Subject: Re:Pizza companies and the B.S they came up with
Back when I used to live with some mates we had this on-going competition, that anytime one of the junk food chains came out with a new food one of us had to eat it. Hungry Jack's (Burger King to everyone else) had some pretty foul stuff, especially that quad burger thing, but no company could compete with the foul crap that Domino's released.
There was the double base pizza, where you got a pizza with sauce, but with another base on top of that, then more sauce, then your ingredients, then your cheese. Then they did a similar thing with the double cheese pizza, where you got a layer of cheese sauce (we think it was, it was yellow and kind of smelled like cheese), then base, then more ingredients, then actual cheese.
That wasn't enough, though, and then Domino's released the triple cheese pizza. This had that cheese sauce stuff, then another base, then what we think was cream cheese (it was whiter than the other sauce, but it smelled the same), then another base, then ingredients, then some actual cheese. My unfortunate mate Southee ended up ordering this thing. When he picked up a piece cheese oozed out from every opening in the weird triple base thing, and it never stopped coming out. When he bit into it, he told us he chewed and chewed but the cheese never changed shape or texture.
He seems mostly the same, but for those of us that know, we can't help but see something different in the man. He talks more about dying, and what the good times used to be. And sometimes when we're all hanging out and the laughter dies down you can see a look in his eyes, like wants to back, to a time before triple cheese pizza.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Some pies don't, but, still, chicago style is not a pie.
Unless you buy into the whole "pizza pie" thing, then ALL pizza is pie.

That amazing pizza pie has been pizza for what, four or five times longer than Britain has even had pizza? You guys didn't get pizza delivery service until at least the 80s, did you?
Seriously though, it's amazing. It's the same ingredients as other pizzas, just in somewhat different proportions and shape. Don't knock it until you've tried it. Seriously.

PapaPiggy wrote:Now we all remember when the pizza companies came out with this whole big deal about a bag that they put the boxes in, it keeps the pizza hot so when you get it, its twice as good. I don't know about you guys, but when I order food, its because I am hungry and didn't want to cook. Now with that being said, I ordered a pizza, it takes them 45 mins to get it to me, and when it comes i have to wait for another 20 mins to be able to eat it and enjoy. The whole point to this is the sheer fact that some idiot a couple years back decided that a pizza should come out of a 10 thousand degree oven, be driven across town and be hotter than it was when they cooked the damn thing. Now I ask my fellow fat men and women who when they open up the pizza box take a slice and want to eat it, SHOULD WE REALLY HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER HALF A DAMN HOUR TO EAT IT? COME ON!!

Since I live in a tiny stupid country, and in the middle of nowhere in that tiny stupid country we have no big pizza chain companies like Pizza Hut or Dominos here. What we do have is a small local Italian restaurant, run by an actual Italian! He makes some of the best pizzas ever. <3

Pizza should be a flat piece of tasty bread with sauce and topping on it. Once again America has turned a classic food into a marketable product. +1 for capitalism!
It's pizza but thicker, what is the problem?

I can see the creamcheese and bacon. I sometimes get a toasted bagel with creamcheese and bacon and thats pretty good. My gf introduced it to me a few years ago.
A lot of the mom and pop pizza shops in my area have an interesting twist to their pizza sauce. There is a tiny hint of curry in it. It's not too bad, but could be better if they had better crust or toppings.

I had a pretty bad pizza the other day, but it was still better than anything I could have cooked. I need to visit New York so I can try Grimaldi's pizza as I hear it's the best.

Domino's just sent me an email for any pizza, any size £9.99, why do they do this to me? I love Domino's for their toppings, they always pile the stuff sky high and their cheese is my favourite by a mile.

Maybe EA scanned my hard drive with Origin and passed the info onto Domino's.
