Pizza, I loves me some good pizza, but I loathe bad pizza. About a month ago we tried this place that someone raved about, but it was pretty bad. First time I have had pizza that didn't have any sauce, all cheese, man I felt like I gained 20 pounds from the salt in all that cheese.
Last night we tried a new place and it was pretty bad too, I tried heating it up today (some pizzas, not many, heat up better I have found). Going to throw the rest of it away. The main problem was way too much cheese, and a bland sauce, the crust was okay but overall the pizza was disappointing to say the least.
Pizza by definition is a simple dish but what a variance in the ways to put that simple dish together. My personal favorite pizza is a thin crust (the kind that creates big air bubbles is awesome) with a good pizza sauce (with taste and flavor and a bit of an edge), then put on some good pepperoni, mushrooms and some crumbled bacon. I am a happy man.
I do like Chicago deep crust, like the New York style bend in the middle kind, like a traditional pan pizza, love the wood fired type, love the more traditional Italian pizzas (such as Neapolitan or Lazio or Sicilian), in fact really enjoy 'most' pizzas, but you have to balance the cheese, sauce and ingredients in my humble opinion. Some places seem to get that but man so many do not.
Just curious to what people here like on their pizzas. I am afraid though that pizza might be like religion and politics, Strong opinions on all sides and death to those who don't agree!
