Here in DFW we have iFratelli Pizza, a single restaurant location with a network of delivery outlets. Their moniker is "Never Trust a Round Pizza!"
Ping!

Either shape will do just fine. The key is always flavor and texture. I want the crust to be chewable without being like bubble gum. I want the toppings to have flavor without being overly spiced up. I’m somewhat lactose intolerant, so I have to rock the boat by asking for ‘very little cheese’, which always gets me funny looks.
I want the toppings to have enough tomato sauce to stay in place as I eat it. I’m open to Polish Sausage, Canadian Bacon or even Bob Evans Sausage instead of Pepperoni. Sometimes Pepperoni is very salty, slick in texture and as tough as beef jerky. Not a good thing.
It seems like no big deal, until someone comes along with the square hamburger. We’ll be drinking out of square glasses, with square straws, and paying with square money (although we do that anyway). It’s a slippery slope that could eventually lead to genetically engineered cows, chickens, apples, and tomatoes—all square. There are reasons why things are round, and not just because they roll easier. But that’s one.
what next, square tires?
does square pizza taste better than round pizza?
L7, daddio.
I’ve never EVER heard of Sicilian pizza as a “squire’ pie.
Maybe somewhere out west.
My mother when she was still able to made the BEST Sicilian home made pizza and cavetelli in the world.
Grandma used to grate slightly stale pizza for hours to make the breadcrumbs for the meatballs.
“Square” pizza.
Who writes this stuff?
FOCACCIA..If you’re gonna eat Sicilian pizza, put the ###ing cheese on it. Never had a use for focaccia.
Unless I was starving and it was all that was around.
I don’t think so. I prefer the NYC “regular”, ROUND pizza and the first pizza ever had, was in Pa. and it was SQUARE. And that was long before these “hipsters’” parents were out of diapers...or perhaps even born.
And "CHICAGO PIZZA" not only stinks, but is about as "ITALIAN", as chow mein is authentic Chinese food.
lol!
Tomato farmers got genetically-modified SQUARE tomatoes because they can pack more of them in a shipping box
unforunuately they also lost any taste
so now we “progress” from square tomaters to square pizzas?
is this really progress???
PLEASE tell me you know about Sicilian pizza being square forever.
If not, you REALLY SHOULDN’T be posting to this thread.
Sorry.
