Pizza Poll

Today we had homemade meatball pizza for dinner and it was yummy but it was so sloppy, hubby had to use a knife and fork. That made daughter comment that he was being like the mayor. Which got me thinking....so, here is a poll about pizza.

We are preferable to Canadian bacon in this house with lots of veggies, or pepperoni and cream cheese. It's amazing!

I've heard of canadian bacon, pepperoni on pizza and veggies but never cream cheese. Do you have the cream cheese with tomato sauce?

[enigmaticblues]

Hee! You cut cream cheese into chunks, scatter it over the pizza with the sauce, other toppings, and mozzarella, and then it melts into creamy deliciousness. A local pizza place that we love does an amazing Hawaiian pizza with Canadian bacon, pineapple, and cream cheese, and also a pepperoni and cream cheese.

And I think I know what I'm doing for dinner tomorrow night...

OK....as you can tell from the poll, I'm not very adventurous when it comes to pizza. I usually prefer a plain cheese pizza.

I answered yes to the chain question, but only from two small, regional chains, one of which has only two locations.

I should have been clearer with my question, I meant national chains, like Pizza Hut or Dominoes.

[velvetwhip]

Ah, then my answer would be no.

We have Mom and Pop pizzerias on every other block and they usually all make amazing pizza, so for me, a chain is a big no no.

I like pizza with lots of vegetables, so I end up ordering things like Mediterranean pizza (tomatoes, basil, artichokes, olives) and adding extra meat. (Chicken, for preference.) Pepperoni and pineapple together is also good! I like pizza which is very light on cheese, so if there's a pesto option, I often go for that.

[teragramm]

The Mediterranean pizza, sounds good and I wouldn't mind trying a pizza made with pesto but I don't think I could ever try pineapple on my pizza. (Sorry)

[rahirah]

Pineapple by itself I can take or leave; it's just something about the pineapple/pepperoni combo. Though pineapple/Canadian bacon is not bad.

[mrbumblepants]

I like artichoke hearts, banana peppers, sun dried tomatoes. Cashews are great too.

[teragramm]

I'm not a banana pepper fan but the other stuff sounds like it might be pretty good.

[mrbumblepants]

They're pretty good. Also, if you've never tried it, cashews on pizza is really good. A nice alternative to olives.

Not a great Pizza fan ... if I eat it at home then its with fingers ... if I eat at a Chain then I try to be "proper" and use a knife & fork!!

Here in NYC using a knife and fork is considered sacrilegious. Eating it open faced is tolerated but most people here fold it and eat it.

[enigmaticblues]

Tyson and I just discussed this. Here in the Midwest, it's really rare to find pizza places that make a true New York style pizza, so it's pretty much impossible to fold a slice. They're too narrow, and too thick for that. That's not to say we don't just pick them up and eat them if they're cool enough, but if you want really hot pizza, a fork is necessary.

[teragramm]

That explains a lot!! Here in NYC it is rare to find a deep dish pizza. We have the "New York" style or Sicilian pizza.

The "New York" style we fold and the Sicilian we just pick up and eat. No one eats it with a knife and fork. If you do, you could get ridiculed like our mayor was (Believe me it was a big deal, most of the local stations did a blurb about his huge faux pas.)
