Pizza Time!

'Member school pizza, anyone?

The true redpill is buying frozen pizzas and loading them up with olives, mushroom, banana peppers, and spinach

The quality of Dominos and Pizza Hut sharply declined somewhere around 2013. Anyone else notice that? I mean it was never super great but at least the pizza you'd get from there was edible. Now it tastes and feels like the dough is partially made of sawdust.

I don’t know if it’s just me and where I live but I’ve noticed I can go to a chain place and get a decent to good pizza one day and the next time I order from them it’s the worst thing I’ve ever eaten and I throw most of it out. We’re talking same location and there’s never any rhyme or reason to it. The only thing I can think of is it’s due to stuff like turnover of staff or different suppliers.

The worst offender for this where I live is Little Caesar’s but Domino’s, Marco’s, and Pizza Hut aren’t immune. Funnily enough, the only chain pizza place that’s been consistently “Good” is the Sbarro in the mall. We’re talking “Good” as in “consistently edible and I don’t regret paying $4 for a slice” but my local joint is my go-to for special occasions.

As for Papa John’s, I’ve tried them multiple times in multiple places and have never liked a pizza from them and I’m NOT a pizza snob. I have Totino’s and Tony’s frozen pizzas in my freezer because I grew up with those and they’re my go-to’s for nights I don’t feel like cooking and don’t wanna go out.

I’ve been trying to find a way to recreate the “Sicilian” style pizza crust from a place in CIncinnati. They won’t give out the recipe for the crust so I’m working on trying to recreate it. I know they use All-purpose flour, and I took these pictures last time I was there. Any help is appreciated.

Sometimes it is impossible without a pizza oven.
What do you put your pizza on?
Sometimes they also pre-bake the crust.
What is the texture?
Is it flaky?
Is it crunchy?

Hungry Howie's is best chain pizza, and don't you forget it. Faggots.

As you can see above, the outside of the crust is crunchy, with a fairly light/chewy inside. Right now I bake my pizza on a cookie sheet, aluminum I believe. I’m pretty sure they don’t pre-bake. This is a fairly thick crust.

Try a pizza stone.

After all this chat of highly processed, excessive frozen pizzas.

Ellio's Pizza is the best frozen pizza brand.

Never seen those but looked them up and seen they're made by dr oetker.

These are decent if you squirt some sweet chilli sauce on them.

I also found out a while ago that you can't just put raw bacon on a pizza and expect it to be cooked when the pizza is done. You gotta fry it seperately.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but anchovies are pretty decent with capers and olives.

 

[Splinters RCVD ✞]

Single-handedly the most epic thing I have seen in terms of pizza. I call it the Giant Quadrupizza. @Null Something like this is what you should celebrate with when/if you find the woman of your life.

Can confirm, they are my go-to chain...plus they have feta as a topping option which is greatly underappreciated by most people who eat pizza. I never knew they were from Michigan originally until I was up there for a client.

I definitely recommend not getting anchovies and feta on the same pizza, however.

I have a local pizza chain that gives you two large pan pizzas for 28$ USD. They also have good donair, fries. 10/10

I almost exclusively go to local places. One place for thin-crust, and two for Greek. That said, I like trying new places, now and then.

When I have to get something from a chain, the only one where I live is Domino's, so I guess that wins by default. Though, when I used to go to the mall as a kid, I always got Sbarro's.

For frozen pizza, I usually go with a thin-crust pepperoni Digiorno's. Adding extra seasoning, cheese, and pepperoni (if I have it), of course. Sam's Choice is surprisingly good, too.

Also, for those of you who have been to the "pizza capital of America" (New Haven, CT), is it just me, or are the "big three" really overrated? I tried them out while I was in the area, and I wasn't impressed. Pepe's and Sally's were really good, though not the best I've ever had, and Modern was average at best. I was expecting to have my mind blown, with how they're supposed to be some of the best pizza places in the country. Maybe they just make shitty pizza for out-of-towners who don't know the secret way to order?

The bottom of the pizza suggests a pan pizza like what many of the big chains offer. Basically instead of corn meal, they butter (oil) the bottom, put the dough in (making sure it totally covers it), and preparing the other ingredients on top of it.

Local Pizza Hut is all decked out in Pride shit, thought about walking out but I can’t get away from it.

Then again, I actually worked pizza at one time not very long ago in a much more conservative area and a not-insignificant percentage of the staff was LGBT, so living in a more liberal area means that the number is even higher.

 

[get_ur_gamon]

Pizza express is godlike. Around the same price as some Dominoes pizza (if not cheaper) but the quality is just so much higher.

It is just a UK chain, but once you realise how expensive Dominoes is, I'd rather just eat out at some fancy place rather than order expensive dog shit to my door.

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

Try a pizza stone.

Fuck that, use a hot cast iron pan, faster, cheaper, better. Pizza stones are like whisky stones or Karen's Magic Crystal Bullshit. I'm not saying the crystals/stones doesn't work, but you know...

 

[Least Concern]

I've discovered a secret. I can get a take-and-bake pizza and then, rather than baking the whole thing at once, I can slice it before cooking and then just bake a slice or two at a time really quickly in my air fryer/toaster oven. Fresh, non-reheated pizza each time for not much more time than it takes to reheat cooked slices in the microwave.

I'm sure I'm not actually the first person to discover this "life hack" but I really dig the results.
