Looks good. Not a fan of crispy crust though.

Best was the pepperoni on the basil pesto side.

This was the first time i've had anchovies on pizza. They were pretty good on the red sauce side but were too strong on the basil pesto side.

I think we discussed this previously but has anyone used a Pizza Steel?

I've been meaning to have my steel fabricators cut me up a piece of 1/4" steel to try out, but never got around to it.   maybe I'll try to get it done...

Isn't there a toxicity issue to watch out for here?  I mean, I don't think it can be just any old type of steel.  Could be wrong? 

no.  carbon steel is fine.    only issue would be galvanized, as the fumes are toxic when heated (you should know that!)

you will need/want to season it like cast iron though.

ben ji, don't ever make pizza again.

Did we already discuss what type of crust is best? I like thin crust because I hate pointless carbs, but it seems like so much less pizza. It should not be the same price pizzas that have other crusts.

i like thin crust too.  all that dough seems superfluous.

usually thin when sober and/or making my own pizza, "normal" otherwise

Pizza price is based off how much cheese and toppings are used, not dough/crust.  Cheese is the single biggest expense at any pizza place.  Dough is super cheap, especially at places that make their own.  Sauce is pretty cheap too.  If you're into saucy pizzas, most places will give you extra sauce for free.

Sorry for explaining the market forces of pizza

skim milk is the tastier and more sensible option, unless you're concerned about ovulation. 

"A study in 2006 suggests that high intake of low fat or skim milk can impair a woman’s ability to ovulate whereas the intake of high fat dairy foods can improve female fertility. If you are planning for a baby or currently pregnant, you should stick to drinking whole milk."

could be the case that KKK and mr. KKK are trying to have a little kkk.  hope i didn't spoil any surprises here 

[pissclams]

i did a quick google search on "30 ounce milk glass" and got nothing.  but i'm sure these are customs that bread had made.  that's why there was nothing found in the 1,550,000 results i got back from google.

Thin Crust.  2%

Pizza Hut and other chain places dont make their own dough anymore

Pizza Hut doesn't.  I know for a fact that Little Caesars does - used to work there and hated making dough.  It was by far the biggest pain in the ass.  I think Papa Johns makes their own too.

Did you hate making dough as much as I did?  Half of what pissed me off about it was that you had to be 18+ to work the machine (which I was) and a lot of the time I'd be one of only two employees in there who weren't minors so I'd get mumped into making dough while everyone else was doing way easier stuff for the same pay.

[pissclams]

papa johns does not make their dough in house.  the dough balls are made in factories and then shipped in twice a week by UPS although the trucks look like papa johns trucks.

I wasn't 18! The old lady came in the mornings to make the dough!

I hated sheeting out the dough into the pans most of all. My favorite part was making and eating anything I could imagine.

Does anyone here know how they make the deep dish pizza? (shacks dq'd from this quiz)

[Shacks]

My favorite thing to do was getting drunk in the walk in freezer during morning/afternoon shifts when the only employees there were me and my really cool manager (we were already friends before either of us were hired).  Made it a lot more bearable, plus the crazy pizzas we made tasted way better.  Only downside is that polishing off a bottle of vodka during the morning for anything other than paking or FPD makes you really feel like a dirtball alcoholic.
