    With kids, I completely understand.  Kids can be disgusting while eating so anything to make less of a mess I'm down with it.  Otherwise it's just a silly notion invented by New Yorkers to feel more important about pizza. :wink:

    On another note, I tried out a MOD Pizza last week.  First time I've ever been to one.  I understand it originated in Seattle.  I was actually pretty impressed with it, considering the fast casual style of restaurant it is; like a Chipotle for pizza.  I just grabbed one of the menu pies (the Dominic - white sauce, asiago, red onion, tomatoes, sausage, & fresh basil) but I'd love to go back and do a few build-my-owns.  But like everything else, the closest one is over an hour away.

    Mod pizza? 
    Fast food pizza.  I prefer &pizza if you are going to pick one of those.  Really a flat bread and not a pizza but they can be tasty.  A whole new category.
    Looks like the closest ones are near DC.  I'll check it out next time I'm down that way.  Pics don't look too bad from what I've seen; what are the prices like?  MOD was $8.75 for an 11" pie - as few or as many toppings as you like... and fast! 

    Last time I was in Minneapolis I went to this place called Pub 42 and they had a couple pretty good flatbread style pizzas on the menu. Got a classic margherita and a Thai peanut and both were delicious. The charred wings were excellent, too.

    About the same....think $9 for one.  About the same size but I find &pizza product to taste much better . (Although I didn't think MOD was bad)
    An interesting take.

    You think New Yorkers are bad?
    I worked with a few pizza chefs from southern Italy. Two from Napoli and a few from Puglia. They won't even try the pizza anywhere north of Rome. 
    One of the guys spent a summer living in Brooklyn. He told me in private the pizza was as good as anywhere in southern Italy. I don't think he had the balls to tell the other Italians though. Probably wasn't worth the screaming that would have ensued.

    Sometimes this thread makes me want to not eat pizza anymore lol
    I think bacon is the only food that is more over-hyped than pizza.
    I love pizza, but the best plate of pasta usually crushes the best pizza and the depth and subtlety of flavor can't compare with an expertly seasoned soup or sauce.

    I like bacon on pizza sometimes!  The smokey salty flavor does a nice job offsetting the sweetness of peppers/onions.

    Hahahaha hate Kale, love beets.  Hate sweaters, love wool socks.  No Bon Iver, but I do listen to enough bluegrass to still fit the profile lol

    I just had a horrible mental image in my mind.

    You've done your work without the picture.

    Sounds redundant lol

    There's a fast food pizza buffet abomination called Cici's, and when one opened in our town when I was a teenager people told me I HAD to try the macaroni and cheese pizza...I did no such thing!

    Anyone try this??? Looks disgusting.




    WHAT the hell is that?!?!
    Pizza and desert in one....lol
    How bad could it be?? Just hot melted chocolate on some thin crust - I bet it's tasty, if  you like chocolate.
