dp0622 :" I’ve never EVER heard of Sicilian pizza as a “squire’ pie.
Maybe somewhere out west."

Milford, Penna.- Deep Dish Sicilian (square)
75 minutes West of NYC, right across the river from Port Jervis , NY

Square hamburger? Wendy’s. Bun is still round.

Thanks for the molto yummy ping.

The first pizza place in my neighborhood - and my introduction to pizza as a kid - was a family-run carryout, and the pizza was always rectangular. I’ve never had such a good pizza since, but I don’t think it was the shape ;-)

They made great meatballs, too.

Youngsters will not remember, but in the 70’s during the era of the Pet Rock, there was a thing called the Square Egg. It was like a tiny grape press on a tiny Lucite box, iirc, and you put a hard boiled egg into it.

I only bring this up because I sense a comeback.

Bubble gum crust, yuck! iFratelli has a flat, somewhat cracker-like crust. We have some artisan pizzerias that claim to be certified by Italy, lol, but they are poncy and pricey. Personally I enjoy Target's frozen pizza line that IS made in Italy. Quite good (and cheap) if you add a few toppings/seasonings you like.

Ledo Pizza was square when square was, well, square.

In New York, you eat Brooklyn-style pizza.

Big slice you fold over to eat on the run.

we have a couple local pizza joints that do a good job...
but for a major brand... we think Round Table is still the best pizzas (very expensive nowadays, really NOT worth it.... tho you can usually get a couple dineros discount by checking at their website for coupons)

[Jamestown1630]

I hadn’t heard of Round Table. We don’t have them in the East.

I guess here, the Ledo’s pizza is one of the best.

What about "Pizza in a Cup"?

[faithhopecharity]

once i was in the costco checkout line and a costco lady came up and asked if we’d like some pizza and we said sure (figuring she was gonna give us a “free sample” slice) and she put an entire meter-wide super-sized pizza in our cart, ha!

costco pizzas are OK but not spectacular except that their price is excellent, a bargain for what you get.
(the best things at costco are their wonderful $1.49 hotdogs at the snack bar and you can still get saurkraut too just ask is all) and their huge delicious $4.99 rotisserie chickens..both items the very best quality in town by far AND super cheap too...both features together .... but the pizzas are ok except be careful if you buy a frozen one to cook at home because it won’t fit in our oven we have to chop it up first, ha!)

Now this is the real #pizzagate...

It seems like no big deal, until someone comes along with the square hamburger.

They have been around since 1921.

I’ll have a slice of the Noriega

I have one of those, purchased solely to impress and make a conversation piece in a dish for a party. Haven’t used it yet for a party yet, but it works! You have to put the boiled egg in while it’s still warm, and then chill it for awhile. Comes out square :-)
