What makes or breaks a Pizza...

[DREDIOCK]

All this pizza talk reminds me of the days before I was married. when I considered Wrm beer and cold pizza to be the breakfast of champions LMAO

My Favorite pie

Sausage and Onion. reheated.

I've been know to go into a pizza joint and see a sausage and cheese pie  pizza ready to be sold by the slice and telling them just to reheat that one and give me that one instead.

for some reason the flavors just seem to be blended just a tad better when its been reheated. Specially in a Brick oven

Dominos circa 1983 had the best crust.  Fresh dough, very thin, and run through the cookinator for 6-10 minutes to an almost cracker texture, unlike todays 4-6 minute, doughy Bill-Murray-In-Stripes type cardboard.

Best ever was at a local joint in Lafayette Lousyana, called Bisbanos.  He had two secrets which I learned when I worked there:  

1. Don't use too much cheese, and always use it at close to room temp.  Heavy on the edges, thin in the middle~it all flows down there anyway.

2. On Vegetable (I know! I know, but there are cretins out there who do not put dead animals on their pie) only pizza, sprinkle a little flavored olive oil, again, around the outer edge.

Ideal ingredient mix is Japaroni, but it is hard to beat a pit-pizza.

stop teasing me with that.. someone gotta have a recipe thats hits the mark.. Don't they use some biscuit dough with the crust?

I'm no chef, I just eat the stuff.  But I do know they use only two ingredients:  1) mountains of cheese, and 2)  pizza

Pizza is just like sex. No matter how bad it is, it's still pretty good.

LOL I dont know if I'd go that far.

I've had some pretty bad Pizza in Fla. One place after two bites I upped anf left and refused to pay for it

Come to think of it. most of the Bad pizza I've had was in fla.

Not that All pizza joints in Fla are bad but

You would think that with all the New Yorkers down there more places would get it right

For national chains Godfather's was hard to beat. The best "small shop" pizza I've had was Peter's Pan Pizza in Seattle. It was 4 inches thick.

Just google it, all kinds of recipes online(dough and sauce). We have a 16"x 3/4" stone and 2 peels(14 & 16"), and we have not had a bad recipe yet.

A good thin crust makes it for me. Just about any combination of sauce, cheese, meat and veggies won't be turned down.

Try processing some fresh garlic and olive oil and mixing that with the cheese you will use on your pizza. Spread the cheese over the sauce and top with sliced tomato(I use the whole peeled cooked in a can and slice them in half), green pepper(red, orange or yellow will work too), fresh mushrooms, olives, onions. Good stuff.

My 7 year old likes sardines on her pizza.

That's a stuffed pizza, Chicago style.  Crust, cheese/toppings, crust, sauce.  You put the sauce on after it comes out of the oven.  The crust is a lot firmer than normal pizza crust, crispy on the outside, chewy in the middle.  
This is not pan pizza - if anybody calls it that I will kill them.
