When you order a pizza, which of the following is most important to you?

[TK421]

If I left out any options, let me know. For me, it's the sauce since I've had sauce on pizza that was either too sweet or too grainy.

[Danger Mouse]

1. other...a combination of all things.

i'm sorry, a pizza fails if one of the components is bad.
lousy crust? lousy pizza.
rubbery cheese? lousy pizza.
nasty sauce? lousy pizza.
crappy toppings? lousy pizza.

[TK421]

2. I've had all four of those n/t

[Danger Mouse]

3. an attempted 'pizza' by somebody who has never had a new york style?

[TK421]

6. No...I've had New York pizza.

It's just that we don't have the greatest pizza joints in this area

[Danger Mouse]

8. That's what I meant. I used to live in Baltimore, and let me tell you..

they make great crab cakes, but their pizza sucks. :puke:

[TK421]

18. I know about their crab cakes, but isn't there another popular food

Baltimore is famous for? I want to say there is, but can't think of it

[HopeHoops]

4. That it shows up HOT and isn't stuck to the top of the box!!!!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

5. The crust is the single most critical part of a pizza.

Obviously not the most glamorour, but the most important.

It's like a sports car. It doesn't matter how big your engine is, or how good your transmission is, if you haven't got a good set of tires, you haven't got a good car.

Same thing with buns and hamburgers.

7. the crust and the sauce, cheese is kind of hard to screw up. Anyhow all the pizza

here sucks large ones so the only time i ever get is from the supermarket, they have an in house brand that's good, barring that i eat ii when i visit back east. Life os too short for bad pizza. And Pizza hit, i don't what the hell is in that sauce but it gave me the worst agida i ever had in my entire life.

[Danger Mouse]

9. I have had pizza where the cheese WAS the problem.

It was the only decent pizza place in Baltimore, but the cheese they used was awful...meaning even they couldn't rise above high end mediocre.

[AlCzervik]

11. probably cheese from a bag, i used to buy pre shredded but it always seems dried out.

my bil is an Italian food importer and i thought he was going to smack me upside the head when he saw a bag of it in the fridge, needless to say i buy it whole at the deli and shred it myself now.

10. All are important, but soggy crust is the worst.

[TK421]

12. Pizza Hut has soggy crust....I can't stand that stuff

[JVS]

27. If you are in Chicago, go to Lou Malnalti's (it's a local chain, so it's all over)

If you eat their pizza, you will understand what Pizza Hut was trying to do with their Pan Pizza crust. Of course PH can't pull it off.

[TK421]

31. Interesting...if I'm ever out there I will look them up!

[KamaAina]

13. That it's Monday night

Papa John's here has "Monday Madness": a one-topping medium for six bucks and change. Carryout only, but it's maybe two blocks away.

Alas, the next Monday holiday is Memorial Day. I tried stopping off on the way home from work once, but that whole area gets kind of crowded, and then there was a line. :(

[Forkboy]

14. That it arrives.

:D

[BeachBaby]

15. The recipe has to be from Philly or NYC.

Otherwise, it just ain't pizza.

[TK421]

16. Preach it, sista!

:toast:

19. Right coast elitist!

Midwest props for Chicago style!

[BeachBaby]

20. Oh no you didn't.

You didn't just say Chicago, did you?

TAKE. IT. BACK. :spank:

Btw - nice ass. :hide:

[KamaAina]

21. Tack on New Haven

and possibly Boston. Theirs tends toward the oily, though: according to reports, it is poossible to order extra oil, as though it were extra cheese!

[TK421]

17. I'm surprised I'm not seeing more votes for the sauce here?

Has anyone had truly hideous sauce on their pizza?

[Drunken Girlfriend]

22. I like thin crust

This was actually a hard question for me to answer,
and it required some thought! lol

Anyways,my vote was for the crust.

I don't like pizza that is too doughy,so I always order
pizza from places that have the thin crust.

I also like pizza places that don't skimp on the
toppings.

Dominos is my favorite place to order from,
if I were to order pizza.

[TK421]

23. I've also had pizza that was burnt....

that REALLY pissed me off! How the hell do they do that?

[Lucian]

24. Crust.

I don't care about the cheese, because whenever I order a pizza, I order it without cheese. I'm not picky about the sauce either. :shrug:

[Initech]

25. The taste!!!

You can make a pizza and it can suck, but a good pizza is worth its weight in gold.

[Xipe Totec]

26. What I want to know, is why don't they make asparragus pizza?

[TK421]

32. Those are....odd looking asparagi...

almost like....nevermind, I'm sure it's just me

[XemaSab]

28. Tomnbstone me now, Skinner

29. Toss up between crust and sauce - if either is bad, the whole pizza is ruined.

[MajorChode]

30. They must have a delivery person with a white penis

[TK421]

33. You don't think they would need a tip, do you?

:D

[MajorChode]

37. If they have a white penis, they already have everything they need

[flvegan]

34. Sauce makes the pizza.

[blue_onyx]

35. The sauce

I don't like it when there is tons of sauce on a pizza.

[vixengrl]

36. It's gotta be the crust--

the best pizza I had was at Mamma's (not my "Mamma", that's the name of the restaurant) in Calabria. The crust was thin, light, a little bubbly, cooked through so it isn't mushy or sloppy, but just firm and thick enough to stand up to the toppings. What I didn't get, and which is all too common at bad pizza places here in the states, was bready, dry, or doughy. Luckily, I live in Philadelphia. We have good pizza, you just have to know where to go.
