QOTD thin crust a lil olive oil and sea salt, minimum three cheeses just adds so much to it, feeling crazy a little bbq chicken or even buffalo chicken! I totally forgot about the greco, would like to pick up a bottle for this weekend i guess it look liek ill be eating pizza for dinner one of these nights aswell.

QOTD: vegetarian and *must* be thin crust. Pizza *cannot* have pineapple. It’s like adding Coke to a First Growth bordeaux (which I’ve seen done in Hong Kong).

QOTD yesterday: OATMEAL! with blueberries or blackberries
Hope you find a good Pinotage – I haven’t much cared for it in the past.
QOTD today: thin crust as I pick off the toppings – should have pepperoni.
White wine with pizza sounds so radical. Bought some Prosecco. Looking forward to trying it.
Wine and Chile Fiesta in Santa Fe – Ridge dinner was great 8 Ridges. Chardonnays over oaked for my taste. 3 bottle Montebello vertical from 1984. I still like my 2002 the best.

QOTD: My #1 favorite pizza is my Mom’s homemade pizza with hamburger topping (for sentimental reasons; when I was a kid she made pizza EVERY Saturday night, and when I go home to visit she makes it ) But here, left to my own devices, I make a lot of frozen pizzas and I enjoy CPK’s Thai Chicken Pizza, DiGiorno, or Trader Joe’s Sausage cornmeal crust pizzas… OR, if we order out, we usually get from this place called Remo’s – and we get the Remo’s Special which has salami, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, black olives and onions. However, my favorite pizza experience of all time might have been at the original Pizzeria Uno in Chicago — that’s probably my favorite style.
Generally: I like the crust to be thick, HATE green peppers or anchovies, love cheese, light on the sauce, and I prefer meat to be among the toppings.

Cheese, mushrooms and Jalepenos is the pizza for me….warm or cold…..

if you don’t like cheese and prefer more sauce, why don’t you get a marinara slice? my favorite is a marinara slice with fresh garlic and onions. It’s awesome.

QOTD: Anything from Pepe’s or Modern (in New Haven). Although I think Hawaiian is my favorite. For a change of pace the Silano from Bertucci’s is excellent. MMmmm.

I’ve never tried a white with pizza….usually b/c I am drinking a beer…(the other white beverage). We’re you eating that pizza cold?

QOTD – Pepperoni and Cheese, please.
And BTW, it looks like Liono is wearing a dress… not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Really great to have only whites. It’s such a statement. I thought you would have had a dolcetto in there cause of your last episode. Speaking of that, I see that your Vlog is spreading in Sweden now. Keep on running friend!

QOTD: As much as I love various meats and several veggies, my favorite style of pizza is the simple cheese pizza done right.

My favorite pizza EVER was at L’Antica Pizzaria di Michele in Napoli, Italia. SMOKEY crust, cooked in a coal-fired brick oven! WOW!

Are you kidding me?? You grew up in NJ???

Not once did you call it a PIE, it’s Pizza PIE, you took the cheese off – considering it’s processed crap and not real mutz, i’ll barely give you a pass for that – at the very LEAST you could have FOLDED the damn thing like a real New Jerseyan. You’re representing the center of the pizza universe for christssake, do you understand your responsibility?? Do you know how good you have it?? Most people’s idea of real pizza is Pizza Hut’s freakin Brooklyn STYLE pizza, and you could jump into your lime green Honda Civic, shoot down 78 and be at Patsy’s in 25 minutes manging on a real slice. Show some respect for the PIE Jersey boy!!!!!!

Tom L: smart. Star Tavern. That’s the real deal.

QOTD: Hawaiian all the way (pineapple and canadian bacon). And I like my pizza thick and bready cause i cant stand the super thin cardboard pizza. I do really like catawba wine with pizza, but i’ll have to try that verdejo cause it sounded good!

great show Gary – have a good trip!

QotD: Big fan of mushrooms on Pizza but my favorite is probably white pizza, when it’s done right. It can suck but if done right it’s great.

Gary, you’d love the marinara pizza we had in Italy [best pizza we had there], cheeseless. Just homemade sauce, some herbs and olive oil.
