How are you gonna come off saying people have shit for taste? Taste is like THE most subjective thing in the world. Also, I don't know where you get your pizzas, but they don't sound like the ones I'm eating. I just like alot of different meats on mine (and preferably garlic as well). | ||

Most of the pizzas here are really shitty. The quality of the ingredients are so bad that if you would never use them yourself in any kind of dish. There are some Pizzerias though that are pretty good and not just the usual crap but it's rare to find. And it's disgusting seeing how the majority of people gobble up these crappy pizzas like there isn't anything better out there | ||

Here in New Jersey it's actually quite common to find pizza (no surprise there), but 95% of all the pizzerias you go to will serve you the same crappy cardboard-tasting crust with a sugary pasta sauce and greasy cheese on top. Honestly, I prefer Dominos pizza to the generic pizzeria, because at least what I'm getting is consistent and not as greasy. So growing up, I was never really a big fan of pizza. When I went to Italy a few years ago I had some pretty good pizza, though technically it's more of a "tomato pie" rather than the American style pizza. Basically it's a crispy thin-crust pie with fresh tomato, spices (basil, oregano, pepper) and just a modest amount of cheese, and not greasy at all. For a while, I assumed this pizza was only available in Europe, until I started looking around NJ/NY for some more authentic options. So far, I've only found one or two pizzerias nearby that make "tomato pies", and they are SO GOOD, perhaps even better than what I had in Italy. I suppose a lot of it comes down to the fact that the Italian family that owns the place has some very old brick ovens, and they actually know how to make a delicious sauce. I'm not sure what sort of options you have in Slovenia but here is the website of my favorite pizzeria so you can get a better idea of what I'm talking about. I feel like this style of pizza is also much healthier since it has less cheese and grease so you should really look around for something like it. I've got some bad news for you. There was a big blind pizza taste test that happened and Dominos lost. Dead last out of many competitors. The result? They changed their recipe - and the new recipe has to be as unhealthy as the rest because it tastes just so damn good. | ||

Well as I used to say before they changed the recipe, "If you don't give a shit about what kind of pizza you eat.." It was really bad. In any case, I agree with you, I was not arguing for the health benefits of Dominos but instead trashing all the other independent local pizzerias since they are inconsistent and usually disgusting. Fortunately, there is a delicious restaurant for "tomato pies" not far from where I live, I'm willing to bet it's much healthier than Dominos  | ||

It doesn't just decide "oh well you ate an extra 1000 calories today I guess I'm going to gain weight." It's a long term process. Fix your daily diet before you worry about pizza once a month. Ah, the biggest problem with dieters. You will gain weight *the next day* but your body actually keeps the food, and doesn't turn it immediately into storage fat. This obsession for people to weigh themselves everyday when their diet isn't 100% consistant is pretty stupid. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.nycgo.com/images/uploadedimages/devnycvisitcom/venue/lombardis_v2_460x285.jpg) I like this pizza due to the thin crust, somewhat sweeter sauce (if Roma tomatoes are used), and the additional touch of basil. However, the crust is flimsier and so it's hard to eat with your hands. You need to use a fork and knife. Being from New York, I prefer the New York style pizza. ![[image loading]](https://www.nyflyingpizza.com/store/secure/images/categories/category_3.jpg) It's a much thicker crust, so that we eat it folded in two. The cheese is not fresh, but it has a much more elastic property that makes eating pizza so much more satisfying. I prefer to have it well done, so everytime I take a bite, there's a satisfying crunch to it. This is the pizza I grew up with, and it simply hits the spot everytime I crave for it. | ||

I'd be a lot more prone to expect sugar in the dough in northern European pizza than anywhere in the U.S. For reference, Pizza Hut, the largest American pizza chain, does include trace amounts of sugar (less than 2% by weight) in a few of their types of dough, but not the most common types. Most pizza places use flour, leavening, salt, and water in their dough, and that's about it. Edit: The big dietary issue with pizza here is that the dairy industry has been pressuring the big chains to increase their cheese portions. The best pizza places use a lot less cheese, except in Chicago, where they make a different style that tends to go very heavy on it. Edit 2: Authentic tomato sauce does have a sweet flavor because fresh tomatoes have sugar in them. However, such sauce is not normally artificially sweetened. | ||

Being part Italian, I've never had the chance to get to Italy, but I yearn for their sweet pasta delicacies like no tomorrow. | ||
