Yeah, add a little garlic salt, a dash of olive oil, some fresh ground pepper right out of the grinder with that, and you’re golden. Throw in a slice of garlic bread, and you’ll feel guilty afterwards. LOL Works as good with angel hair, too.

“I must admit that I didn’t know that pizza was vilified.”

Probably vilified among the kind of woketards that FReepers don’t hang out with.

When I was in Italy some years ago I had an entirely cheeseless pizza on paper thin crust. I didn’t gain an ounce. All that extra cheese and crust was an adaptation to American preferences as the Italian immigrants started selling their pizza to the broader market. How fattening pizza is depends on whether you eat it like an Italian or an American.

I dunno, they out so much crap in there other than plain cheese and tomato sauce, it is unhealthy , imo. Pizza was definitely the PT killer for me in my military days. I could eat bacon and greasy burgers and be relatively fine, not so with pizza

“Also they are one of the few locally owned businesses that are open.”

Here on the western slope of the Rockies, even the very best pizza fails to summit the lofty slopes of mediocrity. Grading it F minus is inappropriately complimentary.

Domino’s is as good as any, and better than some.

When this Corona scam blows over, I may drive to the East Coast just to get some good pizza. Nothing else could drag me out there, tell you that for nothing.

Artisanal pizza made in a wood fired oven is completely different from fast food pizza the same way a porterhouse is different from Salisbury steak.

“The acid reflux not so much.”

Omeprazole works pretty well for me.

Forget about it!!

My friend Tony owns a number of pizzerias and Italian restaurants in Brooklyn and Queens.

Brick oven. Old school. Incredible.

Tony’s in Italy four times a year and lives and dies all things Italian EXCEPT that he, like me, are Very Proud Americans who vote conservative :)

Italy’s nice but it ain’t home.

Anyway, I go into the kitchen and watch them make the pies and it’s a thing of beauty.

I also go behind the bar and I eat and drink for free, which are other perks :)

Fast food pizza isn’t pizza...don’t know the word for it.

It can be tasty...but it ain’t real pizza.

“Baking Soda.”

Used to work for me, years ago. Not any more.

Wish I knew where they were. I might just drive out there for a few meals.

I tell people I won't go on a diet that won't allow me to have a pepperoni pizza.

If you think about it, that pretty much eliminates ALL diets.

A pizza place owned by someone named Tony?

That really narrows it down.

Pizza, regular, tastes like raw dough to me.

Prefer thin crust and charred.

A friend makes pizza using Lavash.

Luv it.

Little mazzorela, heirloom tomato, basil and truffle oil....OMG!

Char the lavash and Buen Provecho!!!
