  • I love homemade but some are awful.  

    Dirty....I love it.  Looks like a bit much on the cheese but that is really nitpicking.  Pizza looks great I hope you gave her a kiss and enjoyed it.
    Rock on!

    And hey... all opinions are welcome in the pizza thread. Riot... I get where you're at. You just need to find someone who can cook a pizza (or learn to do so yourself!).

    I’m just going off of my own experiences. If I tried yours maybe I would think differently. In my experience it goes like this:

    Local/family owned shops
    Regional chains (these are a big wild card, some are awesome, some are horrible)
    big chains
    frozen
    fundraiser 
    homemade







    burnt


    :rofl:

    At the risk of it sounding like innuendo, I would love to try often's homemade pizza.

    Thirty, great looking homemade pie there!

    My brother in law does homemade pies every few months entirely from scratch. They are fantastic, even to the point that our friend who is in the restaurant business has asked him to go into business and open a store. This shit is the real deal. Talk is cheap, so I’ll take pics next time we do pizza night over there. ;)

    I love home made pizza on the grill.  As soon as this snow melts I'll be firing up my webster.

    It’s funny you say that. He cooks some in the oven and some on a pizza stone on the grill for a different flavor. I’m a huge fan of homemade pizza in general, when it’s done right.

    Yeah that’s what I meant. Square slices on a round pie. Very common in Chicago area. I like both, but nothing like a nice triangle slice

    Back to Pizza.....didn't plan on making tonight but the three year old asked if we could.  Used what we had on hand - for my pie it was some Jersey tomato sauce, Cabot seriously sharp cheddar, and a badass Cabot mad River reserve (sharp cheddar/parm blend)
    Put the basil on about a minute too early but otherwise it was mighty good.

    Three year old made his all himself, I just handed him the items to use.
    He was so pleased with himself when we took it out.
    "It looks like a cookie AND a pie!"
    Love it.

    Three year old's effort:


    My wife's white pizza (she was not happy with how this turned out)


    My pie:

    Hahaha.  I liked my pizza the best but the 13 yr old ate at a friend's house.  He usually wins.

    Holy shit start saving up a pizza shop fund for that 3 year old, he appears to have a gift! I’ll offer up some start up money for his 18th birthday.

    Ha.  Thanks . Saving for him going to USC like his daddy.  (Or Harvard, if he wants)

    In NYC alot of the more legit pizzeria's do a "grandma's slice" which is a square pie and cut in squares. Basiclly a sicilian pie top with dollops of sauce and fresh basil. Fucking delicious!

    Here is a Dr. Oetker Ristorante frozen pizza. I added some jalepenos, and just a touch of shredded havarti and a bit of basil. Really really really good!
