Pizza

[ToeTag]

I have ordered pizza's from every major chain in the past few months. 

Am I the only one that thinks it all tastes like total and complete POO POO?

I used to love Pizza from certain stores and now it is not the same as it used to be.  This does not exclude it showing up cold, upside down in the box or a completely different pizza than I ordered.  We stopped buying delivery pizza and just started getting frozen store bought.  Holy sheep sheet It's better than any delivery pizza that we have had in months.

Anyone else?

We have a really nice Italian pizzeria around here that does specialty wood-fired pizza.

Best Ive ever had.

I make my own most of the time

We have some really good pizza places around here but the missus still perfers to make it herself, and she claims its better.

small little mom-and-pop pizza place right by where i live.  it's awesome.   it's thick, it's greasy, and has so many pepperonis you can barely see the 2 inch thick layer of cheese.   i'll never order "franchise" pizza again, it's all become corporate cardboard.   i ordered a "new" dominos pie right after they claimed to have made all those changes.   guess what.   same old crap was delivered to my door.  the changes that were made?   some new commercials, a new box, and the crust had butter slopped on it.    nasty.    on the other hand, i agree that even bad pizza is still pretty good, but i'm not going to drop $20 on some sloppy half warm cardboard in the shape of my favorite food.    my $0.02

We have an awesome pizza place here.  The only problem is that my wife and I ordered 2 medium pies and the bill after delivery charges was 40.00. Then we would have had to tip the dang driver?....no way!  I told them to cancel my order.  Went to the store got two medium pies for 12.00 and they were better than the other options for delivery.

Thats the thing with really good pizza, its often pretty expensive.

Not like I dont have options in DE, every other restaurant is a pizza place.

chain pizzas are bad, frozen are disgusting. this is where I get mine, cooked by italians, served by italians, and quite a few eaten by italians. and half the price of a dominos delivery

After years of dissapointing store bought (forget delivery), I do make most of my own.

Because this is a spa/vacation/heavily tourist city, we are extremely lucky to have 3 excellent pizzarias that are authentic in their own way.  Rod's Pizza Cellar is unreal..."The Godfather" is about $30 bucks but is the size of a tire and about 1 1/2" thick (NY Style).  "Hollywood Pizza" is one of the sons of the Rod's family and is the inventor of "The Godfather" but broke away and has his own joint.  "Rocky's" is right across from the horse track and also does NY style but has a couple of Chicago Styles that are OK...but no where in the original class "Poetesta's" or "The Silo" from the IL North Shore.

I have to do my own Chicago Deep Dish.  

Nobody in town does California Style so I do my own of those to.

If I had a 1/2Mil $ to spare I'd open my own place and do all three styles including a line of thin/crispy crust as well...half would be a sub shop with gourmet subs in the "Leno's" style as well as authentic Philly Cheese Steaks and Chili Cheese Fries.  Nobody anywhere does that that I know of.

find a local mom and pop store.

 i order mine from ciffellis in lindenwold. i pick it up, 'cause they charge for delivery.....but it's probably the best pizza in my area.

In college I used to get the Dominos Extra Crust and it was awesome. It's not on the menu but I think they still make it.

What is California style? 

Chains suck, frozen (unless it's on sale for $1-2) is just cardboard with cheese IMO.  You gotta look for the non-chain places, but there are plenty to choose from with varyng price ranges too here in LA.  I can't stand Pizza Hut anymore, stuffed or unstuffed crust, Papa Johns is too sweet, Dominos and their new recipie is alright, I'd say good for being a chain, but still I can make a much much better pizza at home if I have the time to wait for the dough to rise.  Most family places around here also suck or don't meet my taste.  I like simple, plain, with quality ingredients and toppings (lots of toppings though).  We got some incredible little pizza joints here in West LA where I work though to go grab lunch at (or a late-night midnight run), around the Westwood UCLA area.

Here in florida there's a chain of stores called Godfather's Pizza.

Their three cheeses + bacon bits+ lots of shrimp bits pizza is to die for.

Here you go http://www.loumalnatis.com/.  It will arrive next day packed in dry ice.  Pop in the oven and then move family to Chicago so you can have it every day

There is a pizza place here called Papa Murphy's that will make the pizza fresh in front of you, wrap it, you take it home and cook it, just fantastic taste and much cheaper.
