Oh shit... I get the sense Scruffy is somewhere pretending to be in the moment with some boring east coast company talking about the local weather patterns for the past decade, but secretly reading the pizza thread on his cellular phone... face getting red... and steam is starting to whistle out his ears.

He’s going to feign a bathroom break and rip us ‘topping people’ a new one.

Lol. No company today, one of my kids has strep and my wife and I have sinus infections. Good times. 

Sitting here sick myself. Bored to tears.

And, of course, it's a weekend without any responsibility.

The wife is nagging me to pull it together and go do something with her. I just want to lie on this couch with Aliens on in the background, check fantasy baseball sites for rankings, and taunt east coast people.

F**ks sakes.

Will do so in spirit!

Not quite ready to tilt anything back though. Give me about five hours.

The plain pizza here sucks, including the one I posted above that got this whole discussion going. My kids eat it because they don’t like flavor, while I go heat up some Top ramen or make a turkey sandwich.

There’s a “craft pizza” place in town that has a good crust down, makes a nice Detroit-style pizza and comes up with some decently flavored pies with toppings. I usually get something from there on my night to pick. 

I would never get toppings on any proven pizza from my beloved Brooklyn. They are perfect as is. Adding anything would be comparable to getting omakase from a master sushi chef and drowning it in soy sauce.

Classic margherita and plain cheese for the kids.  

HesCalledDyer

That margherita looks great!

mcgruff10

Damn they look great!!   I like how they cut the pies.

The margherita was really good. The cheese was light on the sauce and heavy cheese. Glad that one wasn’t mine lol

I’ve only been to NY once, but didn’t get pizza from Brooklyn. I wish I would have. I’d like to try an old school, real deal Brooklyn slice. I think the only pizza I had that trip was from Queens. I was college age and we met some girls from St Johns, so we made our way over to Queens. Pizza was nothing to write home about.

Those both look good.  (Except the basil looks burnt....I get pissed when I get that.)

They kind of skimped on it too. A little more basil would have been awesome.

Looks like they styled you on the Mozz, though!

Yes they did us right on the mozz for sure!

Honestly... the pizza looks fine, but I think I know exactly how it tastes: it's plain.

The traditionalists in this thread stubbornly cling to basic pies. How about a couple toppings just to 'kick it up a couple notches'? Like... this pizza... but some crumbled Italian sausage and mushrooms? Maybe green peppers too?

This C+ pizza could have been an A. 

I don’t see you posting shit. Man up and post some pictures of some of your nasty ass Canadian pizza with toppings.  Plain is where it is at. At some point pizza stops being pizza with all those weird ingredients.  

Guilty as charged.

I did have pizza the other night (Thursday) and felt guilty I never took a photo and posted it here.

But I stand by my statement. I'm not a 'works' guy, but I like some toppings. Otherwise... it's like your eating a deluxe flatbread grilled cheese sandwich.

I totally agree. I like actual toppings on my pizzas - so many of the photos in this thread are ones of such plain, boring pizzas with one topping (if that). And I don't understand all the rejection when it comes to new/different pizza topping ideas! I say if it tastes good, do it! These preconceived notions about what toppings or sauces are "acceptable" are weird to me!

^^^It gives me heartburn worse than a pizza ever could, lol.
It's pretty absurd.

But probably not as weird as orange cheese though, eh?

Just like dirty, bitches about other people’s picutres but doesn’t post anything except criticize our outstanding plain pizza. Put your money where your mouth is and post that nasty ass Canadian pizza!  I want to see moose testicles, beaver tail and maple syrup as toppings on your next pizza.

The assumption that anything other than a NY/NJ plain pie is nasty ass pizza is one of those rules I was talking about...

no no, Canadian pizza is nasty ass.  And I don’t believe only ny/nj pizza is the only place to get a good pie. I do think it is the best place in the country to find great pizza, I mean they call it the pizza belt for a reason. But I have had fantastic pizza all over the country. However of the 15 times I have visited Canada I can honestly say it was probably the worst I have ever had.
