Having had pizza from Portland, Chicago, and NYC... I would easily say Portland is 3rd on that list. Hot Lips is my go to here, and it's REALLY good... but the pizza I had in downtown Chicago in May was the best pizza I've ever had. And in NYC I had pizza twice (once in Hells Kitchen, the other in the Village) and it was far and away better than Hot Lips. And thats saying something.
Hawaiian pizza was invented in Canada by a Greek immigrant, who was inspired by Chinese food to put a South American ingredient on an Italian dish, that went on to be most popular in Australia
That is an awesome title. I also want to add that I am fine with pineapple on a pizza, but it is not my favorite topping
...I lean towards crispy but not saltine crispy...I like my crust to be thin and have some crunch on the bottom but also have some texture while chewing...and of course, great flavor.
i made a crab rangoon pizza the other day (made the filling to put on top like the sauce/cheese.), and topped it with boneless spare ribs and a little mozzarella, then finished it out of the oven with some scallions and some wonton strips from the salad aisle on top. pretty bomb.
i cant bake (cakes/pies) worth a shit. All about them weird pizzas tho, i do a pretty epic Big Mac pizza occasionally as well. Thousand island dressing for sauce, mozz, cooked hamburg, diced onions on top. Soon as it comes out i layer some american cheese slices on top so they melt a little, and then top with cold lettuce and pickles. Ive tried cooking the pickles in, they are good that way, the vinegar seeps out a lil and gives it a little tang, but the texture can be hit or miss depending on the brand.
pro tip, make a thin crust peanut butter and jelly pizza for the kids, top with a little marshmallow fluff golden browned.
By the way, I was born in Atlanta. Still got a ton of relatives there. One of my uncles as a deputy sheriff in Fulton County, the county I was born in. Love their farmer's market. Massive.
