I agree with SampSon????!?!?!?

OMG
Everyone agrees with me at some point. Everyone, even you, eventually has a moment of clarity in their mentally clouded lives.

Here is a quick piece of advice for pizza purchasers:

If the place you're buying pizza from has to advertise on TV, their pizza is sh!t.



And of course you "NEVER" order from these places just because they advertise on tv? What if they advertise in a Newspaper? Or in a Magazine Ad? Oh, my mistake, they texed you on your cell and you thout that was cool so you ordered from them! Numb...... Nut flavor anyone?
WTF are you babbling about?

The best places in the Phoenix metro are Phoenix House of Pizza and Subs (never seen an ad for them) and Barro's Pizza (some adds in the grocery store receipts, but no commercials).

I've never seen a TV ad for any non-national pizza restaurant.
 
Yeah, they flood your pizza if you order 2x anything 😛. I remember a couple times in college doing that, but now if I ever get pizza, it's from Pizza Hut, because I love Stuffed Crust pizza 😀. If I want to be a manly man, I just buy Digiorno's Stuffed Crust.
 
Papa Johns is the best pizza around here.

Just want to point out that the better of two Papa's (Murphys and Johns) is Johns.

Ah quit your bitching, you get what you pay for from national chains like that, of course it isn't going to be as good as a specialty place. It is the same deal with burgers from chains like McDonalds, Wendys or Burger King - complete crap compared to 'real' burgers - but cheap, fast, and easily found.
I don't need to bitch about thoes chains, because I don't frequent them. I just like to ridicule thoes who think these chains create a product worth their hard earned (or easily obtained) dollar.

Pizzarias with good pizza are as common as a chain like McDonals, Wendys or Burger King, they are far from "specialty". They are simply pizzarias that actually know how to make a good pie at comperable prices to chains. Sure a McDonalds burger is not as good as a Roadhouse specialty burger, but they are also a fraction of the price. Apples to oranges.

The places you're talking about I consider as "specialty"; they're not chains and its all they do...how does that not fit the description? I also never said they were necessarily more expensive. Thus it IS apples to apples, not oranges just because you only have one good burger place near you that charges significantly more.

And good luck finding those places anywhere and everywhere (people that live way out in rural bufu aren't going to have much choice are they?) , and I'd say there are just as many pizzerias by your definition that produce pizza worse than national chains as there are that produce better. Why not compromise and get something you know is going to be safe?

Quit acting like you're better than everyone else because you eat 'sophisticated' pizza. If people enjoy eating what you consider to be trash, then they're not wasting their money. Besides, it is their money, not yours.

If it wasn't for your extremist stance I'd otherwise agree with you. My favorite pizza comes from a place that is practically in my backyard (just a small local place, although it is also technically a trattoria as well as it serves many other items other than pizza). The pizza there is easily leaps and bounds better than any of the chains previously discussed (at least IMO) but that doesn't mean I'm going to be ignorant enough to make sweeping claims like you.
By your definition the chain places are "speciality" as well. By your definition any establishment that focuses on a single type of food is a "speciality" place. I just call them "pizzarias", it's much easier. There isn't a single pizzaria in my area that ONLY serves pizza. That's just ridiculous. So they are "trattorias" or whatever pretentious, sophisticated word you want to use in order to sound like you're intelligent.

You implied that other places were more expensive when you made the comparison to McDonalds or BK by saying "complete crap compared to 'real' burgers - but cheap, fast, and easily found." The "cheap" part implies that the real thing from your "speciality" places are more expensive.

The fact that you can't get real pizza from a decent pizzaria anywhere doesn't change the fact tha the pizza from chains is crap. You're partially right by saying there are sole proprietor pizzarias that produce sub-par pizza. In my personal experience I havn't had pie from a non chain establishment that is worse than a chain, other than pizza hut.

I'm not acting like I'm better than everyone else. I'm acting like I know what decent pizza is, unlike the OP. If he wants to spend his money on it, all the power to him. That's not going to stop me from ridiculing him for doing it. Nothing about my pizza is "sophisticated", it's a rather simple thing to make which is why it puzzles me that chains can't make a decent pizza. Sophisticated pizzas are thoes wanna-be flat bread things that pretentious cafes and bistros make. For me real pizza comes from a greasy, hole in the wall pizzaria. Ok?

What is extreme about saying 'I think chain pizza is crap'? Why are you getting your panties in a bunch and attacking me personally? Really, what exactly is the crux of your argument here? Do you actually have anything to get across except your disdain for my opinion?

You do agree with me, but your seething hate isn't allowing you to just say "you're right, chain pizza is sh!t and I love my local pizza place". Is that so hard? Did you need to put together some long winded rant using idiotic terminology like "trattoria" to get your point of "I don't like your opinion" across? So go have fun playing with your mincy little balls at your trattoria (which really just means restaurant in italian) and let me make fun of people who buy chain pizza in hopes of getting something decent.

I agree wholeheartedly. I'd happily eat a pizza (well, at least a reasonable amount of pizza; not a gluttonous portion) with that many toppings. Those peppers are nice for flavor, and the little peppers on the side are excellent as a little side dish. However, (and having worked in a pizza shop for 20 years, plus eaten pizza at for at least 5 and often as many as 10 meals per week over those 20 years) at a glance, I'm pretty sure that pizza sucks, especially for texture.

But that's because I don't like veggies on my pizza (other than the tomato sauce)

I wouldn't really consider tomato sauce a vegetable 🙂

I thought about that before I typed it, and I realized I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't. If I didn't put it in there, someone smartass would say "what about the tomato sauce? neener neener neener!"

You and I both come from the land of top notch pizza. Both of us have worked in pizzarias. You can tell just from looking at it for a few seconds that the pie is sh!t.

Watch out though, your 20 years exp and lifetime experience in the land of pizza means nothing to bunnyfubbles. DrPizza lives in the rurals, why is it he is able to get fantastic pies?

Papa John's sucks arse.
You can say that again.

It amazes me how many "hey, I'm eating a Papa Johns pizza" threads I see here.

So many people love it, and it's absolute cr@p.
It makes me think I live in the only town in the world with decent pizza.

Thanks for posting the pic, op... I had thoughts that maybe it was just the papa-johns around my house that sucked, but that pizza looks very similar to what I've tried.
Horrible.

Sorry for the thread cr@p, but bad pizza really pisses me off.
 
Just so you guys 100% believe me about exactly what I ordered, I still have the box and 2 slices of pizza left. I'll tak a pic of the side of the box where it states what I ordered.

Give me 10 min and I'll have a pic up.

I don't think anyone is doubting what you ordered. What everyone is doubting is your taste in pizza.

Are you still questioning this? Who in the hell are you to question someone's taste? Some people like certain things, LAY THE FUC OFF! I'm sure many college students give not a damn what you have to say about PIZZA! I'm sure you hate what I drink also? BUD LIGHT.
You need to find your Delilah and get it on buddy! The energy your pushing on your likes/dislikes of Pizza should be put to better use.

So you agree that college children have no taste? Well were in agreement then!

Also, Bud Light? How do you college kids afford that stuff?

ps. you and bunnyfubbles get your panties in bunch so fast I'd think you're both women! 😀 Can't you take a little ribbing? That's what college age males do, right? Or do they duke it out in WoW? 😀
 
I make my own pizza pie. If you're too lazy to make your own crust buy a boboli crust, make your own red sauce, get your moz from a local dairy shop, use your own vegetables, and get your ham/sausage from mr odessa 😉

That looks like elmeres glue.

Gross, did they even cook that?

Lombardi's: open since 1905, never seen a commercial for them, seem to be "staying alive" pretty darn well. :laugh:

EDIT: Anyways, I'll occasionally get Dominos or Papa Johns even though I have access to some of the best pizza in the world. It's like McDonalds vs a real burger...sometimes you just crave junk food, you know it can't hold a candle to the real stuff, but you want it nonetheless.

Glad to see there is another non-snob in the land of great pizza. :thumbsup:

You started it and now I'll end it.

Where's your originality?
You post 99%+ of your posts in off topic.
When is the last time you actually "STARTED" a thread? Don't you have any questions?....... Or do you just like to push your points against others in their own threads because you're afraid to get criticized?
Your panties were pulled over your head long ago and you never bothered to get out the scissors! **LMAO**






 
Where's your originality?

It's intrinsic-he doesn't need to postit on a forum-just as I do not need validation that a priori synthetical truths are metaphysically tenable.

The man grows food-what the hell do you do?

Rogo 😉

So in other words, it's fake. Simple and to the point. I would say worthless but nothing is ever worthless. Someone's trash. . . . . . . Is another person's pizza.
