Pizza
What is your favourite kind of pizza? We all like Panago pizza - except my husband that is. He likes the "Greek restaurant" type of pizza with two inches of toppings.
My very favourite is spinach and feta. I cannot eat those Greek style pizzas with the thick toppings. To me an inch thick wad of greasy slimy some kind of salami does not agree with me. I can eat half a slice and then I can tell, if I take one more bite I am going to throw up - literally!
Do you like thick crust or thin crust - thick topping or thin toppings?
I bought a pizza peel to use with my pizza stone. That allows you to put the stone in the oven and heat it up and make the pizza on a wooden paddle - then you slide it off onto the hot stone and it makes a wonderful pickupable brown crust!
Give me some ideas of good things to put on pizza.
I was going to post a poll but I can't figure out how to do it. There is a box at the bottom that says post poll, but when I check it - it doesn't do anything. Never mind!

Re: Pizza
I love anything with feta cheese. We get either Panago or Domino`s pizza. Often half and half, ham and pineapple one side, beef and onion and feta the other. Spinach and feta is also a favourite with us. Unfortunately, it`s a rare treat these days, have to watch the diet. Oh, and thin crust is my favourite.

Re: Pizza
I heard pizza was good for you - you have all the food groups -- spinach is excellent for you -- so go ahead and indulge!

Re: Pizza
Delissio Deluxe. My mouth's watering just thinking of one.
Thick crust and thick toppings.
Pepperoni, Roast Chicken, Tuna, and Cheese. Try it and see, it's one of my favourites.
Never posted one here but if it's anything like other forums I've been on, you check the box and click Post, and it takes you to another page where you can choose your poll options.
If it's different on here then hopefully someone will correct me.

Karma to Lizwil for starting a non controversial thread
I like thin and crispy, with goats cheese and spinach and garlic and mushrooms.
A salad and some mayo to dunk the crust in
A glass of red wine
yummy

Re: Pizza
I've heard that artichoke - those kind in the jars are good, but I have to admit I am a bit sceptical. Anyone tried pizza on a barbecue?
I must admit I wouldn't want pizza every day - but now and then is good. I don't care for meat much on pizza. As I said - that thick meat kind I haven't had for years since I ate some and then had to run to the bathroom and throw up. I think heated up salami etc. is just too greasy for me.
Goat cheese sounds good - have to try that!

Re: Pizza
My favourite two pizzas in the UK were:
1. parma ham, rocket and parmesan shavings on a crispy thin crust (from the Zizzis chain)
2. stuffed cheese crust, barbeque sauce, extra cheese, pepperoni and pineapple from Pizza Hut.
(Incidentally, the second one of those set off my gallstones into spasm and the bloomin things had to come out after that. Now, I can no longer eat that amount of cheese in one go

Re: Pizza
Boston Pizza - the Popeye (spinach, garlic, but i take out the feta!) Definitely healthy - spinach for iron, and garlic's good for the heart!
I also miss sweetcorn on pizza - haven't found anywhere yet where it's a topping. Tried making my own at home - heating element is on bottom of oven - bottom of pizza burnt to a crisp. Any advice?

Re: Pizza
Cheers Steve,
Oven rack is as high as it goes, but the pizza stone sounds like it might be the way to go.

I must say I like the sound of the Popeye I love spinach but hate feta.
