How does everyone like their pizza?

[LDSGator]

My favorite is New York style loaded with mushrooms.

I can eat almost any pizza that does not have peperoni or anchovies.   The best pizza I have ever encountered is made by North Lake Tavern in Seattle.

That’s awesome! Is Seattle known for pizza?

I am a veggie pizza fan, leaning toward thinner crusts.

Great choice! 
 

Does SLC have it’s own style of pizza?

Both sound semi-gross if not gross... but both have become favorites. I selected these since there might be a chance of others trying them via the national chain. We have a hole in the wall pizza place that kills them all though. Old school 70-80s pizza joint.

1. Papa Murphy's Cheeseburger Pizza: Turns out pickles on pizza is not bad after all

2. Godfather's Taco Pizza: I know, sounds gross.

Actually, both pizzas sound fine my friend. And @mirkwood and I were talking Papa Murphy’s yesterday. Is that the place where you have to bake it yourself?

Not really but the North Lake Tavern pizza is about 3 inches thick and one slice is enough for anybody.

I think the closets style of pizza is LDS family style:   is to buy a bag of frozen Rhodes rolls, a bunch of different toppings and some pizza sauce.  Give everyone in the family a uncooked Rhodes roll (no longer frozen) - let them flatten it out and add the sauce and toppings to their liking - bake in the oven at 400 degrees and everybody gets exactly what they wanted on their pizza.

Yeah, I don’t know why it sounds gross to people? It actually sounds quite good!

I had one of those once.  One of the nastiest things I ever ate.

When I was a kid in the 1980s (around the same time as you, I believe), the Church hadn’t yet centralized ward budgets through Salt Lake and ward Scout troops had to do their own fundraising.  My older brother’s troop made and sold bake-at-home pizzas for a couple of years. It seemed like a good activity all around.

Papa Murphy’s has a five-meat stuffed pizza that’s quite good.  Too bad I’m counting calories these days . . .

I have fond memories of our scouting pizza drives.

Uh, yeah about that. 
 

You know old friend, maybe we should consider teaming up and making fun of @mirkwood and @NeuroTypical. Who are older than both of us. 

[LDSGator]

And yeah, that bake your own pizza at home thing DOES sound really cool!

What...can't count that high?

[beefche]

Are there still Godfather's around? That was our high school hangout after football/basketball games. LOVE their taco pizza!

Dravin and I love pizzas that have something vinegary on it--pickles, banana peppers, etc. Helps to cut through the fat of the cheese/meat.

I really enjoy Hawaiian pizza (or whatever it is called with ham and pineapple).

I think the most unhealthy that I may enjoy more is a pizza but with fruit and other things like that on it.  I think it is called a dessert pizza.  My wife knows what it is called better than I, but it is terrific when made for family home evening dessert.
