Pizza Showdown: The Best Delivery Pizza
I'd make english muffin Pizzas (which can be really tasty actually), over buying "pizzas" from any of these tasteless chains. Yet in still, much like Food Network who aired a Burger King versus McDonald's special a few yers ago...I realize that a true Pizza sounding board like slice needs to cover all bases and include "chain" stories.
If "laemtandrew" was serious about "MVP", etc, at least the comments ended on a hilarious note.
Domino's Analyzes Republican, Democratic Pizza Habits
I think that all this Dominos political demo proves is that there's repuplicans and democrats alike with terrible taste in Pizza.
As a long time pizza snob who hasn't tocuhed a Dominos in 15 years...I must come clean and admit Domino's pizza got me through 2 years of college...clear commentary of how bad the student cafeteria food was, and that I was a car-less city boy at a boony college.
Anybody else remember messing with the minds of the dominos delivery guys?...back in the day when the pie was free or discounted if they arrived past 30 minutes. We'd occasionally insist that those poor schmucks were late, referencing a fast clock in the room. Anyway, I remember they stopped that offer, as too many delivery drivers were crashing trying to make it in time.
Dear Slice: Who You Gonna Call for Deep Dish?
Just a bit of insight for those of you who were'nt in NYC during the "Goldberg's Pizzeria" years. I grew up in Manhattan, and frequented Goldbergs in my teens in the mid-late 80's. It was really good za, but not being as well traveled at that time, I had no idea it was considered "chicago style", nor did they promote it as such. They probably figured they'd sneak it into manhattan as an new "original" concept. Anyway, I always dragged friends there, touting the great sauce on top of the cheese and the splash of fresh garlic thrown on top of each pie when just out of the oven. The sauce and crust were excellent, with my only major critique back then being that the pans were over oiled, hence leading to some grease issues. The original was on about 53rd and 2nd ave...witha sister location in my former neighborhood on 76th and york ave. The 52nd st was all wood paneled inside , with clutter memorabilia and photos, etc...clearly indicating that the owners had experience in Chicago's finest pizza venues, and were trying to recreate that vibe here in NYC. They had a nice 15 -20 year run, ending in the mid-90's like that other slicehead previously mentioned. With the low carb trend nonsense thankfully being over for years now, I think a real "Chicago Style" venue here would be a big sell !...or at least get the Golberg crew out of retirement!
