Pizza

[ShiftyBagLady]

Everything in your post is wrong.

Pfft.

I imagine a decent base is done with passata, onions, garlic, oregano, olive oil and anchovies. Blitzed in a blender. Is that about right?

Really good pizza twice this week - life doesn't get much better than this.

No that would be the sauce, the base is the bready stuff.

I just use garlic fried in a bit of oil and tinned tomatoes, salt and pepper for the sauce. Simple is the way to go with pizza.

I've got sourdough proving in the fridge.

After discussions with a lass from Naples, I've started using just crushed tomatoes for the sauce.

Doesn't get much simpler than that, I'll give it a go if I can get to the market on Saturday.

Fresh tomatoes you crush up yourself, or chopped tinned tomatoes?

 

[killer b]

in the summer I'll use fresh, but atm I'm using tinned - I drain all the juice off first, and leave them on some kitchen roll in a colander to get rid of any excess liquid once they're crushed.

Much the same, I just add a crushed garlic clove and 1 basil leaf and 1/2 tsp balsamic.
I heat it up to mix the flavours.

FWIW if I'm going to used dried herbs on the pizza, they go in with the tomatoey bit as that stops them burning up.

Just ordered a delivery from Papa John's pizza. Don't think I've had a PJ pizza - any good?

How was it? twentythreedom

I have only had one Papa John's order and was sadly underwhelmed by it

It was pretty good tbh. It was my first ever Papa John's. Definitely better than Domino's etc. I would gladly have another

ETA I had a large, thin crust veggie

 

[strung out]

I've just ordered a Dominos. Not even that hungry, I just read this thread and got a craving.

Dominos is horrible though, don't Pizza Go Go deliver to you?

This thread made me so hungry have just ordered a pizza (the 'Pizza del Cheff' pepperoni, peppers and black olives), garlic bread and wedges from my local (which is so good!). Plus I got a fiver off cos they forgot to bring the spicy wedges last time...

Don't do it. They keep rewarding with more pizza until you end up shoving it in the freezer and craving salad.

Courgette, chilli, lemon, feta, mozzarella, mint.

Courgette, chilli, lemon, feta, mozzarella, mint.

That looks excellent! Washed down with a few nice beers...heaven.

Want to big up a Pizza joint close to my work. Sodo in Upper Clapton road does sourdough pizzas and I can honestly say the best pizza ever....

 

[DieselBar]

@Yardsalepizza are opening today in lower Clapton and giving away 50 pizzas a day for 6 days from 5pm (need to show them the facebook post), pity I will probably be too late to get one, they look real good with that char on them

I had a Papa John's pizza last night. It was good

 

[wtfftw]

ah fuckin hell. I want that pizza. Are grand union pizzas any good?
Dinner with a mate tonight and she fancies a burger so I was considering honest burgers (ShiftyBagLady ) I'm crossthreading. but tbh, I'm meat-ed out after some Texas Joe's fest but Grand Union can burger her and pizza me....

except I don't see olives on the menu and pizza without olives is almost pointless (imo etc).

I ate a burger in Grand Union once and found it a bit meh, not tried the pizza.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

You could, surely, make room for one of those burgers. Have you seen their website by the way? the burgers look amazing on there.
I really want to try a Tribute... *salivates*

 

[wtfftw]

Perhaps I should relocate to the burger thread.
