Stuffed crust pepperoni is God tier, no chain is able to fuck it up in my experience. It's what I do a lot for game/movie night with my friends, be it little Cesar's or bake yourself in 17 minutes from Walmart. True perfection.

If it would fit in my freezer I'd keep a pie or two

I shared a vegan cheese thin crust pizza the other night from a bougie wood oven place.

The cheese was thin and translucent and reminded me of the plastic taste of the cheese from Pillsbury pizza pockets and mini pizzas from the microwave.

Eating vegan cheese is more gay than eating sperm.

How has Grimaldi's (formerly Patsy's) under the Brooklyn Bridge never been mentioned in this thread?

A slice of their pizza should be in the National Institute of Standards and Technology as the model of what pizza should be.

Patsy's was great, but it lost a lot back in the late 90s when it changed to Grimaldi's and was then sold and then expanded. I was a bigger fan of the OG Lombardi's (Spring & Mott)* back in the day. Plus weaving through the place to a table upstairs feels like that endless take from Goodfellas.

*my reference point is a bit dated, as is the lore of Patsy's. I see Lombardi's gets good but not great reviews now and was hurt severely by COVID. Sad. But those pies were amazing.

But that's a good thing. Imagine actually being in that endless take. Steadicam ftw.

Except I thought you meant this genius tracking shot.

That's the one I meant and grabbed the link for it while watching it - ugh - did it show up as something else?

Wait - wtf, I just clicked my link and got the "funny how" clip. I didn't even look at that when I grabbed the link. So thx - was supposed to be the one you embedded.

Eta - I'm not usually one for rewatching movies, but I've watched GF more times than I can count.

Both ananas and lettuce belongs on pizza, it's delicious.

Yes, lettuce can only go on it after it comes out of the oven though. No one wants baked lettuce.

Only thing I wasn't too fond of, is banana as a topping.

That's incorrect, cooked banana should be paired with curry powder and preferably chicken breast and either ham or a bit of shrimp or both. It's sweet and savory and the curry fuses the two together.

Of course, burnt/baked lettuce is gross regardless if it's on pizza or not.

I might actually have to try that. Because the thing I got was pretty plain from what I remember.

I’ve had pizza with radicchio once it was pretty good. Lettuce sounds bad though.

Amongst Italian-style pizzas, I’ve often found quattro formaggi to be disappointing. The only time I’ve enjoyed it was where they served it with honey. Margherita is hands down the champion.

I like a variant of that in a wood-fired oven with marinated artichoke hearts and basil pesto in addition to the usual ingredients.

My favorite is New York style in a coal-fired oven, with nice char on it and that you can fold in half lengthwise.
 
You know what I love about pizza? It's hard to make a truly bad one. Even the cheaper bargain brand personal pizza you buy armfuls of from Walmart for a buck each tend to be good enough that you'll keep eating it. You very rarely find pizza you'll just decide is a complete lost cause and throw away.

I can only think of a single place that I ever had truly bad pizza that I just didn't want to eat anymore, and it was one of those all you can eat pizza places near my house when I was growing up. One of the cooks there didn't know shit about making sauce, so it ended up bland as fuck to the point where it just tasted like slightly salted tomato paste. Ironically the same place also employed some of the best goddamn pizza chefs you could expect to find in a cheap pizza buffet place who made some absolutely incredible pizzas. I quickly learned those particular chefs schedules.
