Pizza
Just curious really, as I'm not a massive pizza fan. Since the regular cheese here is relatively bland compared to regular cheddar in the UK, do you think it affects the flavour? The sauce base only goes so far.
Another odd thing in the land of pizza is I've never seen a supermarket with a create-your-own pizza deli counter, like is common in the UK where you take the pizza home to cook. Freshly made in-store (allegedly) yes; made on demand with the ingredients you specify, no. There must be some chains that do, presumably. |

We have a chain in our area (not sure if they are nation wide) called Papa Murphy that do the made to order take and bake. This is a stand alone store not in a supermarket.
Most of the frozen pizzas I don't like but in my opinion, the Safeway brand is the best and also the lowest price and better than their fresh uncooked pizza which is about double the price. |

Re: Pizza
I've only ever used mozzarella cheese on pizzas. I always thought the flavour should come from the other toppings, including a really good sauce and crust.

Re: Pizza
Papa johns, Papa Murphy. In store Winco has an in house where you can select your toppings (thin). For an extra dollar they will cook it for you. Better yet take it home and add more cheese.:thumbsup:

Yah, I think it'll be very hard to find cheddar except possibly in minimal amounts on any pizza in the US.

Re: Pizza
Best thing we ever did on the pizza front was to buy a pizza stone. We now eat gorgeous, thin, crispy tasty pizzas that are low in salt and fat and far better than pretty much anything we can get delivered (or via the supermarket). Still enjoy restaurant pizzas (coal-fired brick ovens and all that) from time to time, but for pizza at home our home-made ones really can't be beat.

Re: Pizza
My husband really likes Mod Pizza. We have had a store open near us recently (he has one down the street from his office in Seattle) I don't think the taste is fantastic, but we both really like the thin base as opposed to the thick bread base on most pizzas.

I'm generally not a fan of Pizza Hut, Dominos etc due to the questionable ingredients that one tends not to have at home. That and they're stingy on toppings :) That said, I do occasionally get the hot'n'ready pepperoni from Little Caesars purely for the convenience and price rather than any expectation of decent food. |
Re: Pizza
I don't think I have ever had mind-blowingly good pizza until I moved to San Francisco - 22 years wasted on subprime pizza I guess - so I guess I take a different stance on the use of milder cheeses used in the US. Especially with a good Neapolitan style margherita where I think the extra boldness would throw the balance off.
