Things I’ve learned about pizza this week, using a creamy dipping sauce i.e. ranch is a thing, and the Boston Pizza chain has discovered a way to bake a pizza in a pizza oven and minutes later have it arrive at table ice cold.

DOP San Marzano tomatoes

canned tomatoes? in prime tomato season? i'm sure the dish is good but that is winter food.

Oh, lemme tell ya. There IS bad pizza. In Olympia for the tug boat fest, we went to The Spar cafe. It’s an old restaurant, pool hall and smoke shop that has been around forever. My dad used to take me there when I was five. It’s now been taken over by McMinnimens chain. I order the omnivore pizza. At least that’s what it was called on the menu. It was the gloppiest mess of bad red sauce and cheese like substance and some limp pepperoni on an even limper piece of dough that’s ever been called pizza. The waitress brought a box in case I wanted to take it home. I left the box and the pizza there for her to clean up. Still tipped her, wasn’t her fault.

Go try Vera’s in Ballard on 20th. The old breakfast place is now pizza and beer. I’m not a fan of the remodel, but the pizza is for real. Best I’ve had in Seattle in a long time.

You know you can freeze tomatoes rather than blanch them to remove the skin? It’s wild. Just freeze them, and when they thaw, the skin slides right off.

This thread just brought to mind one of the worst pizzas I ever had. It was in the late 70's, and we were camping in the Thousand Islands (Canadian side). We went into Kingston for a pizza, as we were tired of camping food. The menu seemed strange; no meats offered at all. We got tomato and mushroom, which was slices of tomato and mushrooms laid on the dough and covered with cheese. That's it; no sauce, seasoning, meat. The waitress could tell we were less than impressed. She said when we want pizza, we go to the States.

Not long after 9/11, the Border Patrol shut down the open border between Derby Line VT & Stanstead Quebec. The 2 towns were really more like one - with the border often running down the middle of a street - so getting a cup of sugar from a neighbor meant crossing the border. This was never worried about until 9/11. After that, no more crossing without driving down to the crossing & then back to the house 200 ft. away from you.

Anyway, a guy was "apprehended" by the BP crossing the border on foot, not at a crossing, and carrying a large pizza. When asked what he was doing, he replied "What's it look like? I just picked up a pizza for dinner." The BP agent started to lecture him & the guy replied that the place he'd picked it up from in Stanstead has always had the best pizza in town & he wasn't going to stop going there. The BP agent tried to explain that he'd illegally crossed an international border & the guy told him to bugger off, as he'd been doing it for many years & would continue to.

Anyway, the man refused to pay any fine & spent a few months in jail. When he got out, guess what he did?

Here in the UK we have unfortunately many of the US strains of pizza, dominos pizza hut, Papa John's etc.
I've never been in any nor ordered from any...
I have however sampled their wares.. a couple of times a year the American company I work for would order in for everyone.. sort of passable not great .

In the past however working for another company as a field service engineer, in one town I'd chose to stay in an Italian owned and run Hotel, they had a pizzeria in the building as well as the restaurant .
Proper pizzas made to order and even better paid for by the company.
