After reading this therad, I now have an overwhelming desire to eat pizza until I pass out.

Papa John's actually recently started doing a stuffed crust and it's pretty good, it has a slight hint of garlic in the crust like Domino's, but not as powerful.

For me, regarding stuffed crust only it's Pizza Hut > Papa John's > Domino's. Pizza Hut just can't be beaten when it comes to specialty crusts, their stuffed crust and cheesy bites are to die for.

Heh, when I came home from Ireland I fancied a pizza, so I wandered up to the local Pizza Hut and ordered a farmhouse. I wanted to try stuffed crust, even though it was just me there and I'm not a big eater. So I ordered the 16". Woah. Lotta pizza. Of course, they have a "buy one, get one free" on all pizza that is collected, so I felt obligated to get a BBQ steak as well.

I ate pizza every meal for two days.

And yet, I could still go for a slice right now. The only cure for pizza overdose is more pizza.

I'm pretty hungry right now and all this pizza talk is cruel and unusual torture. I wish pizza wasn't so expensive in the UK or I'd have it a lot more often.

That tears it, I'm ordering Chinese!

Just wait for the pizza to cool off, man.

I can't stand Papa John's, Domino's, or any of the other national chains. They just aren't good compared to local pizza places. If you're ever in Charlotte, check out Mario's, Wolfman, or Palone's. All are superior to national chains.

Ah, you're one of those people.

1. Chain pizza can still be damn tasty. But as with all food, fresh, well-made, and quality ingredients always win. And chains (as a rule) don't invest in quite the best stuff.
2. BBQ chicken, jalapeno, pineapple sounds damn amazing.
3. Chicago and NY pizza are both great in different ways.
4. I can easily picture FITZZ as a pizza shop manager, whether I picture him as himself or Captain Spaulding.

5. "Three Cheese for Captain Spaulding" nearly won the thread....

6. Except this won it fair and square and good and hard:

Waaah! My pizza takes too long to get to me and it's HOT and I BURNED MY MOUTH because I'm too unobservant to notice!
PITY ME!

I've never eaten pizza before I met my fiancé, yeah, there's pizza in russia, it's just, I've never had it. I grew tired of mcdonalds, and this was before I moved to america. I usually just go to little caesars and pick up their pizzas on the way home, I've never had a problem with them.

She's Lorenzo's daughter and she stepped out of the kitchen without permission.

I refuse to believe that the OP's post is real, it MUST be satire.

It was a Saturday night and sometimes you REALLY have to fight to get a slice.

My fav pizza is Jets. Damn, they make the best square pizza ever

Agreed. And, I'd extend this to every type of restaurant. If its got more than 5 locations, don't go there expecting good food. Cheap food that's served quickly, yes. Good food that's healthy, no.

You missed the part where he mentioned it's in Philly. Everyone in Philly either already has a black eye, or is in the process of getting one.

It's a very angry city.

I'm sure the day will come when I no longer have the financial capability to spend gratuitous amounts of money on pizza, but until that day I will steer well clear of you riff-raff and your sub-par pizza chains.

Philly has its own kind of angry, though it is mostly directed toward fans of sports teams from other cities.

Pizza wise, I mostly dont order. Go to some locale places or a place that apparently has a location in brooklyn (delicious coal pizzas, no delivery though!).

If I do order though, pizza hut. Most likely meat lovers. Stuff crust sometimes. Good enough to keep me satisfied while I spend all day playing video games or doing non important stuff

If I really feel like I'm gonna go cheap, I'll pick a few pizzas (either warm or frozen) from costco. I'm a simpleton, not Gordon Ramsey!

I weep for those who have never experienced the sheer awesomness that is Hungry Howie's Pizza. Because if you have, you wouldn't be talking about any other chains.

My main gripe with many pizza joints is that they place the toppings under the cheese. So instead of toasted meats and veggies to bring out their flavor you get burned cheese and raw vegetables.

If they're putting the toppings under the cheese, and the toppings are coming out raw, they're just using too much cheese

I really don't get all this 'flavoured crust' nonsense (and what in the name of feth is butter cheese?) either: If a pizzas main selling point is that the crust tastes of something, it's being made wrong.

I’m not a fan of the pizzas from the big chains like Dominoes and Pizza Hut. They never put enough topping, use cheap ingredients and are usually too greasy.

I like to make my own pizzas or buy from a local pizza place.

OTOH, the best pizzas all have crust which is delicious all by itself too, because the bread and the seasoning is so good. I love the (is it Greek-style) ones some good places do with a semi-crispy crust with sesame seeds. To die for.

Pah! Their anger toward teams from other cities is nothing compared to their anger toward their own teams. Or really anyone inside one of their stadiums. This is the City That Booed Santa.

It is a great book. A friend of mine gave it to me years and years ago; he loved it so much that he said "I have to give this to you, as long as you promise to read it and pass it on to another convert." The pizza deliery section at the beginning is just one of many great parts.

Have you read any of his other stuff? I love Cryptonomicon too; and I even found The Baroque Cycle worth the time investment.

It pleases me to know that the Vikings had a hand in making Philadelphia boo Santa.

Hey, you sit there and watch some (allegedly) drunk, skinny, nasty-looking Santa while sitting in the cold and snow watching your team lose a late season game that doesn't matter.... Hey You ARE a Minnesota fan... Now that you have NcNabb this can actually happen.

And Mann.... thats not always anger..... some of that is Pride.

Where are my stonner brethren to lend me a hand on this topic? Its about half past 4:00, your starting to get hungry, you order a pizza with your last bit of money. You get it and eat it. After about 2 hours you realize you can't taste any thing and your mouth is burned and bloody. Come fight with me for this cause.

Goddamned dopeheads, go back to Frisco!

I keep looking at the Baroque Cycle--but it intimidates me--I'm afraid to get drawn into 8 or so books! I'll probably give it a go after this semester.

Give the first volume a go when you get some time. If it hooks you, it hooks you. For me I think where I got hooked was pretty early in, with Isaac Newton in college.
