discussion Order your Pizza !!

[HandholdDegen]

I want a banana, pineapple, peanuts, curry, chicken and extra cheese pizza with stuffed cheesy crust with a side of mozzarella sticks and spicy chicken wings.

And a Goblin shortstack to sit on my face while I wait for my order.

I once had an egg on a pizza. It was surprisingly good, though not worth repeating.

A favourite: pesto, feta, zucchini, and after baking it Rucola. Delicious, and a healthy green colour.

Once? Really? I have it all the time, when we make it at home. Best combo for egg on a pizza is classico pizza with ham, cheese and champignons. Otherwise I don't really have a favourite, I try to diversify my pizzas. I also tend to eat different pizzas in different venues. When I eat at some place new, then I eat classico, just so that I can compare the quality. We do love our pizzas in our country.

Edit: Now you made me hungry and my wife agreed, that we will have home made pizza this week.

The egg did add enough to make it a regular thing. I might eat it again, but other choices usually sound tastier in the moment.

4-cheese pizza, rustica, whatever the pizza casa happens to be, seasonal pizza varieties… there are so many choices, and I don’t eat pizza very often.

Eggs are disgusting in any way (other than as an ingredient in bread, etc where you don't taste them.) I gag and would throw up being in the same room where they're cooking. Egg on pizza would be worse than pineapple, but luckily it isn't even listed as a possibility anywhere I've ever been.

Just tomatoes, mozzarella and basil leaves. Over time I've realized that the less ingredients on a pizza, the better.

Well, in our country you can get eggs as a topping in every pizzeria. I guess different people different tastes. But I love me some eggs on my pizza. For me the best way it's done is when the egg white is well done and egg yolk is still runny. Some like it whole runny, some like it well done, but if you just order an egg on a pizza without further specifications, you get it how I like it. Btw, eggs don't really have a smell, if you do smell them when you're in the same room, they went bad and you shouldn't eat them.

Pepperoni and bacon for me

I'm a supersniffer of sulfur compounds. To me a fresh egg cooking smells like what a rotten egg cooking would to most people.

Do you guys have any opinion on pizza-adjacent foods?

I had some tarte flambée recently. It’s basically a very thin dough topped with thick cream, onion, and bacon. (I added feta and some herbs to enhance it.)

"Green Pizza"? That one caught me off guard, I'm not so sure about a "Green Pizza"? But hey, you do you!

Green is a very nice colour for food! Though really, just the sauce is green, and only if you use green pesto. The feta and zucchini are mostly white-ish.

Pizza chains suck. Around where I live, every town of any size (including mine with a population around 1000) has an independent pizza/sandwich shop (often also having full Italian style meals.)
A big thing I noticed starting in the 90s was they reduced the sauce and loaded up on the cheese, so I always ask for extra sauce and light on the cheese. Pizza was better before. Not just that, but you could hold it by just the back crust and it would stick out rather than folding down - didn't have to put a hand under the front part. Also, they didn't even list weird toppings like pineapple and chicken.

I'm from Slovenia, and here, we don't have pizza chains, no Dominos or similar bullshit. But we have a lot of Pizzerias in every city/town, even some small towns with less then 10k people, have restaurants, that serve mainly pizzas. There are just to many different toppings here, to name them all, but the classic one is with Ham, Cheese and Champignons this is called Classico. We also have tuna on pizzas, but mostly when you order a tuna pizza it comes with onions, some other toppings are sea food, minced beef, hot dog sausage, prosciutto etc. In Germany you can also get kebab meat as a topping. Our pizzas cost from 10 to 15€. Small pizzas are around 27 cm in diameter and big ones are around 30 cm. You can also get a "family" size pizza that is around 50 cm in diameter. Btw our pizzas are a lot like Italian pizzas, because our country takes a lot of influence from them, they are our neighbours.

Is this a response to something I said, or are you just adding more info?

Yes, it's a response to your post, where you asked a bunch of questions I tried to answere some off them and then I just added some more info. I didn't want to quote everything from your post, because it would be to much work, so I just wrote a generic post.

 

[MattShizzle]

WTF are champignons?

 

[tigsy]

I once had one with banana, desiccated coconut and Nutella.... It was (much to my surprise) good!
I saw it on the menu and sort of had to order it.

Mushrooms in french and Nordic countries

Mushrooms in french and Nordic countries

Slovenia doesn't have French as an official language, and is quite far from Scandinavia.

Well we call them "šampinjoni". But those mushrooms are know all around Europe.

 

[vozek]

Well, thank you for responding!

But in the future, you might want to let people know that. An easy way to do that is to @ them, and/or just push the "Reply" button. That way they are "notified" someone responded to them, and to them specifically (not just a general post), and so they don't miss the response.

Just trying to be helpful.

Yeah sorry, that was on me, I was just lazy.

 

[Uthuriel]

If you don't mind me asking, but where is that? I have never heard of that either, although it does sound good!

Probably everywhere in central Europa.
