The best way to tell how good a pizza is is how it tastes good coming from the fridge. If you can eat fridge-cold pizza and say to yourself "I see no point to microwaving this", you have a good pizza.

Don't you try anything, you baked good you.

[up][up] Microwaving kills pizza,it's pan frying you gotta do to restore it.

Never speak of the two in one sentence again

Hand-tossed, traditional crust. Thin crust is too cracker-ish, deep dish has so much bread it misses the point.

I personally prefer the pan fried crust.

I think there are merits to both, it really depends on my mood at the time. I have always had difficulty understanding people who leave the crust behind.

I usually don't eat the leftover crust because most of the time it's way too floury to enjoy.

I occasionally eat the crust, I occasionally don't. When I do, its out of sheer absent-mindedness. I eat my way through the slice and forget that there's a crust, and eat that too. As soon as I am aware of the fact that the crust is being masticated, I stop. tongue

I usually eat the crust, but I don't eat the Tombstone frozen pizza crust.

Tombstone is an odd name for a pizza brand...

The world on the other side of the ocean is weird. tongue

Oh! A question to US tropers;

Is Chicago known for its pizzas?

We have a brand of pizzas in supermarkets called "Chicago Town Pizza". They're pretty good.

Chicago is well known for its pizzas, yes. So is NYC.

Unless the crust ring ("pizza bones", my family calls them) is too dry, I'll eat it. If I have dipping sauce, I'll put the outer crust in it.

The one time I had Chicago Style pizza, I hated it, but that might be mainly because the sauce was spicy and sour.

There is a brand of frozen Pizza over here called "Chicago Town". I like them. Particularly the deep dish individual microwave ones with the fancy wee metallized trays that they get cooked on.

The metallised trays are so damn useful. It sucks when regular pizza gets stuck to the plate, but Chicago Town have the trays which make it so much easier.

As I know it New York seems to be like Italian Pizza,but bigger and a little more emphasis on the crust.

Chicago style is mostly Deep-Dishes,they seem to put a greater focus on the tomato than anything else (of course that might just be how Zachary's operates and that's my only local Chicago style pizzeria around)

I don't think I've ever had Chicago-style pizza. I should rectify this.

Is it more or less like "New York style?"

It's definitely a bit different as I know it,but it's probably nothing compared to like the differences between lets say something from Calabria, and something from Lombardia since it seems Italy changes even more than England or America culturally and dialectically.

Well, Italy was unified from a bunch of smaller city-states. At the time of unification, the "Italian" spoken in the northern regions was so different from the "Italian" spoken in the south that a North Italian and a South Italian wouldn't have understood each other.

What he said.

And Sicily may as well have been it's own country, from what my mother told me.

Whats everybody's favorite pizza-themed food? (hot pockets, pizza rolls, etc) Mine would have to be Bagel Bites.

@ Mukora. From what I know, Sicily - to this day - is treated differently from mainland Italy in administrative terms (unlike French Sicily, which is treated like Metropolitan France). It might as well be its own sovereign state. And Italy is still a divided state. People are more likely to see themselves as Florentine, or Venetian, than Italian.

[up] I like pitta pizzas. The base is made of pitta, with the tomato sauce, and eventually, the cheesy topping.

I agree on pita pizzas. Also, I prefer Frescheta frozen pizzas. Something about their pizzas' flavors just clicks with me.

Bagel Bites, although ever since I moved from the US 10 or so years ago, I've never been able to get them. I've always wondered if they still existed or if they still used that old pizza-in-the-morning commercial. Back when advertising was cool and not annoying.

I'm not sure if they even have advertisements anymore. I don't see anything for them on TV.
