    Some place in Rone when I was about 10 on a trip with my parents. Cut out of a massive rectangle, ate in the street, it was memorable.

    There’s a place just a 5 minute walk from me that does $10 any size up to 5 toppings every Monday… So my weekly extra large 5 topping pizza is the only pizza I eat now. I have no memory of other pizzas. (It is actually pretty good though!)

    When we were on holiday in Malaysia as kids, we ordered room service one evening. My brother was a picky eater so we asked for a plain cheese pizza, expecting like a margherita style.

    Instead it was pizza base with just some sad grated cheese melted on top. Didn’t taste great but just thinking about it makes me laugh. We waited about 40 minutes for that disappointment.

    Imo’s in St. Louis is my favorite overall. Thin, crispy crust, square cut, Provel as the base cheese. It scratches an itch that all other pizzas don’t. I’d eat it 7 days a week if I could, hot or cold.

    I’ve had pizzas with superior ingredients, made in fancy ovens, served with wine instead of cold beer, but if I could get any pizza right now, it’d be Imo’s black olive or veggie pizza.

    The first time I had Papa John’s with the garlic sauce. I guess I just like garlic.

    Burt’s in Morton Grove Il is still my favorite.

    Burt passed a few years ago, but some locals bought it and reopened. It’s as good as ever.

    The best single pizza was a pepperoni pizza from a street vendor in Hawaii many years ago, with hot sauce I still special order from the islands.

    However… if we’re just talling toppings a pineapple, peppercini pizza is my dark horse favorite pizzas. I first tried essentially on a bet. Never would’ve expected it to be so good, and have since determined it’s best (optionally) with chicken, feta, and/or roasted garlic.

    The best pizza I’ve ever had is probably the Little Caesars by my old apartment. Money can’t buy the experience of getting a couple cheap zas on your way home from work, sitting down in your living room with your brother, and playing Overwatch “split screen” (two TVs next to each other) until 4 o’clock on Friday (as in 4:00 AM on Saturday)

    Okay this is totally not what you’re asking but I have to share a funny story. (To answer your actual question, can’t think of anything but I don’t live in NY or Chicago so…)

    My family visited Scotland when my daughter was about 6, and there was one night we got to a hotel and just needed some food, and not a lot of places near us were open. But there was a pizza place, which would satisfy the kids. My daughter chose the “American” pizza, which had chicken, barbecue sauce, and yellow corn on it. (Yes, I’m serious.) She has been asking for that pizza for years since then. WTF?

        I mean, you do you! My daughter agrees with you in matters of taste. I did think it was awfully funny what the Scots thought of as “American.”

          they dont really think of it as american, they just dont really care. like american pizza in ireland is almost always “hot” pepperoni and jalepenos, mixed peppers and like a shake of some kind of pepper flakes.

          also in ireland they have “american wine gums” which as you know isnt a thing, theyre these really chewey gummy things live ive never seen
