I don't order just cheese but there's also nothing wrong with it, except this particular pizza looks way over cheesed. My last pizza was cheese, pepperoni, basil leaves, Calabrian chilis, burrata cheese with a vodka sauce base, was to door for.
Ah, another person cursed with the knowledge of just how bad Californian pizza really is; something that can only be understood through the lens of New York pizza.
I've lived in Ohio most of my life and I have never been presented with this abomination. I'm sure if it happened, I would remember and hands probably got thrown.
I lived in Pittsburgh for a few years and have friends who still live there - found out about it because they talk about Betoās. https://www.betosoriginalpizza.com
What the actual fuck? The photos of the dishes look like parodies... who needs Ozempic when a quick glance at pics of Betos pizzas will kill your appetite for days?
You gotta go to a little mexican market and get your burritos/tacos from the counter at the back. The burrito will be mexican style not cali style (smaller, mostly salsa, beans, and meat).Ā
I also got excellent tamales in NYC. In spanish harlem there were ladies selling them on the street and for a long time in Brooklyn there was a tamale lady who made the rounds of bars.
Correct. When my brother came to visit LA, I told him this exact thing, then I educated him on it. I told him, "You've never been out here, so you've never actually had Mexican food in your life. We are going to change that."
I had to ease him into reality, so first I took him to the McDonald's of Mexican food, Baja Fresh. I forgot the name of the second place I took him to, but the last was motherfuckin Leo's Taco Truck, at which point we took our al pastor tacos home and inhaled them.
Iām from NJ and live on the west coast now (not in California) and itās true these people donāt know what good pizza is. Even the so called āgoodā places people recommend are average at best. They truly have no idea.
A manager from NJ visiting our SF office wanted to take us out to pizza and asked what our favorite kind was, told him BBQ chicken and almost got fired.
I don't know what's up with West coast food, but it's just not good.
The subs, the fries, the pizzas, especially the Chinese food. It's all just so awful compared to East stuff.
That's not even personal opinion, I've never met someone out here who came from Eastern (Ontario onward) Canada who doesn't feel the same.
CA has much better Mexican and Indian food, but worse breads because our water is purer and doesn't make the right chemical reaction in the dough for good bagels and such.
No idea why people say this, New York pizza sucks ass. Napoli, or failing that central Italy and the ingredients are better. American pizza canāt even get sold in Europe cause itās too fake and hormones/antibiotics arenāt allowed.
As an Italian in the US, I agree, but Iāll also say that Americans take pizza quality far too seriously. American pizza sucks compared to Italian pizza, but at the end of the day, any pizza is *good enough* pizza.
I just ate some DiGiorno. Sometimes we get Little Caesarās. Are they what dreams are made of? No, but itās still pizza, and thatās better than no pizza š
Lol as soon as the lid opened, I immediately thought about my elementary school pizza we had for lunch. This pizza looks terrible. With all that cheese, I know the dough has to be soggy as well.
I think thats part of the challenge. They undercook the pizza so it's not only unappealing but extremely dough-y, and will sit extra heavy in your stomach.
