jjbrr Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Thoughts about pizza? Best you've ever had? Thick or thin crust? NY or Chicago? Topping preferences? I like mine from the North End in Boston. I don't understand the appeal of thin crust. Bacon goes good on pizza imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Chicago style pizza royally grossly extrmely overrated. Love NY style. Bacon pizza is so good. Throw on some pineapple and call it Hawaiin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I admit I can't classify Chicago pizza as real pizza. It's more like a casserole or something. I'm OK if Chicagoers flame me for this, but I still think Chicago deep dish pizza is in some subcategory of pizza which one cannot adequately compare to NY style. Apples and oranges imo. Overrated in what way? It seems like it is exactly what it claims to be - a thick pizza. I hope people don't expect it to be magically better than a thinner pizza simply because it's thick. Quality pizza is obviously a function of the quality of the ingredients used and proper cooking methods, whatever they might be. Does anyone have reviews of the new Domino's pizza?

Aberlour10 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Best ever? Pizza La Quattro Stagioni ( Four Seasons) in a small trattoria outside Bergamo. .... but... ,,,what about avocados? Avocados belong to this thread in the same way as bacon! jawohl! and to pizza with scampis too! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I suppose I should clarify for our non-American friends in case they aren't familiar with NY vs Chicago style pizza. NY pizza looks something like this:http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8431/nypizza.jpg Chicago pizza is thicker and the sauce goes on top, like this: http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/6610/chicagof.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackshoe Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 My first ship in the Navy was homeported in Yokosuka, Japan. My first or second day there I walked out into town to see the sights. One thing that surprised me was a Shakey's Pizza Parlor. So I went in to see what they had. Somehow Octopus pizza didn't ring my chimes. :-) There was an article in a recent Cook's Illustrated about deep dish pizza. One of the author's comments was about the "Chicago Grill/Pizzeria Uno" version. Apparently, "Chicago style" pizza was invented at Pizzeria Uno in Chicago many years ago, but Chicago Grill is a chain, and no relation to the original Pizzeria Uno, and their version is not nearly as good as the "real thing" (which apparently I've never had - I guess I'll have to try the Cook's Illustrated recipe one day).

jjbrr Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Some Malnati guy was the inventor of Chicago style pizza, if my food history and memory are accurate. Rudy, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Course, we all know that Sir Francis invented Bacon, but who invented the avacado? Peter Townsend?

Aberlour10 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 who invented the avacado? hmm, its hard to say...we know, the first written account of the avocado has been done by Spaniards at the beginnig of the XVI century. Maybe by the same man who invented the pizza >>> Francisco Pizzarro???. Anyway, the first receipt of pizza with bacon and avocado has been published in Sir Francis Bacon work "De dignitate et augmentis scientiarum" A.D. 1623 :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdanno Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Norway third in medal count at the olympics so far? LOL, population of like 5 million, and they are the best at EVERYTHING. So freaking sick, what a country. They live in the snow, what do you expect? They also have the best chess player, 3 of the best 10 bridge players in the world, a junior bridge team that won a gold medal recently on top of the best winter athletes, and they have a basically tiny population. It is just unreal how good Norway is at everything for it's size. Snow activities and indoor activities, two things that probably coorelate very strongly with how much snow they get. I bet they do a lot worse in the summer olympics! Btw, country that does worst in olympic medals per capita? India :) Well, Norway isn't only a small country compared to the US, it is also small when compared to Canada or Sweden or Germany or Austria.But of course they have the most beautiful coastline on the world, too.
