![]() I really like these pizza for doctoring up at home. I am not a pizza aficionado but I do draw the line at a lot of them. I always buy the pepperoni pizza. It is absolutely covered with rounds of pepperoni and then on top of that is an enormous amount of pepperoni sticks. These are rising-crust pizza but do not rise so much that you feel you are eating a loaf of bread. The pizza is saucy with plenty of cheese for me. I then add onions, peppers, mushrooms black olives and fresh tomatoes. They come 4 to a box and go on sale frequently so that you can pick them up for $3+ a pizza. These are a go to, I'm too tired to plan a meal, food. There is also an all cheese pizza. Janet US |

You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the total blue. After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3 years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY MOVING IN WITH YOU? That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2 years. Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away. There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo. And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're manic depressive mixed with habitual liar. Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles. -sw |

Even plain frozen pizza is salty, the tiny bit of paper thin pepperoni adds very little more salt, mostly adds fat. I like good pepperoni, I'll buy a stick and eat it all in one fell swoop... only my mouth is salty. hehe |

I just took out a RB thin crust supreme, which will be cooled off by the time their pizza is ready. I was the nice dad today, who took Johnny and his best friend to a skatepark almost 30 miles away, and I skated too, so I'm pretty beat. I just wanted to have a super-easy dinner, have a few beers and go to sleep.

I imagine "Greek pizza" being a pita, with stuff like feta, olives (ripe ones), possibly gyros sausage or thinly sliced seasoned lamb, chopped onion and tomato, with warm tzaziki squirted on in a spiral immediately after removing from a top broiler. If I ordered such a thing, I'd specify no tzaziki sauce, because I detest raw cucumber. Gouda is spectacular, but doesn't even belong in this conversation. --Bryan |

A salad and a pizza taste nothing alike. Many people like just cheese pizza. And pizza with onions or basil on it is anything but bland. |

Try a broccoli white pizza > sometime - broccoli, garlic, bit of onion, mozz cheese. It's sure > better than a salad. Only once did I get broccoli on a pizza. I didn't even know it was a pizza topping! This was on Cape Cod. I ordered a vegetarian. Here, those usually have mushrooms, onions, black olives, peppers, tomatoes and once in a while, pineapple. So I wasn't expecting the broccoli at all. And what I got was a soggy mess! I think they must have used frozen or steamed broccoli on it or something. The broccoli had to be the culprit because it was just pure mush. Gave off so much liquid that it seeped through into the crust, preventing it from browning. The whole thing was so soggy, I don't even know how they managed to get it into the box. And you couldn't really even pick up a slice. It all just sort of fell apart. I did call and complain and they mailed me a $25 gift certificate but I never used it. I was afraid of what I might get. As for the salads, when we did used to go to pizza places, I often got the salad and nothing else. If there was soup, I might have gotten that. I don't really care for most pizza but I do love salad. Of course if I eat pizza now, I have to make my own with the Daiya cheese or buy the one frozen kind that has it. I will be making one soon as husband has been hankering for pizza but I am not sure how well the par baked crusts I bought will go over. They're square and very thin. I got them for cheap at Target. |

I used to love that! Either that or plain cheese, perhaps with pinenut. I always thought I would like the vegetarian because I like all of the toppings except for the mushrooms. I don't really dislike them, but I don't think they add anything. But I always found that I preferred it more plain. |

I put frozen broccoli flowerettes on pizza all the time, no liquid exudes, none whatsoever... and I cover the entire pie until there's no bare place to put more.... and I put them on frozen, not cooked, not thawed... only thing I do while the oven is heating is slice the frozen flowerettes into smaller flowerettes, so I can fit more. |

I top pizza with all kinds of raw veggies, same as any pizzaria, and have never had a moisture problem... I top with onions, peppers, eggplant, mushrooms, even zukes, and I'm generous. Maybe your oven is not hot enough so the veggies are stewing... I can see that happening when using a pizza stone... because once the cold raw pie is set on the hot stone water vapor is created underneath the pie, permeates the stone and the temperature of the stone drops drastically and never recovers past the point water boils... pizza stones produce stewed pizza. Get rid of that fercocktah stone and use a perforated pan. Pizza stones are pandered to those who didn't do well with high school science. |

I also bought a Red Baron thin crispy crust pizza just to have something for mom and me this week if we feel like pizza in a hurry. I've been doing a little cooking today just to have ready made meals when I feel like eating. I remember after the last surgery I didn't eat much for a couple of weeks. I have easy stuff and a bunch of produce. I meant to get Metamucil (pain killers, dontchaknow) but forgot. -- ღ.¸¸.œ«*¨`*œ¶ Cheryl |

Do you cook with them? Apparently they melt and become the special something that makes Nona's version of whatever it is stand out. -- Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them. |

I had some stuffed peppers and I wouldn't have known they were in there if I hadn't been told. But I also didn't like them. They were small, sweet peppers, baked with some kind of sickly rich, garlicky,walnut filling. Apparently an old family recipe. Guys seem to like them. Women do not. |

Walnut in the filling? That's odd. -- Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them. |
