Pizza reviews thread

Inspired by a conversation with Beemoh and Andyman949...

Restaurant? Supermarket pizza? Homemade pizza? Italian Style Pizza? American Style Pizza? Let us know below! I'm about to eat a pizza this evening, so I'll report back. But otherwise I don't have a general preference for American style or Italian pizza, but it more depends on a case-by-case basis. I'm not a huge fan of deep pan, though, I prefer the dough base to be more crisp and thin, and sort of sink down when you hold it up. Mm.

Well seeing Turkish make the pizza I get delivered I'm not sure what style it is, would guess American but I'm boring normally just have Hawaiian from there. Now again have dominos if at a magic event & we order about 10 pizzas, so try a bit or everything.

I rarely have pizzas at home as they don't taste right.

There's an Italian restaurant in Glastonbury called Gigi's. Best pizza in the world.
Interestingly, the pizza in Italy isn't actually that great.

New York is meant to have good pizza right, I guess from all those Italian Americans there.

Chicago's where it's at for pizza my man.

I'm not too fussy when it comes to pizza (though ham & pineapple can fuck right off!) but I do love the ones you can get made up fresh in Asda.

Stuart from the film threesome has it right though with this: "Sex is kinda like pizza. When it's bad, it's still pretty good"

Jo and I had a good run with Domino's - we called it off after realising the hideous expense attached to it. Now it's Dr. Oetker from the supermarket, which is fine enough. I get the Spinach one (and put tuna on top, for I am strange) and Jo has the Mozzarella one.

Domino's turns my stomach. Pizza Express or bust.

I do enjoy the slightly thicker pizza hut style of pizza from time to time, and I order Domino's expecting some of that, but it doesn't deliver. It just has a funny aftertaste or something, I can't explain it. Same with Ask Italian.

Pizza Express is good, but normally a proper independent Italian is where it's at. In fact, I think i'mma order a pizza tonight.

That Stewart video is brilliant and totally agree.

Yeah the deli counter at work with the pizzas does great business.

There seems to be a lot of ham & pineapple hate don't know why but I guess in Scotland it has fruit on it which is weird for you to have also do deep fry your pizza's

I've never got along with ham and pineapple. I wouldn't chop up a banana and stick it on my bolognese, would I?
The stewart bit was great, I haven't watched daily show in ages. And to be honest, my knowledge of the NY/ Chicago rivalry comes from HIMYM.

Down here my only option is either Domino's or Pizza hut and well I prefer Domino's over Pizza hut as the last time I had hut it was terrible and haven't been game enough to go back

It has nothing to do with being Scottish, I love fruit it just doesn't belong anywhere near a pizza & I've never had a deep fried one either as it sounds disgusting.

I've just has a pizza hut because of their £6 pizza offer and it was delicious. Pizza Hut are awesome.

I was joking about the deep fried pizza but.

Tomatoes.

I thought someone might say that, when I said fruit I meant the obvious pineapple.

And Tomatoes are just wrong in the first place anywhere

I'm going to pretend I didn't see that.

Anyway, I'm another one who likes pineapple. The sweet-and-sour tang riffs wonderfully off the rest of the pizza. Oddly, though, I can't be doing with ham.

A few nights ago Jo and I tried Papa John's, after discovering that one had opened up nearby on the drive to the airport. I wasn't convinced: the garlic sauce they provided was vile and the taste just not as good as Domino's.

Isn't their garlic dip actually garlic butter? I recall it being absolutely disgusting.

I've not experienced garlic butter enough to know the difference, but I can confirm it is absolutely disgusting!

Anyone had those Chicago town pizza melts? I really like them despite not being too fond of crispy bun type snacks.

Had one of these last night:



Not recommended, to be honest. It was all a bit too messy and not tasty enough to warrant the mess. Their haggis pizzas though - bang on.

haggis pizza?
