my cheap ass went for the papa murphy’s $6.99 XLNY tonight. was about what you’d expect from a 7 buck pizza.
Well now I don't have to wonder if Papa Murphy's is any good, lol. That's the take-n-bake place, right? I figured it would be better than that.
An Irishman should not be making pizzas...
I hate to defend the Irish, but I will say that the best Italian restaurant for at least 20 years (likely more) in the North End is run by an Irish family.

No it's not, stop it.
The level of good food in your area must be scarce then?!?
Irish people can learn to cook good Italian, definitely. The only time I really care about what nationality is doing the cooking is in sushi houses (in a city where apparently 80% of the sushi houses are actually Chinese run). For some reason the Japanese just have it nailed and nobody else truly does.

Look I can make a great sauce too and I'm not Italian.
I'm just saying that I wouldn't go to an Irish Italian place as my first choice.
As for the Sushi comment I agree too. If they have other food on the menu that isn't Sushi I tend to stay clear...

That reminds me of all the pizza/Indian places we have here, and the pizza/middle eastern joints. SO many of our local pizza joints also have full on Indian or Middle Eastern menus (run by Indians or Arabs). You can order a deluxe meat pizza plus a nice aloo gobi with naan for delivery, lol. And most of the indian or middle eastern food is surprisingly good ... the pizzas are usually acceptable but not mind blowing, but are on occasion particularly not good. I'm not really sure why these business owners choose to do this, but I have to assume it works out best economically, or else they wouldn't be doing it so often, would they?? I would have guessed that they'd do better just going full on Indian or Middle Eastern. People love that shit. But I guess not. I must be underestimating people's desire to get pizza with their ethnic food orders, lol. Perhaps people go for it because they have kids who will only eat the pizza??

Then you would be missing out on one of the best meals of your life.

What is the name of the restaurant?
Pomodoro. Consistently, and again we’re talking about a more than 20-year timeframe of dining there (and it’s changed locations a couplefew times), the best seafood fra diavolo and zuppa di pesce I’ve ever had.
Edit: Those who know me know that I also hate to say anything good about Boston, but I can’t deny the awesomeness of this place.

A few years back I drove by the best 'versatile' business I've ever seen (in Langley or Surrey... I can't remember): Jot's Meats and Passport Photos.
It was the one stop shop for grabbing some meat and getting your passport photo done!

I dont understand how you can grab that giant ass piece of pie and hold it straight up.
Good pizza will slide away on you -- that is why you have to do 'the fold' -- any serious pizza eater knows this.
She actually shakes them while holding them straight down...and nothing happens. ??
That being said it doesn't look bad and I love in the start of the video how happy she is with her pizza.
The love he receives is the love that is saved

Prepping....request from the four year old that we make pizzas tonight. Sauce is done, dough balls have been in the fridge for hours. I've been eating pizza sparingly, this is gonna be good

Was very good
The 4 year old's was excellent:
The 13 year old insisted on smooshing the dough and so the transfer to the stone didn't happen properly....had to cut it up and transfer. Tasted pretty good, though:
Made a grandma for mine...it was pretty awesome. I nailed the sauce this time and a grandma takes full advantage of that.
Hell yeah. Looks good. I've got so much basil growing out on our fire escape right now. Need to use some up. Pizza night for sure this week. Maybe a pesto pie is in order...

I can't keep up with the basil. It feels good to use some on the pie. Not eating pasta now but that is a dish I can load a shitton of basil into.

Question?
I was told by an Italian to not use Olive Oil and just use Canola and it would actually taste better?
I've never attempted to make my own pizza so I don't know.

Olive oil > canola oil all day. Much healthier too.
Canola is pretty bland; Olive oil is going to have more flavor. But I wouldn't say it's "much healthier" than Canola. They're still the two healthiest oils you can use in cooking; both are low in saturated fat and contain a decent amount of Omega-3's. I would still prefer Olive oil for pizza just because of the flavor component. Canola has a higher smoke point, so it is better for high-temp cooking like fying (which may be where the unhealthy misconception comes from).
Yeah, olive oil is better IMO, but it's just a matter of taste. Canola has less flavour, and olive oil has a stronger and distinct flavour, so if someone isn't a big fan of the flavour of olive oil, then canola is the way to go.
