Let's Talk Pizza

[champo]

I love pizza. It’s the far superior sibling of the Italian food family. Pasta is just a bit meh for me.

My go to would be a Neapolitan from a wood fired oven with cheese and tomato base and anything spicy on top. The thinner the better.

I have been toying with the idea of building a pizza oven in the garden for the last year whilst also considering an ooni oven. Haven’t taken the plunge just yet but I love the idea of making my own dough, sauce and creating the perfect pizza. If anyone has experience of built or bought ovens it would be good to know your thoughts.

In terms of pineapple I would be happy to see it on a pizza. In fact, anything that I like I would put on a pizza. I think the Italians are quite narrow minded when it comes to food and not very diverse. Maybe they need to start banging a few different things on their pizzas to shake it up.

Pizza’s from crappy takeaways are just dross.

But a proper stone baked pizza is a lovely thing.

I do too — I just prefer it not on pizza.

If ever there was a need for a thumbs down dislike button …

Neapolitan pizza.

In Glasgow Paesano is the place to go, genuinely on a par with what you'll get in Naples.

In Manchester Rudy's is pretty good.

One of the best vegetarian options for a takeaway, so get it quite often.

Rudy’s is probably the best pizza I’ve had in Manchester. Heard good things about Double Zero in Chorlton too, but not tried it yet.

I love Italian pizza.

Don't like the American thick crust stuff though.

In the UK (or round my way at least) we seem to get much more of the latter.

I only eat Pizza with (fresh) pineapple on it, don’t get the hate, cheese and pineapple on a stick was popular way back when for a reason, it’s a great combination.

Yep. Lends a bit of sweet juiciness to the pizza

Throw on some jalapeños and you got the sweet spicy salty combo :-)
