I wonder if the sort of toppings you have on your pizza say anything about you as a person. I know my dad always favored a pepperoni and mushroom, keeping it to those two toppings to keep the cost down (at the time, our pizza place charged per topping and had few special set pizzas), and later on he started to objet to the peperoni as it was too salty and made him need more water. Frankly, the cheese is what does me in these days, but it's just not a pizza without bowel clogging quantities of cheese. So, to truely get a personality indicative pizza, I think we need to remove health and financial concerns from the pizza. So what would YOUR pizza be? and what would it say about YOU?
Hmm. Generally, when I'm drunk I go for the cheese and onion option. There's this chip shop in Glasgow that makes fucking amazing pizzas, the tomato sauce is just excellent. I'm also partial to a ham and pineapple pizza on occassion Or, 4 seasons. That's also good
I'm not to fond of pizza I dont particularly like melted cheese so my pizzas consist of a small layer of cheese and tomato sauce. Okay say it..Im boring.
What about cheeseless vegetarian pizza on a whole wheat crust with the oil blotted off. Healthy veggies.
What about pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, red peppers, green chili peppers, jalepeno peppers, artichoke, black olives, green olives, italian sausage, grated fresh garlic, extra tomato sauce, smoked salmon, di parma ham, crushed red chilis, and then squirt some fresh lemon juice and tobasco sauce on it once it's done? ... What? edit: thank Toast for spellcheck!

Okay... pineapple, bacon, cheese, spinach, mushrooms, more of that Gorgonzola cheese, but God forbid tuna on a pizza! No idea, though, what that says about me.
If I was was forced to eat pizza, say in return for a hot emo boy... wholemeal base, chunky proper tomato sauce, no cheese, vegetables.
Mozerella, specifically. Loads of tomato sauce, the more like tomato puree the better. I love tomato puree. Onions. Garlic. Pesto. Basil. THIN crust ONLY! Deep pan, blargh. And none of the flour stuff on the bottom. I hate flour. Just the sandy texture of it against pizza crust, it makes me cringe. Like flour on the top crust of sliced bread. shudder.
Basic Mozzarella and tomato with deep dish crust. Though I wouldn't say no to mushrooms on that. They have about two decent pizza places here. The rest of them sell cardboard with tomato sauce and melted rubbery cheese on it. God bless America indeed. :roll: Bless us with good pizza!!!
What does your pizza say about you: ANDALUSIAN: you like hot emo boys. Hot emo boys like you. You think that Garner is evil. FAIRYLIQUID: you should try Sicilian pizza, or white pizza. It uses ricotta cheese, instead of mozarella, and tastes awesome. You're not boring, but you do think that Garner is evil. ORRDOS: You think Garner is evil. When you're drunk, you eat some cheese/onion pizza and then go off, and tell him that. HEX: You should come to DE at the earliest opportunity. We have awesome Greek pizza places. You also think Garner is evil. PEPSTER: You should also come to DE - we have Bertucci's famous oven-cooked pizza. You think Garner is evil. TOAF: your taste in pizza is very similar to Hex's. Therefore, you also think that Garner's evil. Oh, and you like to draw! DELPHINE: You think that flour on top of sliced bread is evil. Garner reminds you of flour. MARCIA: You think that Garner is evil and therefore want to smack him with a large anchovy. HSING: You will not put tuna on your pizza, because you think fish should be reserved for smacking Garner. I agree. GARNER: You claim that women can't read and are inferior. You are evil. Until I find a suitable fish, you will be smacked repeatedly with a frying pan. edited because I missed Orrdos and Fairyliquid the first time around
We had a double pepperoni Hot Stuff tm from the local Cenex C-store for supper. We paid $9.99 for a large made for us by the little girl minding the store all by herself. She said it was her second pizza ever. It might not be the best we can get here but Hot Stuff tm is ususally reliable at least, and at least 5 bucks cheaper then Pizza Hut. Plus Cenex has the new coffee flavored Hershey bars, umm. My all time favorite pizza is a Godfather's tm deep dish extra cheese with sausasge, pepperoni, mushroom and black olive. I also like to make my own at home, when I was in college I brought tiny black and green olive, green pepper, onion, four cheese pizzas to an art show opening and I was known as the pizza lady for a long time.
After my travels through the UK and Europe and a lot of eating out I came to the conclusion that the all Europeans (the english included) cannot do a decent pizza, its over-priced and generally not very good... Here a large boring pizza from Pizza Hut costs about $5 dollars pick-up but there are so many better ones around where you can get a large tandoori chicken pizza with raita and papdums for about $10 why would you get anything else... My local pub does awesome pizzas, thin crust, not too much cheese and you can get a roast mediteranian vegetable pizza with feta and olives...mmmm feta....
My favorite fast food pizza place is Papa John's. When ordering for myself I get a hand tossed, pepperoni pizza. The only time I get anything different is if it's cheaper to get more toppings than to not. And then I usually get extra cheese and extra pepperoni. I'm kinda stubborn like that. It's not that I don't like other kinds of pizza, it's just that it's my favorite. Ate it for almost a month straight while in school. The cafeteria got a new pizza machine, so I got pizza, a bowl of cereal, and a salad for two meals a day for a long time. That seems like an odd concoction, but I really liked it for some reason. What that says about me? Probably that I'm a simpleton and that I'm pretty gross. Ooooo, and for some reason I feel that Garner is evil for some reason. Must be indigestion.
Spiky, you ought to come to Greece. I like any pizza with the traditional thin crust and fresh material. If it is cooked in a wood oven, so much the better. One quirk I have; I prefer slices of fresh tomato to tomato sauce. Does this mean I also hate Garner?
Pizza… Well for me there are two types that I like: the posh version- goats cheese and spinach- * perhaps done like Turkish Pida. - Or alternatively at home I like buying basic cheese and tomato thin base and adding my own toppings- usually whatever is readily available in my fridge- peppers (capsicums), olives, onions, mushrooms, chicken (sometimes) and sweet chili sauce/garlic usually and then a fine grating of cheese on top. My favourite ‘at home ‘ combination is chicken, olives and peppers with a little chili sauce. I know what I don’t like on pizza- tuna, oh, and I also don’t like pineapple. I just don’t get the idea of eating something so sweet on essentially what is a very savoury food! I actually don’t mind the ‘breakfast pizza’ which I’ve had in a number of places although I’m not a huge meat eater- it involves an egg cracked into the middle of it before it’s put into the pizza oven. * N.B this is not an invitation to start a spinach thread.
Tomato puree but no actual pieces of tomato, cheese (for preference to include cheddar, which doth a fine pizza make), sweetcorn, green and red peppers. Some herbs, to be selected and mixed by Garner.
I don't like tons of sauce on my pizza. I usually get pepperoni, bacon, and sausage on my pizza or the pizza place near my house has the best BLT pizza but they put ham on it and I don't know why, ham has nothing to do with a BLT. I found a website that says you can do pizza readings although it's not what the toppings say about you it's the images you see on the pizza. Possibly not the best place to bring this up, in a food topic, but did you know you can have your bum read like they read your palm?
[quote:f569618cba="Saccharissa"]Spiky, you ought to come to Greece. One quirk I have; I prefer slices of fresh tomato to tomato sauce.

I prefer fresh tomato as well - on white, ricotta-cheesed pizza with garlick, spinach and broccoli! Yay! (And lots of olive oil!) Faerie, if they read your bum... wouldn't there be only one line?
True, I'm not exactly sure what they look for on your bum. You would think there would be more information on your palm but I am not a bum reader so I don't know. Edit: I could google it but I'm afraid of what I might find. :shock:
I've seen something on bum reading but I think all my celulite will be telling anyone is that maybe I've eaten one too many pizzas :lol: Now stop looking at my arse! Sach: I've had some good Greek pizzas, although there was a great Turkish pizza place in Newtown that did pida style ones which were devine... Maybe I should limit my European generalisation to Narthern Europe?

Wow we've possibly had take- away pizza from the same place :shock:
I know what my pizza says about me, CARNIVORE! Pepperoni, beef, ham, bacon on a thin 'n crispy base with BBQ sauce.
[quote:0dc1a084a9="Perdita"]Wow we've possibly had take- away pizza from the same place :shock:[/quote:0dc1a084a9] The world really is to small...

I still don't know the name of it however! I used to stay with my cousin who lived in Newtown- Gibb Street?- He then moved to Marrickville, nowadays he lives on a farm near Balleratt (sp?) that him and his partner bought to get a bit of country life- He has organised the local rodeo and country fair which is a big change for a computer programmer!
Cool. Yes the world is too small. And country rodeos eh? Well the closest he would've come to one of those in Sydney is the cowgirl drag queen at the Newtown Hotel And its Ballarat in case you ever need to spell it again... It could happen, you never know.

I was trying to remember the name recently and for the life of me I can't sorry for the hyjack- I will route all Oz based talk to the Australia thread from now on :cry:
Theres possibly 2, the Newtown hotel or the Taxi Club.. ALhtough there is a third I think the Albury Hotel? The second too are in the Cross and Oxford st. Where all good drag queens live.
As an amusing side story, when me and Ella went to the PIZZA SHOP OF KINGS, she bought some chips and cheese. While we walked the 20 min trek to the taxi rank, I ate my pizza. Ella carried her precious cargo on the other hand, preffering to eat it later. So, she carried it all the way to the taxi queue. Then stood in the taxi queue for another half hour or so and then... dropped the chips and cheese on the ground. Loser. My pizza was damned good though
There was no cheese! And I didn't drop them, they jumped out of my hand. Honest! I was just about to eat them as well. I don't know how you can eat a pizza while walking down the street anyway
This is weird - I have two message-boards open at once, because I couldn't decide which one I more urgently need to pay attention to. I opened the first thread I came to on both - and both were about pizza!!! Just around the corner from me is Mr Pizza. I can get a vege pizza with pineapple (quite unusual unless you ask for it). And if you pick it up, it's only £2.50! Excellent! Thinking Garner is evil means that you must have read the thread (or at least, [i:0a5902c05d]a[/i:0a5902c05d] thread ), which means that women can read, which means that Garner is wrong. Hah! :badgrin:
I deride all you insinuators of Garners Evil. Garner is good and just. So, nya! Pizza: Creamy garlic sauce (non of that awful tomato stuff thankyouverymuch), spinach, artichokes, broccoli, grilled chicken, red onions. Smothered in cheese, lots of cheese, with more cheese. Side dish of ranch for dipping. Mmmmmm fattastic.
Om, I didnt' say that Garner wasn't good or just... I just said he's evil! It's possible because of quantum

[quote:b82b066ed8="Delphine"]Om, I thought thou were a vegetarian, for some reason.[/quote:b82b066ed8] I am, but Garner said that we could put anything on, regardless of fat content or diet. I love grilled chicken on pizza, thats why I put it.

I had a fine pizza in the beer hall the other night. Spicy italian sausage with onions and chillis. Excellent it was.
Hah! I had a tandoori paneer pizza a couple of days ago, no more settling for onions and similar veggies on my pizza. Indianized Italian food rocks .. as does Indianized Chinese etc
Pepperoni, Mixed peppers a little green chilli and double cheese. All I can see that my pizza says about me from the above toppings is that I like double letters in my words.
flammekuche or tarte flambé is my favorite now. onions, bits of ham and some kind of cheese, no tomato sauce. some friends and I got a pizza with those toppings, instead of the traditional tart crust thingy. Someone asked me for tart flambe and I said we didn't have any, 'this is the bastard child of a tart flambé and a pizza' They started looking at me kinda funny then. What :roll: ?
[quote:f01a1fed48="Toaf"]if i HAD to have a pizza... thick, just tomato, black olives, and fresh basil. No cheese.[/quote:f01a1fed48] If it doesn't have cheese, isn't it more like a bruschetta? For myself, pepperoni and jalapenos. The only thing this says about me is that I like hot pizzas, take from that what you will. Edited to add: 4 pages on this thread? I could have sworn there was only one. Apologies.
l once had a banana and curry-powder pizza (l was young, it sounded good). Needless to say it was beyond tasty. l think you may all agree about what this may say about me. l'm strange and unusual. A little scary and totally disgusting when you think about it. But if you try a piece, you might like me. Or if you're really, really, really drunk, you might find me attractive. Oh my goodness, my pizza is totally me.
