The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Objection.

Facts not in evidence.

My bad; I will rephrase my statement:

Detroit-style pizza is maybe my least-favorite, with the square crust and burnt cheese. "The burned cheese is the best part!" folks will say, and I honestly hope that's not true because otherwise there's no redeeming it. But it's still a flat, open-faced baked pie of Italian origin, consisting of a thin layer of bread dough topped with spiced tomato sauce and cheese, often garnished with anchovies, sausage slices, mushrooms, etc., and still an excellent choice if you're in Detroit and craving a zesty flatbread.​

I was just curious.

For these purposes, perhaps Wikipedia is sufficient.

Though, with that, I must admit that the absolute worst pizza I've ever had, I had in Rome.
And that's including school lunch pizza in my estimation.

If you're in Detroit, the only thing you should be craving is a swift end to your existence.

I once spent five years in Detroit; I think it was during my two-hour layover at the airport.

And so, the only question I have after getting all the way to the first bullet point is, why on oearth do we not have more D&D characters baking pizza on their shields!?!

 

[darjr]

I ran a game at work, when I still had an AT work. And two of the players shields had arms carved on them holding flagons. Flagons they’d fill with beer and slam them together during fights whenever they keyed off each other. Lots of beer was spilled.

Chicago style is the one slice style, too much cheese, at least when I go up to the city (I'm not too far away); square style is often called Sicilian? I'm kind of a heretic anyways because I eat it with a knife and fork.

square style is often called Sicilian?

In the US, there is square pizza that isn't Sicilian.

Sicilian pizza here has a very thick crust - almost like you took a rectangle of focaccia and put toppings on it.

Chicago-style "pizza" is actually a "casserole," but I don't hold that against it either...it's a friggin' delicious casserole.

My nderstanding is that tChicago style is a buit more traditional than most American varieties of Pizza...but then, that might just depend on which Italian tradition that you paybattention to.

The Morning Post (London) - 17 Dec 1860 had an article on Naples that talked about Pizza in part of it. The clip below starts half way through the pizza section. It was also printed in several other English newspapers later that month, and in Boston the following January (just the pizza section).
