    I m heading to north eastern Pennsylvania tomorrow and I can only wonder what kind of pizza they will have in the area. 
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I have been known to fix a terrible frozen pizza with dipping spices, salt, hot sauce, and the cardboard crust dipped in ranch dressing in my day.
    There isn't much, ketchup notwithstanding, that is off the table when your dealing with a Red Baron and you've got the munchies.

    Mushrooms are acceptable on my pizza if Giada makes it for me.


    She could make me a pizza with mushrooms & brussels sprouts with a squid ink sauce and I'd eat the damn thing.  I mean, are ya really gonna tell her "no?"
  • No.


    (I would not tell her no!)

    I don't know. Might need to give 'em a gentle squeeze to be sure.

    The only "pizza dip" of which I'm aware. 

    What is it? Oil with crushed peppers?
    Yes, it's olive oil infused with crushed red peppers, and possibly some garlic and oregano. I could not find a Google image of the chili oil they have at Juliana's or Lucali in Brooklyn; this looks closest. 
    I love sprinkling the crushed peppers on a pizza, but I wouldn't want to add any oil. Pizza is usually oily enough without drizzling more on top of it.

    It's for your leftover crust.

    Gentle is the key word

    squeeze them tomatoes too hard, you might have some premature sauce to deal with

    no one wants that

    Haha! Agreed. A little spicy mustard and some kraut. Perfection! Ketchup just destroys the taste and smothers it. It's like adding sugar to tea. Yuck!

    To stay on topic, I found an awesome recipe for a smoky cashew cheese pizza with kale and sweet potatoes sliced on top. That thing was so damn good.

    It's a hopeless situation...

    I am not on board with the vegan insanity of calling things cheese when they are not cheese.

    I love how everyone venerates the hotdog like it some precious commodity ruined by ketchup lol
    It's junk!  It's not even meat!  It's little bits of gristle ground and bound.

    I don't know that it's insanity. It's just the best way to describe the taste and texture.

    Yeah, hot dogs are disgusting, but there are obviously significant differences in quality.

    Cheese substitute is acceptable to me.  That's what it is.  It is not cheese.

    I enjoy hotdogs as much as the next guy, but it's not some quality piece of meat that is ruined by any particular condiment.
    Don't put ketchup or relish on a steak, chop, or roast, sure, but you can't ruin a scrapmeat tubesteak with a condiment.  It's a silly idea and I reject the premise altogether, especially when it's proponents accept ketchup on a higher quality meat and bun combo, the hamburger.  There's no rhyme or reason, just dogma.

    Maybe there needs to be a thread for food rules.
    From the obvious and inviolable: Don't put ketchup on a filet!
    To the silly and meritless: Don't put ketchup on a hotdog.

    Picked up a couple of these in the market the other day.  Had the thin crust mozzarella & pesto.  It's actually pretty decent for a frozen pie.  Also picked up the classic vegetable & goat cheese and pepperoni.

    You are choosing to view it as a substitute for something due to your food preferences. I'm going to wager that you also then don't like anything besides cow milk being called milk? You food segregationist!

    Most pizza in Phoenix is shit, but Pizzeria Bianco is one of the few places that lived up to the hype.

    Well rgambs, I for one have really been intrigued and amused by how torn up you've been over the fact that ketchup doesn't belong on a hotdog, hahaha, so I really hope you do start a food rules thread!! :)

    I love it. Good place for a date. Bar next store for when there's a long wait. Can make a night out of it.

    I just heard this guy on the new ringer food podcast with joe house, which is awesome by the way. Sounds like a stand up guy. Next time I'm out, this is on the menu

    I've been there probably a half dozen times and never been disappointed. It's been quite awhile though. On the weekends there was always an incredibly long wait due to the size. I'm not sure if that has changed since they opened other locations, but the one in Heritage Square is the one to go to. Bar Bianco next store and I think there is still The Rose and Crown down there too. Also in walking distance of plenty of places to grab a drink.
