I don't get it, I just don't get this obsession with pizza? Is it 'cause you all watched too much teenage mutant ninja turtles or what? Is it caused by marketing from other U.S. sources? This obsession is almost ceratinly coming from the U.S.
I don't mind pizza now and again but there are loads of other foods / dinners that are ten times nicer and just as easy to make.
As for take away food, give me an Indian over pizza any day.


mmmm....shepherds pie.

It's not an obsession. It is a personal preference. Some people really like pizza, simple as that.

Are you talking about Goodfellas or some other ****e, or actual proper pizza?

It's like saying "I don't like that dolmio bolognese, spag bol must be ****e so".

It's ludicrously easy to make really good pizza.
Invest in a pizza stone. Buy raw dough (or even better, make it!).
It's also simple to make pizza sauce.
A bit of practice needed to get a pizza just right (not too soggy, not too dry, the base cooked enough).

If you're cooking a thin-base pizza then you'll be cooking at high temperature (as high as your oven goes) for a small amount of time. It'll easily cook any raw rashers, sausages etc on your pizza.

There's a few random places I've been to that do magnificent pizza's - Ballymore Inn, Ballymore Eustace, Co. Wicklow and the Sober Lane in Cork city.

Aye but them Glaswegians will eat anything hot to keep warm given their climateup there lol

As for the Yorkshire lads (I'm a frequent visitor to Sheffield) they have a more discerning pallette .....

Any kind of pizza be it home made, shop bought or from a good restaurant. Of course home made is far nicer and I've had it but I still don't get it, how people rave about pizza?
And when they argue about domino's over pizza hut, I have to leave the room as I could easily lose the canopy! They are both shíte.

Some buck from Mayo who I used to room with passed on this recipe to me. Toast 5-6 slices of bread, Melt cheese and pour onto bread. Choose toppings and apply onto your base, 5 mins in oven at low temp. Voila, ready made slices of home made pizza. That's probably the greatest life skill I acquired from college.

All this Pizza talk reminded me of this gem ......

I once BBQ'd a Goodfella's pizza. You lose some of the toppings, but tastes damn good.

If you were Australian, you would have put an egg on it as well.

Crazy Aussies!

Egg is the nicest pizza topping! Fiorentina pizza, oh yum.

Plus 1000 on that. Pineapple has no place on

On a Hawaiian pizza it sure does.

Pizza lends itself to being fast food because, err.. it cooks quickly. That and it doesn't require much skill to make.

In a country like Ireland we don't have much of a gourmet culture; you get the likes of Dominoes or Four Star as a result. In France or Italy the same niche is filled by far superiour quality of pizza but it's basically consumed in the same way.

Even bad pizza's nice though, so it's no wonder it's popular pretty much everywhere.
