Best Pizza

[Bobmuhthol]

I think the award should go to Papa Gino's. Two large pizzas and buffalo tenders = God is real.

Pizzeria Uno\Due for fresh. From the original ones in Chicago, not the generic mass produced knock offs.

For frozen. Home run inn.

Simple Simon's Big 10 pizza.. for where I live. But honestly, there was this little pizza place in Jersey that I got one from while visiting and DAYUM..it was amazingly good..never had pizza until you get one of those. *drools*

Lean Cuisine Cheese Pizza! ~hides~

You should be shot

Brooklyns Brick Oven Pizza in Hackensack NJ makes some of the finest Pizza I have ever easten.

Its not any cookie cutter stuff and made with Fresh sliced mozzarella, not that shredded crap that comes in cases from some pizza supply warehouse.

Anyone who lives in the area should give it a try.

Also try the breaded mozzarella wedges. Also made with delicious fresh mozarella and also just about the best breaded and fried mozarella Ive ever had.

Good stuff.

Ranger has me craving some good chicago deep dish now though. :P

Hey it tastes good for a low fat pizza! Some of us need to watch those calories and fat content!

"What do you want on your Tombstone?"

actually i like red barron or Digeorno (sp) for frozen but im in the military and in Korea so i have to get what i can.

[Pierat]

omg you people, chains?! goodness, please come to NYC, and either go to Johns pizza on west 4th or Rays on 11th street and 6th ave. I perfer the later myself, you havent had pizza till youve had that. I eat the other stuff too when I travel, but goodness!

Fat is needed to maintain hormone level. It is a common misconception that moderate fat intake is to be avoided. At the same time, it is prefered to intake unsaturated fats and MCT's (medium chain triglycerides). These are the "healthiest" fats.

A good rule to follow is to not eat lots of carbs with high fat. This is a bad combo..

Uh, Pizzeria Uno\due nor Home run inn are chains. Local chicago places. Chicago > NY

[Snapp]

Peace of Pizza.. on U of D campus. I loveeee them.. they make the best combos for toppings. Damn, it's making me hungry.

[GSLeloo]

I agree. It's the saturated fats that are so horrible for you. If I use any kind of oil it's usually olive oil. It's hard to understand why the addition of a few more hydrogen truly make the difference.

It's the bonding that's horrible for you (i.e. causing cancer). Saturated fat just means a few more miles to run today.

Chicago is never > NY. Ever. The Blackhawks can beat the Rangers 30 games in a row and NY will still be > Chicago. Just wait until they make NY capital of the world. Then we'll see what's what.

Oh, and Marissa's has the best pizza. It's off Rt. 111. You can't miss it.

Your an idiot if you think New york > chicago on anything, let alone food.

You're a... a... bigger idiot! Ha!

Mets > Cubs > White Sox > Yankees.

Giants > Jets > Bears

Rangers > Islanders > Blackhawks

Basketball sucks.

Big Apple > Chi-Town

your the biggest idiot.

Basketball does not suck.

sucker.

[Bobmuhthol]

Ahem.

Boston > United States.

[Latrinsorm]

If only I had some Internet poontang. Curses!

edit: Maybe when they learn how to talk. And play baseball. And NOT FUCKING CHEAT THE COLTS OUT OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP. And every other city in the U.S. vanishes. Until then Boston < Everything.

p.s: Boston hit my mom in the eye, so I'm bitter.

I will have you know Chicago is the best city on earth.

a bunch of loosers if you ask me.

[Skirmisher]

Chicago does kick ass.

I love it there.

It still isnt NYC though.

[Bobmuhthol]

It's officially called the Big Snapple now that Snapple paid the city like $40mil to distribute Snapple as the main soft drink in schools.

And yes, only losers would call themselves Apple or Snapple.

Edited to add: New York City has the greatest AIDS count.

Pizza Dough and Sauce




Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 package active dry or fresh yeast
1 teaspoon honey
1 cup warm water -- 105 to 115 degrees
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil -- plus additional for
brushing
Toppings of your choice
1 In a small bowl -- dissolve the yeast
and honey in 1/4-cup warm water.
Sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion -- diced
1 clove garlic -- minced
1 16 oz tomatos -- whole and chopped
1 6 oz tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes -- crushed
1 teaspoon salt

In a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour and the salt. Add the oil, the yeast mixture, and the remaining 3/4 cup of water and mix on low speed until the dough comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl and clusters around the dough hook, about 5 minutes. (The pizza dough can also be made in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse once or twice, add the remaining ingredients, and process until the dough begins to form a ball.)

Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm. Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is lightly pulled).

Divide the dough into 4 balls, about 6 ounces each. Work each ball by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom of the ball. Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll the ball under the palm of your hand until the top of the dough is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest 15 to 20 minutes. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

To prepare each pizza, dip the ball of dough into flour, shake off the excess flour, place the dough on a clean, lightly floured surface, and start to stretch the dough. Press down on the center, spreading the dough into an 8-inch circle, with the outer border a little thicker than the inner circle. If you find this difficult to do, use a small rolling pin to roll out the dough. Lightly brush the inner circle of the dough with oil and arrange the topping of your choice over the inner circle.

Using a lightly floured baker's peel or a rimless flat baking tray, slide the pizza onto the baking stone and bake until the pizza crust is nicely browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Remember that the oven is very hot and be careful as you place the pizza into and out of the oven. Transfer the pizza to a firm surface and cut into slices with a pizza cutter or very sharp knife. Serve immediately.


Yield: Makes 4 (8-inch) pizzas
Prep Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes

Sauce:
In 2-qt. saucepan over med. heat, in 1 tablespoon of oil, cook onion and garlic until tender. Add tomatoes and paste. Add sugar, italian seasoning, red pepper and 1 teaspoon of salt . heat to boiling, stirring. Reduce heat to low, cover partially, simmer sauce 20 min.












NOTES : Dough Recipe
chef notes:after rolling out place dough, brush with a light coat of olive oil or spray with Pam olive oil spray and place on sheets of foil and flash freeze, then stack into ziplock bags, suck out the excess air with a straw.
Sauce: cool and spray ice cube tray with Pam. Freeze and then pop out into a zip lock, use one or two cubes per pizza. Microwave one or two cubes per pizza.
Can take one frozen pizza, sauce and put toppings, cook on stone right on the foil at 500 for 15-20 min. Keep a close watch until bubbly and brown.

[Drew2]

I'm going to come to Chicago and make Dave show me this pizza he speaks of.

I've only ever known Pizza Hut and Papa Johns. :(

that is not pizza, and down south you will see places claiming to have Chicago style pizza, I assure you it is not the real thing, just a cheap knockoff

[Drew2]

Yeah Pizza Hut (I think) had this Pizza running for a while claiming to be "Chicago Style". It was just deep dish with like.. a lot of tomato sauce on top or something. They also had the "Big New Yorker" a few years back... that one was pretty good. I doubt it was similar to the real thing, however.

[Bobmuhthol]

The Pizzaria Uno in Nashua is actually good, but I'll believe it's nowhere near as good as Chicago.

well the big newyorker prolly was considering thier pizza is crap.

[GSLeloo]

Ok best real pizza is the one my father makes for me. It's really good and homemade so no matter what I know where it's been and who's been touching it. Plus it's uber good. We have a pizza stone to cook it on... anyone wanna come over?

[Skirmisher]

Well there is that.

No home should be without a pizza stone.

It can be used for almost any bread too, but Pizza just kicks ass when prepped on it.

[Pierat]

Ok look people let me end this, Chicago has good pizza, dont get me wrong, but... its duplicated. Ive had good pizza there, and good chain pizza copying it, and its not "all" that different, so you started a good thing.
Mad props to chicago for their pizza and wind.
But... no where copys good nyc pizza for ****
