First time tasting Detroit style.. damn good.. how it looks to you Americans??

Looks great!  What is the mustard looking sauce on it?

Yeah, what are all the Toppings on it?

Mozzarella, white cheddar, mushrooms, bacon, truffle mayo sauce..

Mayo sauce on a pizza (UGH!)

Hell, no Mayo on anything for me. That shit looks nasty to me.

I agree. Kewpie mayo on a pie can be good if it is combined with the right ingredients, like shrimp and nori. But outside of what we call pizza, that dough is a canvas for many delicious meals. I do not mind when places get creative with their toppings. We might not have the famous white clam if they stuck to tomato and cheese. I only have a few objections. BBQ chicken, ziti and salad pies. Just order the entree. My daughter loves a BBQ chicken slice. I do not get it. But pizza is tomato sauce, dough and cheese. Who puts pasta on a slice? Teenagers.

I had leftover pizza ingredients that I needed to use, but I didn’t have the time to make a proper dough. So I went to the store and grabbed some premade dough from the deli. Not bad for $3.this one I made for my girlfriend, who is vegetarian. Garlic, onion, bell pepper and cherry tomatoes.

I grew up in CT. Ketchup mustard onion relish with a split top bun. Preferably grilled. Those Vienna dogs are not bad, but they are not good either. I think we may need a hot dog thread. 

Vienna are the best I've had.

Yes. Im from Chicago, but I have traveled all 48 continental states and have had a few hot dogs from many of them. I also have had 2 heart surgeries to prove it. 

I have yet to taste a hot dog that is better than Vienna. Please tell me which ones you think are better. I will order online and have them shipped to me. Seriously. I'll give em a taste. K

Hummel brothers from New Haven CT. Rosols from New Britain CT. Or try a natural casing Boars Head, all beef or frankfurters. Like many great foods, it is a regional thing. My complaint about Vienna is that it is always steamed or boiled. I know many think of Chicago as a hot dog capitol, but CT has a spot in the top 5.

EDIT: CT also has the best pizza in the country. With a nod to Chicago. 

I will second the natural casing Boars Head. I buy those more often than Nathans.  I would also find the original Nathans too though if you can.  I usually get them from Nathans rather than cook them myself but I hardly ever go to Nathans anymore.

I never see Nathans natural casing dogs at the market. Always skinless. But those onions are a staple in our fridge. Their restaurants are terrible IMHO.

Whats terrible about them?  They make hot dogs.  Kind of hard to mess that up, lol.

I agree with the natural casing and finding them.  It's why I just buy the Boarshead.

You gotta have that snap!

Dirty places. There is a balance between age, grime and charm. The Nathans outside of Coney Island do not have it. They sold out. I prefer a papaya dog 100 times over.

I meant buying a casing Nathans in a store.  They have them in Oceanside where I used to live.  That snap is what makes them.

What Nathans doesn't have the snap dogs?  It's not a Nathans then...

Where I live I never see natural casing Nathans in the market. Always skinless. And I am in NY. If I cannot find the natural casing boars head then I go with sabretts or bests. Has anybody put wieners on a pizza? I have.

But is it still pizza or a flatbread? Not that there is anything wrong with creative toppings. I enjoy many variations. I guess white and clam pies are still pizza. But somewhere along the line the toppings got out of hand. Buffalo chicken slice? Heck no.

One of my preferred pizza places has a spicy hot dog pizza. It's pretty good! Tomato base, mozza, split beef hot dogs, green and red peppers, banana peppers, and a honey mustard drizzle. 

I will try almost anything. And I mean anything. But as I get older I have a three ingredient rule when it comes to pizza. There is a place nearby that does a sopressata pie with a Mike's hot honey drizzle. It is delicious.

I dislike eggplant but this looks delicious.
