They are my opinions, so there!

Pizza should be Italian.

It doesn't matter whether the makers are in New York, Chicago, or London if they, or at least their Mommas, were Italian.

In the Kent seaside town of Broadstairs there used to be a large sign painted two stories high on the side of a restaurant. It read "Canadian Pizza". Why?

Who would be proud of promoting or making Canadian Pizza? Canada has better foods to export to the world than Pizza.

In another Kent seaside town there is an Italian restaurant run by Italians. They do Pizza from Naples. It is so good it is recognised by the Naples Pizza makers association as the ONLY maker of proper Naples Pizza in the United Kingdom. Yet its prices are lower than the national Pizza chain outlet a hundred yards away. I'm not giving the name or town because you already have to book three weeks ahead to have a meal there, and forty-eight hours ahead for a takeaway Pizza.

In a Suffolk village where some of my relations live a Chinese family run the fish and chip shop. Their fish and chips is of reasonable quality for an inland village but their Pizza is good, made in a proper Pizza oven. When Chinese Pizza is better than nationwide chain Pizza, either that Chinese family are doing something right, or the chain is selling crap to drunken customers.

Italian (and Chinese) Pizza is da best!

IMHO:
You are listening to the wrong country music

And Venus Fly Traps are very cool!

Indeed, the wrong country music...

;)

You are both, of course, entitled to your opinions. I have actually come a long way regarding my opinion of country. I will now admit there are a handful of songs I like. There was a time when I loathed the entire genre.

I don't generally get to pick the kind of country I listen to. At work, they have Sirius XM and Mondays are country music. We either hear Y2Kountry or The Highway. So mostly mainstream country from the 80's through today. When I do hear a song I like, more often than not it's the older stuff.

Most of the country I've heard is this whiny cry-in-your-beer crap that sucks the life out of me. This is the stuff that makes me wonder how people could possibly WANT to listen to it. As I said, there are a few I do like, and they're all upbeat tunes. It'll never be something I listen to by preference, but there is the potential to make me not want to kill myself in despair in there somewhere.
 
PS - I used to hate Country Music, but anymore it sounds more like the Rock'nRoll and Folk music that I grew up with...
 
Pizza should be good. I am open to different styles.

In Milano a popular pizzeria is called Spontini's it seeks what we think of as American style pizza, deep pan, lots of cheese. They only sell one toe of pizza, tomato and mozerella. The only other thing they sell is lasagna. You buy your pizza not buy a pizza but by a slice. By approximate weight of a slice. It's covered in toothpicks then wrapped in paper. It's not a thinner, lighter healthier pizza, but it's good. :)

When the dough overwhelms the toppings that is when I stopping liking the pizza. I have now given you my superior foodie view on the world which must be accepted. Yeppers.
 
Once I made the mistake of eating at a Cici's pizza chain. Cardboard slathered in ketchup and Kraft singles would have tasted better.

We have one about 20 minutes from here. I've eaten there a couple times. Not very memorable other than the exotic toppings but I've had worse. They're the only pizza buffet I know of. Considering that it's a buffet I'm not really surprised there isn't much substance to them. They operate on quantity.
 
I'm lusting... Although I'm usually a THIN crust person,,, However, when in Chicago, give me Ginp's Uno or Due. I hear Giordano's is pretty tasty, as well.

I could handle a trip to The Windy City, in the Summer, I think. :D

I could only wish!;)

All you can eat for $5.99 kind of says Something!


OGG - I was only in Italy a few days and was so excited to have pizza. I didn't care for what I had. Of course there are a lot of pizza places so I might have picked a dud!
 
Pizza Laws:

1. Not to exceed 3/16 inch.
2. No fucking pineapple, ever.
3. Ditto bacon.
4. Fresh mozzarella strongly preferred.

I have gone the Cici's. It's a guilty pleasure. Did you know you can order a pizza made with all the toppings you want from the buffet? You just have to ask for what you want for $5.99. My choice is sausage, pepperoni, black olives and mushrooms. My real point is you can order a pizza custom made with any toppings they have on hand. That is kind of cool for the price.

I have gone to Cici's. I liked it for a quick Bite! I don't have one real close.
 
When you see a pizza covered with hamburger and topped with American cheese lettuce and tomato you realize how far along towards extinction real pizza has traveled. The thought of pineapple, pine nuts, beets, on a pizza is cultural blasphemy. :rolleyes:
 
In my opinion, Disney needs to knock it off with the singing in their cartoons/animation. I would enjoy them a lot more.




So there!
