Pizza

[tommers]

I think it's nice that they make something together as a family and that it's been passed down from their grandmother. Like, that's a really nice thing and I'm glad for them.

But that is not a fucking pizza. They keep calling it a pizza. And then they talk about a "double crust pizza" , like that's an actual thing.

I can only imagine they're American.

Probably tasty in a dirty way, like a Ginsters slice, but I wouldn't make it myself. The ham looks to posh for the rest of the ingredients.

American “cheese”.

American “cheese”.

Exactly. It's got it's place, but I don't think it's there.

I once saw a recipe for Mac and cheese that just involved cooking some pasta then stirring in loads of slices of the stuff to melt it. Serve.

I probably would after a few beers.

Very sadly there are many things people would do after a few beers. If you can't do it sober, you should never do it.

We moved the tent! I may now have space for a pizza oven

I’d never have the courage to drive on motorways, then!

It's a cheese and ham toastie isn't it.

Pizza? Yes it is
All pizza is essentially cheese on toast

Or as the Eyeties like to call it, ‘calzone’

Well, it’s a flatbread. Pizza comes from the same root as pita.

When I was a student I use to put a bit of ham and mushroom on top of a pitta upon which I had put some chopped tomatoes and grated cheese, then bung it in the oven for a few minutes.

From Pizzeria Pellone which is now Mrs Tags best place for pizzas. From our return visit last night, two white pizzas.

I was going to say that in my case, particularly in my much younger days, that would include "speak to people' but actually you might have a point!

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

There's no viable alternatives to pizza anyway.

Not yet. I started with arancino, which wasnt so good.

Went for a lovely pizza yesterday at a newish place in this god-forsaken town. Was so good we forget to take photos for this thread, so you'll have to have a pic from their website



Yeasted, not sourdough, and a weird electric oven, cos they're in a residential area, but very nice. Mushroom/truffle white one and a Margherita, went halvesies.

I dont get that. I have been to many pizzerias in London which have wood fired ovens.

 

[Callie]

This was an interesting special...tom base, bresaola (cured beef), ricotta, walnuts and chives.

Not my favourite as the flavours weren't strong enough imo. I think they make the bresaola themselves

That's why London is a filthy hovel

The ducting, extraction and smoke scrubber unit required for wood-fired isn't easy or cheap in such a dense housing area, and the council, who have been fucking about with their licence already, wouldn't allow it. So they have an Izzo Napoletano, approved by the Neapolitan Pizza Association, apparently!

Turkish Pide is pretty good.

It promised good things.

Dean Martin was wrong, a pizza is not a pie, it has no lid.

That sex would appear to be fine.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I knew at least one of you would see no problem with this.

 

[strung out]

I would eat the hell out of that. Could do with some extra sweetcorn and pineapple too though.

Never been a fan of black olives - yuck!
