My pizza... is not made in Chicago.

My dream pizza: thinnest of crusts with the bare-minimum of cheese on top of a smattering of sauce.

Tonights pizza is spinach w olive oil and garlic, a sprinkle of shredded jack cheese and thin sliced onions on top. M Mm Mmm. Delicious and low sodium, healthy fats, low cholesterol. Yeah baby! :flowerforyou:

I think my a** just gained 20 lbs by reading about all this d*mn pizza. Seriously, I looked down, and its gotten wider.

The best pizza is back in Chicagoland - Chicago area has AWESOME pizza! Pepperoni & Black Olives. Giordano's is very good. I LOVE Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder - lots of history and a Pizza Pot Pie with a salad with sweet and sour poppyseed dressing and an Mediterranean Bread for Appitizer...THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Been in Jersey for 1.5 year and only found two decent places for pizza - Black River Barn has awesome BBQ Chicken Pizza and up in Connecticut there was a place that makes a Charcoal oven pizza - That was incredible!

I did my own pizza for dinner. Started with a pre-made 7" store bought crust. Added sauce (no salt added tomato with my own spice blend), browned hamburger (drained well), fresh spinach, mushrooms, onion, diced fresh jalapeno, and two servings worth of cheese.

Topped out at 788 calories, and I'm still under my calorie goal for the day. I wouldn't want to think about having chain pizza. I doubt that I could eat two slices and get by as good. I was kinda bummed when I read this thread this morning. But doing the make it yourself version I did okay. I think we can keep this in the rotation, but not too frequently. A good treat.

I make my own.. well used to, this will probably be my cheat meal every so often.

where you get the crust recipe?

I hate fast food joints and chain restaurants usually but recently ate in Uno Chicago grill where I was served a Harvest pizza, with garlic roasted cherry tomatoes, caramelised onions, spinach, broccoli and cheddar and mozzarella on a thin base....it was the finest thing I have tasted in a long time and "I'm only going to have half" ended up as "oh dear, I shouldn't be licking the plate should I?". I'm now craving it again...big time...but at 1000 cals almost, I'd have to do one hell of a workout to justify it.

At home I make a pizza with my own homemade sauce, a tortilla instead of bread base and lots of veggies....it's very yummy...but not quite enough to get over my Uno craving!!! :laugh:

I agree I had a delicious pizza from them

Hey, if you make your own crust and don't mind sharing it here please do so!!
My bread machine takes 2 hours to make the crust. I would like to find a faster one, or faster homemade crust. I have try different store ones but don't really like any on them. The bread machine is the best but not short on time. Any suggestions. Thank you in advance.

I have had pizza today... and OMG I just realised how much I was kidding myself about portion size. So I went and instead of medium got a small pizza today... which wasn;t that small.. I was stuffed after and I wonder how I made myself eat the medium sized one o.0

Anyway... pizza was very very yummy ^^

When I was making pizzas, the dough would take anywhere from 24 hrs to 3 days, slow rise in the fridge. Slow rise = flavor. Fast rise = just air. It's a labor of love.
