no peppers?With all due respect, adding fruit to pizza is unforgivable.
I generally don't like pineapple on pizza, but it's entirely possible that's because I don't like pineapple in general.oh god I hope people don't find out I like pinapepl on pizzo
this was specifically to accommodate my dietary restrictionsI feel like cheese is a base component rather than a topping. It can be removed, but thatβs really an exception vs the standard. Itβs like calling the patty of a hamburger a topping, or the pizza sauce.
i thought you meant like those crunchy things with the weird fake cheese dust insideI like simple combos
in all seriousness I used to fucking love bell peppers on pizzano peppers?
this is the right one, right hereI love pizza in general, but ultimately I think, and maybe this is my Viet showing, all my favorite pizzas should include at least four, if not all five, of the following:
1) something savory
2) something salty
3) something spicy
4) something sweet
5) something herbal
with bonus points for textural interest (crispiness).
Some ingredients may cover several bases.
Examples:
- pepperoni (savory + salty + crispy) and hot honey (sweet + spicy)
- pineapple (sweet), bacon (savory + salty + crispy) and jalapeno (spicy)
- bacon (savory + salty + crispy), feta (savory + salty + unctuous) and spinach (herbal)
- pepperoni (savory + salty + crispy) and mushroom (super-savory), sprinkle of crushed red pepper (spicy)
- sausage (savory + salty + crispy) and caramelized onion (savory + sweet), sprinkle of crushed red pepper (spicy)
- four cheese white pizza (savory + salty + unctuous) with garlic oil (savory) and minced chive (herbal)
You might be happy to know I have no idea what you're talking abouti thought you meant like those crunchy things with the weird fake cheese dust inside
as a pizza topping
This is a really good summary of that Mary Kate and Ashley video that was posted earlierall and every godhead gathered tableside for brunch β rare tourists, rarer gathers yet
their eyes... they fumble. a linger too long on the words we've said here, unencumbered
every last one, averse or repulsed, calculates an awkward turn of the head by mere degrees
do not make eye contact with our sins in neon though they burn upon your retinas. no judgment could stop us, nor oblivion hold us, nor wave take us down from our pillar of crust
we are the hollow. we are the slathered. we are crisp and abundant and beholden to the billion whims in superposition.
you cannot outthink us. you cannot command us. chess holds no candle to foundation's topped sauce.
the godheads disperse. each belay an unfinished dish from a vast ambrosial menu with no overlap.
we gather them all
and we put them on pizza
No pizza thread is complete without this masterpiece.
It's a disasterI Yeah'ed it before I even finished watching. The little flourishes, my god
Edit: OMG THE WAY HE CUTS IT AT THE END WTF
I watched a youtube video of a chef trying out different NY pizzas, and he and others in the video were saying that among NYC pizza fans there's a belief that a plain cheese slice is like the epitome of good pizza if it's made well. The quality of the dough, sauce, combination of herbs and spices, baking technique, all that will factor into a plain cheese pizza potentially beating out anything with toppings. So hell yeahJust cheese is usually my favorite.
I 100% agree with that (NY pizza is my favorite pizza too!). It is my rule of thumb when trying a new place to always try their cheese pizza. Toppings can salvage a bad pizza, but if the core pizza isnβt good I wonβt come back.I watched a youtube video of a chef trying out different NY pizzas, and he and others in the video were saying that among NYC pizza fans there's a belief that a plain cheese slice is like the epitome of good pizza if it's made well.

honestly, I agree. cheese pizza and pizza margharita are the platonic ideal when done well. Iβm firmly of the opinion that most US pizzas have too much shit on βemI watched a youtube video of a chef trying out different NY pizzas, and he and others in the video were saying that among NYC pizza fans there's a belief that a plain cheese slice is like the epitome of good pizza if it's made well.

I love a Neapolitan- or Sicilian-style pizza, but American pizza is its own rich subgenre. Itβs worth exploring if you ever get the chance!I feel like growing up right at the border to Italy, I have different Pizza tastes than most of this thread. Donβt say that is better, but honestly I only know American Style Pizza of occasionally ordering something from Dominoβs Pizza once or twice.

I like one of the comments where βadding the olives is the equivalent of placing coins on the eyes of the dead before sending it across the river Styxβ
oooooooooh serranos on pizza, I've never tried thatCannot believe jalapenos are not an option even if I prefer a spicier pepper like serranos. Or both in case one isn't feeling very spicy that day.
OP, what do you have against spicy peppers?
I thought putting broccoli would be funnierCannot believe jalapenos are not an option even if I prefer a spicier pepper like serranos. Or both in case one isn't feeling very spicy that day.

As a fan of fettuccine alfredo, I think a pizza with white sauce, grilled chicken, and broccoli might actually be good.I thought putting broccoli would be funnier
Iβve definitely made this, and it is good.As a fan of fettuccine alfredo, I think a pizza with white sauce, grilled chicken, and broccoli might actually be good.
An abomination for sure, but good.

Not in Italy.Tomatoes are generally considered essential
Happy to stand corrected, interesting. Now that I think about it, Iβve definitely had some tomato-free ones, particularly cheesy-herby onesNot in Italy.
You go to a serious pizzeria and at least half the pizzas will be without tomatoes.
Here is an example, great place we went to in Lecce:Happy to stand corrected, interesting. Now that I think about it, Iβve definitely had some tomato-free ones, particularly cheesy-herby ones
Some of those look amazingHere is an example, great place we went to in Lecce:
