Let's Talk Pizza

Now this is a real Pizza, Stop by Savastanos if you are in the Tulsa area

Looks more like tomato dumpling stew to me.

Not that there's anything wrong with that! ;)
 
Giordano's Pizza (in Chicago) has the best *Chicago Style* pizza - AND they'll send some right to your house - Wherever you live :)

^^+^^ Lived in Chicago in the early 90's, no question Giordano's was #1. Around here, it's the original Buddy's in Detroit.
 
Some is better then others. It's all good. NY style is best. For a chain operation "Papa Murphy's" can't be beat, and can stand up to a lot of so called "real pizza" places.
 
We just live in the next town over from Cherokee and I know what you are saying :(. Other than Paul's in Cherokee and the casino, we never eat at any of the local restaurants. We are pretty hard pressed in our town to find good restaurants. We have a pretty good Mexican and a pizza restaurant :) and that's about all. :mad: We go to Asheville to find good restaurants. :cool:

+1 on Pauls. Asheville or Waynesville for us. Bit of a ride from Macon County.
 
Pizza Hut is good for shingling roofs. Put it out in the winter and makes great insulation. As for NY vs Chicago, that's easy: New York by a mile. Whoever heard of pie with the sauce on top?!
 
A local chain in the ST Louis area called Imos (e moe's) sets the standard for pizza IMOO. All other is just stuff you eat to fill a hole.

Thin crust with a cheese called Provel is fantastic. As far as I know Provel is found only in STL but I could be wrong.
 
Favorite chain/delivery outfit? Pizza Hut.

Favorite non-chain? Matt's Hometown Pizza in Senoia, GA (the town that doubled as Woodbury in The Walking Dead).

Shingles? oh okay.

I use Pizza Hut as a laxative. When my kids wanted Pizza Hut I always told them ok but after that we go straight home, no mall hopping.
 
Growing up on Long Island I had favorite pizzerias from Smithtown to Ft. Hamilton in Brooklyn. Moving to South Carolina I thought my pizza loving days were over. Much to my surprise I found Tito's. He's a real pisan from Brooklyn. Uses Bari ovens, dough and cheeses just like thousands of N.Y. pizzerias. Excellent calzones, stromboli and on weekends has fresh cannolis. Just figured out what's for dinner tomorrow!
 
My favorite used to be Larry Dinolfo's in Dover, OH, when I could get there. Locally, I like Red's Savoy, Carbone's, and the Broadway. Domino's has been beneath consideration for decades, Pizza Hut for almost as long. There used to be a local chain called Shakey's that had a really good super-thin crust.

I would be remiss if I did not mention Beau Jo's, in Colorado's Front Range. The chain was founded by a cousin. He has his flagship store in Idaho Springs. It is really good pizza.
 
Broadway pizza was the best in town at the old Broadway bar in North Mpls; the recipe was started by a man named Spallaci (?) who later moved to 25 & Hennepin. It was still pretty good when it moved to the river road but has since been sold to an out of town group; I think the Robbinsdale store still uses the original recipe.

I grew up liking Mac's Minnetonka Pizza, Beeks, while attending the U of M it was Stefano's (a deep dish) but I prefer a thin crust.
 
Provel is a processed cheese product. A combo of cheddar, Swiss, and provolone. Also oils, salt, whey, and emulsifiers.
Like Velveeta. So it's not cheese, it's a cheese like product.
That doesn't mean it doesn't taste good. :D
