Pineapple on Pizza: Yea or Nay?

[anotherbob]

One of these days, subway sandwiches will catch on here in the US.

what? Are you comparing calzones to those middling sandwiches? If so you really need to stop listening to who ever told you where to get calzones. Seriously.

Are you comparing calzones to those middling sandwiches?

I've no ideas why you say this. I made no such comparisons. It was actually a joke that reinforced your own assertion that calzones were everywhere. You like calzones, have at 'em.

It should be illegal.

Nothing beats a simple marguerita, napoletana style.
Long fermentation, milky mozzarella, tomato sauce and fresh basil.

Less is more. But that’s just me.

You can sprinkle Latakia on top of yours if that’s your jam. As long as you’re happy.

I see. I knew you were implying something. That just seemed too nice for you. No rough edges, which means I have to ask do you have a temperature? Are you feeling alright?

I think you may have me all wrong. I never put anyone down, ever. I lay some words down and fools pick them up and wear them, while blaming me for it.

And, you'd fall into the Grand Canyon if someone wasn't with you. I gave you the rough edges you were looking for, but... swoosh.

You really underestimate how fundamentally feral I actually am. Basically if you want to understand my childhood just imagine a wild animal with a Nintendo and lots of books.
But as you can see from your statement I did hit the nail on the head.

Elio's or Stouffers?

 

[LOREN]

Pineapple, anchovies, chicken, BBQ and some others just depends on my mood. They are not items I order every time.

Not to deviate from the main topic here but at Centro Pizza in Cedar City (a little place we weekend road trip to frequently) I discovered one of the absolutely best pizzas I've ever tasted:

Fontina and gorgonzola cheeses, red grapes and crispy pancetta (copied from their website)

No.
Only napoletan pizzas for me.

For those interested in calzones that live near a college town, DP Dough is a chain that delivers calzones. The quality was just okay, but they were reasonably priced, open late, and have a large selection. They made it out west as far as Arizona and Colorado.

The Detroit pizza chains tend to offer calzones or a similar type of sandwich and they are often found at mom and pop shops.

Personally, I agree that it can be too much dough but like the concept.

So is the next debate regular versus thin crust? A style war with New York versus Chicago versus Detroit (either pan or chain crust known as a cardboard pizza)? Inquiring minds want to know.

I'll grab the popcorn (now would that be regular, carmel, cheddar, kettle, or Chicago style ... Decisions, decisions, descions).

View attachment 128345Perhaps you missed it, but February 9, 2022 was National Pizza Day here in the states.

Despite its Italian origins there are many who choose to celebrate the day as a chance to acknowledge what is believed by many to be among Canada’s top 3 contributions to world culture: the pineapple pizza*.

*The late Sotirios "Sam" Panopoulos was a Greek immigrant widely credited for inventing the Hawaiian pizza in southern Ontario, Canada. According to lore, in 1962, he spread ham and pineapples onto a standard cheese pizza at his restaurant, the Satellite Diner and the Hawaiian pizza was born.

It's one of my favorite pizzas! i even like dessert pizzas on occasion.

Every time I have ever gotten a calzone, it was because the place was famous for them, and they are like pizza with 80% more bread. Like a huge bubble of bread, with a small scoop of pizza stuff in the middle. And, none of them were of a size that I could pick up and eat. They should make them more like a burrito, IMO.

The calzone I have in Italy were quite different from that. The dough wasn't thicker than a thin crust pizza and the fillings were plentiful. As for size, they varied a bit from a medium sized burrito, albeit with a half moon shape, to large, but no more than 8" in length.

Many years ago we took the kids to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village near Detroit. We stopped at this bar/restaurant and the waitress told us they were famous for their BLT pizza. It was one of the best pizzas I ever ate. We tried to duplicate it at home...it just wasn't the same.

There was a restaurant in Dixon, Illinois (maybe still there) that was known for their spaghetti pizza. It was their homemade spaghetti spread out on a pizza crust and covered with mozzarella. I personally never tried it, but a few co-workers of mine said it was fantastic.

I'll try any kind of pizza at least once.
