>dude just eat at your local pizzeria it's better than chain pizza lmao>this is the mediocre shit local gives youi'll stick with my papa johns pies, thank you.
>ate my local pizzeria>pizza was $32 for a costco-sized XL>tastes just like costco>i paid $32 for a costco pizzayeah but support local business tho
>>20471142How about you stick to my dick. Faggot.
>>20471146yeah, i forgot to add that the local kike families charge you almost double for their mediocre trash.
>>20471142 10/10 would eat. nothing wrong with that.
That is literally a papa johns pizza
>>20471142>mediocre shitWhat exactly is wrong with it?
>>20471299It's not cut into squares like a local pizzeria usually does.
>>20471142LOOKS LIKE SHIT. IF YOU DONT LIVE IN NY JUST STICK WITH CHAIN SHIT.WILL FLYOVERS EVER LEARN?BOB "BIG HOSS" MCCLOUDUSMC E-4 1968-1972LOCAL 780, RETIREDGO JETS, GO KNICKS
>>20471142idk that looks awesome to me
>>20471142That pizza looks like shitYou suck
my local pizzeria (which I liked at the time) shut down because of health code violations, it eventually got replaced by a little caesars
>>20471142cringe crust. you must live in a dead small town. this is as cliche as it gets
I've got a local place that is cheaper and generally equivalent or better than a chain
>>20471575>LocalMe too it's called my kitchen
>>20471662I mean I do that too, but when I'm too lazy for that I can get a 16" 'zza with a 20oz drink for $17
>>20471146>>20471149>he doesn't know what markup isthe cost of a major distribution platform vs the cost of buying ingredients at cash n carry are not the same.
>>20471331Based grandma pizza posterFucking love that shit.
>>20471142if youre not eating that, your not really my friend
>>20471416>TFW call up the local place I frequent to order some ‘za but the person answering is grumpy and now I can’t trust them anymore
>>20471146This has been my experience 9/10 times I attempt to "support local business": massively overpaying for mediocre products. There are a handful of local places I don't mind paying extra to support because they actually have superior products but they're the exceptions.
>>20471142>Pajeets in the burns of Hongcouver keep opening pizzerias.>Uniformly mediocre with identical menus>Extremely cutthroat competition, will literally open across the street from an existing one and commit MAD>Prices are insanely low, like the whole business is really an immigration scam kinda low>3 large three toppings for 34 dollars(25 USD) is not uncommon deal>One place lasted six months and sold large three toppings for 10 bucksIm not saying its good 'za, but neither are the chains. I got a lot of mileage out of them when I was a poor bachelor.
>>20471667costco pizza is marked up too, the owners of that local pizza place are not hurting when they're probably literally reselling costco pizza, just burn it some more so nobody can tell>>20472087all my "local businesses" sell dropshipped garbage from china, the same stuff I can buy myself directly at 1/10th the price
>>20471149Hmm its almost like a family run place that makes their pizza by hand would have higher costs in this economy than a giant corporation that ships in frozen pizza and heats it up, and subsidies it with memberships to the store
>>20471142When I lived in Hartford, I tried some local places and most of them weren't very good. The one exception was the Frank Pepe's over in West Hartford.There were some halal pizza places that used all-beef toppings. Most of them sucked shit (you really can't do sausage or pepperoni with beef) but there was one place that did a great job and made some better calzones than what I'd had at "Italian" places.
>>20472841They still used beef pepperoni for their pizza but somehow it wasn't as bad as other places. My standard order was extra cheese, pepperoni, and olives.
>>20472846Anyway, here's one of the shitty places.
>>20472853Here's another.
>>20472856And here's another.
>>20472858This was near the hospital where I used to work. The neighborhood around the hospital wasn't the best so we never walked offsite for lunch.
>>20471142>Gave local pizza place a try>Food was ass>Gave local pool hall a try>Food was ass>Gave local corpo franchises a try>Food was ass (but cheaper)>Gave local small franchise a try (Expanded to 28 locations 17 years after their founding)>Food was better than anything else in town at its price range.The sad truth is that mom and pop places stay mom and pop because the fucking suck and any independent restaurant that's actually good will become multi-location within 5 years as proof.
>>20472861There's a place on the Hartford / West Hartford border whose thing is bigass slices, but they're not that great and definitely not NY style. They're better than some pizzerias around there but they're not fantastic.
>>20472858This "Greek" style seemed to be popular around the area but I never understood who would want it.
>>20471142>localI live in Cali (necessity, not by choice), I’d rather not pay $100 for a pie.
that's some nice looking 'zas in this thread, I would all of them
They don't have 2 topping pan pizzas for $8 dollars each so I'm ok
>>20472871But here's the only truly good place around there, the Pepe's location in West Hartford. New Haven style. I guess this could be called "cheating" but whatever.
>>20472853Just remembered this place had the worst "garlic knots" I'd ever seen. Just balls of dough dusted with garlic powder and oil.
>>20472841>Frank Pepe'sA classic of CT. Don't they carry Greek style there?
>>20472901Not unless they've dramatically reinvented their menu after decades. New Haven style only.
>>20472871I grew up on Greek. If you want a crispy but not blackened thick crust it's a good way to go. Local joint I went to as a kid has some decent, albeit greasy, Greek pies.>>20472877Not gonna lie I wanna try their clam pie, just to see if it's worth learning to make.>t. yank
>>20472914Gotcha, never been so I never knew. The asymmetrical pies are a nice clue as to their authenticity, being oven fried rather than sent in preshaped and parbaked.
>>20472917I will say there was one Greek-style place in the area that did a decent job, George's Pizza House, but I could just never get my arms around the style in general.
>>20472922>being oven fried rather than sent in preshaped and parbakedYou just reminded me of an experience I had at a place up in *New* Hartford. I was doing some antique shopping and I stopped in. Ordered a medium pie... and they said "we're out of medium." I was really confused and got a large instead. It was disgusting.
>>20472064All of the "small businesses" I go into have grumpy owners and employees. I mean, I know I'm ugly, but at least PRETEND to want my money. I walked into your rent trap shithole for a reason.
AI tranny is shitting the board again
>>20471142We have a local pizza place called Pizza Wagon. Their Brooklyn-style pies are REALLY good. We get them pretty often (meaning like six or eight times a year, which is more than we get any other kind of pizza). I'm happy to buy local in this case.
>>20471331Fck you boomer
>>20472369If they gave a shit about keeping costs low mom and pop shops were primed to out perform chains. Pizza place I go-to I get a large 14" pizza with four toppings and 20 wings for 37 dollars. Dominos that would be close to 50. Chains don't have the luxury to suddenly shift their supply chains or ingredients. Mom and pop places can cut out middle men, change up their cheese supplier, hunt for deals on veggies, cut down their menu, etc.
>>20472914There's always one Portnoy guy that has to ruin the thread....
I usually get pizza from my local one because its good (I've had better but its far from mediocre) and its only 500 meters from where I live.
>>20471142Papa John's is shitPizza hut is shitDomino's is shitAll large chain pizza is shit and goyslop/plebfeedSo is most non chain pizza The moral of the story is - good pizza is hard to find. When you find a good pizza place, make sure you keep giving it business so it stays around. Right now I only get pizza from two places near me. One is a small local chain and the other is an Italian restaurant.
>>20471142>get perfectly good pepperoni pizza>cry about it???
What kind of hellhole do you guys live in where local restaurants suck? Where I'm at in texas the local places are mostly great. Only a few places around here are bland and overpriced but that's why you always look at pictures of their food before going.
>>20473673Texas blows no matter how good its food is
>>20473678I'd agree about Houston and Austin. Living in those places sucked even if there was good food. DFW area isn't bad though. Yet
>>20472927If you ever roll down to Nashville, on the way there there's a decent pizza / coffee / beer joint that has good thin crust. All sorts of oddball toppings.
I'm sorry you live in an area where people are pathologically unable to properly cook. : (Even the worst local place in my area is pretty good and both better and cheaper than the chains, and that's with the chains offering their coupons and deals.
>>20472853looks undercooked
Most pizza (chain or local) is awful these days. When you have something with only a few ingredients, like pizza, and then cheap out on the quality of those ingredients; the quality of the dish can nosedive. It's why I usually only eat homemade pizza now.Check out this microblistering on one of my latest pies:
I'm lucky to have a local brick oven pizza place that's the same price as Domino's and better than every chain. It's not that much better though and if I feel like pan pizza I'll still go to Domino's
>>20473673they must be in wypipo states like Vermont
>>20471142>eat at your local (thing)>prices are twice as high as chain restaurant and even chain fast food>quality is shittier>half the people who eat there a month get food poisoning>the business does nothing to contribute to the communityBASED!!!!
>>20471142>mediocreThe word you're looking for is mid.
>>20473825You forgot about all the fires you retard it just makes it taste good
>>20473770Got a good framework for 'za? Don't need specific flavors or ingredients, but stuff like hydration, gluten content, and proofing framework are appreciated. I'm still a novice with breadmaking but I understand it conceptually.
>>20472948Huh?
>>2047387985% hydration, 60% 00 flour and 40% cornstarch, and 30 minutes of proofing. Overnight fermentation is a meme.
>>20471331Why is a New Yorker eating Detroit-style pizza?
>>20471142>eat local pizza in Sweden>its actually bad enough to make a man leave the country
>>20471142my local pizzeria serve "scrap pizza" for $5 a pieif they do something like burn a pizza, or drop it on the floor and mangle it etc etc they serve it up for only $5 got pic related last weekend
>>20474328at this point you'd be better off dumpster divingwho pays $5 for floor pizza??
>>20474332I do! I dumpster dive from my local Little Ceasers on a regular basismy town has quite a bad rat infestation currently though, so you gotta get there sharpish!!they say the early bird gets the worm, but in my town it seems the early rat gets the pizza
>>20474343>the early rat gets the pizzaquite a way with words there
>>20474343>eating $5 pizzas that've been dropped on a floor>racing rats to get ceasers pizza out of dumpstersare you doing alright anon?
>>20474354im doing finei make a good living drawing furry art for 'connoisseurs' online, and i own my own trailerperhaps if more people lived like me and tried to avoid waste, the world would be a much better place
>>20474357can you draw sonic saying "im proud of you joey" to prove your really a furry artist
>>20474371maybe if you have $75 spare
>>20471667>people not wanting to pay markup means they don't know what it isYou really are retarded. You must work at dominos.
this thread makes me want to get some dominos
>>20471142Faggots, all of you for buying pizza of all things. I can have a pizza in the oven 15 minutes from walking in the door. Prepping batches of dough to save in your fridge is not hard at all.>>20473879The key to good pizza crust is high gluten flour and a pizza stone. Everything after that helps to be mindful of but that's the big one. It's not something you have to be super strict about.Also I like to put in a little garlic and rosemary in my dough because I'm just a rebel like that.
What can I put on my pizza instead of cheese?It's really hard to find good cheese here.
>>20474438Try tomato sauce, toasted bread crumbs, and olive oil.
>>20474442Got 'chovies in there?
>>20474037>cornstarch Aiming for a friable dough?>>20474432That's what I would figure. Don't have a commercial oven, 475° reasonable? Thinking 45/45/10 whole wheat bread / white bread / rye flours.
>>20474847I'm assuming that recipe is some sort of troll, with the biggest giveaway being only 30 minutes of proofing.
>>20474328>throw in trash>sell to retard for $5the free market provides
>>20473596It's never been easier to have your own pizza oven at home now though. Thanks to ooni, there are half a dozen options for $200-300 pizza ovens out there. No longer does the pleb have to make a brick oven outside. The pleb can now make authentic perfect pies right at home, with whatever shit they want as toppings. They even sell pizza dough kits now, and jarred/canned pizza sauce is a thing. Send em all to hell and make your own.
>>20471142You have bad taste and deserve death.
>>20471142>Pizza Hut NY style 18 inch 'za teleports behind youNothing personal, kid
>>20474328I can get a frozen pizza for 5 bucks that isn't infested with floor aids.
>>20471142Looks actually better than your average pzzaslop boi
>>20474128That's a "grandma" pizza.
>>20471146My local joint delivers a pie for 16 €, it's 12 if you eat in and I live in a notoriously expensive European country. How fucking wild is US inflation or are these just big city prices? How large are we talking?
>>20475769Pizza here I just bought in Long Island NY was $21. They are huge though. Most euro pizzas look tiny.
>>20475775Large ones go up to 22 euros plus delivery, but I always order the smallest one for 16 € delivery included which is about 30 cm/12" in diameter. Four toppings out of which two are meat.
>>20474328based slop pig
>>20471146>yeah but support local business thoYes
>>20474128It's a sicilian pie you fucking nigger
>>20471416The local pizzeria my local university often orders from sometimes slips in pamphlets on the pizza boxes from other local business around town and half the time it’s pamphlets from dispensaries. Nice people though
>>20476677it's all terribly confusing
Pizza gives me the shits
>>20476709Left is Sicilian, right is grandma.Right?
>>20475769American XL pizzas are like 3x the size of a euro pixxa
>>20471331That legit looks amazing, boomer bob. Not even memeing. I'm so hungry right now I shouldn't even be browsing this board
>>20472846That pizza looks crap. Where is the sauce?
>>20474328That's absolutely brilliant if you ask me. And I would be all over it like a rash
>>20475184Yeah, kinda figured myself. Still worth checking for replies.
>>20471142My local pizzeria made great pizzas and they had an all you can eat service but during the coofloo they closed and a dominos pizza opened in their place.It saddens me to visit their website to see it still has "copyright 2021"
>>20471142The way the pepperoni are arranged concentrically you can tell they actually put some love into this.
>>20471142looks delicious
>>20477069Imagine a chain that did fake overpriced italian pizzas and spelled it like "pissa" and if you ordered the super slap from your auntie taste of home deluxe extra triple italian feast one for $99, the waitress would take you behind the bar to watch her piss before bringing you your pizzaThat would give /ck/fags something to "do Americans really?" about
>>20471331Damn they put basil leaves and some of the sauce went on top of the cheese waaoww!("real authentic" Italian pizza has tomato slices under the cheese, not sauce on top of it to be le unique)
>>20474328This is peak retard. You can get a frozen pizza at wal mart for $5 and not have to eat dandruff and rat shit
>>20480880Nobody thinks or wants American pizza to be fucking Italian-style. While Italian Americans are subhuman and often pretend their shit is authentic - nobody else is as stupid as them, and nobody cares. America Italian slop is good in a different way.. Italians should eat the bullet too honestly the way they bitch about anyone doing anything with food.
>>20480972Modern Italian (Italy) pizza is a backported copy of Italian-American pizza. You are an illiterate, hysterical faggot and should consider suicide.
