Meh, it's just a fat chick. I was expecting much worse. Hell, I'Ve been more put off by some of Dixie's choice pics.
No, there is Chicago style Stuffed Crust, and then there is Chicago style pan pizza, and Chicago style thin crust. Chicago style thin crust mostly comes in squares and there is actual food on it. There is cheese, sauce, and actual toppings. Not that two dimensional shit New Yorkers eat that if you don't fold it and directly funnel all the grease into your mouth it gets all over your clothes. That shit is paper soaked in tomato sauce, with a paper thin slice of cheese and what I'm pretty sure is grated street rat in sausage or pepperoni form.
If I'm going to order a three thousand calorie wheel of grease, it better damn well have done substance to it. The stuff my buddy ordered in Chicago could stop small arms fire. It was awesome, best pizza I ever had. Dominoes and Papa Johns is for soulless emos. Why do you hate yourself as much as to pay money for garbage like that?
I can't help it, every time I see something like this: Spoiler What I really see is this: Spoiler Papa Johns is underwhelming. I agree that I wouldn't pay money for it, but if it is available at someone else's expense, I'll eat it. Domino's is pretty much the same EXCEPT their thin crust - which is cut into squares like the aforementioned Chicago thin crust. I always order it with pepperoni and mushroom and it is DIVINE.
Even in the South (well, where I live in VA and when I lived in NC) in small towns there's generally at least one local italian restaurant with decent pizza. I don't know why people order Dominos/Papa John/Pizza Hut instead.
Here, I'll bitch about my town's apparent pizza preference: Bottom's Up Pizza, which has been a favorite of locals for years. I had it once and was done with it forever. The toppings are overwhelming and the crust is insanely thick and chewy. Admittedly I'm no longer into pan pizza as I was when I was younger, but even then I don't think I would have liked this. You practically have to chisel it with a fucking jackhammer. Spoiler Instead, my local preference is Jo Jo's. So, so good, but only available downtown during work hours. If there was one near my home I would be big as my house. My sectional sofa would be classified as a chair.
Re: Re: Holiday Drunk Thread Because you can order it online and they deliver it, that's the only reason. Now that I've moved out of Charlotte into a smaller town I'll never order pizza from a chain again, I have 2 excellent pizza joints in town, they don't deliver but the town is small enough that it only takes me 5 minutes to go get it.
You know the kind of people Papa John's attracts... Something, something convenience, Flat Rate. Everyone thought he was a scientist when he said he'd be in his lab.
Right? Those mom & pop pizza places whoop the asses of that unpalatable corporate garbage. Payton Manning better have raked in cash for having to stoop so low. As a bonus, Papa Johns goes that "extra mile" to fuck over employees six ways from Sunday.
There are two pizza places near the University of Toronto campus, right next door to each other, and it is a defining moment in your schooling to determine which pizza place is better - Cora's or Papa Ceo's. To this day, my brother and I will come to blows over who has the better slice.
Meh too many places these days get too Crème fraîche with their pizzas. Sometimes I want homogenized corporate food with the employee abuse making up for the lack of taste.
