I just think a pizza should try to remain at least partially true to its Italian heritage.

I recall those being fairly tasty, but nobody in their right mind would call them pizza.

Bosk nailed it with the Hawaiian pizza thing. Put whatever you want on your pizza. I don't care. Don't much care for it myself, though. Where I draw the line is replacing tomato sauce with any other sauce. At that point it stops being a pizza and I throw the blasphemy card. Afredo and barbecue sauces change it from pizza to, I dunno, some sort of weird pie thing. Sometimes it's perfectly tasty, but it's not pizza.

I'm with you - my previous posts notwithstanding - on sauces.  Even the chicken BBQ I made had a red sauce underneath.

Having said that:  what about "white pies"?   The aforementioned New Haven pizza is notorious for their "white clam" pies; clams, olive oil, garlic, and some green (basil, parsley, oregano).   It's REALLY good, and it's more pizza than the sham things we're alluding to above.

Oh, and cheesecake is the dessert of kings.  I even make my own (that I LOVE, though the sauces are hard to do with any integrity).

Italy obviously!

Why there are 5 pages of thread when the correct answer was already given after 4-5 replies?

I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

Sounds tasty. I wouldn't call it pizza, though.

Well it's called a Mexican Pizza at Taco Bell.  It's not Italian pizza, but personally I don't see anything completely wrong with using the word pizza to describe it though.  That's just me.

Yea I remember at Pepe's this was the specialty pie, but clams were not something I was interested in that moment so we went with a plain pizza.  I do however, LOVE white pies with the ricotta instead of tomato sauce.   You can throw broccoli and tomato on there as well.

A pizza doesn't have two crusts. If Taco Bell removes the top crust to call it a pizza then it's merely a tostada. As it stands now it's closer to a gordito as made by the local joints.

Who are we bullshitting?  We all know the best pizza.

Sorry, didn't know I had a case before me. Love pesto. Make a pizza like dish out of it and I'll eat the hell out of it. It's not a pizza, though.

Every public school I ever went to. And the analogy is quite sound.

Personally, I dug their pizza. That and the chimichangas were the best thing about the DISD.

I always loved the pizza at grade/high school, and it looked similar.  I mean, it was shit pizza, but I enjoyed it a lot as a kid.

Hawaiian pizza isn't amazing, but it has its place. I actually prefer a pepperoni and pineapple combination myself. But I only occasionally go the pineapple route.

I worked at Pizza Hut, so I can at least tell you it's well made stuff.


I did too.  I used to make interesting personal pizzas, like pepperoni and pineapple!

LOL at school pizza.  I'd say Little Caesar's is a step above that in the low spectrum, but is still pretty bad.

Don't knock it until you've tried it. A good pesto and sausage pie is a thing of beauty.


I've never had Hawaiian pizza because it just doesn't really interest me, though I don't really look down on it at all. My sister went through a phase where she would dip her pizza in ranch dressing, and that just about gave me involuntary rage twitches.

Do you want to try my load on your pizza? I'll try the pesto if you try that. Don't knock it until you try it.  :biggrin:

Pesto has a unique taste to it, but I can't see it replacing tomato sauce on pizza. Just my opinion.

I used to get pizza and wings from this local place that since closed down and I would always dip my crust in the left over ranch dressing. Their seasoned crust was perfect for dipping.

At Penn State there was a dollar pizza joint for all the drunk students to hit up, literally would have a line down the street of drunk students on a weekend.  But they always had ranch dressing for free and that was my first experience dipping slices into ranch.  It's not bad.  Granted, I don't do this normally, but on a cheap slice that's more doughy, it's not bad at all.  I got a baked ziti pie today.  This was really really good and well made, unlike my pizza from the other night.

When it comes to frozen pizza, I'm fine with a Jack's pizza. I like to make them and put them in the fridge and eat them later on.

I used to eat frozen pizza, but every so often I'd feel a slap on the face, probably from my strega great-grandmother, so I stopped.

Is this equivalent to Catholic/Jewish guilt? Except this one is an Italian Grandmother. That would scare me more than the other two guilts.
