my favorite pizza in my old home town, worthington, ohio. I love the nearly burnt pepperoni. I have been known to eat there twice a day when I visit.

Where is that, Rob? Next time I'm in Columbus I'm gonna have to head up the Olentangy and try it out.

a place called villa nova....high street on the south edge of worthington. great food!

F'me....squares, not strips....makes it easy to say "maybe just one more piece."

$12.50 for a large. Affordable!
Looked through the Yelp and the pepp does look delicious time after time.

The Hawaiian is a crime against fucking pizza humanity however. (Every version of that pizza is, ugggh.)

That doesn't even resemble pizza. Way too many toppings. I m guessing their sauce sucks.

Agreed. While I love pineapple on a pizza, those toppings are out of control and way too chunky. How a pie is put together is just as important as the ingredients.

Had some Big John's square pie this weekend at a family party. They are all worshippers at the Big John altar and drive to the shit-pit of a location miles away to pick it up. Sauce was sweet, and I enjoyed it.

I'm a bit of a pizza snob and always prefer certified neapolitan style over all others.
Such as my local pizza place....Pizzeria Locale in Boulder....

Nice & crispy, just the way I like it!

Growing up in VT, the pizza was shit unless you made it yourself. (My parents were both from NYC so I learned at an early age what real pizza was)

That being the case, I would go through the frozen pizzas to find what I liked.

My favorite?
The frozen chef boyardee old school pepperoni pizza. Cardboard crust? Shitty little chunks of pepperoni.
I loved it.

These days I actually would choose the pepperoni digiorno. Make sure to leave it in until the pepperoni starts to burn a little.

If you have to go Frozen....what do you prefer?

I'm a NYC pizza snob also. It's the first thing I go out & eat after I land at Laguardia when I go back to visit. Almost never do frozen pizza.

I've seen the term pizza snob thrown out a few times in this thread. I don't understand the concept of being a pizza "snob" (or any type of food [*1] or beverage for that matter). There are so many great pizzerias and pies out there - in the country and in the world - get out and enjoy as many as you can! Chicago and New York aren't the only places that make pizza. Down with the two-party pizza system!

[*1] Except that ketchup doesn't go on hot dogs. But that's a different thread for another day.

No no, you can't drop bombs like that and expect no insurgency!
Ketchup doesn't go on hotdogs???
What else is it good for if not hotdogs? That's, like, the second best possible use of ketchup behind french fries!

Ketchup does not go on hot dogs. My brother does this. (Ketchup is good for burgers)
Mustard.
If you must, Mustard and onions.

I do love Chicago Dogs but they are a whole different deal.

And, I am a Sushi Snob. 1000%. (I think there is justification for that term...lol)

I had a salad for lunch -- but I was thinking about Pizza.

Ketchup definitely does not belong on hot dogs - this is actually a thing, haha.
Okay, obviously people can and do put whatever the hell they want on hot dogs, lol. But it is definitely a pretty widely agreed upon thing that ketchup on a hot dog is gauche at best.

When I lived in Tucson I ate an obese person's fair share of Sonoran hot dogs.
I really enjoy a Cincy Chili dog as well.
Hot dog snobs probably wouldn't approve of either lol

You guys are literally insane!
How can pairing the least refined condiment with the least refined form of meat be gauche?
It's a match made in heaven.
Just mustard on a hotdog?
Just mustard is a wholly imbalanced condimentation for anything other than a Cuban, which brings flavor balance with the cheese.

I think you have a good case with sushi. I think everyone should expect it to be made by a qualified chef, with fresh ingredients and sushi grade fish. So being a sushi snob should be the norm.

I, too, had a salad for lunch but was thinking about pizza. Guess I know what's for dinner now.

No, not just mustard. Mustard and onions, sauerkraut, onions, hot peppers, and relish. Yum! A traditional Chicago dog is also delicious, with the pickle. Also pretty good, and a Seattle specialty, is adding a bit of cream cheese.

We will have to agree to disagree on this point.
I do think it is great that you made up a word for this point, though! (And I love a good Cuban sandwich.)

So back on topic....this is pretty good. (Aside from the issue with the man saying 'like' over and over when he tries to speak, that drives me nuts. The 12 year old does it - but this is a grown man. She seems cool.) I love that they eat so much of it and it all totals less than 20 euros for 3 pizzas and beverages.

On hot dogs:
Mustard, relish (pickle or hot pepper), onions, slaw, chili, cheese, jalapenos are all perfectly fine for your standard dog. I don't like kraut, but if you do, it's fine on as well. Always dress the dog, not the bun - wet first, then chunky. And the mustard should be yellow, never spicy brown. (Conversely, only spicy brown on brats & the like, never yellow.)
I consider specialty dogs to be in their own class. The Chicago dog is delicious and the West Virginia slaw dog (chili sauce, slaw, mustard) is also quite delectable. My buddy's bar has a dog wrapped in bacon then topped with cream cheese & sriracha, which is pretty damn good.

Anyway, back to pizza...

I recently read an article of the humanitarian acts that Mike Ilitch, deceased owner of Little Caesars (and the Detroit Tigers & Red Wings), had made throughout his life. Most notably, he paid Rosa Parks rent for years and donated tens of millions through Little Caesars Love Kitchen, which feeds victims of natural disasters.

Then you have "Papa John" Schnatter, who threw a public hissy fit and raised prices & cut workers' hours so he "could afford Obamacare."

None of those hotdog dressings lend themselves well to a campfire, a boat, or a plain old backyard cookout.
It's almost like y'all have only ever bought a hotdog and never made one for yourself!
No ketchup on a hotdog, this lunacy is out of hand I say.

Mustard and relish come in smaller, more portable bottles than ketchup! An onion, also rather convenient.

I can only think of one instance where ketchup on a hot dog is acceptable: when you're a kid and you eat ketchup on damn near everything.

Is there a reason or is it just a silly thing that people say?
I mean, what is the difference between a hotdog and a hamburger that warrants ketchup on one, but not the other?

I don't think there is any reasonable explanation.
