[My Name is Ed]

I'm a Mexican pizza supremacist, if it isn't slathered with some pickled green chilli with either cubed chicken or ground beef it's not good pizza (which is still pizza, so it's still pretty good).

My favorite type of pizza is plain cheese with crushed red pepper.

Hell yea, maybe with a little garlic salt or oregano. I love that even shit places in NYC will always have those garnishes. But a good cheese slice with just red pepper is excellent.

Buffalo chicken pizza is underrated as fuck.

Put onion on your pizza, it adds a dimension.

Do people class Flammkuchen as pizza? I'm really craving one atm

 

[Archeops]

I love-a da pizza, I eat-a da pizza, and I cook-a da pizza (when I have the time for it)!

My usual go-tos is traditional pepperoni and plain cheese pizzas, the latter I'll usually have plain or add in different types of cheese while I'll have the former with added stuff (usually in the form of bacon, some form of blue cheese, and minced garlic) if the options are there.

As far as take-out or ordering goes I stick to either Papa John's or local places that specialize in Neapolitan crusts or NY-style crusts (except for Pizza Hut’s, I had the Big New Yorker recently and it was mid), I'm picky about deep dish pizzas but as long as they still follow the standard dough-sauce-cheese-topping structure I’m fine with ‘em.

It depends on who you ask but it’s worth noting that flammkuchen uses unleavened dough and AFAIK only has three recognized toppings (fromage blanc or créme fraîche, onions, and lardons). In a way it’s more along the lines of a flatbread

What's that?

 

[Cloaca Rimjob]

What's that?

Bread with cheese and bacon on it that resembles a pizza. They're decent, think they're German or Austrian.

Best pizza is: Onion, green pepper, 1 type of meat. Ham, sausage, pep, doesn't matter choose your fav.

People who eat all-meat pizzas are nasty little greaseballs

If flatbread pizza counts, then flammkuchen counts.

I hate Green pepper. I feel like it takes away from the flavor of everything else and ruins the texture of what I am eating.

However, every place I go fucking pours them on so they might be good if they don’t cover the damn pizza.
Could also be they buy shitty produce like use White Button mushrooms vs Cremini. It’s the same damn thing, but they’re like a month more grown.

Ideally when paired with onion (which should be sweet) the bitterness should be a good balance with it. If it's got a fucky texture they're not cooking it long enough.

All I have to add to this is, pizza bagels

Yes, it's pizza to me, I don't care what Italians count as authentic. And it's delicious, absolutely my favorite kind of pizza. It melts in your mouth. To anyone who hasn't tried it, you should. It's easy to make, here's a good recipe: https://www.everyday-delicious.com/flammkuchen/

There's no cheese on flammkuchen, at least traditionally. It's sour cream, bacon and onions.

My husband makes really really good pizza. It took a few tries to get the crust right but when he did...it beats the chains for a fraction of the cost.
I have noticed that not putting spinach on the pizza takes away a layer of depth. We usually do ham, onion, tomato, spinach, and pepperoni with münster and mozzarella cheese. I put pineapple on my half if it's around.

We also make a hollandaise sauce pizza with the same stuff but extra onions and minus the pepperoni. In Germany you can get pizza made with Döner stuff that is amazing. (Hollandaise, lamb, tomato, etc. Been a while.)

Pesto, Alfredo, and BBQ also make good sauces.

Something tells me that if the option is there for you you can use quark instead of Creme fraiche/sour cream since it's German and all. Creme fraiche and sour cream often get used as substitutes for quark in German recipes in America.

There's a couple pizza places by me with Mexican pizza but they don't use enough veggies, they include Lettuce, and/or one uses fucking ranch as the sauce. Bitch, it's regular pizza sauce or taco sauce. A couple use salsa which I guess is OK but see the first two problems

Edit: should be ground beef or chicken, at least one kind of pepper, tomato, onion, black olive ideally

What do you guys think about thin crust?

All crust thickness is good.

 

[Xarpho's Return]

What do you guys think about thin crust?

Haven't had a good thin crust since the chains use frozen thin crusts (Domino's uses frozen thin crusts, even if the rest isn't frozen) and charge the same, so my natural inclination is they are dogshit.

I hope I'm wrong though.
