Pizza

[Chz]

So I'm quite enjoying these at the moment. Obviously not as good as straight from a wood fired oven, but not bad for frozen, especially as they are only £2.29!

Is that the Iceland one? There are a number of "Stone-baked, made in Italy" ones in various supermarkets with different boxes now. They all seem to come from the same factory, but I wouldn't complain because they're all really quite good for the price. Almost as nice as the Crosta & Mollica ones that are nearly twice as dear.

Is it bad that I spend so much in Aldi that I just assume everyone else will know the packaging?

We don't have any Aldi within easy reach, I've been to one once, for something particular

6 or 7 Lidl branches easily reached by bus though

Lidl is closer than Aldi, so I tend to stick with that. Though I also have the perception that Aldi steadfastly refuses to change for local tastes and still looks like it did 20 years ago, while Lidl has adapted somewhat. Which means Lidl triggers my OCD a little bit less than Aldi does. It's not quite the same jumbled mess, though obviously more chaotic than Waitrose.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Maybe it's familiarity? I know all the Aldi stuff really well, and their stores normally have a similar layout. I tend to avoid Lidl as I always seem to end up waiting far longer then Aldi. Fewer checkout open and when a huge line forms, they don't seem to be in a rush to open more.

Getting back on track, from the best pizza chef, in the world. Probably.

A visit to crust brothers in the prince at Earls Court. The beer was all fizz and this time there were just about 8 pizzas on the menu. Still good though.

Burrata makes me uncomfortable. The oozy middle. It’s upsetting. It triggers a disgust response in me, a bit like a cross between trypophobia and a gag reflex.

I once met the bloke who invented cheesy stuffed crust pizza for Pizza Hut. he didn't feel good about it to be fair

We couldn't do pizza on Friday as I was working, so, pizza today @cinquento in Chelsea. Not expensive and very good

 

[Silas Loom]

No pics, but I had one with speck, nduja, anchovies and spinach today in the Ally Pally pizzeria, and it was a corker.

Meat and fish together

All pizzas with pig should also have anchovies. Probably olives, as well. Salt is healthy.

I'd sooner have pineapple than anchovies

Weirdo. And you’re in charge of the pizza thread?

Maybe and definitely not, it is a totally democratic thread started by someone else. I possibly eat more pizza than most though.

There's help out there.

"Out there". Tim Peake went out there and back and still likes pineapple on his pizza.

Pineapple on pizza is fucking magnificent. All the dissenting voices on this are food snobs or disingenuous, at least.

Damn right. Mrs SFM thinks it’s sacrilege so I put on twice as much as I was going to originally just to piss her off.

Admittedly not the greatest of pizzas, though it was good. The cheese was gorgonzola. It was served in one of our all time favourites Italians, Albertini's.

Not one of your better looking offerings.
But it probably tasted better than it looked.

I used to be anti. Then I tried one with pineapple, capers and chilis. It was fab. They really work well together.

Got a flyer from those inedible pizza floggers, Dominos. It went straight into the recycling but not before I noticed they’re selling lasagne and carbonara pizzas. FFS! Papa Italia must be turning in his grave

Looks to me like the cheese to other components ratio might be a bit high for a traditional Italian style pizza offering, and I'd find a lot of gorgonzola a bit too much

 

[UrbaneFox]

I've just had a cracking good pizza, courtesy of deliveroo, with 2 bottles of beer and some ice cream still in the freezer.

I thought about this thread mid scoff, so no photo, sorry. I was in a hurry to shovel it down. It's been one of those days.

I can show you the empty box if that would help?

I love a few blobs of gorgonzola scattered across the mozzarella of a regular pizza, but the whole thing? Bleargh.

Wondering what danny la rouge will make of this. Yesterday we went to Safari's in Haywards Heath. A small independent with a wood fired oven. The staff were great, it had a wood fired pizza oven and sold my favourite wine by the glass, Bolney Bacchus. Top marks.
This was chorizo with goats cheese and spicey honey.


This was my desert, cholocale calzone. It was the pizza version of a proffitero roll.
