Pizza Time!

[Eiko]

Don't know what Dominoes Pizza is like in America but here in Australia it is horrible. Michelangelo's Pizza is pretty good.

[Raptor86]

Here in the Netherlands is so-so. Not really like a true Italian pizza...

[Nameless]

Boston Pizza has the best speciality pizzas i find. i love Spicy Perogy pizza.

the best pizza crust near me is CP pizza.

but the best place is my local pizza joint that will does delivery to my house. and when you live 20 minutes out of town on a farm thats huge .

Papa Nick's in NY- best pizza on earth.

& Roy's/Ray's from Secret Of The Ooze, without any bias for the TMNT, is AMAZING.

They've got a really good thin crust but I also like their thick crust. Not too fond of the one by my mom's whenever I go to visit in Tn. Seems like they literally dust the tops of their pizzas with some sort of seasoning. A little would probably suffice but those guys really pour it on, whatever it is. The Domino's around here is great though.

I seem to have really bad luck with people burning the bottom of my pizza. I even tell them directly. "Please don't cook my pizza too long. Every pizza place I go to anymore burns the bottom of my pizza." I always get the same response; they laugh about it and tell me I have nothing to worry about...and then I get my pizza and it's still burnt on the bottom.

I've been to over ten pizza places lately; all of them have burnt the bottom of my pizza. Seriously, I've never had this problem in the past, why is it that every Pizza Parlor/Italian Restraunt I go to anymore do this? Is it just me and that people really like the taste of burnt crust on their pizza? Is that what the kids are into these days?

I guess I just have bad luck.

Ah man, Zpizza does sound vaguely familiar! Now I'm tempted to see what I can find regarding this chain because I'd almost swear we passed by one in Tx. Yup, I see there are around 3 or so in Austin where I had to travel in order to take my Teachers' certification exam. No wonder it sounds so familiar. There are about 5 or so in Tx. Wish they'd expand their chain here. I'll have to order from one when I head to Austin in April to do more testing.

Pizza and Turtles do make one heck of a combo. Used to dislike pizza when I was a kid. People kept shoving supreme pizza at me which I never liked to begin with, but once I crossed paths with peperoni and cheese as well as plain cheese it was love at first bite. Not sure if some chains still do this, but I also remember dessert pizzas back in the day. Pizza Hut just does... oh some kind of Hershey breadsticks, I think. I never order dessert because I always feel guilty ordering out to begin with. haha Those Cookie Cakes from Great American Cookies would pass for excellent dessert pizzas, I guess.

Yeah, I looked it up and Greg Cipes has been a vegetarian since he was 8 and a vegan since '09 (according to wikipedia a couple other sites). Mikey is the character I'd most like to see become a vegetarian (at least!). Must be fate, LOL! So many tv shows are having characters that are vegetarian or vegan. Last cartoon that had a vegetarian that I can recall was Judy from Doug and that was forever ago.

I almost forgot about dessert pizzas; I used to eat them all the time as a kid-- I think it was CiCis' (or Sicily's) pizza or something that had them, they were popular in Biloxi, MS where I lived at the time. I had another dessert pizza a few years ago but it just wasn't the same.

Turtles and pizza definitely go together!

Mikey being a vegetarian just doesn't work, IMO. He'd miss out on so many pizza toppings.

I have a tun of relatives in MS! Come to think of it, CiCi's did have some amazing dessert pizzas. Wish I could remember how the actual pizza tastes. But anywho, my cousins in MS were crazy about CiCi's from what I remember. We had a few of those around Arkansas when I used to live there as well. Haven't seen any in Tx though. There was a local joint close to us called Pizza Patron which was pretty good but they closed a while back. There's another pizza placeclose to me but you buy them frozen and cook them yourself. Looks like they sell vegan pizzas too. Pretty cost effective from what I'm seeing on their menu. I'll have to give that place a shot. They do very good business from what I've been hearing. Mikey being a vegetarian would give him an excuse to utter the classic phrase,"I crave pizza no more." I'd forgotten about Doug's sister being a vegetarian. There's also Lisa Simpson.

I may be biased, but my go-to for chain restaurants is Papa John's- but then, my hubby and I worked there for over three years, and the town I lived in had all three major chains (PJ's, PH, and Dom) as well as Pizza Inn, and our PJ's was the best chain in town (at least according to our customer base- many of them came over to us from those "other" places....) When the PJ's closed down- due to the owner's IRS issues, not any fault of the store itself- strangely enough, many of those customers drifted to the Dominoes (which the hubby and I also ended up working for). When we both quit, they started loosing business.... Have no idea why.

Unfortunately, there is no PJ's where I live now, so it's either CiCi's or Pizza Hut. Both are pretty decent, but I like CiCi's better for the variety and the dessert pizzas.

When I was a kid, there was a place called Mama's Pizza in my hometown, that was AWESOME! A little mom and pop place, only had two stores. Here in my current "home" there is a place called Varona's which is pretty good when you want a "real" pizza.

[goodfellaray]

What about Costco pizza? Anybody like Costco pizza? I think it's pretty good. Especially their cheese pizza. mmm.

I'd forgotten about Lisa! Also, to Powder, vegetarian pizzas have plenty of toppings, Mikey seems to like candy the best anyway (jellybeans).

Yeah, CiCi's was really popular when I was there, over half our church would go there, it was like an extended sermon with food, LOL!

Frozen pizzas are good. I used to like Papa Murphy's a lot but haven't seen any lately-- their pizzas tasted so good and fresh when you brought them home and baked them. -- Not sure if they have any vegan pizzas, though.

When I was in college my roommates and I dared each other into eating what we called "Ninja Turtle Pizza."

It was pepperoni pizza with lots of ice cream, chocolate sauce, and marshmallows on top. The other guys weren't sure how they felt about it (it's a pretty strange combo.) But no one hated it.

I actually liked it a lot. Guess all those cartoons did fry my brain.

[UGHShellshocked]

I really enjoy Mellow Mushroom but they are really expensive for a pie.

Its almost like a trippy TGIFridays but they serve pizza.


Here's a video featuring my local restaurant

[pannoni1]

I tend to vary my styles of pizzas, but I generally like pepperoni and cheese the most, with the occassional peppers, sausage, and olives mixed in. For my last birthday I went to a Pizzeria Uno (it's more of a chain now), and I'll have to say they had the best deep dish pizza I ever had. In terms of NY style pizza, I enjoy Grotto's Pizza of Delaware whenever I am over there and really like the ingredients. I dislike Domino's the most in terms of restaurant pizza, and Tony's since that feels cheap. I like thin California-style pizza and enjoy that the most with many toppings.

In los angeles I'm partial to a place called lamonica's because it's good, friendly, well priced and nearby.

I love pineapple on pizza but dislike canadian bacon, so not a fan of what most would call a "hawaiian." When I was in college we ordered a specific pizza (lots of delicious toppings, pineapple included) from the nearby Domino's so often that we got them to name it after me as an off menu item. All you had to do was call up and ask for it by name. Kind of embarrassing, but I'm proud of it as one of my "most turtle like" moments.

There are countless other places in NY that are just as good as Grimaldi's. Gaby's Pizza in Queens is always awesome along with two other joints in Long Island called La Vera Pizza and Mama Theresa's.

True. There's no shortage of excellent Pizza in Ny. There was a place called Pizza La Fresca (I think that was the name), that was also great. A little more expensive but they had a great quattro formaggi.

For frozen we get Schwan's pizza. Man, that stuff is good.

[blindturtle02]

I'd love to try NY style pizza. So how big is big when we're talkin slices? And what else is different about it? Better ingredients? Honestly curious. Guess I really haven't experienced quality pizza yet. Perhaps I'll get the chance one of these days. This thread makes me wish I had some sort of automatic pizza dispenser. There's not any around to sate my cravings after reading! Guess it's off to the frozen food section of HEB to pick up a Red Baron and some extra pizza cheese. Hey, when you're on a tight budget saving up for a wedding, ya work with what ya got.
