I love CPK. BBQ chicken is good. Santa Fe, and they used to make a tandoori chicken with chutney, that was the bomb.

 

Unfortunately we have no real Italian pizzaria's in my city. They are all run by over weight hispanics does that count?

On the topic though, California Pizza sucks , I am not a fan of the deep dish to much dough. And I don't like my pizza to be so greasey it makes a mess.

Paper plates always a must, but chinet extra thick no seep through.

I hate paying more than $15 for a pizza, and LC's $5 pizza is not pizza, its carboard with thin toppings on it.

Best pizza IMO is Costcos $10 huge pepperoni pizza, and tastes great cold too.

 

You want to try the Scottish method. Got a few friends from north of the border that didn't realise pizza's were supposed to be baked and not deep fried

 

[QUOTE=bobushka king,Sep 14 2007, 09:33 AM]I'll throw in so thoughts:

- If you've never tried New York City/Jersey pizza, then you can't talk about what real pizza tastes like, simple as that.

 

NY metro area (NJ mostly) local pizzerias are the only food products worthy of being called "pizza"


I cannot stress this enough. Support your local Frank's, Dominic's, Verami's, etc.

 

Mano in Ridgewood, NJ. They have THE BEST pizza in N.A. All ingredients flown in from Italy and they use fresh Buffalo milk mozzarella.

Deep dish is just nasty.

 

Amen.

First of all, the stuff served on the west coast claiming to be pizza is anything but. The same goes for Chicago. Yes, I just said it. Sauce on the top? WTF are you thinking?

Anyways, there is a time and a place for all pizzas. Sicilian, when done right, is a thing of beauty. Thin crust (not the pizza hut bullsh!t) is amazing as well. Brick oven has it's moments too.

No pizza should ever have more than 3 toppings, and only 2 of them meat.

Vegetables other than spinach, mushrooms and olives should NEVER appear on a pizza. Pizza with chicken, broccoli, lettuce, etc etc...is not pizza. It's crap on a cracker.

California Pizza Kitchen is not pizza.

You want real pizza? Come down to NY, and you'll never eat pizza anywhere else (including Italy.)

 

pizza at mcdonalds?

 

I wouldn't eat that if you paid me.

 

Local police love pizzerias.

Often you get to witness the classic Italian family greeting the employees/owners, and they walk straight to the back haha.
