Hutong Pizza in Beijing

I was in Beijing in 2005 and I didn't see that place (although I love wandering through the hutongs). I'm (pleasantly) surprised to hear that the pizza was good, though. The group we were with dragged us to an Italian restaurant (Annie's?). Somebody had a pizza, and the crust was passable but the cheese was truly bad. I suppose the trick is to find a source of decent cheese in a country where it isn't eaten.

Mac and Cheese Pizza: Ian's Pizza, Madison, Wisconsin

Glass Nickel may be in the process of overexpanding. They've now got six locations and are apparently opening a seventh in Brookfield. It seems to me that the Fetalicious was always a bit too soggy, but my old favorite the Santa Fe had gotten noticeably worse over the last couple years (less BBQ sauce, dry and tasteless chicken). I hope not, but for me the point is pretty much moot since I moved out of the Madison area last month.

Speaking of weird pizza toppings, my wife brought home a chicken cordon bleu (I think--it might have been something equally improbably) pizza from Casa Bianca on Junction Rd once that was just fantastic. The Glass Nickel version was too heavy. Never been to Ian's.

I just had a slice of Ian's mac & cheese pizza (Chicago location) on a whim today. I've been in love with this slice since I was in college and would make the trip from the University of Minnesota to Madison, it was my one requirement while visiting. Also, you definitely do not need to be drunk to enjoy this slice, it's amazing in any mind state.

Also, check out http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/ as the mac and cheese pizza is featured there today, 7/6/09. This slice is definitely worth the calories!

@goosegirl: Thanks for the report. Wish I could hop a plane and try the mac-and-cheese slice. It's gotten such a surprising amount of love here in the comments.

This is my first post and the reason behind it is that I had Ian's mac and cheese for the first time on Friday night and after frequenting this site for months, I had to chime in.
The mac and cheese was not on the counter, you had to ask for it - it was the most unique, comforting, and surprisingly delicious slice of pizza I've ever had. Consumed on the street on a cool day after a few pints of delicious Goose Island beers, nothing has hit the spot quite like that pizza.

For most food in the Peoples' Republic of Madison, I'm a fan, however the service is usually quite poor. But after having Ian's and Dotty's hamburgers this weekend, all I can say is "Go Badgers!"

Ziti pizza is a standard at T&R, on Amsterdam Ave. in Manhattan...

T&R Pizza

...and on rare occasion, spaghetti pizza shows its face, too. What the folks at T&R were thinking when they first put pasta on pizza, I've never asked, but the pizzeria is just south of a stretch of spilling-onto-the-sidewalk bars.
