they're also serving this style of pizza at city bakery now. the crust was way too soggy in the middle for awhile but i think they've solved that problem now--the last time i had it, the crust was much firmer in the middle. i used to really like city bakery's old pizzas, which used joe's daily mozzarella, a thick but tasty crust, and chunky tomato sauce. this new pizza is still good though not as craveable. it's sort of like croissant pizza. i don't like the cornmeal that they're using on the bottom though. when i bite down it sounds like i'm breaking a tooth. i also hate that two boots does that to their pizzas--completely ruins the experience.

haha, thanks ;) i just had to share my pizza related angst with someone who'd understand.

your numerous dominos posts have got me craving it so bad... so i tried to order one, and the dominos whose "delivery area" i fall into is closed. the online system automatically redirects me to the other dominos in town, who then calls me to tell me they cant deliver it to me, nor can i come pick it up, because carry out is "closed." what? grr. and i had designed the prettiest pizza.

@aargh: Yeah. I feel the same way. My grandmother hammered it into me that it's a sin to waste food. So I tried to foist it off on my coworkers before dumping the pizza. I even tried to pick them off a second slice, but they had leaked their pickley badness into the underlying pizza.

You bring up a good point about the scheduling. I guess I could understand scheduling an hour or two into the future, but days or months is strange. I suppose you could go in and, on one day, schedule an entire month or year's worth of lunches/dinners.

Adam -- Yes, OK. I was rash in labeling you guys spoiled. It is a shame to order food and not finish eating it. So what I was saying is that I would sickly choke down a banana pepper pizza so as to not anger the pizza gods. At Lombardi's I will be a purist and stick to a margarita pizza. But Dominos is not a thing for purists. Pineapple and buffalo chicken -- sure! Even better, you can schedule your pizza to arrive days, weeks, or months in advance. In a way it has gone beyond food.

i am speechless in a GOOD AND BAD way when i saw that box.

I agree, pickled jalapenos do not work on pizza. Fresh jalapenos, yes, pickled ones, no.

You pizza bloggers have been spoiled. You could do worse than have to scarf down the remainder of a Dominos pizza. (Though I will admit that its thin-crust pizza is virtually inedible.) Dominoes' online ordering service is a godsend at 2am. I've probably been too drunk to notice that the box is funny. If I worked in your office I would unabashedly finish off that pizza.

Namaste.
