    How old is that pie? It looks like you found it next to the Simpsons cup.

    QOTD: Onions. Sometimes bacon and onions, but I love onions.

    I respectively want #10 responder to send me a thank you note because I purposely passed on responding when I would have been #8. It seems to matter so much to some of you so have fun. I had tuned to the new episode after re-watching episode 313 because I had just received my shipment of Berco do Infante and had cracked a bottle. First Gary, you may be attaining Seinfeld status by being better in reruns than you were in the original airing. Second, thanks for the tip. You’re right, it isn’t the best wine I’ve ever had, but kind of amazing for $5. Really, really, really enjoyed the joy of that episode. Thanks.

    Gary,

    How could you do this to me? I ordered pizza for the first time in months tonight and then I decided to watch this episode, oh the irony….

    Darlene: I know what you are talkin about – I just *walk* by a pizza place and I gain 7 pounds…

    Primarily the reason why I’ve weaned myself off of it – but if I do have it – I like it Napoli style – simple/clean pizza margherita with tomatoes, basil and a little bit of cheese – super super thin crust.

    Nice ep Gary. Looks like you have new lighting too – lookin good Jersey boy…

    QOTD: Gimme a slice with chopped sausage from the local pizza shop, OR I’ll order a Meat Lover’s pie with some crushed pineapples for sweetness.

  • Bobby B

    As far as best Pies, its all about New JERSEY (note I did not say New York) style. Benny Tudino’s in Hoboken has the best. Still nothing can compare to a good wood fired pie in Italy. Fresh Buffalo Mutz’ with prosciutto or “the evil eye” with spicy pepper, and a sunny side egg cooked right in the center. Thats good pizza!

  • QOTD: I’m a pepperoni guy. I sometimes pick, sometimes eat straight-up. But always with crushed red pepper and Parmesan cheese.

  • Kristen

    QOTD: Ok, pizza really needs to be from the Northeast. I really like pepperoni and black olives. Or black olives with onions. Mmmm…and some garlic too. Broccoli pizza is delicious as well. Now, I really want some pizza!

  • TheDumbPhase

    QOTD:
    Grimaldi’s Brooklyn pie with sausage, garlic, anchovies, fresh tomatoes and a sprinkle of Parmesan (no motz.). There is a reason people wait three hours for a Grimaldi’s pie.

    Man, whatever you were smelling in that wine must have been screwing with your head. Great stuff. Looking forward to trying a Greco at some point.

    QOTD: I love the New York style pepperoni pizzas with the huge pepperonis. Thin “undercrust” but a thick outer crust is great too. And I have to admit, I love pizza that has mozzarela baked into the crust. Pizza Hut had it for awhile, but Pizza Hut is crap pizza. Anyway, New York style pepperoni pretty much rocks my socks off.

    I’ve got a box of my old ‘Turtles, I’ll have to start digging around in the closets and find a couple for ya.
    QOTD: I dig some mushrooms, black olives, onions, peppers on my pizza, as many meats as possible, and lots of cheese. Standard crust does the trick, not greasy airy pan, not crunchy charred thin.

    What happened to the new look intro yesterday??? I really thought it was slick and nice.

    QOTD: nothing beats the simple pizze margharita in a mom-and-pop in the back streets of Rome

    QOTD: Thick pizza, lots of sauce, with pep and green peppers.

  • amgryger

    I’m a fan of Greco. Have you ever had a Gravina DOC? It’s made from Malvasia and Greco and kind of interesting, though I admit that since I’ve been to Gravina in Puglia, it gets nostalghia points with me.

    QOTD: I like black olives on my pizza.

  • rob in indy

    QOTD: thin crust all the way.. ever had pizza from the Calumet in Jasper, Indiana.. mmm.. good.. pizza should only be served with finely ground sausage.. absolutely no sausage balls permitted…I was on a bbq chicken pizza kick but that’s over.. Great show.. I’ll now have to add the Greco di tufo to the buy list.. I though WLTV would be a new good hobby/entertainment but all it does is cost me more money

    Nice episode, I love high acid wines, they just go with food so much better than soft fruity wines.
    QOTD; I am single and lazy, but I honestly enjoy a quality frozen cheese pizza, with fresh toppings from the garden. I use whatever is in season green, red, and hot peppers, eggplant, green onions, tomatoes, leeks, shallots, garlic, spinach, even aspargus. Fresh herbs also bring nice flavors, like basil oregano rosemary thyme, depending on what the combination of toppings are. I also like using a gormet mushroom meledy.
    In the winter I like a medeterian style with anchovys, green & black olives, capers, and banana peppers and some sun dried tomatoes. I just love pizza! there are no rules, just experiment and have fun, kind of like wine. Try something different! Why not!

  • Chuck D

    I envy your job today – eating pizza and drinking wine….I’ve never done white wine with pizza…another idea learned from WLTV, what would Sir Gary say about this pairing ?

    QOTD: NY style crust just plain with cheese or pepperoni and green peppers is a great combo in the topping world. Fold the slice into a U shape and eat.

    QOTD: I love Chicago Deep Dish with Italian Sausage and Green Peppers. If I’m going thin crust a white pizza with chicken, bacon and banana peppers is awesome too.

    Never heard of the Greco; I’m going to have to give that a shot!

  • Michelle Todd

    Pepperoni, pineapple and garlic pizza rocks! Spicy, salty, sweet, mmmmm…
