Pizza toppings

[Sava]

Pizza is American, Fez... and Chicago style is the best!

The worst would be pizza from St. Louis. They put pineapples, cheddar cheese and all sorts of weird shyt on their pizza there. Personally, I prefer cheese, sausage, or occasionally pepperoni. Every once in a while I'll make a hamburger pizza (ground beef and onions), and a mexican pizza (beef, refried beans, tomatoes, peppers, cheddar, jack, pablano, and chihuahua cheeses).

Best pizza I ever had in my life was in Centerville, Ohio.

Pizza is italian.

I must say I´m dissapointed. When I was in Genua I ate traditional italian pizza. tasted ok, but nothing extraordinary... They make better Italian pizzas in Sweden

You were probably in the wrong area. My dad is Sicilian, and in in that area you find real pizza.

Hah! Sicilians aren't real Italians. They're Greeks who speek Italian. Real Italians come from the Center and North of Italy.

Che: That is one low, offensive statement to make.

You make fun of who I am... tells how hypocritical you really are... Sicilians make real pizza, not some fat Americans.

Most of the "Fat Americans" i see making pizza here happen to be Italian Americans, so watch your mouth, Spaniard.

Yeah right.

Also the only person who calls me "spaniard" in such a harsh manner is Speer.

I'm teasing you, Fez don't get your undies in an uproar.

[Giancarlo]

Che, don't tease me. And why bold my name?

[chequita guevara]

So that you see that I'm addressing you. I always do it. As for the teasing, Northern Italians and Southern Italians always rib each other.

Fez, there are a LOT of Italian-Americans.

However I used work next to a place that better pizza than those crappy chains like Numero Uno. It was a Korean shop. Not great pizza but better than chain pizza.

Of course New Yorkers have this idea that only New York has good pizza. Some think its the water. How that would that be better in the concrete jungle of New York than in, say LA, where much of the water is from the Sierra Nevadas is another question.

I do know of one possible cause that might actualy effect the quality though. A lot of New York pizza shops apparently use coal fired ovens. You can't even get coal in California. I have seen lump of anthracite in my life and it was part of my rock collection. If you could get it you wouldn't be allowed to burn in Southern California anyway. Even the barbeque shops have forced to get scrubbers for the smoke.

There are millions of us.

Ethelred, the difference in regions has to do more with the style than anything else. Outside of Chicago and NYC, pizza tends to be rather bready or uses inferior cheese. It is possible to find decent pizza if you hunt. In this backwater little town in Northern Wisconsin I found a pretty good pie once. Here in Florida though, it all pretty much is vile.

In the big cities, you're more likley to find slate or brick ovens, which are really what you need to make a quality pie.
