mspart Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 When I was in college, we ate Dominos because it was so cheap. After a while, we got sick of how bad it was and stopped buying. I hadn't bought Dominos for decades after because of that. Then my kids said it was good and so I tried it and it was much better. But now, it is just too greasy and lacking in toppings, it is getting back to those old cardboard days. Their stock tumbled recently, makes me wonder if others are similarly affected. mspart

mspart Posted February 22, 2023 Author Posted February 22, 2023 Papa Murphy's is pretty good. No too much grease. In fact, we later found a place called Papa Aldo's (which merged with Papa Murphy's or became that), funny you mention that. mspart

I can't stomach (ha!) the idea of paying $30 per pizza for Round Table or their ilk. Costco pizza will do in a pinch.

We're lucky in Upstate NY as far as pizza is concerned. You can almost always find good mom & pop pizza joints even in small towns. Even, PA, Joisey, and even CT. About the only good thing you can say about any of the chains is that you know what you're gonna get.
mspart Posted February 22, 2023 Author Posted February 22, 2023 Yeah, we have no real mom and pop shops here in the PNW. True. mspart
mspart Posted February 22, 2023 Author Posted February 22, 2023 Lots of Mom and Pop Thai food, and Italian food etc. But no mom and pop pizza food. mspart
BerniePragle Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 Everywhere has plusses and minuses. Food, parks, weather, entertainment, jobs, education, cost of living, etc. Choices have to be made.
Plasmodium Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 If you want real pizza, go to Chicago. :)

jross Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 Papa Murphy's Cowboy pizza is the best for self bakers, mom/pop Chicago style is the best when going out, and that thin-crusted New York style belongs in the trash bin with all forms of margherita pizza. We started making our own mini pizzas on the bbq from scratch with fresh ingredients.... its the actual best. 1

Follow instructions like this... use self rising dough to shorten the prep time... https://findingtimeforcooking.com/main-dishes/best-grilled-pizza-dough-recipe/
headshuck Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 Looks so good. My wife is sensitive to gluten so most gluten crusts are awful. Cauliflower crusts are tolerable. 1

Only tourists and business clients go for deep dish. Vito & Nicks and Barnaby's come to mind. But if you do make the decision to ruin your waistline, Lou Malnati's is the best deep dish. i am an idiot on the internet
mspart Posted February 24, 2023 Author Posted February 24, 2023 I heard a joke. Comedian comes to a small town and says he saw a "New York Style pizza place there. That's really funny because when I was in New York last time I saw a (say little town's name such as Duluth) style pizzeria there. Is that funny? Did I pronounce it correctly? Pizzeria, that's how you say it right?" mspart

mspart Posted February 24, 2023 Author Posted February 24, 2023 Chicago pizza sucks. Period. I've never been to Chicago so I should know. Actually this thread has taken on a life I did not expect. Very good posts here and all very informative for the most part. mspart 1
