Social acceptability of putting condiments on pizza

[Hobie-wan]

Another vote for the 'no' camp from me. In fact, I was on another forum the other day where people were discussing the acceptibility of putting egg on their pizza before they cook it. egg!

Saw a display with a raw egg on pizza in Japan too. My friends got one with a 'soft boiled' egg on it that was basically raw too.

You guys haven't had pizza until you've tried Gino's East's sausage patty deep dish pizza.



Yes, that is a layer of sausage covering the entire pizza in there.

Yes! Another Gino's East fan.

I have a dynamite copycat recipe for this. The crazy thing is how expensive the hardware can be. I prefer to use a cast iron skillet, but the super wide and deep ones run a ton. A cheaper option is to buy a deep dish pan that is meant for feeding horses (I'm not kidding) that costs a fraction of the price.

These have probably been mentioned numerous times, but the acceptable "condiments" to put on a pizza are generally spices and such, like pepper, salt, red pepper flakes, parsley, garlic, grated cheese, ect. I'd say hot sauce is a good addition to pizza too.

On rare occasions I have been known to dip pizza in ranch dressing, but I never go out of my way to do it.

I prefer New England-style pizza personally (anyone who has ever eaten at the legendary Pepe's Pizza should know what I'm talking about), but I certainly do have a soft spot for deep dish Chicago-style pizza.

im not much for the Chicago deep dish pizza's. not so say they are horrible i just really dislike having the sauce on top. although i have to say a disc of just pure sausage sounds just too awesome to pass up.

As someone who has grown up in a Sicilian Family (My fathers side are migrants) this topic has scared the crap outta me.

I guess I should have warned everyone about my mushroom pizza.

sounds like fun!

actually i always wondered why people get angry about a food that 95% of people seem to love. sure there is a great different way to make them, but just because you enjoy one style doesn't mean you have to hate every other style. pizza is the ultimate food. it's the food for parties, for get togethers, it's the food for when your drunk from a college party and need something fast in your stomach before all hell breaks loose, it's like comfort food that can contain most of the basic food groups. pizza has probably been there when you suffered from depression, or when you got in a car accident! pizza has been there to watch over your kids when you couldn't, help you when you were in financial trouble, even be there for something as simple as play video games with you. lets face it pizza is everyone's best friend...so why be mean to him?

Count me in. I've had it several times when my brother was going for his MBA at U of Chicago. Good stuff, hardens your arteries though.

Please post your recipe. I have one as well that I'll try to scan/post.

Hmm, I don't consider it to New England style. I consider greek style pizza (the kind that is baked in a pan and has a sponge like texture to be New England style. The reason is that it seems to be all over the place. Although I love greek food and feta cheese, I don't care for the crust.

Don't get me wrong but Pepe's is excellent and is one of the best but I consider it to be New Haven style. A tip for those who don't want to wait in Pepe's lines is to go to "The Spot" which is run by the same people but it has a different ambiance. It's behind Pepe's.

On the topic of hot sauce, my favorite is Cholula.
