The Great Great Pizza Thread - Page 9

**winebeavis** · March 27th, 2014, 01:45 PM

I've been all over the world and pizza shows up pretty much everywhere. There is no "best" pizza. The best is the kind you like.

It's different from place to place. You can get differences in the same place. There's some fine pizza made in Naples, there's also some really wretched stuff under heat lamps being sold as pizza as well.

As far as preferences go, I'm a fan of New York style. Toppings are the least of my concern when it comes to the pizza. A good blister and slight char on that crust is what makes it. I can't seem to be able to get a home oven anywhere near as hot as a coal oven. Whenever I'm in New York, I'm usually making a trip up 1st Avenue to East Harlem to Patsy's http://www.thepatsyspizza.com/index.html.

Having druthers doesn't mean I really don't like the knife and fork pies with salami in southern Germany. I like them just fine and happy whenever I wolf one of those down. Also been known to have a jones for the Chicago style deep dish pizza casserole from time to time.

Pizza is like beer. There's so many different types and so many that are just good.

Pizza with ALL the toppings! A little pricey, but totally worth it!

Pizza

with few toppings, cheap and not worth looking at

On the edge of the Melbourne CBD is Lygon Street, quite famous down here. For a few hundred yards, it's Italy

both sides of the street are Italian restaurants and not much else, run and owned by Italians

Most of them serve pizza. Can't say how many times I've been there for a dinner, gotta be 100 plus, but over the years I can only say I had 1 that was below par. ...... But next Friday night... we're going for a Pizza dinner there .... Mmmmmmmm, Can't wait. I love it when a place is busy and the staff a kind of yellin' at each other in Italian

And I ultimately get that placed in front of me

To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin: "Bacon on pizza is proof that God exists, loves us and wants us to be happy."

Salivating right now I am

Is there any food better than a true meat lovers pizza?

"Henrys" a little independent place around the corner from me offers their "deluxe meat lovers double up special" consisting of double toppings of pepperoni, bacon, ham, ground beef and Italian sausage on your choice of crust. (no photo available till the next time I order one)

You probably won't make it to 60 eating this special on a weekly basis but as they say what's the point of the ride if you can't enjoy it

I go out for pizza frequently, and I phone in for pizza delivery often too.

But I love to make my own, when I have the time and energy, because it's so worth it.

I had an Italian girlfriend once who made excellent pizza at home. She learned as a teenager from her grandparents who ran a pizza parlor, and she learned well. I loved it when she would make pizza, because she really got into it (like everything she did, if you know what I mean). And she was a natural comedienne, so she'd entertain me (and anyone visiting) whenever she worked/played in the kitchen. Eventually I learned to make pizza just like her. You could say she rubbed off on me, so to speak...

Someone gave me a pizza cookbook once, and even though I already knew the basics, it turned out to be pretty useful, mainly because it has this awesome recipe for a 30-minute pizza.

If you're lucky enough to have a wife or girlfriend who likes to cook, give her this recipe and ask her to give it a try. If not, and/or you like to cook yourself, why not give it a shot?

I scanned 8 pages from the pizza cookbook and uploaded them here (2 MB):

http://netkups.com/?d=aa6453f53d716
or
http://s0g547h1wz.1fichier.com

The archive includes 4 extra pages about making pizza dough (longer method) just in case you or your resident chef wants to go for the traditional method.

The critical 4 pages with just the 30-minute recipe also appear below:

In my experience , when you find a place where the staff yells at each other in Italian you're usually gonna get a damn good pie
