So I’m having a pizza craze so I’d thought I’d ask you fellow pizza enjoyers what your preferences are.
For the crust - I prefer this to be deep pan as I find it more filling and a hearty meal. stonebaked and thinner crusts are okay but if it’s too hard and crunchy and in the middle then I’m not a huge fan.
Stuffed crust? That shit is a luxury for me and is my 2nd fave.
Toppings - It’s either the classic reliable pepperoni pizza or you razzle dazzle ham, mushrooms and slice of pepper for me.
Chicken and sweetcorn is nice, but I’d have it with a BBQ base rather than a normal tomato base.
Cheese layer - Don’t really care, just don’t make it cheap wax
Frozen/Fresh - I enjoy Morrisons “Market” range of pizzas, you get a hearty and decent sized pizza for not a bad price.
Frozen? It’s either ALDI, Chicago and Icelands “NY” range for me as it does its job as a cheeky treat.
Fast food - Local pizzeria takeaways tbh, I like our local pizza takeaway who never, NEVER skimps out on the toppings. Absolute chad of a man I assure you.
So what are your preferences in these categories?
Pizza Napoletana (usually margherita DOP or marinara when at home.)
One of my local Neapolitan pizzerias makes a fantastic pizza melanzane too.
High quality ingredients, carefully selected; less is most definitely more!
Local pizza or homemade I get at least half a pie with jalapeno, onion, and anchovies if available, kalamata olives if not.
I do not have the stores you mention, so no recommendations on frozen, Target used to have good ones with buffalo mozzarella but that was years ago, I think they are discontinued. I do think if you can make a frozen pizza homemade is within your skill too. If you love pizza it’s great to learn to make it.
Good question and I have a hard time nailing it down to a single pizza.
For the pizza style it has to be either New York style or Detroit Style.
For toppings, it is either pepperoni and black olives, sliced meatball and banana peppers, or rarely since most places don’t make it this way, a buffalo chicken pizza with blue cheese (NOT ranch) instead of marinara and hot sauce.
detroit or new york, toppings negotiable on the day
“Recently” (a few months ago!..) tasted Tandoori Sauce 'za with Paneer. Loved it.
The rest was… Capsicum, and… Paprika, and… I guess Jalapeños; no Olives, I think - typical Indian vegetarian pizza (I’m Indian).
