Jesus, I ate way too much Cora's back in my school days. I've had both Chicago deep dish and NY pizza and I'll take NY any day. Chicago deep dish is what happens when somebody makes a satirical statement and people take it seriously.
Re: Re: Holiday Drunk Thread I went to a small college first. Near campus, there was Domino's that delivered, and there was another local place that delivered. The guy that owned the local place (let's call him Richard) just added "inos" to the name - Richardinos - and whatever special Domino's ran, he would just do everything for like $0.25 less. It was hilarious. The pizza was terrible, but it was cheap and delivered for free. Good times. Unrelated: I have a question. If you embezzled $21 million dollars, do you think you could successfully disappear? There was a dude that was in charge of a local bank not too far from here who defrauded investors for about that. He faked his own death following a "suicide" note, was declared dead by the State of Florida, but the FBI continued to investigate. He managed to be "gone" for 18 months before being arrested earlier this week after being pulled over on I-95 for having window tint too dark. The traffic stop was about an hour from where he used to live. An hour. I think I could get farther away with $21 million dollars.
In second year university, my roommates and I were stalked by a guy from Domino's. That place (and its employees) are shit.
For the record, Chicago thincrust pizza looks like this. Spoiler Spoiler And its better than that New York shit. Stuffed Crust (different than deep dish, but the latter is used to describe the former) is an entirely different animal. Its still fucking delicious. But that ^ is better than the New York shit. You don't fold that shit, you pick it up and eat it like a goddamn American. It's not a taco. But that shit right there? THAT SHIT RIGHT THERE? That shit has substance, it actually has sauce on it, actually has cheese that actually has some weight, there is dough, it has weight. It has motherfucking gravity and that shit is DELICIOUS. This shit is all floppy. Look at this sorry paper thin shit. In the second one, you can see the grease seep into the paper. Also, I didn't have to dig for these photos. "New York Style pizza" is all I googled and boom. This nasty shit. Spoiler Spoiler
Oh man, I can't wait until Audrey gets home. Parker, she is going to knock that drink out of your hand and go all New Yorker on you. I might have to wake up cousin Leroy for this.
It doesn't surprise me since their founder was a guy who liked to spend his spare time bribing schools to teach intelligent design and shaking jars with fetuses in them at pregnant teenagers.
Screw all of you. I'm dreading my bland and terrible dinner now that you folks have been posting pizza goodness nonstop.
Or you could order a pizza. Also, this is an article that has been around the internet, but it has been updated. "6 Harsh Truths That Will Make You a Better Person." I think reading this and reading The Last Psychiatrist article that's linked is super interesting.
First chance I've had to login here on anything besides my phone since the move. And you bastards are posting pictures of pizza. I've lost ten lbs since I moved. I'm fucking starving now. Merry Christmas/Festivus/whateveryoucelebrate and Happy New Year to all of you. It may sound weird, I haven't had the opportunity to post here like I used to, or nearly as much as I read, but I really like most of you guys and look forward to seeing what's going on in your worlds.
I have yet to find a place in Germany where they don't put regular old salami on pizza instead of actual pepperoni. You'd think such a thing wouldn't be such a big deal since pepperoni is a form of salami, but it's just not the same. But other than that, the pizza here is pretty good.
Good pizza is very hard to come by in Los Angeles, but after living here for about 3.5 years, I have just recently discovered a place that gets the NY style correct. They make one called "The Garibaldi" which is cheese, homemade meatballs, jalapenos, and tomato. It is the perfect pizza. The only downside is that it costs about $30 for a single pie. Oh, and hello. This is my first post. Seems like you folks could use some new blood 'round here.
Atlanta has a lot of great restaurants, but no good pizza joints that I have found. Mellow Mushroom is the best that I have had here. There are a couple of places that have "real Italian" pizza that people rave about, but it is just not my thing. I want some good New York style.
Welcome!! I was there for vacation in August. I remember one night when we were in Hollywood and ordered a pizza delivered to the hotel. Just a simple pepperoni. Holy crap it was awful. We ate it because we were starving, but bleah. The only thing I remember clearly was that the pepperoni was floppy and not at all crisp around the edges. Bastards. Then later in the week we were somewhere else (Huntington Beach?) and discovered a place called Z Pizza. It had a very interesting variety of specialties and I enjoyed it. I found out there is one in Williamsburg, so I plan to try it again some time.
Yeah, Z Pizza is a national chain - one which I have never tried. But Vito's... man, Vito is just one of a kind. I mean just look at this guy, he is pizza incarnate (spoilered for size): Spoiler
