Bad Pizza

[Slash27]

I would sooner eat my own excrement...

We have a pizza place down here called Mellow Mushroom, which is pricey, but very good. But going cheap, I like Pizza Hut, though they've started skimping on ingredients, so I have to get extra cheese and extra toppings.

Went to the local one. Slow service, rude waitress, and expensive. Pizza was so damn good I'll go back though.

We have a Mellow Mushroonm and Johnnys New York Style Pizza close by. Prefer Johnnys.

I haven't had to pay for a pizza in a few years now.  Fresh hot pizza, my way for free.    Course, helps when your brother is an assistant manager of a Pizza Hut too.

one of my 'kids' is the manager at Papa Johns.  I get an average of two free a week

edit.  In the old recipe swap thread there's a recipe for really good deep dish style pizza.  I make it a couple times a year and it's amazing

Got to love it.   He'll bring one or two if I ask, but I don't eat as much pizza as one would think.  Wish Pizza Hut had as many options as Papa Johns though.  I would eat pizza more often if it did.

If u cant decide if u want pizza or a burger, u can have both...

Best pizza place is about 15 minutes drive from where I live. It's called tommy's pizzeria. It's in NY, prolly the best pizza you will ever have. Just the plain cheese pie is good. I usually get 1 large regular cheese for $16 bucks and a large buffalo chicken pie for $22. I usually do that once a month.

For some very odd reason I've always liked Dominos.  One night I ordered a Pizza from them.  45 minutes later I called when it hadn't arrived yet.  They said it would be here in 30 minutes.  Thirty minutes later I ordered a second time on-line.  45 minutes later the driver arrived with the Pizza.  After a two hour wait the driver had the gall to argue with me because I wasn't giving him a tip.  They offered me no discount.  Nothing.

A few days later I got a "We're sorry" discount coupon in the mail for a large pizza for $9.99.  I logged onto their website and could order the same pizza for $7.99.

I haven't ordered from them again and never will.  I'd take bad pizza over that experience.

This happened to me, they are 5 minutes from my home and it took them 45 minutes to reach me. I still like their pizza though it tops Pizza Hut in some ways.

I'm going to New York on Friday and can't wait to get a pizza from there.

Little ceasars pizza is NOT real pizza. Same thing with Pizza hut.

except you should ask yourself, what is real pizza?  the answer my friend is blowing in the wind.  pizza, pizza pie and real pizza is just something people use, to think they "eat better stuff" than others .

When I was in high school, I used to work at the local 15 miles away Shakey's pizza parlor.  When we could, we used to  get a thick dough, let it soak in jalapeno juice, add refried beans, cheese, chorizo, and sausage.  that was some really good pizza.  we sometimes would bring bacon and deep fry it along with some mojo potatoes and add it on top.  that was awesome.

Pizza is just like a hamburger or a hot dog.  if it tastes good, then it's the real thing

BS

Come to Jersey and I'll show you what real pizza tastes like.
Comparing Pizza Hut or Little Ceasers to real pizza is like finding the cheapest watered down store brand soda water you can find,adding some food coloring to it and calling it Coke

And BTW. That conglomeration you just listed and called Pizza. Wouldnt evenlegally be allowed to be called pizza in Italy

 Been 'on the skids' couple times..lived outta car few..one time was dishwasher at pizza place near Chicago. Had great oven, revolving triple shelves. Bottom cooked bottom faster, top cooked top faster, middle in between.
 Us peasants employed there got choice of small cheese pizza or small meatball sandwich.
 One day the all important pizza chefs didn't have time for my small cheese pizza..was told to make my own.
 I cooked the crust on bottom shelf, than cooked cheese on top shelf till oil baked out of cheese into red crust on top...from then on made my own.
 After week or so, boss asked for slice..made me pizza chef...whoo hooo...
 The waitress's would offer customers my 'especial' with extra top cooking, we'd split tips.
 Than I walked in on some weird prostitution thing in office and quit in big hurry.
 Gotta love Chicago.

That's a cool story, but all those "than's" kept hitting me like a shovel to my grammar-nazi face.

...
In many cases the reason they come out of your oven crisped at the edge and wet in the center is you need to cook them at 385 and not 400 per the instructions on the carton. By cooking lower and slower the water that results from the thawing of the red sauce and toppings evaporates rather than sits in the center. You also get an even rising and baking of the crust. The crust will brown just fine because you are cooking above 325 along with your sausage slices getting some sizzle.

Just tried this the other day.  Pizza came out great! 

thanks for tip.
