“and if I croak with my face in a plate of barbequed ribs, at least I won’t die a tofu-squirting pansy”

LOL, that’s funny (and right on).

Never had one. Just did a search for nearest store. Not one within 50 miles. Have never, ever seen one of their stores anywhere. (And I have actually been 500 miles from tiny town in the last few years.)

I can’t believe it isn’t good! Peyton Manning likes it! I like Peyton Manning! He is the quarterback of one of my local teams! (Both of my local teams are based 300 miles away!) I live almost exactly halfway between KC and Denver.

Poor Peyton had a tough night yesterday!

I tried a Pappa John’s last summer, it taste crappy.

Domino’s is definitely better.

It’s been four years since I’ve ordered a pizza. Six or seven years ago Domino’s gave me unbelievably bad service, with lies from the manager to boot, 4 years ago I had a bad experience with Pizza Hut, and I haven’t yet built up the curiosity to warrant a visit to Papa Johns.

I used to love pizza, I actually don’t have a taste for it anymore because of the way the establishments treated me. Perhaps I should thank them.

Then you should know better. Don’t be a ha8t3r.

The Chicago-style pizza boosters are the ones who started claiming supremacy early in this thread. I have had plenty of Chicago pizza of all types, and don't appreciate being told that I have to try it when I have had more than many Chicagoans. I am just setting the record straight.



You’re pikers with a weak, sissified copy of the original. The first pizzeria was opened in the Chicago Loop in the late 19th century.

Who's the hater? I didn't call anyone a piker. I pretty much attacked the pizza. It is okay to virulently defend one kind of pizza against another.

By the way, if you have some good background information on this 19th century Chicago pizza that disappeared for 50 years, you should update Wikipedia, as they have it first being created in Little Italy, New York City.

1rudeboy, who is a defender of Chicago style pizza, courteously accepted my recommendation to try the New Haven style pizza at Piece Pizza on North Avenue. I recommend you do the same, and then we can just accept that we have different tastes, and different conceptions of pizza.

Apparently this author is a big lib. She makes appearances on “Democracy Now!” and is a NY Times reporter.

Odd how so many 'early posters' on a thread miss that ... not just this tread - but many.

It is okay to virulently defend one kind of pizza against another.

I wasn't taught that knowledge and now that I know the rule, I am OK with it.

Let's just say we have different tastes and stop fighting, Okay?

What time/date are we meeting at Piece for pizza?

Thanks!

Having been born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, I know precisely of what you speak! Chicagoland has the best pizza-bakers in the world!

Here in Florida the pizzas are ghastly....and horribly seasoned, probably because most of the private-pizza parlor purveyors are taste-deaf transplants from New York city.

And, as far as the big-chain pizza stores go, they sell just that, pizzas that taste like chains.
