Pizza browning

[zombie no.one]

cool. in england (old england?) 'pie' exclusively means like what's in that photo. filled pastries

this is anecdotal but I've heard in Italy they don't really do 'round' pizzas, only big rectangular ones cut into slices? will try and verify that next time I see my italian mate

[zombie no.one]

fav varieties?

I'm a classic pepperoni, mushroom + green peppers guy, but also dig a hawaiian ham+ pineapple as well. (pretty much the only 'sweet and savoury' combo of any food that I can tolerate tbh... I cannot stand sultanas in curries. actually makes me retch. caramelised onion is another instant no-no)

love chicken but not generally into chicken on pizza. not sure why, just seems wrong. not a fan of anchovies either really, too salty

Like Sicilian pizza? Thicker dough/crust? Never been to Italy, can't confirm how authentic though. I don't like that kind, but I guess cause I'm so used to the round.

Pizza varieties:
1.) Pepperoni
2.) Sausage
3.) Buffalo Chicken Pizza
4.) Breakfast pizza. Breakfast pizza here doesn't have the sauce. Generally it's the dough and cheese, but the toppings are breakfast related. Usually scrambled eggs with your variety of breakfast meats, whichever one you'd like: bacon, breakfast sausage, scrapple, pork roll, ham, etc. They'll add a sauce if asked.
5.) Chicken Caesar Pizza. Sounds disgusting, but it's pretty good.

A place here has a pizza where the toppings are basically everything on a Big Mac from McDonalds. They can't call it a Big Mac though, but it's got the ground beef, lettuce, special sauce, etc.

Pepperoni never fails. Pork in general always works. Barbecue chicken is also solid. Plain cheese is fine. And I love a good margarita pizza (tomato, cheese, basil).

I'm sure that's probably nice but just the concept is a bit gross to me, haha

fine as one slice for a snack / party food etc, but as a main I need some kind of meat!

I've only had it inebriated. I've never had it sober. It actually doesn't taste bad, but I usually land on pepperoni or something most times

I'm a classic pepperoni, mushroom + green peppers guy, but also dig a hawaiian ham+ pineapple as well. (pretty much the only 'sweet and savoury' combo of any food that I can tolerate tbh... I cannot stand sultanas in curries. actually makes me retch. caramelised onion is another instant no-no)

love chicken but not generally into chicken on pizza. not sure why, just seems wrong. not a fan of anchovies either really, too salty

From watching UK peope & pizza videos on youtube, many like to drizzle hot (spicy) honey on their pizza. Is that a popular UK thing? I am intruiged though, and might have to try that.

What's anyone's go to sauce? This is mine.

[HappyGilmore]

Sauce in general for pasta? I usually stick to a basic Hunt's, honestly.

But it also depends on the type of meal I'm having, if there's meat in the pasta, seafood, etc. I'll change it up. A lady I used to work with was an older Italian lady who made her own sauce/gravy, and it was delicious. She had a process. But she's retired and moved and stopped doing it.

Pizza sauce, it really depends on the place. There's two big rivals on the boardwalk in Wildwood New Jersey. Mack's vs Sam's. Sam's is consistent, great dough and cheese, a whiter based cheese, but the sauce is a bit 'sweet', but meshes with the rest fine enough. Mack's uses a brighter yellow cheese, and they undercook the dough, but the sauce is a saltier flavor that works and it's greasy.

I dunno if that's popular but I did have a readymade frozen one a couple of years ago which had spicey honey... but that's the only time I've ever heard of it as a thing though

So, I dunno if this is 'popular' as I don't live in the UK, but a few people I follow on social media (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook) who live there...apparently corn is a popular pizza topping. And that bothers me.

^^ I'm assuming you mean 'corn' as in what we call 'sweetcorn', i.e. the little yellow nuggets? yes that's often on pizzas here. I'm a fan

just remembered my first ever job was in a chinese takeaway which for some reason also did pizzas. the dough bases were ready made but we had to do everything else. some of the ones I ended up coming out with were terrible! burnt a few as well... never had any returned though, I think most customers ordering a pizza from a chinese takeaway were probably drunk

Sweetcorn. Yes. Is there a difference? Is it sweeter?

Either way, I don't want corn on my pizza. And yeah, I'd assume if you're ordering pizza from a Chinese take-away you're probably drunk.

There's nothing inherently wrong I guess about it, it's really just subjective tastes. If I'm getting pizza, I want it savory, salty, meaty. No corn. No pineapple. Just salty, with some meats, maybe a veg here or there (onion, pepper, etc) but no fruits or sweet corn.

[zombie no.one]

our sweetcorn is kind of 'sweet' in the same way you could possibly call a cherry tomato 'sweet'? i.e. not really. just a little bit.
