My line is with the somewhat-common "salad pizza"

I'll eat just about anything, but the idea of vegetables wilting on a hot pizza is nauseating to me.
Only place I've seen do the salad pie well is Abbot's Pizza Company in Venice, CA. It is not traditional; they use bagel dough for their crust, which is a nice twist--especially the slices on "everything" crust.

If it makes it any less-detestable, it is not a hot pie. The crust is room temp and the salad toppings are cold.

...then it's not pizza. I guess i feel better now.

That salad-whatever-it-is belongs next to the whatever-the-bleep-it-is thing from Rhode Island.

I agree, it's not pizza. But it is tasty. Much moreso than that thing from RI.
 
Pineapple on pizza is easy to hate — at least in theory

It’s not the combination that some of you hate — the pineapple and ham on pizza — but the execution of it. Too many people, it seems, have been burned by poor versions of the Hawaiian, in which thick chunks of syrupy pineapple are merely dumped onto a cheese pie with similarly thick-cut ham.
Although I no longer live in CT, I still consider myself as much of a pizza snob as the rest of you Nutmeggers. Pepe's, Sally's, John's of Bleeker Street, etc. I think Luna is good too - love the fresh mozz. We have Chris Bianco out here in Phoenix when I really need a fix, and Cibo is to die for:



So - very traditional pizza tastes... BUT, I make a pizza every week, and ham/pineapple is definitely in my rotation. Not traditional, but if it's good, it's good. And someone here on the BY suggested in last year's annual "best pizza" thread to add green pepper to the Hawaiian pie. Not intuitive, but I tried it and it works!

Doughbird in PHX does a decent pie too. They do a couple of weird combos (sweet potato and Brussels sprouts) that I didn’t like but the sausage and mushroom was damned good.

No it doesn't. Green bell peppers svck. Automatic and immediate disqualification.
 
I love pineapple and love it sometimes on a chicken sandwich. I love the sweet salty combo (melon with a cured meat) but never thought it had a place on pizza.
It's the temperature that makes it disgusting. Hot pineapple.... I'm sure if you tried hot melon and cured meat, it would be similarly disgusting.
 
We get it. You have the taste buds of a 10-year old. No need to beat us over the head with it.
Yup, that's it. :rolleyes:

Oh, but wait. 133 pages of espousing the New Haven Big 4 (Modern, Zuppardi's, Pepe, and Sally's) are better than any other parlor in the state, and thereby the country, is okay? That's not beating anyone over the head? Best you just get over my post and move on.

Getting back to peppers, Red, orange, and yellow bell are all fine, especially roasted, and they are more nutritious. On the other hand, the only decent green pepper varieties have some heat to them, IMO (Jalepeno, Serrano, Poblano, etc.). Still wouldn't prefer them on pizza.

Oh calm down and take a joke you green pepper-hating head beater.

My hatred of green peppers is not a laughing matter. Neck and neck with that of cauliflower.

Had a revelation about a month ago with hot pineapple as part of a crawfish boil. Fresh pineapple slices in a steaming hot very well seasoned seafood boil and it tasted great. All the natural sweetness of pineapple countered by the salty and spicy seafood seasoning.
First time I had that combination and it worked well. Think mango habanero.
 
“I think there’s a culture now where we are so disconnected that we are now grouping together by hating things,”

Truth.
Wait does this quote group a bunch of things together and then use that disparage the culture as disconnected?
 
Yup, that's it. :rolleyes:

I mean it’s just objectively true that New Haven has the best pizza in the world
 
I just wanna note that I went to Sassano about a week ago and didn’t really like it. The crust is ridiculously thick. It’s like eating a loaf of bread. My favorite Hartford area may be Harry’s bishops corner, or Naples. Glastonbury doesn’t really have a great spot
 
Did a Margherita and a clam with bacon at Pepe’s yesterday before Trey show. They were on point . Right crust, right char, Pepe’s got some credit back from me, because they had been all over map on my recent previous visits. But yesterday was them at their best.

Wooster street is now a sheet show. The lines at Pepe’s and Sally’s were insane. Sally’s especially. Modern had a huge line too. Which you don’t see at that level. I blame the barstool idiot. Lots of pizza tourists making the pilgrimage. All out of state plates.
