A tale of 2 larges

When I worked at one of the local pizza places we would experiment with various pizza bases. Pesto and ranch dressing were actually on the menu, but one of the cooks actually made a Thai pizza sauce that was delectable.
 
My college town had the shittiest pizza place. The pies there were swimming in sauce. It was like a flat, cheese covered soup. To get a decent pie, I told them to leave the sauce off my veggie supreme, and put it in a bowl.... I need to find a new pizza place that will do that for me.
 
The greatest place for Pizza in the entire world is a joint in my hometown of Corner Brook, Newfoundland, called Louis-Gee's pizza. It is seriously the most delicious pizza I have ever tasted. The guy who owns it, Bashir, is awesome too.

In fact ... I wrote a poem for him, about myself and some of my friends who were sitting around one night longing for his pizza. I'm not kidding, either. We sat around, and just lamented that it was 10 hours down the highway, and it had been so long since our last visit.

A Brotherhood of Pizza Pilgrims
There is a brotherhood, born from out a shrine:
I know their heavy burden, for it's the same as mine.
The Lebanese man once offered to show us a new mass,
And pilgrimage was started, when the Eucharist was past.
To partake of his pizza, to eat just one donair!
Unassuming men knew not what would be found there.

With a single bite, the first footfall will strike the dust,
And to stray is then impossible: in Louis-Gee's we trust.
A challenge, it is, to live your lives outside that noble place,
A task to humble any man, and mark hardship on his face.
We pilgrims all live with eternal hope of occasional reunion
With that shrine, that pastor, and that glorious communion.

But now we hear of a brother, in a land so far away.
There, there is no pilgrimage! So tonight we all will pray
That the donair sauce and meat still be blessed all through!
That the vegetables be mighty, because there are so few.
Raise your pitabread chalice in remembrance of his name.
Brother: Keep eyes on the future, when you will partake again.
 
There is a good pizza place here with a name I can never remember. I actually think it MAY be called Mario's, as much as that is uninventive. Anyway, a large pepperoni pizza there is just over $6 after tax (Used to be $5 on the nose up till last year). And yet we normally wind up paying twice that at Gino's just because its closer.
Still, I haven't actually experienced truly..... inspiring pizza other than my dad's homemade stuff.
What about a Poutine Pizza? YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH


Is there anything one CAN'T add gravy too?

My roommates and I went to Wild Wings after the Zombie Walk this year, and my friend got a plate of poutine chicken wings. They were DELICIOUS.
 
I'm of the opinion that the more animals that die for my pizza, the better.

As for Deep vs. Flat- I don't care. Sometimes I want flat, sometimes I want deep. All the pizza in this thread made me hungry.

Edit: <HURK!> Well, except for that gravy pizza that suddenly appeared.

I would rather look at images of those abscess things mentioned in the rant thread than that disgusting gravy covered pizza.

Hmm... as far as I know, there's no Papa John's in Finland. There's a Finnish pizza chain called Kotipizza ('Home Pizza') that actually won a prize for its reindeer meat pizza - which was named Berlusconi after the fucktard Italian Prime Minister who badmouthed Finnish cuisine. In yo' face, pencil cazzo!

If I want a quick pizza, I go for a €5 special at the pizza/kebab place: usually pepperoni.

If I'm downtown, I sometimes pop by at Rosso, a quasi-Italian family style restaurant for the best (and only) deepdish in town.

I make some totally wacky pizzas. But I will never sully them with gravy. :humph:
What about cream gravy? Mmm, eggs, bacon, sausage, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, cream gravy, cheddar and colby-jack on a whole wheat crust. Yum!
 
This thread makes me hunger for good pizza. Sadly being in Atlantic Canada, the best pizza I am going to find comes frozen from the supermarket.

I ... have no idea why you would say that. Where are you living that you can't order good pizza? There's some pretty damn good pizza a five minute walk away from me right now, and I basically live in the North Atlantic.

I should get to work on Newfoundland regional pizza. Seal meat pizza? Aww yeaah.

Also, I would eat that Poutine Pizza, SeriousJay. I can't say whether I would expect it to be good, but I would give it a chance.

Unless you are making it from scratch, you cannot get a good pizza in Atlantic Canada. Everyone around may swear up and down that it is good, but this is only because they have never tasted good pizza. The best pizza you will get on the east coast is from a Pizza Pizza kiosk in the QEII Hospital. And the only reason it's the best is because it's a franchise from Ontario, and the only reason Ontario has decent pizza is their proximity and access to New Yorkers, who have heavily influenced the Ontario pizzarias.

The only response to eating Atlantic Canada pizza after having eaten good pizza from New York is; "What the fuck is this shit!?"
 
/shrug. You must have much more discerning taste than I, if New York Pizza is the acid test and I still like the shit I find around town.
 
I haven't had the chance to sample Ny pizza from Queens, but I've sampled a few hole-in-the-wall establishments in Manhattan that just knocked my socks off.

IIRC one such shop had a letter on the wall from some grateful servicemen. Seems they filled a large order to Iraq during the first Gulf War.
 
A conversation with my roommate:
"Hey, poutine pizza, what do you think?"
"YES."
"See, that's what I thought, but everyone on halforums seems to think its disgusting."
"Well, they're Americans, mostly, right?"
"Just come here and look at this pizza"
"Oh my God I thought this was hypothetical pizza. This is- OH MY GOD IT LOOKS LIKE NICE THICK SKI LODGE PIZZA TOO. That looks amazing"
Perhaps there is truth to the stereotype that we like gravy on everything.

2 slice of that poutine pizza and my favorite nutella queue de castor and I'm one happy man.

I haven't tried this magnificent sounding poutine pizza, but hot DAMN am I on board. However, I cannot agree with nutella on anything.

Sorry North, there's only one place in Europe that has good pizza:



Every other country I've been to has really, really shitty pizza.
 
Man I had the most amazing pizza in one of those little church-cities in Italy. I wish I could remember the name of the city.

Otherwise the best you can get out here in Atlanta is Felini's or Mellow Mushroom. Both are good, it just depends on how much you want to spend and wether you want a whole pizza or one big old slice.
