Well, actually, when I eat a pizza anyway, it's tough to beat Uno's original Chicago style lubricated with Uno's Amber Ale.

Oh yeah, pizza isn't pizza without sausage on it.  And black olives.  The more the better.  **** yeah, I love pizza.


Yup, wasn't too excited about pizza in Italy either, had one just outside the Vatican once that even had spinach on it.   It's all a matter of what you are used to I guess.  Had pizza there that wasn't too bad, but Chicago still makes the best.

I live in Chicago.  Man are we over loaded with great pizza.

The best Deep dish pizza is Lou Malnatis.  Now this is DEEP DISH PIZZA.   If you do not live by chicago you can have one ordered and delivered frozen to your house.    http://www.loumalnatis.com/

For Frozen pizza I like Home Run Inn.  The crust is buttery and crisp.  The sausage and pepporini, is the best.

I forgot about Beau Jo's, they make a pretty good pizza, crusts are huge which is why they serve honey, they're honey cheddar bread isn't bad either.  I thought I heard that pizza was a food for the lower classes in Italy which would explain the lack of quality I guess.  I could very well be wrong and it might just be different tastes.


We homemade pizza tonight and I like to make my own because my parents like lots, lots, LOTS of cheese and I'm more about the toppings with a sprinkling of cheese.  Oh yeah, what's your guys feeling on red sauce?  Most of my family won't eat it, they prefer "white sauce" or olive oil with dried spices in it.

Well Pizza startet its life as pice of round bread were they put leftovers on. Great way to make the more expencive foods (toppings) last longer. It evolved from there, but not too much. This info i have from my uncle and how their family lived over the generations and what pizza means to them. This means that their pizzas often were made with alot of variation in the toppings depending on what they had at home. The sauce and bread were usually the only constants and each family had their own "secret" recipes for sauce and bread.

The last time i was in Italy their neighbours came over and had brought their own pizzas and pastas, and i got to tast many different varietys and some really awesome sauces.

If I had stayed with them for an entire summer i would get superduper fat!

It wasn't like the pizza in Italy tasted like ass, it just didn't have much flavor to it at all.  Instead of tomato sauce it had whole sliced tomatos and sliced bacon, which in my book, make a good combo for, oh, a sandwich.  It was rather bland...like most European food I had over there.

diabilto, I can't agree with the bland food comment.  having never tasted bellybutton yet so I can't comment but I have had horse and it was actually pretty tasty when prepared as a tasajo.  with regard to your comment about food in europe my take is that with the exception of england I found european cuisine to be very good, moreso in southern europe.  perhaps you are used to the highly spiced and hot cooking from tejas and your palate is unhappy unless it's in five alarm mode?
