I swear to god it used to be even better at the North location before they changed it about 3 years ago. When all they sold were personal sized.

Spicy Italian sausage pizza. Or primavera. Best thing ever.

We bought the “OO” dough, apparently it is the best of their dough, on Friday night. Costs $4 per ball.

Made pizza at home, it was delicious.

We had the 16" pepperoni pizza on Friday. It's fairly similar to pizza at Connie and John's but without having to eat it in your car, the hypertension inducing salt levels, and is about 30% cheaper. It's about a 20 minute drive from our house, but we've been dreaming of it all weekend, and will probably go there tonight.

We did the very same thing over the weekend, lol. Lina's dough with fresh ingredients and a pizza stone is a match made in heaven 👌

- A Canadian-invented pizza has been deemed the most popular pizza in the U.S. for 2020, according to an annual report from food delivery app GrubHub.

GrubHub's "Taste of 2020" report has crowned Hawaiian pizza as "America's Favorite Pizza" after finding the pie was 689 per cent more popular than last year.

If this is what Americans consider good pizza, I dunno what to say. Was there a scarcity in better toppings? People hoarding the good stuff?

You should probably just stop having the wrong opinion on an amazing pizza.

Its the ultimate Pizza, delicious hot, great cold, its a breakfast meal, a lunch and a dinner and a midnight snack. The ultimate combination of salty and sweet, and you put on some hot sauce and it works even better.

Bravo Pizza in West Springs is open for business. standard crust pepperoni is regular pan thickness, slightly sweet tomato sauce, and decently broiled up top. thin crusts are california style and only come in size XL.

overall thumbs up and different enough from other nearby options that it can go into the rotation without replacing anything.

Are you able to crisp the bottom well? I get this dough and set my oven at 525F I put the pizza on steel to prep and slide it on stone. The stone had been in for 30 mins.

Still pale bottom.

Crisp crust is the most underrated but most critical to a great pizza. Drives me crazy I can’t get it consistently right!

We tried villages pizza from somewhere in the SW (skip the dish) and it was surprisingly fantastic. Never even heard of it and we were shocked at the quality.

I wonder if these high and mighty pizza snobs who hate Hawaiian also hate things like Chinese foods that is savory and sweet at the same time like ginger beef, Teriyaki sauce, sushi, bbq sauce on smoked meat, trail mix, etc.

Their only argument is hurr durr YoU dOn'T mIx SwEeT aNd SaLtY!!

We used a "pizza tray" we have.

It looks like this:

https://www.wayfair.ca/Cuisinox--Cui...CABEgIi5PD_BwE

I have no idea if it is that item. We have had it for, well as long as I can remember. I don't even remember where we got it.

I oiled it before putting the pizza on and yeah perfect crust. I can't recall the exact temp of the oven but want to say 425. No idea how long I cook it for, I just keep an eye on it and when it looks done I pull it out and eat it.

It has always worked. I just sort of guessed/figured it out myself. No idea if I am "doing it right" other than it makes good pizza.

Not really, not sure why this is conflated with sweet/savoury preferences. Would you make the same argument for people that don’t like other toppings in their pizza? “You don’t like shrimp? You must also hate surf’n’turf, fish and chips, bacon wrapped scallops”.

Some people just hate pineapple on pizza.

You'd be correct if that was the typical argument.

The usual argument is you shouldn't mix sweet and savory, or you don't put "fruit" on pizza (despite the obvious fact that tomato is fruit), then they starting attacking pro-Hawaiians for liking it.

It's not the pro Pineapple people that are the problem here. Anti-Hawaiian folks should live and let live, but no, they have to attack attack attack.

To clarify, ham is also considered both sweet and savory, as it is a meat cured in relatively large amounts of sugar. What makes the hawaiin pizza good is the play of the sweet and caramelized pineapple and ham off each other.

Also, on the fruit thing, virtually all "vegetable" toppings commonly found on pizza are indeed fruits: olives and all peppers. In fact, the only common true vegetable pizza topping is probably the onion.

So basically, the only thing that separates pineapple from the other toppings is sugar content. But Ham is sweet, and we just had multiple posters talking about how much they love honey on their pizza.
