British pizza v. American pizza

i voted football

i had a very good pizza in england once

Prawns and rocket, how did you know to pick my dream combo?!

USA is some kind of eagle tears and jizz solute right?

USA is some kind of eagle tears and jizz solute right?

yes, if by eagle tears and jizz you mean "pepperoni"

you already listed pepperoni you MONG

i was saying that pepperoni is made out of eagle jizz

prawns and rocket? not seen that in pasta hut.

Oh man, I've been doing a massive homesick this afternoon and the idea of NYC STYLE PIZZA OF THE GODS just sent me nearly crying, no no, even the worst of Famous Ray's Famous Pizza is still a bazillion times better than Brit Pizza.

ooh man, I've been fighting off the desire to order Dominoes for an hour now, and now this thread.

Britain does really classy pizzas in restaurants, but the sweetcorn menace kind of gives America the win

prawns + rocket + blue cheese + onions + artichoke + liquorice + porridge

PRAWN ROCKET

^^^^ decent band name for lol joke-y college students

By American Pizza I do NOT mean Dominos/Pizza Hut/any of that crap.

point counter-point duets w/boy girl singing about the pros and cons of american and british pies

btw do brits ever refer to pizza as "pie?"

frozen "chicago" deep-dish mini-pizzas they have at iceland are an ideal compromise except they're frozen but they're good but they're frozen

I'm going to suggest ban everyone who posts in this thread from this point on, btw.

someone spilled bugs and salad on your pizza!

v. brazilian chicken-heart and peas pizza

American pizza is made by people who came here from Italy (if you're in Jersey or parts of Brooklyn). Is British pizza the same way?

American pizza is made by stoned teenagers, wtf is wrong with you

lol

Where are you from? You can walk into a pizza restaurant and speak Italian to people. I mean, most of the kitchen staff is Mexican, but there's always one or two eye-talians from Naples or Sicily in charge.

L-R: Burt Stanton, an Italian

what the hell is "rocket"?

arugula

our pizza is made by camp pantomime dames and Gulf War veterans

I'm not Italian, but growing up in a bigtime Italian area, it's obviously going to be something you pick up. British pizza is probably the same way, made by actual Italians like American pizza is, since Italy is closer.

British Pizza is people.

Next: TAKING SIDES: BAGELS VS. BEIGELS

Sour cream and chives pretzels!

There is actually some good (Italian) British pizza. The place in Brixton Market is really good. The only thing I don't like is that the concept of slices is basically unheard of - everybody gets their own little individual pizzas. It's less fun.

Except places like TASTY CORNER - they will happily do you slices.

That taste like COLD WET RUBBER WITH SWEETCORN ON IT.

bagels are rubbish.

Do American pizzas come with those mini garden tables in the middle?

sometimes!

I want pizza so bad right now. It's not fair.

yeah i would kill a man for a slice right now

Ah yes Masonic! That's true. I guess what Britishes don't get is that sometimes those slices can be fit together to form a WHOLE pizza that can then be PURCHASED. Though why you would WANT to in BRITAIN is another STORY.

MANSLICE.

thanks now i want pizza too

britisher pizza is pretty good, but yeah, the corn thing is fucking grodes

but i hate corn in anything

CANSLIME.

you can buy corn in a cup now, it makes me feel sick whenever I see a cup-o-corn stand.

In hell I would be served bagels covered in sweet corn.

CLEANISM

EIN CLAMS

you can buy corn in a cup now, it makes me feel sick whenever I see a cup-o-corn stand.

waht

true! there's one on kilburn high road. but i love corn, so i welcome this new development in street food.

if you feel like splurging, do you ever get two corn cups?

2 corns, 1 cup

cio

you know you can die from eating too much corn

you know you can die from eating too much corn ANYTHING AT ALL

bagels are rubbish.

poor britishes :(

it is sad

i love a good bacon bagel

Don't the brits put blood pudding on their pizzas?

also brain and kidney pie

Wait, no. I mean spotted dick.

maybe i've only seen bagels in the context of people who are dieting, and they have bagels with low-fat cheese spread for lunch. I despair.

I imagine a cup-o-corn goes straight thru you :(

bagels should be antithetical to dieting

jerk opinion time:
i always cringe at the britishism "do" - it's MAKE, you make a pizza
i feel like not all british people must say this though, i mean, cmon
if you want to say "do", move to france and have fun with the verb faire wheeee

sorry, i wish i could help this feeling :/

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1168/565817030_6996adc2e3_o.jpg

I would never say do a pizza, that sounds weird.

uh wtf @ diet bagels that sounds disgusting.

I shall give bagels another go.

There is a waffle shop in Ealing, I must go there!

pizza bagels are damn good.

do the british have pizza bagels? xpost!

who the hell says "do a pizza"?

Someone who is about to fuck a pizza.

Doing a pizza:

forgive my skepticism jel but you might have to travel to find some decent bagels.

yeh, like Golders Green

damn!

I'm kinda like a hobbit, hate to leave the shire.

Something tells me that pizza wan't the only delivery in that photo above.

ya the salt shaker was part of the special offer

hay i read somewhere that teriyaki and fish'n'chips both come from the same portuguese/iberian fried fish dishes, one brought to japan by the jesuits, the other brought to england by sephardic jews.

nothing to do with bad dentistry jokes or whatever but it's interesting 2 me.

the dude has a nasty looking infection...ought to get it seen to

Note how the delicious pizza has an appetizing greenish-brown cast.

Would not say "do a pizza" ever. Would probably not say "let's do pizza" but can imagine it in the manner of "let's do lunch", but then that's adding an extra layer of asshattery to an already punchable phrase.

I've seen pizza bagels in a few places here in the UK, but (outside London?) I'd say they were still pretty rare, and the ones I've had have been kind of lacklustre, so I'm imagining there's a lot more to a NY pizza bagel.

Was going to say here that the pizzas I've had in Italy were pretty disappointing (giant grey rooftile of a base, thin smear of tomato puree, almost no cheese, any meat topping forms inch-wide centrepiece), but I can only imagine how hard I'd be suggestbanned by Dom for that, so I will merely say that I guess north Italy is not the pizza region.

well how many pizzas did you have and in how much of Northern Italy did you have them?

The American pizzas:

1. Chicago deep dish
2. NYC/East Coast thin crust
3. Mittelamerican thin crust pie with US cheddar/american in the mix somewhere, cut into party squares
4. Yuppie pizza
5. Domino's/Papa John's, sauce has a sugary flavour
6. Pizza Hut etc.

The British pizzas:
1. Dodgy take-away, menu has a pie with visible sweetcorn and is called American Eagle Pizza or somesuch
2. Pizza Express, affectionate tribute to Italian yuppie pizza
3. Porchetta, affectionate tribute to NYC pies
4. Pizza Hut and other restaurants with a chew-until-you-spew aspect
5. Pizza al tavola getting really trendy here, good, am hungry.

pretty much nothing in the world beats a good bagel.

i'll take a picture of the pizza i just ordered, for you guys

From what I've read here, I can't imagine that British Pizza is a good thing.

There's all sorts of good pizza in the US, and even the bad pizza (Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, Domino's) is still decent.

BTW, we have trucks and street vendors in Texas who sell corn in a cup. It is a Mexican style roast corn that comes with mayo, lime, some kind of chilli pepper spice, and maybe some other stuff too. Not bad.

mayo and corn in a cup.

surely that sounds unbelievably vile to ppl besides me

http://www.lamicha.com/images/elotes_products.jpg

elote en vaso

sounds like barf pizza to me

xxp We have street vendors in Chicago like that, too, but it's sold by the ear, not in a cup.

Dan, it should, but it really really really is not. You'd eat it, there's paprika involved. But strangely not in Lauren's photie.

no^^^^^^

Or shit, I dunno, maybe some of them sell it in cups, too. I've never had it, just because the thought of the mayo sitting out in the sun for hours at a time sort of turns me off.

we are discussing pizza, not cups

everytime I've gotten pizza in england they want to do shit like fry an egg on it

wow, look at the #4 google hit for "british pizza." interesting. . .

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/moslive/article-1049257/Give-PIZZA-chance.html?ITO=1490

lame

it's easy to find crummy pizza in england, and sometimes quite easy to find great pizza in america, whether you're in NYC, Chicago, most college towns, and even on the left coast. However, if you have the passion for pizza, you can make pretty damn good pizza at home no matter where you are, so long as your oven gets hot enough (above 500* Fahrenheit). I am moving from NYC to the UK next year and know that I will have to cope with some crummy pizza prospects, which is why I have been refining my pizza making skills. Like the dude from Papa Johns says, 'better ingredients, better pizza', so recommend you make your own dough, and even your own sauce. you can google around and find a recipe and chance are that you will be making decent enough pizza before long, ok, not great pizza like 'una pizza napoletana' or 'patsy's' in manhattan, but some quite delicious pizza. It's seriously awesome to be able to make pizza.

Like the dude from Papa Johns says

Sadly, I stopped reading here.

It's true though, good pizza requires not only good technique but also good ingredients. Papa Johns as pizza is basically pretty bland and predictable (some people like that), however.

so you never eat big chain pizza? which part of the UK are you moving to?

throw off the chains of your pizza oppressors

I'll eat pizza from a chain pizza place, sure. I'll eat pizza from a corner dive pizza joint (by Grand Central I recommend '99¢ BEST SLICE' on 44th and 5th - very, very excellent!)
Not sure where I'm moving - depends on where I will be able to get a job.

whoops, I'm sorry, it's called '99¢ FRESH PIZZA'
http://midtownlunch.com/blog/2007/01/17/99%C2%A2-fresh-pizza-expands-its-mini-empire/
They always have fresh pizza and it comes to 1.07, or 2 slices + a can of soda for $2.50. This place is soo legit.

so you can just go to the same chain places for adequate pizza here i guess - they can't be that different (unless the water really does make a difference or something). or maybe you'll find a nice italian place (i wonder if these aren't dying out generally tho).

The first pizza I had in Italy had horse meat and rocket on it. It's been kind of difficult to match up to that since.

Sorry to keep coming back to something off-topic, but the elote en vaso pic that Lauren posted is exactly what I was talking about.

I'm pretty sure you can get it either in the cup or on the cob at most places that have it down here.

I believe that Pizza is the world's number one favorite food. If that's not an outrageous claim then I would like you to ask yourself the question "If you were stranded on a desert island for the rest of your life, and had to eat only one food, what food would that be?" I believe that people from all walks of life, young and old, rich and poor, of all backgrounds and persuasions, would answer 'pizza'. Even Osama bin Laden must love pizza. Jeffrey Dahmer loved pizza. And so did Gandhi. I can quiet easily imagine Winston Churchill and Gandhi deciding on the toppings for a pizza they are going to split. Mahmood Ahmadinejad and George Bush both love pizza, I just know it.
One thing I will probably miss when I will move away from New York is how many pizza joints have crudely drawn depictions of Joe Pesci, Robert Dinero, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and Tony Soprano sitting around a table in a pizza parlor dressed in tuxedos and perhaps smoking cigars - with perhaps the cast of Donnie Braso or other minor gangster movie characters at another table - in most pizza joints in New York.

Jeffrey Dahmer loved pizza

yeah, but the toppings

Dinero (?): De Niro (!)

http://www.familypix.net/dollars/actors/robert_deniro.jpg

Deniro isn't approving of what I'm about to spend his Deniro Dollar on.

Do American pizzas come with those mini garden tables in the middle?

Yes, sometimes they do. And I am utterly baffled as to what purpose those damn plastic things serve.

don't they keep large boxes from squashing down onto the cheese?

oh come on

They are there so that when the pizza boxes s are stacked on top of each other, the lids of the ones on the bottom aren't smooshed into the cheese.

xp

GI joe picnic tables

Urban Myth Department: 'pizza table' invented by stoner dude tired of cheese from centre of the pizza adhering to interior of box. Dude patented it, $$$$$ ensued...leaving inventor free to enjoy beer and bongs to infinity and beyond.

they're so you can take your GI Joes on a real date and cut up a slice of pepperoni like it's a little pizza.

People in Queens are patriotic about pizza - this is from place in Sunnyside.

I thought they were just some weird thing Gumby's did to mess with stoner dudes.

ps. it was 'Grandma style' - that's with the marinara sauce on top of the cheese. Usually 'Grandma Style' is square and deep dish, but can be done on round pizzas too. Also, the marinara sauce is somehow fruiter and with more garlic in 'Grandma Style' than in regular pizza sauce.

British Pizza vs. SBARRO

British Pizza every single fucking time.

Hot garbage vs. SBARRO

There was this place in Calgary, a hole in the wall between two pubs, whose trademark pizza was the donair (ie doner) pizza — donair sauce and donair meat aplenty, and that was it. Possibly the best stodge/postpub/drunken snack ever. Or worst, I'm still undecided.

I've been told it's closed now, though.

are you fucking kidding me with this poll

I'd rather have a colonoscopy than a slice of "british pizza"

That can be arranged. You'll need one after dining in one of our local branches of Pizza Hut, Domino's or Papa John's.

I’ve only had American Pizza twice. First time was in California when I was ten and with my family. It was about 20 inches wide - pretty impressive - nice and thin and we shared it. I can’t remember anything else, but I liked it.

Second time was a couple of years ago and it was from a St Louis delivery place called Emo Pizza, or something. It had the “famous” St Louis cheese called Provel. It was rank.

British Pizza I’ve had a million times. Pizza Hut when I was younger was OK at the time but I doubi I’d ever go back now - or to any of their clones. Pizza Express a few times, but that’s expensive for what it is. But then again, ALL pizza in the UK is expensive. Some independent Italian restaurants have hit the spot, but to be frank, I’d much rather make my own - it’s piss easy, takes under a couple of hours and is pretty cheap - plus when you make dough and tomato topping they are both freezable.

A pizza stone is essential, though.

actually, I think Canadian pizza should win cos we have Panago and donair pizza, OM NOM NOM

write-in vote for Canada pizza

Turkish pizza and lachmajun are getting pretty popular, at least in London.

Canadian bacon is not a patch on UK bacon.

canadian only uses the loin, proper bacon uses loin and belly.

With UK bacon you must make sure it's "traditional dry cure bacon" from a decent butcher, rather than that briny shite you get in supermarkets which turns into white scum in your pan.

We have back-bacon, which is like Canadian bacon, and streaky, which is like Merkin bacon.

http://www.graigfarm.co.uk/images/porkbaconlongback150.jpg

in my experience:

NY PIZZA is divine, a slice can be paradise
CHICAGO PIZZA is heavy like SABBATH, this is cos cheese is underneath sauce I think (even on frozen and thin crust pizzas i have ate in chicago), and is dreamy
CALIFORNIAN PIZZA is just an absolute fucking abomination.

Most British pizza is pretty pedestrian - yer pizza expresses and asks and all that are serviceable, much dodgy takeaway pizza fittingly dodgy (but sometimes divine), Pizza Hut is ineible, Dominos very edible but not very good.

I make awesome pizza at home though. The secret is semolina flour, and a pizza stone.

this is cos cheese is underneath sauce I think (even on frozen and thin crust pizzas i have ate in chicago)

I've never encountered thin crust pizza here with cheese underneath sauce.

Frog leg pizza topping sparks boycott call
Published: Oct. 16, 2008 at 3:58 PM
Order reprints | Feedback
LONDON, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- A London restaurant chain has raised the ire of animal rights activists with its newest dish -- a pizza topped with frog legs.
A spokeswoman for Animal Aid called for a boycott of Eco restaurants after they introduced "The Hopper," a $31.07 pizza topped with eight frog legs plus capers and anchovies, The Sun reported Thursday.

The spokeswoman said the process of preparing frog legs is cruel to the amphibians.

"The animals typically have their limbs hacked off while still alive, having been captured by the bucket-load from the wild in countries like Indonesia," she said. "I cannot believe people are so desperate to entertain their palates that they want to be part of this vicious and callous trade."

Eco chef Sami Wasif said he came up with the idea for the frog pizza during a trip to Paris.

"I've been making pizza for more than 20 years and know that London is a city always looking for something new," he said. "Pizza is something you can experiment with. I might try one with snails on it next."

First of all ^ ew.

Secondly we jsut ordered Dominos because it's fast and we're at home waiting to go to the airport. The pizza might suck but the technology is awesome! When you order online it shows you a pizza tracker. For instance right now our pizza is "being prepared" by Charbel who started the preparation at 6:38 pm.

http://i36.tinypic.com/2wpqq6c.jpg

I sort of like knowing what stage my dinner is at.

It's baking!!

ok i just read the first post of this thread... is this a fucken joke???????

OK here's the latest according to the pizza tracker:

Our delivery expert Anderson left the store with our order at 6:51.

Woot!

That meter is a lie. I worked at a Dominos before; the pizzas are pumped out fully formed from a giant tube built into the ceiling, and they're placed out in the sun to warm for 8 hours.

Red Lobster 'lobster' pizza (actually crawfish with a couple of small chunks of lobster) is surprisingly awesome, given that it's lobster pizza. And from Red Lobster.

...vs North Korean pizza?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/mar/16/north-korea-pizza

lol i posted the same hulu link as dom as part of the same "discussion" last week.

If it took them the best part of a decade to work out how to make a pizza I suppose we don't have to worry about them building a nuclear bomb any time soon.

i just googled "english breakfast pizza"

when I was a kid, our only pizza options were:

straw hat
shakey's
round table
pizza hut

and I swear to god, every single one of these options was about 10000x better than those respective restaurants are now. I know this makes me sound like a cranky old geezer but I was just now missing shakey's pizza from 1977.

I had some of the best pizza I've ever had in my life today. White pie, garlic, spinach, crushed tomatos. Normally I'm all for a big NY-style slice of greasy pepperoni and mushroom, but jesus this was good. If you're ever in Philadelphia or NJ go to Tacconelli's Pizza, you will not regret it.

fyuck this bullshit

mark, you posted that on the other thread too!

yup

i approve.

seriously are u fucking kidding me???? british pizza? fuck that

cmon guys

everybody gets their own little individual pizzas

Unfortunately, these are often not that little, as my expanding waistline can attest.

true. it's a commitment, getting a pizza in britain. american style is much looser - get a slice, get two; share two pies between five friends and nobody really knows who got what.

there's a likeable, cheap pizza place across the road from us, and while their pizzas aren't amazing, they hit the spot when one is veh, veh hungry. but last week i got my girlfriend a veggie pizza from there, and puzzled by what toppings to get her i chose a selection that included 'caramelised onions'. anyway, ten miutes later i pick up the pizza, only it has these weird foamy pink lesions all over it, which sort of look like prawns, if prawns were a foam and not, you know, prawns.

i took it back to the shop, and the guy who worked there swore blue that these foamy pink puffs were 'caramelised onions', and to make his point, he pulled out a plastic tub of hummus-looking goo from the fridge which, he said, was his 'caramelised onions'.

we aren't going back there, but can someone maybe suggest how this tub of white goo could possibly be 'caramelised onions'??

am british, btw

New Brit Pizza (causing outrage here obv). You do get rocket on pizzas in Italy, you know. It's really great with Bresaola. And I've had a chicken and avocado pizza in the US, at California Pizza Kitchen, which is way more wtf for me.

(causing outrage here obv)

?

"with a hole in the middle, and a salad in the hole."

could have worked on that copy a little more.

"Leggera means 'light' in Italian."

worst tagline ever?

weird my bro just told me about having the pizza with the hole in it a day or two ago on the phone. Well not really all that weird. Slightly weird maybe.

Fitting, though, for what might be the worst pizza ever.

this is a thread about pizza :p

wgat percentage did CPK get?

Italian is not an option

fail.

Just back from Italy, where there was only one day that did not involve eating pizza. The real great debate is surely Naples pizza v. Rome pizza.

My only memories of Shakey's are that they had the lights dimmed so low you could, you know, well, do anything, and nobody would see you. You flashed a cigarette lighter to illuminate your plate if you wanted to know what was about to land in your mouth.

Now I just avoid "California style" pizza, which is pizza with all sorts of toppings that don't belong anywhere near a pizza.

I'm lucky to have several good indie pizza parlours a block or two away.

you gotta do them in different voices

like in a local radio ad

In the same way that various places make regular pizza with sausages embedded in the outer edge of the crust, someone could make a pizza using toad-in-the-hole as a base, so that the sausages are effectively embedded in the base.

lol lj :D

This should be catnip to Whiney. Might relieve StanM of carrying the burden of having started a joke that made all of ilx crysy wysy. Such promise. And Yorkshire Pudding Day, I am so down!

Some will argue you shouldn’t mess with a classic pizza base (we’ve all learned the error of our ways after trying cauliflower base pizza), whereas others may maintain that taking two delicious foods and mashing them up together makes for an even more sensational taste experience.

She's really trying, I respect that, but falls flat on her face when writing 'cauliflower base pizza'.

Rich from Morrison's tho, all their pizza's look the same. Fucking racists. Also you don't cut up half of a pizza in three, and leave the other half fully intact. Shambles.

Yorkshire pudding pizza is the best idea that has been had by humankind and on this rock I shall build my church

the pepperonians want equal treatment

There was a place near me that did a yorkshire pudding wrap, that is a yorkshire pudding tortilla hybrid which wrapped roast beef and gravy and veg. reader, it was delicious.

this yorkshire pudding piza could be rank, but i created a naan/piza dough mutation last year, which I topped with homemade chicken tika masala, which was wonderful, so who knows?

the marketing rationale behind calling it 'Yorkshire pudding pizza' rather than 'filled Yorkshire pudding' aka the thing it actually is was presumably that only one of those would generate Independent clickbait and ilx thread revives

here's the thing, I would eat a yorkshire pudding pizza and will click on all clickbait to obtain further information

Finally a pizza I would eat more of the base of than its toppings...

i keep trying to find them in my local morrisons to no avail
either they're selling like "hot cakes" hehe
or i'm looking in the wrong section

xps pizza on naan is really good
