Personally, I'm partial to a thin crust cheese pizza folded and dipped into either hot sauce or ranch. But I also enjoy modest amounts of meat, greens and pineapple.

I love pizza of all shapes sizes and toppings, but if you want to know my favorite β€œyou can only have this from now on” pizza, imma be a basic assed NY style pepperoni pizza bitch…

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Facts. A pepperoni slice is what I judge a pizza place by. If you can't get that right, I don't care what crazy ingredients you shoved on the rest of your pies.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

I do the same thing at diners but with a hot roast beef sandwich. Did you toast the bread? Is the gravy creamy and delicious? Is the roast beef heated on the griddle before serving? It's the brown M&Ms of diner food.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's the platonic ideal of pizza.

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

You could even say it’s…iconic πŸ•

My favorite type of pizza is "nearby and warm," though I'll happily settle for "nearby"

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (7 children)

im just gunna leave this homemade beauty here

its a giordanos reverse engineered deep dish... 2lbs of cheese

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

They said β€œpizza”, not β€œtomato soup bread bowl”…

J/k - looks epic. Sad I didn’t get a chance to try a real Chicago style deep dish pizza on my first trip earlier this year πŸ˜žβ€¦

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (6 children)

its a cracker crust!

to me, this is why pizza is called a 'pie' its a big ol' meat and cheeese pie. theres something weird about the sauce being on top that makes the whole thing work

if you ever get to a state with a giordanos please give it a try, its the epitome of deep dish (imho). i spent a year learning to making a carbon copy after i moved away.

I know Chicago really blurs the line between "deep dish" and straight up "casserole", but this is a whole new level. What even is this? I'm both intrigued and mildly horrified.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Ah man I miss Giordano's. A good reason to go back to Chicago again... Aside from all the other good reasons, anyway.

Thin crust with extra pineapple and nothing else. 😜

No, but seriously, my favorite are the thin-ish crust ones my wife makes with fresh dough, with regular sauce, mushrooms, and olives on it.

[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Back in the day (haven't tried it in over a decade), pizza hut made really good deep dish pineapple pizzas. The crust was crunchy and just shy of being too greasy and I loved it. But I also love pineapple, so.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

I joked about pineapple on pizza before. But honestly, I don't really mind it. Even without ham, a little bit of pineapple tastes okay to me.

[–] misk@sopuli.xyz 8 points 5 months ago

Personally I'm partial to free pizza.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Thin crust, floppy, cheese pizza. Fold it, mash it into my face hole.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago

Just stuff the whole thing in a blender, mix for 30 seconds and drink it.

I like a good buffalo chicken pizza with red onions, slathered in blue cheese

Olives, sundried tomatoes and italian sausage.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago

Medium crust, Hawaiian. Extra onions

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 6 points 5 months ago (5 children)

The best pizza place near me does a goat's cheese, balsamic onion, and rocket one that's absolutely stellar. To be honest though I'm not super fussy about toppings, I like this pizzeria more because whatever you order, they use good ingredients and cook it perfectly

[–] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 months ago

I am indifferent about rocket on my pizza!

A simple NY style slice with extra cheese. Maybe some Buffalo sauce to dip in if I'm feeling fancy

[–] kinther@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hawaiian with jalapeΓ±o and red pepper flakes

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

For me personally, pepperoni better nails the sweet/spicy/savory trifecta a little better than ham, but it's very much in the same ballpark.

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

margherita pizza, followed by trashy pizza.

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

trashy pizza

I’m going to assume you didn’t mean this trashy but I stand by a Totino’s Party Pizza cooked on a Presto Pizzazz Pizza Oven being epically underrated trashy pizza option.

Definitely Chicago style, even if I can only eat it one time a year without my heart destroying itself it's still my favorite

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Caramelized onions, thinly sliced potato, fontina cheese (no tomato, mozz, etc.). I made it among other pizzas for Thanksgiving one year and it was the best by leaps and bounds.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (3 children)

I've been obsessed with prosciutto, asparagus and onion lately but I made an onion, fennel and Italian sausage the other day that was really nice.

Thin crust Italian style pizza, topped with tomato sauce, walnuts, thinly sliced Italian ham, and a mix of gorgonzola and mozzarella chunks. Heaven.

[–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Plain NY slice from the window on the counter. Something about that 2nd heat up really brings the crisp out.

I like a Calzone.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Pineapple pepperoni on a white slice

I will defend this hill with my life

[–] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lahmacun (Turkish Pizza).
The dough is so thin, you roll it up to eat it.

If we're talking absolute favorite, then I'm a Chicago deep dish kinda person. White or pesto sauce, cheese, artichokes, onions, tomatoes, grilled chicken, spinach, bacon, maybe some more meat or veg. Gimme that and a fork and knife and I'll be very happy.

I love greek pizza which is a white pizza with garlic, onions, spinach, feta cheese, and olives. But the place that made that best closed. I also like a bacon cheeseburger pizza, which is just bad for me.

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 4 points 5 months ago

I like the meaty feast ones, particularly spicy ones. In fact, since discovering hot sauce a few years ago, I've been adding it to pretty much all of the pizzas I eat.

If I'm in the right mood, I also do enjoy a good ham and pineapple as well.

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Okay this'll sound strange but hear me out. Red sauce base, kalamata olives, vegan feta, and lots of fresh mint. I've never been fancy enough to make my own pizza dough but when I'm assembling a pizza that's my go-to. It's so good.

I also have an unhealthy mint addiction btw

[–] transientpunk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

I'm glad there haven't been any pervs saying cheese pizza...

I really hope the people below this are just naive, and not actually pedophiles

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

It's me, I'm the perv.

[–] FullOfBallooons@leminal.space 5 points 5 months ago

Perv here. Gimme a plain cheese all day every day!

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Cheese with both hot sauce and ranch, or black olive and pineapple. It's great because no one ever wants to steal any of my pizza.
