Tim, Real Pizza Is On The Way!!

[Punch The Clown]

I want to put this pizza business to bed. I sent you some local pizza from L&B Spumoni Gardens. I'm sure it isn't up to Sean's standard but it is good enough for the cast of the Soprano's. I've seen Paulie Walnuts there a couple of times. It isn't the best in the city, but it's right near my house. Let me know how it tastes reheated.

[timshufflin]

Bro, I'll be in the house in about 2 hours, I'll get more info, out...

[timshufflin]

Okay Stu, here's what I'm doing with this experiment tomorrow. I will be having Scott his wife and three children from across the street, my wife, one of my sons, and the Yoder's from down the road over for a blind taste test. Your pizza will have an obvious disadvantage so I've tried to account for yours needing re heating.

Peppi's pizza from our place is long considered to be a good pie by both you, Sean, and everyone in this test ( I don't like it ).
I like jets Pizza a lot.
1. I will be having a pizza from Peppi's delivered tonight to re-heat tomorrow.
2. I will be having a fresh Peppi's pizza's delivered tomorrow.
3. I will be getting one 8 corner Jett's pizza tomorrow, I really like Jett's.
4. I have a Lou Malnati (Ranked Best pizza in the world and in chicago, I love it!) pizza being shipped here and will be here tomorrow, cost me a flipping fortune.
5. I will be having your L&B Pizza re heated.

The delivered Pizzas will be warmed the same and everyone will be given a blind taste test by me. My wife will be giving me a blind taste test. Obviously, your pizza, the re heated Peppi's pizza, and Lou malnati's Pizza's are at a huge disadvantage but we'll see.

Stay tuned for results tomorrow night, Pizza night at Shuff's!

Pizza will be ranked as follows and each area on a scale of 1 to 5;

Crust Texture taste
Sauce taste
Cheese taste
Overall Taste
These scores are not being averaged for overall taste, the taster is being asked to give an overall taste score.

May the best pizza win.

HA HA! Stu, you're screwed. 5 day-old reheated Jet's that was left out in the garage is still going to be 10 times better than anything from NY.

BTW, I just got back from having the worst steak I've ever actually paid for. Yes, they can't even cook a steak here. It is so pathetic. I hate this place

Sean, I fear that your premonition could be accurate. I have promised Stu though that I would be fair and prompt in my subjective findings.

[timshufflin]

Just adding that All Pizza's in the test are pepperoni and cheese only. I had to keep all things equal.

In NY they can't even get McDonalds right. You want them to try wings??????? McDonalds spends billions creating a system that is so simple that anything with a room-temperature IQ, opposable thumbs, and the ability to walk somewhat upright can master it. I've been to several dozen McD's in NYC - not only have these things not mastered it, they can't even stumble through it. Ordering wings in this hole would be foolish

Well there's your problem your in the wrong part of the state.. Come up to Buffalo and we'll show you food that will clog your arteries faster than IHCs will fly off the South Store racks. :)

Tim the LB pizza i peparoniless and I'm afraid at re-heated crust will be at a big dis-advantage, but we'll see.

Bro, are you seriously stupid? I told you I love pepperoni, it's all I ever order when we're together. I asked for %$^&*#$ pepperoni. Sean's right, you people can't even work at McDonald's I give up! You better be @#^&*$# kidding me.


Edited for my bad language.

What is that mess in the photo? If that's chicken, do your own taste test :) I hate that stuff :( God I hate chicken!

Are we looking for the best pizza or good pepperoni? Would you like ketchup for your steak???

[timshufflin]

Wow, leave the cheese off and and say the same.
Leave the sauce off, or as you call it "gravy", and say the same.
Pepperoni is as vital to pizza as sauce or cheese you nit.

It's like dealing with my brother's little kids.

I eagerly await the results of this test. I am sure that Jets will win though. Jet's opened a store here about 2 years ago. We were very reluctant to try at first due to Jet's being from Michigan. With a leap of faith we took the plunge and ordered an 8 corner pizza.. it was the first of very many. Jet's rocks.

So Tim - What kind of beer will you be using during your pizza taste test? That is a very important component to this test.

Ho, ho, I see some serious pizza eaters here....Peperoini? whats that? I like barbique pork and chicken on my Pizza, gee I hope I don't get banned for my preferences....Nope No ketchup on my steak either, Only A-1 or some steak sauce...Not a Beer drinker..yet..

[jak]

Correct. The original pizza only had sauce and mozzarella cheese. That is how the test should be conducted.

If you have to put anything on your steak it's not cooked right or a bad cut of meat. Steaks should come off the grill, onto your plate and into your belly with no A1, ketchup or any of that crap.

[cuppednlocked]

Only A-1 or some steak sauce...

Not only a no, but a HELL NO to sauce on a steak! Make mine Pittsburgh style cooked on the rare side of medium rare.

[timshufflin]

Putting anything on your steak except herbs, pepper, or salt seems savage.
I've traveled the country and I'm here to tell you that pepperoni is the most standard item on a pizza and is more prolific then cheese only.
I'm well aware that an east coaster may not feel as strongly about pepperoni. I worked for Taco Bell for 17 years and we had to dumb down all our recipes so as to make them bland enough for east coasters. Meat Seasoning, hot sauce, very bland on account of the east coast.
The pizza's have all now arrived. Stu lied! There is pepperoni on this pizza you MORON! Why do you play with my heart?
Testing is at 6pm tonight.
Results by 8pm tonight.
I will be washing down my pizza with caffeine free diet Coke. I never eat pizza with beer, I know I know, I am abnormal. Again, traveling the country I am well aware that I'm F'd up regarding my choice of beverage while eating pizza.

[timshufflin]

Pizza was invented by the Greeks and neither the Italian or American version resemble it.
Without America there would be no Italian Pizza. They didn't have the tomato's and when they did, they thought they were poisonous.
The most popular pizza topping is pepperoni at 32%, cheese only isn't even close at 8 pathetic percent!


http://www.businessinsider.com/the-most-popular-pizza-toppings-chart-2013-10

Pepperoni dominates as the most popular pizza topping. A whopping 36% of people order pepperoni on their pizzas, according to research by business advisor Brian Roemmele. Roemmele researched point-of-sale data from 604 pizza locations across the United States. Here's the chart of his findings, which was first posted to Quora (http://www.quora.com/What-are-the-most-popular-pizza-toppings/answer/Brian-Roemmele):

I am afraid that having a sweet soda pop will skew the taste of the pizza, if the pizza uses a sweet sauce. Water or beer should be your only choices. Just my $.02

Riverside Pizza, Iron River MI has the finest pie in Michigan. Home Run Inn has the best pizza in Chicago. If deep dish is your thing then I guess one could try Gino's or Numero Uno.


If you must torture yourself with a chain pizza joint then Rosati's or Lou Malnati's will suffice just fine.


Everything else is crap.


And nothing but herbs and a few spices on my steak (rare side of medium). However, I will cook my shrooms in a mixture of butter, Worchestershire sauce, garlic and onions.

[timshufflin]

[Jimbo Slice]

NYC shit pizza = Lou Malnati's frozen platter?

[Punch The Clown]

So the nyc shit pizza frozen and re-heated that Sean could have had anytime he wanted instead of playing the martyr didn't fair that poorly amongst the Michigan voters? I think Sean isn't happy unless he's miserable.

Good Deal and the winner was TIM as he had all the Pizza he could eat and some left over...Glad to see the wide ranges of tastes listed here..We only have pizza chains here, so it is mostly the$8.99 meat lovers from Little Ceasars, if it is not from a frozen box, only in emergency type stuff....Steaks? Sometimes I would rather not...usually a small cut, without bone or fat....

[Old Guard]

Agreed, But a lot of the lower-priced steaks Do NEED HELP..sometimes overly dry. and yeap I love the fried onions and mushrooms, that come with some of them..

I know for a fact that the little caesarshot n ready deep dish IS a frozen pizza. I cant say for sure about the standard crust ones

Talked to Sean today and he ADMITTED to having a great pizza in nyc! Tell them Sean, admit to it!

You are correct, Tim. After dozens of attempts to find a decent pizza in NYC and finding nothing good enough to be called "dog food", I finally found a very good pie in new york shitty. We found a Dominoes close enough to the hotel to deliver. The pizza and lava cakes were quite good. Thanks, Dominoes!!!

[axemurderer]

Sean

WTF is a lava cake and why would you eat it with pizza?????

I also think that sending your pizza to be reviewed by residents of a town where POSSUM is an acceptable pizza topping means little. But, I am a fair and honest man. Send me the SAME pizza you sent Tim. Same size. Same toppings. Same everything. I will try it and offer my honest opinion. If I am wrong, I will be the first to admit it. Right now, it's up to you to prove me wrong. The gauntlet has been thrown. This is your last and final chance with nyc pizza.

[seaninmich]

Oh, and I insist on paying all cost associated with getting that pie to me. I don't expect you to have to take out of your own pocket. Let me know what we need to do.

[timshufflin]

Wow, I was just talking to Stu today and we were chatting about pizza and this post. Stu was going to ask you to pay the freight because he already spent about $100 on my pizza. You are a gentleman Sean.

You guys crack me up!!

[seaninmich]

You guys crack me up!!


this is no laughing matter. Stu has two choices:

1) man up and admit that nyc pizza is, like all the other slop they call food there, the worst shit pie on earth

OR

2) send me his treasured wonder-pizza and either prove me wrong or find out once and for all that I am right

Yes, it's that simple
