QOTD: Im down with both the NY and Chicago styles, but NY more. I like fresh basil, pepperoni, sausage, red onions, and tri color bell peppers. Lots of parm cheese and red pep flakes sprinkled over the top.

In Pizza Stop in Dublin, of course!

I am a sausage man on my pizza and my sister who is watching with me likes the pepperoni. I guess we are a little traditional.

Hi Gary – I like the BBQ chicken pizza from CPK. Really can’t stand anchovies!

Hey Gary,
Great show. I’m an importer and agent for Portuguese and Spanish wines in the British market. I know you’re a big Portugal fan and you should know that the Mencia grape is exactly the same as the Jaen, found in Portugal’s Dao region

Agree with Jim in Atlanta – thanks for the new wine region (to me at least)

QOTD – Still love my hamburger with jalapenos, a Texas favorite.

QOTD: Salami and Mushroom So simple, so YUM!

QOTD: Against my carnivore nature, my favorite pizza starts with the standard pizza: tomato sauce and mozzarella. But then finish with crumbled feta cheese, big slices of tomatoes and artichoke hearts. It’s gotta have the old-school Italian crispy, pizza stone, crust. Finish it off with some fresh ground Parmesano… there’s almost nothing on earth I’d rather put in my mouth.

GV, being a college student I appreciate the value plays – thanks for bringing them to the Thunder Show with greater regularity. Got your book for Christmas – couldn’t put it down! Keep up the great work!

Tough to beat the classic pizza margherita if done right.

Nice hair, EK!

Good show on the Bierzo region. I have had a few wines from this area (and one was a Palacios) and they have been very good and excellent QPRs as well.

QOTD: I just had a lamb sausage and fontina pizza that was really good and I also like Buffalo Chicken pizzas from time to time, but my favorite standby is pepperoni and hot peppers.

QotD: Big big fan of buffalo chicken pizza. I’ll go with anything, but for the most part I follow my brother’s cardinal rule of pizza toppings: “I like anything on pizza except for vegetables… mushrooms are not vegetables.”

Lisa!
QOTD: ALPINO BRAND Spicy Pizza Topping, of course. It is the BOMB! Check it out!
