Not a fan of pepperoni, sausage, onions, anchovies, etc…

I taught a yeast breads class years ago in NY which was several hours long…and we would make pizzas for our lunch break while waiting for the other dough recipes to proof/rise/etc. Good times

If I’m feeling lazy, or just want someone else to make it for me for a change , I thankfully have an authentic Neapolitan place that is just 5 minutes away…they have the VPN certification as well

I use to buy 00 Caputo but the price up here has got out of hand about twice the cost of regular flour. Luckily our AP flour has a high protein of 12% and bread flour almost 13%. Buffalo Mozza and Basil impossible to find in the sticks. Dried Basil taste disgusting and I'll never use it.
San Marzano are pretty much standard but after watching a lot of videos on comparisons I've started trying others again at half the price ($3 compared to $6) here.

Looks awesome but unless I'm cutting up bread to put on top of a stew I just don't enjoy such hard crusts. I prefer a softer crust.

Crust wasn't hard, egg wash darkened it up a bit but not hard.

I gotta tell yawl the truth…

I’ve never met a pizza that I didn’t like.

[Unsuspicious]

I've never had a good taco pizza

Yup, not even served on a pan anymore. Apparently the only reason it's called a pan pizza these days is so they can charge more. Ta hell with that.

Other - hand tossed. Pepperoni, Italian sausage, plenty of cheese and sauce.

The sauce makes the pizza...you have shit sauce...you have shit pizza....you have good sauce ...you got a great pizza pie. I could eat thick style dough but prefer thin...as long it isn't to thin

Admittedly, I have some fond memories of those old 80s-90s PH pan pizzas also…back when they took like 30-45 minutes to come out to the table

San Marzano Tomatoes make the best sauce, no doubt. That's all I use for my Pizza sauce..

Damn, it must be 10 years ago...

Eddie & Sams at Downtown.. Good Pizza but I like Grimaldi's Pizza better..
Crust at Grimaldi's is crispier and thinner than Eddie & Sam's. Eddie & Sam's make good Pizza, just not as good as Grimaldi's. Grimaldi's is the same Grimaldi's that is right in front of the Brooklyn bridge in NYC.

in the order of importance for me

1) Thin, no flop crust, well done
2) sauce
3) cheese

It's all about the crust and the cheese.. Any decent Mozzarella works fine BUT the best Mozzarella for Pizza is WHOLE MILK Mozzarella.

I make my own sauce for pizza and spaghetti, but also let it sit in the jars for a few months with fresh, uncooked, unheated basil in them. roma 'maters work just fine, too.

I like pizza like my women, thin and sizzling.

Never tried ROMA tomatoes for Pizza.. Will give them a try to see how it tastes compared to San Marzano. Would save a bunch of money if they are just as good as San Marzano tomatoes are quite pricey.

I am IN!!!!

Anyone who thinks "Chicago-style pizza" is actually pizza, needs to figure some life-shit out. It's kind of like folks who think "Pizza Hut" serves pizza, they don't. It's just a salty, greasy, sloppy mess, that if you are at the appropriate level of drunkeness at the time it is consumed, tastes OK. But is DEFINITELY NOT PIZZA!
