My discounter (what we call chains like Lidl here) on the corner has a brand that is called "Italia Numero Uno" and it's so fucking good that i am stepping out in a hot minute to buy one despite having already bought groceries for the weekend earlier today. At 4€ per it's pricey for a frozen pizza but the dough and tomato sauce (which most frozen pizzas do not get right) is on point.

Best pizza i ever ate was in, no joke, the Olbia airport, at almost 10€ a square slice borderline criminal pricing, especially when you consider it's fucking Italy/Sardinia. Had a ~2 hour flight turn into a 12 hour ordeal thanks to our plane being late, i initially told myself "No fucking way am i paying this much for a slice", then the plane got delayed and delayed. I eventually caved, bought a slice for me and my girlfriend and that shit tasted like manna from heaven. I ate some excellent pizza on that trip already but that slice was Elder God-tier.

My slice like that was Benny Tudino's in Hoboken. It was definitely not the best I've ever had, and unlike yours, it is ridiculously cheap at least considering that the "slice" is so insanely large it's larger than the average "personal pizza" sold these days.

It was $5 when I got it 15 years ago and I just looked it up and it's still $5. It's really good (not god-tier in quality), but it's god-tier if you factor in the price compared to what you get.

Then there's NYC in general where you can go to some massively overpriced shithole and get served garbage pizza and then to somewhere you've never heard of for a quick cheap slice and get a slice of Heaven. NYC has the best pizza in the world but unfortunately also the worst outside of the bizarrely insane shit in some South American countries.

I know many (mostly italian) pizza "purists" shit on NY slices and American pizza in general but eating an authentic NY slice in some rundown but nevertheless excellent pizza parlor is high on my bucket list should i ever make it to the States. I watched too many movies and shows playing in New York where the characters eat pizza to not be interested in trying it, starting with the Ninja Turtles cartoon.

Italy itself is, surprisingly, no slouch itself when it comes to weird pizza creations. On the vacation i spoke of in my previous post i ate pizza with fries on it, pizza with vienna sausage and fried eggs and other, very unconventional toppings. Friend of mine told me he was in Naples with his italian wife and their kids a couple of years ago and his son ordered a sweet pizza with Nutella and various chopped nuts on it in a place they went to.
Can't understand why pastaniggers get their panties in a bunch over Pizza Hawaii when they got stuff like that on their regular menus.

The really solid "New York style" pizza places almost always have an authentic margherita too. That's my usual test for whether a pizza place is worth business, at least outside of pizza deserts where merely being edible is as good as it gets.

That sounds great. And I'm pretty sure they re-imported the dessert pizza concept from the U.S.

I am sure they did. How my friend told it to me was his kid was still elementary school age at the time but he let him order by himself, not checking the menu to what his son actually ordered nor recognizing the name of the pizza the kid wanted and the waiter shooting them a glance like "God, these foreign fucking barbarians!" :story:
Gotta go with the trends if you want to make money. Even in a city like Napoli, which is exceptionally autistic about its food culture even by italian standards.

Hey, I've been there. They're pretty good.
For the thread, if you go to their website, you can see just how gargantuan those slices are

Apparently this deal has been sending pizza hut crowds into overdrive while being sold out very quickly. Just thought I let you all know.

I'm calling my local Pizza Hut chain to order the maximum ahead of time for my lunch hour. I'm on hold for several minutes to REACH SOMEBODY to ask for an advance order. God damn. Are they understaffed or just incompetent?

I've stopped eating hand-tossed crust on pizza. From now on, it's thin and crispy for me.
Sometimes, a thin and crispy with pepperoni REALLY hits the spot.
Simplicity at it's best and absolutely DELICIOUS.

I love Dominos hand-tossed but ive stopped buying from them after they started hiring retarded Jeets who cant tell the difference between a Coke and a Sprite, seriously I ordered a 2-liter once and the guy grabbed a sprite and drove all the way to my house despite the receipt saying Coke, its just the 4 local places in my area for me now, 2 of them are Greek but Greek Pizza isn't that much different from Italian Pizza except the dough being slightly thicker and more cookie-like which im ok with
 
There was this pizza place I used to eat at years ago before i moved, they used to be this restaurant that had a pizza and deli part in the mall before it got closed, they ended up moving from the mall to this location that was near a car dealership. They would cook their pizzas at first in a conventional pizza oven and move it into a red brick oven to crisp the bottom. Damn was their pizza good, anyways I'd order a pizza with pepperoni, sausage, bacon, ham, red onions and olives and that pizza was fire, greasy yes but boy was it good.

I've read about Domino's going through some quality improvement in recent years but the pizza I got last weekend to satisfy my slop craving was inedible.

I have some nostalgia for the taste of the sauce and the yeasty dough Dominos had back in the day but this had none of that. The dough was flavorless and I swear the sauce was just plain tomato paste.

Tried eating it for 2 different meals but ended up making something else both times. 3/4 of it straight to the trash.

Dominos doesn't sit overnight very well. Of all the big chain pizzas to overnight the refrigerator, Dominos turns out the worst hands-down.

There's this bitter, tinny aftertaste and the cheese doesn't even have that signature goyslop quality it's just barely there the next day.

I don't inflate my expectations just, some things compound the wisdom to lower your expectations.
