offers. So I eat more pizza.

Which is a good thing.

[Grinch]

Don’t like take out pizzas, most are greasy. Can’t say I’ve had many that beats a Chicago town one or even better a proper home made one.

Until none of my clothes fit anymore.

Chicago Town is turd.

All in moderation. Pizza is fucking great though.

Pizzas in Italy are in a different league. We try and make up for shit basic pizza bread by piling loads of awful toppings on; mostly stuff that should be nowhere near it. Like chicken. Holy fuck.

Or cheddar instead of mozzarella. I love cheddar but not on pizza.

Agreed. Generally there is far too much cheese on our pizzas

[Remmie]

Agreed but back in the days when there weren't many options and I didn't know better I used to love them. They were better than they are now though with a much crispier flavoursome base and a cracking spicy tomato. Had to be over cooked of course. Now they are dry, with a dull sauce and too much cheese.

 

I'm going to experiment and make a purple pizza base by adding beetroot, mostly out of curiosity about how it will end up looking, after seeing a beetroot bread recipe online. Think I'll add a green pesto sauce and a blue vein cheese, any other quirky, colourful and veggie toppings anyone wants to suggest?

[General Dryness]

Broccoli.

[Jairzinho]

I suggest you hand yourself into the police.

[General Dryness]

I was being facetious.

 

I meant to say quinoa.

[Jairzinho]

Sorry, my reply was to Remmie, who I believe is now being tracked by the mafia.

[Jose Jones]

I've posted this before on another thread, but broccoli on pizza is good.

In bianco (no tomato sauce), mozzarella, loads of chopped garlic, broccoli, parmesan, sprinkle of salt and liberal drizzle of olive oil. Delicious.

 

Pumpkin also works well for the veggies, with red onion, feta and chilli - nice.

 

I made a roast pork dinner leftovers pizza this weekend - tomato sauce on this one, with mozzarella, roast pork slices, roast potatoes, brie... and a few slices of apple. Magnifico, even if I do say so myself.
