My local pizza place was great for like ten years. The food was greasy, they delivered quick and it was fairly affordable, all I want from a pizza place. Swapped owners a few years back and it went to shit. The crust became fucking inedibly tough (I say this as someone who loves tough crust) and the delivery times went from 30 minutes or so to 2 fucking hours. I've moved since then, but I'm still mad about it.

I know exactly how you feel. My favorite place really went down the shitter after changing owners. I've gone back multiple times, but after the last time I've given up on them. They used to be some of the best pizza in the state. Thankfully there's a lot of good pizza restaurants near me.

Funnily enough, the opposite happened with another nearby pizza place. They went to shit about a decade ago. Decided to try them again about a year ago, and they're great now.

On a different topic, has anyone seen Screamin' Sicilian Holy Pepperoni in stores recently? It's my favorite frozen pizza, but I haven't seen it anywhere for the past few months, and I'm wondering if it's just my area.

Most chain pizza suck ass. Little Caeser is the best but it's nothing compared to local joints. They actually take time to make them.

Where I live in Canada we have a few good local places. New York style pizza and Mambo's Pizza. Little Caesars I haven't had since I was 13. From what I remember it wasn't Pizza Hut level good but it was fine.

I see them at Ralphs/Kroger stores but it definitely varies from store to store, my local one only has Holy Pepperoni but another location that's a short drive away has their other varieties like Bessie's Revenge and either Supremus Maximus or Ultimate Deluxe.

Their main site has a "where to buy" section that has a store locator that can pinpoint which stores have certain varieties but I always take those kinds of locators with a grain of salt.

Looks like they don't update it very often, because two of the locations they listed haven't had Holy Pepperoni in half a year. Still, it gives me a list of stores to check, so thank you.

Edit: My nigga

A tip I have if your local pizza chain is ran by pajeets, order spicy paneer or chicken tikka pizza and add -inder or -deep to the end of your name so pizza place is making a 'za for one of their own benchod bros and they will not skimp on the toppings compared to if you order a pizza with western toppings.
 
My mom asked me to get her the Pretzel Crust little Caesars for Mothers day. It's fucking horrible. Thankfully they're discontinuing it again soon.

I scrapped a bunch of the salt chunks off the crust and it was bitter. I like soft pretzels, but this was like a cruel parody.

As to Pajeet Pizza, my advice would be DON'T. No one skimps like Pajeet, no one ignores health code like Pajeet. Using social credit cheat codes will not save you.
 
Best pizzas are the ones you make yourself. I fucking love thin crust ones with inhuman amounts of toppings on top.

600g plain flour
11g pack of dried yeast or equivalent
300 - 400ml tepid water
Salt/Pepper
Splash of olive oil

Mix it all together in a bowl until it's like a dough, take it out and knead it in plain flour. Make a ball out of it and put it in a clean bowl coated with olive oil, cover with cling film and let it sit in a warm room for a few hours until it's size doubles minimum - I like between six and nine hours.

Cut it into four equal parts, roll them into balls in flour, let them sit in your kitchen with a clean kitchen towel over them for an hour or so. Roll them out onto a pizza stone (get one if you fucking love pizza) or tray with baking paper, shove some tomato passata and grated mozzarella on top, and then go wild with your toppings. Drizzle olive oil on top and around the crust and put in the oven at 200C/390F for fifteen minutes.

I like to have the base, passata, then salt, pepper, oregano and parsley under the first layer of cheese. Goes down a treat.

Last pizza I made

Recipe for the dough is pretty much the same, obviously I need some practice with the dough. Sauce is very basic, mostly tomato, onion, garlic, various other spices. Really good crust though and I will keep on trying.

Looks fucking good, what kind of "sausage" is that you've got on the top?

Can't decide to post this in food abominations or not, but on my last pizza I decided to use jarred queso instead of the typical ranch I enjoy dipping pizza in. It wasn't that bad, really.

Jarred queso as in fake Tostitos-style nacho cheese?

And used it on the pizza itself as a topping or used it as dip for the crust?
