The toughest question of 2021

Whats the best pizza style?

Thin crust
Regular crust
Deep dish
Chicago
New York

And yes…..you can put Pineapple on pizza.

I like it all. Comes down to how good they are at making the different kinds

I judge a pizza with the bar set at a std. pepperoni. If they can knock that out of the park then i’m in. If they can’t get that right then they’re out.
I prefer a thin crust, not a fan of Chicago.

My fav is a thin crust sausage, black olive and throw a few onions on it. However I do like the sauerkraut thrown on there every once and a while.

I’m at the extreme’s, Chicago is my favorite but thin crust depending on toppings.

I did think the “toughest Question of 2021” was going to be will MN-FISH get the 2 lines bill passed.

To answer the original question, yes.

Those are the best….

If you get up to the Falls stop at Sammy’s they have pretty good sausage.

Not even MnFish could get that passed.

Anyone ever have a Shamrock pizza in Superior, WI? It dang near encompasses all of those if you can believe that. Thinner crust with the flavor and consistency of a regular crust or deep dish. It’s amazing. You can feel your pulse in your gallbladder after you eat it.

Thin crust for sure.
You can count on pepperoni being good.
Sausage is more variable, but I do like sausage, mushroom and black olives.
I also like the occasional Hawaiian pizza.

And I can do without 2 lines.

Thin crust pepperoni, sausage and mushroom.

Dutch, Border Bar makes a pretty good pizza too.

I like all manner of pizza. One of my favorite topping combo’s is

Also like a garbage pizza or just plain pepperoni sausage

You forgot Detroit (MI) style. The carmelized crust, cooked in a metal pan, is my go-to when I’m there.

Thin crust Canadian bacon and sauerkraut is one of the best!

Thin crust is probably my go to. But it’s tough to beat a well made Chicago. Italian sausage, mushrooms, onion, and extra cheese with just a thin coating of sauce.

Its all good when done correctly! For me the standard regular/pan crust probably ranks last though.

What about stuffed crust? Nothing like a classic Pizza Hut stuffed crust for a hefty dose of cheese overload! 😋 I’m really craving a pizza now for breakfast today. Thanks guys! 😂

I dunno what it is Sharon but I have never liked Pizza Hut. Just something about them I don’t like.

I know a few people who would agree with you actually! I’ve always like them though. Especially that stuffed crust! 😁

If you want a break from the usual try the Lucky Chicken pizza at Rafferty’s in Brainerd, Nisswa or Crosslake. It’s Cajun chicken, red onions and sweet lingonberry sauce on a thin crust. It sounds odd, but the combination of sweet and spicy is very good and is our favorite in Crosslake.

If one loves pizza, you love pizza crust in all it’s many forms.
In no particular order of greatness:

Casey’s bfast pizza

Jets turbo crust bbq chicken

Godfathers classic combo (becoming on of my favs)

Broadway pizza (original shop) Hawaiian

Lil caesars $5 lunch combo

All fairly different crust styles. All definitely would go good with the papa john’s garlic dip if available 😜

When I was young I liked thick crust piled with everything. Now I like thin crust and easy on the toppings.

I’ll eat any toppings really, no favorite.

I like a crust when it has good flavor all the way to the edge. Thin, hand tossed, or pan.
Yes, Sharon! I agree on the stuffed crust! Sometimes that’s the only way to go.
For toppings I’m more of just a meat guy. Pepperoni, Beef, Bacon.
I’ll eat pizza from almost any place. Little Caesars included! Its Pizza pizza!!!

Living in Crosslake there aren’t many choices. Frozen or ….

I spent the pandemic summer perfecting fresh homemade, off my gas grill, pizza.

According to most of my neighbor it is spectacular.

Fresh tomatoes, fresh and grated mozzarella, artichokes, mushrooms, a little grated pecorino romano (to dress the tomatoes), Kalamata olives, olive oil and garlic for the crust, and King Arthur Flour refrigerated pizza crust….. After baking the crust in the center is less than a 1/4 inch thick (not cracker thin but not thick)

If your mouth is watering here is a pic of one off the grill

Thin crust sausage, pepperoni and green olives is our standard. Sammie’s here in Cloquet is pretty good, but I think the best thin crust I’ve ever had was at the original Liberty Bell Chalet in Hurley WI. That and their homemade Caesar salad were simply incredible!!

I honestly couldn’t believe that any of you didn’t bring up that they must be cooked on stone. Doesn’t matter too much if you do the stone fire pit or the stone oven. Must be baked on stone. Gives the perfect finish to a crust and takes out the water from the tomatoes, peppers, and onions so you don’t get doughballs

As for “Chicago Style”, that was made and named for everyone that hasn’t been to Racince. I am assuming those that brought it up was talking about the over-sauced doughballs that we made fun of?? Whenever we see Shitcago-Style on a menu while traveling, we see the red flag to stay away from it.

You forgot Detroit (MI) style. The carmelized crust, cooked in a metal pan, is my go-to when I’m there.
