Mixed flavors of pizza topping and the preferences of man/woman preferences.

Deep dish combo, light on the onions, crispy cheese for the win. Filling, substantial, and plenty left over for later.

What exactly does Navy not like about pizza? It can be made to suit the liking of most anyone.

lol love the title.

I generally like my pizzas simple. Thick chewy crust, not that waffer-theen (spelling as pronounced in monty python) crap some pizza places have that has the consistency and taste of cardboard ><;; sauce, cheese, and a lot of pepperoni, nuthin' more.

However, down the street from my university's main campus there's this AWESOME pizza place that has some of the most unorthodox pizzas I've ever heard of (i.e. seafood casino. Normally I'd never think of putting seafood on a pizza, but this is AWESOME. white pizza of course, no sauce), and they just taste phenomenal *mouth waters*

Navy, you're the first person I've met who doesn't like pizza in any way, shape, or form. I find it interesting. *seconds NV's question*

I looooove me some thin crust pizza. And as you all know I hate red sauce on it. However... places that skimp on it are good. Like Sbarro pizza places. Give me a slice of their pepperoni pizza and a sprinkle of garlic powder and I'm all set.

A place near here called Pavones does that. Thin crust, lots of pepperoni and cheese and very little sauce. It's that yummy folding kind of pizza.

There is a place here called Pastabilities that has a tomato oil that makes you reach that level of food-gasm goodness. Its like God mixed olive oil but with the taste of tomatoes and garlic. I have no clue how they make it but they could pour it on pizza and I'd be a happy camper.

I know Navy doesn't like melted cheese, so that could be why he doesn't like pizza.

I wouldn't be able to go on in life without it.

Something else to ponder: My non-Italian friends don't use Parmesan cheese. Even when they make things like lasagna and baked ziti. My brother said the same of his friends.... whats up with that? Do you guys use it?

Well there are pizzas out there without cheese on them (pizza place mentioned in my above post makes an AWESOME "Greek Pizza." it has feta on it, but the feta's not melted. ok now I'm missing that place again ><;;) Or you could ask for a red pizza with no cheese if that's the case. Unless he's tried that and still doesn't like it...

Parmesan cheese is a must (but then I am part Italian.) However, the bf is zero-percent Italian and he loves parm cheese, so does his whole non-Italian family. I guess it depends on the people. Or the area maybe *vague shrug* dunno. What do they use instead?

Supervisor: "oh look, it's snowing."
Me: "no fucking WAAAAAY!"

GAH!!! It better not snow a LOT -_-

The lil italian one is right NVG, tis the cheese mainly. Almost everywhere has cheese on everything. I guess I could order them without cheese, but over here it seems like pizza aint pizza without cheese. I get some horrible looks if I order without it.

When I was in italy though the pizza place I helped out in for a while had a whole bunch of cheeseless pizza on their regular menu... so I suppose it's not so weird. Those pizzas were fantastic I must admit, so... ok, I dont like conventional american style pizza the likes you might get from dominos or pizza hut and stuff.

as for the parmesan cheese, I know people that use it here. No one would think it unusual to do so.

I HATE chain store pizza! Especially Pizza Hut. I'm happy to be from an Italiany neighborhood with a pizza place everywhere.

I suppose cheeseless pizza doesn't seem like that much of a crime. If theres like a bruchetta (sp) veggie thing on it or something, that would be yummy. Maybe I will have to see if they have good pizza here now...

But yeah when I'm at my friends house I have to ask for parm, they don't use it. Crazies.

It's snowing here too, but bad. It's all dark and the wind is blowing and the snow is all "RAAAR IMA EAT YOUR CAR UP!!!"

Real Italian pizza, like many other old world dishes, are mostly a carb base with whatever is handy. Cheese is used sparingly like meat is used sparingly in real Chinese dishes. I thinks we may have to consult with MSA on a pizza specifically for ya Navy. Its good to have dishes with most of what one needs and lacking stuff one doesn't like. Parmesan cheese is so good for adding a deeper cheese flavor without adding gobs more melted cheese. Mmm.

Oh, and Mountain Dew Throwback is in my region for a limited time. It is Dew made with sugar rather than the normal corn syrup crap. Tastes like it did when I was little.

Yum freakin' yum!

I like tons of cheese on my pizza. A nice thick crust is good too.

If I get pizza from the store it's usually the digorno oven rising crust extra cheese style. Mmmmm american style bastardized pizza. Yummy
