Patrick Stewart Tweeted this photo of what he claims is the first pizza slice he has ever eaten. Doubtful since he met his girlfriend at a pizza place. In any event, the question is, what toppings are your go to toppings for pizza?
1. Thin crust. 2. Easy on the cheese. 3. Double tomato sauce. 4. Double on the red pepper. 5. Double on all the meats. 6. A little extra cooking to make the underside crispy.
@Freya, it is! I got hooked on that when I used to spend summers with my ex-husband's family in Italy. Sooo good and I agree with the crushed red pepper comment. Gotta have that!
My favourite is spinach and cream pizza from our local Italian here, when I make it myself, fresh tomato sauce with lots of garlic, onions, salami,ham and oregano, or same sauce with tuna, onions and oregano. And cheese, of course.
Must be thin crust because it's just a vehicle for the toppings. Otherwise it's bread. Light tomato, fresh mozzarella, garlic, basil and thanks to Gayeld fucking slivered almonds lightly toasted. We frequently have dinner parties where I prep the toppings and people gather in the kitchen, drinking wine and making their own. It's a great way to share food and time.
I read this on DListed last night and saw it as Capt Picard's first slice of NY pizza, not necessarily pizza. Our local chain makes some awesome pizza - I'm not a vegetarian, but I love their veggie menu when I stray to the carb side.
Mushroom & black olives. Pineapple added occasionally. Pepperoni. All of this is back in the day.
Turriello's pizza in Nyack NY for the GREASE that dripped off the cheese slice that cost a quarter. This was in the halcyon 70s. They are still in business, I believe, so anyone in NY can take a drive to Nyack On The Hudson and get a taste of REAL pizza. I think I last had it about 5-6 years ago. I can't say if it is still the same now, but it was then...
I can't eat pizza any more due to the gluten situation. Will miss it forevermore.
Growing up near Montreal it was "all dressed"-mushroom pepperoni green pepper Where I live now, pizza just isn't the same, so I don't really have a favorite.
It depends. Sausage on a thin, dryer crust. Pepperoni on a deep dish. I also like bacon and red onion, pineapple and canadian bacon, and mushroom and black olive.
Homemade - partial whole wheat crust with olive oil, fresh basil, ripe Roma tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. Ordering a pizza out, I like the supreme no olives. There is a place in Detroit called Bogartz on Mack Ave that has some really great pizza. If your in Sacramento, try Zelda's. It's a different crust, more like pie crust and deep dish. In Sierra Vista AZ, it is definitely Delio's Pizza. In Greenfield, Ma it's Village Pizza on Bank Row the best ever. A little hole in the wall and the beer is kinda flat but the best pizza ever!
I have other recommendations for the towns and cities I've lived in. I love pizza! It's always been my favorite food. I am proud to say that my kids and husband always say I make the best pizza even though I experiment with crusts, sauces and toppings. When ever my youngest comes home for leave from the Marine Corps, he always asks me to make two things: Pizza and Roast Chicken with all the trimmings.
Tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil on a plain crust brushed with olive oil and garlic

Maybe Patrick was a calzone man until now? I like ones like StewMcG described or pizzeria style with plain cheese.
ReplyDeletePineapple! YAY!

ReplyDeleteDayum Gayeld, almonds sound awesome. And here I've been doing just pine nuts.
DeleteI also love broccoli on pizza! Or spinach. I'm a NY purist tho, no pineapples, ugh! :)
ReplyDeleteAs long as it's from NYC, you can't go wrong with whatever toppings you choose. :)
ReplyDelete@lotta- I hear the best NY pizza is cheese.
Delete@FSP- yes
DeleteYessir. The best pizza is from NYC although I politely defer to those who have been to Italy since I never have and cannot compare.
DeleteItalian sausage, green peppers, onions and hot peppers on a thin crispy crust with extra cheese.
ReplyDeleteBroccoli, Spinach, Green & red peppers & crushed red pepper flakes.
ReplyDeleteI read this as "the first time he's ordered a single slice" as opposed to ordering an entire pizza.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have pizza until I was in my teens. My Mom cooked a lot and we didn't do take out or delivery like it is now.
ReplyDeleteMy pizza is just cheese with lots of crushed peppers.
Sausage with onions, garlic and anchovies.
ReplyDelete(Yeah yeah, but they really are good on the right pie)
Pepperoni, bell peppers of any color and pineapple. Crispy, crumbled bacon is good too! And real cheese; the kind that strings waaayyyy out!
ReplyDeletePepperoni with green olives and pineapple - and yes to crushed red pepper!
ReplyDeleteVeggie pizza with mushrooms, green peppers, onions, and black olives.
ReplyDeleteBacon crispy, beef, chorizo, mushrooms, ham and carbonara sauce.
ReplyDeleteIn different pizzas, obviously. They would probably be distasteful altogether.
