Pizza is love, pizza is life.

Pizza, however, in my book, is one of those foods that have an upper threshold on how good they are. I have had some really good pizza, but nothing that has changed my life

    Oh, geez, I saw a slightly brown leaf of lettuce. Guess I’d better throw the whole salad away and heat up a corn dog or three.

    IMO the only limiting factor for pizza’s ability to change lifes is that it’s pretty hard to make a great pizza at home.

    Though it’s also life-changing if you get fat from deep-freeze or delivery pizza …

      i see this sentiment a lot and it fucking baffles me, the only hard part about making pizza is making the dough, and you can generally just… buy the dough ready-made…

      at least here in sweden pizza kits (pre-rolled-out dough and a jar of tomato sauce) are a bog standard thing in stores and you just top them with whatever you like, and it always comes out perfectly fine and tasty as fuck, the bottom browns fine too!

      it’s not particularly more difficult than making spaghetti and meatballs…

        I’ve had quite a few home-made pizzas, and while most of them were alright, none of them tasted remotely similar to pizzeria pizza. Maybe the issue was that most of them were made with home-made dough, but I assume the real issue is that a standard consumer oven isn’t at all similar to a pizzeria oven.

          Most of the time, the issue is indeed the oven. Sure, you can mess up your dough (or worst, use store bought one) but the culprit is likely not the innocent pizza itself.

          i mean yeah sure it doesn’t taste the same, but it tastes really fucking good and i don’t see why it has to taste exactly like restaurant pizza

        It seems to me like a thread about pizza would likely be a good thread to ignore as a vegan rather than going out of your way to poo poo others culinary choices.

        In any case, Cheese Board also makes a super decent vegan pie daily.

          essentially responding with “live and let live” with zero irony. also, I didn’t mention veganism but I wonder if your response would have been anything like this had I said something more along the lines of: all dairy is life changing as it is massively contributing to climate change

    It’s a chain, but Pizza Bolis has a crab pizza that’s really good. Before anyone gets the wrong idea, it’s white sauce based.

    Unfortunately i have spent thousands because I have suckled upon that upper limit.

    Some guy named franko opened a pizza shop at the end of my street. Got pissed off with the locals and closed his doors a couple of years later.

    I’ve tried in vain to make it as good as his.
