Best/strangest pizza concoction

Inspired somewhat by the pancake/pizza battle below, I now post a corollary question that's worthy of it's own thread- what's the best custom pizza? Not so much favorite brand, but rather favorite personal mix of toppings. Admitted, place you get it from is as important as what's on there, but not so important as it being a unique favorite blend of your own.

Mine- Jerk chicken/bacon pizza with barbecue sauce and cheese. Damn tasty. I know of only one place I can order it from, Silly's in Portland ME. Seeing as I live here, life is good.

James

Pineapple + Pepperoni + Extra Cheese + Jalapeno pepper slices (sometimes) = good stuff.

Well, as I mentioned in the other thread...

I start out a pizza from this local place. It is thin, greasy, and costs way too much, but it does taiste good.

Anyway, just chees, cause meat doesnt go too well w/ the sweat stuff. Then I put on Strawberry's w/ syrup (as in what you would put on a shortcake) then top it off w/ a bit of whip cream.

Suprisingly good.

And again, really not on topic, but later on that night I found another good mix. I took a can of vanilla coke, sprayed some chocolate whip cream in it, then toook a drink. IT IS FANTASTIC. You have to put a spray of it on the opening very couple of drinks cause it will melt if you actually put it into the can.

Pepperoni and mushrooms.

Also, a place near uptown (Brasil, for the Houstonites) has a goat cheese and chicken pizza. Very good, though I've not been there in months (mainly due to the clientel, also due to a little place across the street called Empire Cafe being better overall...).

Bill Batemans Bistro in Severna Park, Maryland makes "Buffalo Pizza". Which tastes like buffalo wings, and comes with blu cheese dip.

I love it.

Who likes CORN on their pizza?

You're missing out Lhadatt!

Screw Brasil and the Empire Cafe - overpriced bohemian cafes that are all image and no substance.

You want godly pizza in Houston? Head straight on HWY 59 towards downtown and then exit Travis St. Go straight on Travis street until you see the Houston Chronicle building and right across the street from that on you're right side will be a place called Frank's Pizza, (right next to it is the Cabo Wabo nightclub) - try going in the evenings, its less busy then. The pizza is godlike, just as Tracer if you don't believe me. I usually just get two slices (slices are huge like they should be - this is real pizza after all).

There is one of those paying parking lots right next to Frank's, you may have to pay 7 dollars for parking (its so expensive due to its close proximity within the city) - but I'd recommend paying just for the convience - if you're with friends you can split the parking fee and it won't be so bad. Whenever I go, usually with Tracer, we always sit upstairs in the corner table that looks like its reserved for Tony Spagoni and his cronies.


Also, the 2nd best place for pizza (and one that is easier to get too) is called New York Pizza - the one on Holocombe St. (just off Kirby) near the medical center. The restuarant is in this really unnoticable small shopping center and is next to radioshack. Directly across the street from New York Pizza is a Taco Bell and McDonalds (it should be easier to find it that way).

The atmospherre of the place is very low key and unpretentious, and the pizza is amazing (get sausage and pepperoni) - its better to get it by the slice (huge slices...even bigger than franks sometimes) - they're only 2.95 for a slice that is twice as big as a dinky pizza from Brasils. Oh and refillable fountain drinks!

You can order pizzas with Potato wedges on them here. I'm to scared to try that.

I agree that Pepperoni and Mushrooms = greatness but from Brazil? Ack! I tell, you - go to New York Pizzaria @ Holcombe & Greenbriar or Franks Pizza by the Slice on Travis & Preston St. downtown. I also agree with the clinetel bit (man - I almost NEVER agree with you) but I don't find Empire Café to be particularly better =/

In any case - Have you been to Agora? My place of choice to catch a pint of Duvel.

ºTracer

EDIT: Station beat me to it.

well i normally go with this little pizza place in dallas, you gotta get it with extra cheese and jerk chicken...that pizza is the best
but seeing as i'm only in dallas once a year i'd have to go with this pizza place i ate at last night called pizza palace, plain cheese....so good

mmm eggplant pizza mmm
Anyways, the best pizza = cheese and sauce :wtf:

that was peperoni last night

Pegus... sun dried tomatoes, good fucking sauce, sunflower seeds, olives, mushrooms, cheese, parmesan cheese, spicy strips of pepperoni, and what ever else you feel like having on you made to order pizza. even warm its good. normally, I prefer my pizza cold (if at all)

I like thin crust cheese and mushrooms with extra sauce from Dominoes. Tommorow is two for Tuesday day :)

No no, Brasil didn't have that. ^_^ Pepperoni & mushrooms was just in general. However, I have to give credit to them for the pizza. It was pretty good. Not good enough to make me suffer through uppity clubby people though.

As far as Empire goes -- they're within an acceptable range for Italian, and the pasta is why I like them. I've not had their pizza, but my sister said it was only ok. The coffee is kind of bleh, but no one makes coffee the way I like it -- if I taste the coffee and not what it's supposedly flavored with, it sucks. I've not had problems with the people at Empire, maybe because things are spread out more than at Brasil. However, it *is* a bit of a different crowd.

Where's Agora and what sort of place is it?

station:
I think I can find Frank's, I remember where Cabo Wabo is (I think). I'm not too knowledgable of Downtown -- even though I go to UHD, most of the time I'm down there I hit Evil Traffic or the Mayor.Lee.P.Brown. Funky Jive Rail Line Construction Spendalottamoney Project, so I haven't had time to explore. It doesn't help that I'm in Spring and haven't had many opportunities to check out anything inside the loop except for the past year or so. In short, I'm slow about finding places. ^_^

Any further education would be appriciated. :)

Franks should be easy to find - its on Travis st. and almost across from the Houston Chronicle building, and the Cabo Wabo sign can't be missed especially at night.

New York Pizzeria is close in proximity to Rice Village although not anywhere in it - its on the connecting street to Kriby called Holcombe...so coming from Hwy 59's Kirby exit take a right on Kirby and keep going a long way until you hit Holocombe st. Take a left on Holcombe and keep in your extreme left lane, eventually you will see a taco bell and mcdonalds on your right hand side - well directly across the street from them on your left in a rusty old shopping cetner is New York Pizza. NOW GO!

I'm pretty sure I remember that. My sister knows where it is, so maybe I'll drag her down there or something.

Sounds good. ^_^ PM/IM me and we can set up something.

I dunno, but my real name is Don Del Sol.

For over a year Pappa John's Pizza delivered pizza to the name Don Del Fool....

I wonder why the girl giggled when I told her my name.

Don

Taco Pizza, it's served at Woosta Pizza, in Worcester, Ma. its good

Gah, the horrors inflicted on innocent pizzas by you people. If you want to try real pizza, you're going to have to come to New Haven, CT - I've never had good pizza anywhere else (other than maybe NYC, but they're a distant 2nd).

White Clam pizza might sound weird, I guess - it's not, but it's also not something that Papa John's/whatever does.

I ordered pizza from a Papa John's at a friend's dorm room once. I figured I'd give them his name, since it wasn't my room. The guy's name was "Thad Mixon". The pizza was delivered to one "Bad Mixin'".
