It makes me mad.

>>5597837
Too greasy, burnt in a few places, sauce closer to the edge then cheese, and pepperoni is the worst topping.

>>5597837
It looks p good OP. I'd eat it/10

>>5597842
>too greasy
>complaining about grease on a pepperoni pizza when the toppings such as cheese and pepperoni produce loads of grease

>>5597837
I find it sexually frustrating.

I would eat it happily.

I wish I had some pizza right now, but I have no money. I even tried to see if I could get free pizza online but it was a no-go.

My cat is humping my butt right now on top of it all. Sigh..... I'm too sad to move or care.

>>5597837
your pizza is millennium falcon shaped.

(more apparent in the image preview than when you click on it and see it full size)

>>5597837
It's shaped like a big pear

>>5597837
Scrubs judging food by its appearance. If you've ever said "ew that looks gross" to any food item then uninstall.

>>5598213
truth. I would try a piece OP. pepperoni not my favorite though

This is my first home made pie, used jiffy pizza crust and sauce from a can.

Didn't taste awful. Needs improvement.

Suggestions?

>>5597837
it's ugly and burnt , but i'd eat it .

>>5598249
>Crust from a box
>Sauce from a can

So you've still never made a home made pie. Suggestions? Make some shit from scratch.

The only problem is since that pizza is from Sally's, that means I'd have to show up an hour before they open, stand outside while they invite all their friends in before me, and then take 15 minutes to take me order even after I'm seated. Not worth the trouble when Modern's a 15-minute wait most nights.

>>5598264
>So you've still never made a home made pie.

Thats a slippery slope.

>What do you mean you didn't grow your own tomatoes and didn't mill your own flour?

Why do people think it's so fucking difficult?

>>5598320
They are lazy fucks.

>>5597851
funniest thing I've read on this board in a long time

you did good OP

>>5598320
lol at them tiny pepperonis
pathetic

>>5597837
>>5598249
both look like shit

>>5598375
OP's doesn't even look that bad. Probably only to people who never made any pizza and only eat chain pizza. That second pizza is going to look crappy because its jiffy pizza.

>>5598279
The fuck are you talking about? If your crust is pre-mixed and your sauce is pre-made you have not made a homemade pizza.

>>5598384

post pics of cat

that shit looks fuckin tasty

>>5597837
Hello, OP.
I've never replied to a "rate my pizza" post, but fuck me running if that isn't the best I've ever seen. 10/10
Wouldn't change a thing.

>>5598606
>shameless

>>5598558
He doesn't even have any balls...

>>5598638
It looks tormented

>>5598642
He can hump all day long but he can never cum again, wouldn't you be in torment?

Im just sick of pizza threads.

Please just go away.

Believe it or not there was no line. Frank Pepe down the street had a line of 15-20 people.

>>5598164

that's exactly what i came in here to post

OP here. It was incredible pizza. Their reputation is, as far as I can tell, entirely justified. The sausage was of exceptional quality - better than the Frank Pepe in Manchester (but not necessarily the one in New Haven, which I haven't had yet), the cheese melded with the tangy sauce to create a unified layer of heaven, and the crust... well, as I've said before in other threads, I didn't know the glory of charred crust before coming here, and now I know differently. It has to be tasted to be believed.

My companions also had eggplant and bacon-and-onion pizzas which I didn't get around to sampling, but this is surely only my first of many, many, many visits.

>>5597837

>>5597837
fellow CTfag here and sally's is A-number-one. Modern and Frank Pepe's too, but Sally's is best. Anyone in this thread that's lobbed insults.. come here and try the pizza, bitches

>>5598987
sometimes less is more bruh

this is my 5th attempt at pizza
fucked up on my 4th and I had left over dough reason why it's small as fuck

rate please

>>5599006

>>5597846
the only person in this thread that isn't a faggot

So I've worked in a pizza/Italian restaurant for the past two years and have only now started making pizzas because it's filthy work.

You can argue weather or not this is 'home made', but I'm there to help mix and roll the dough, letting it rise, mixing together our 'secret' tomato sauce recipe, shredding cheese en masse, then opening, stretching, saucing and topping a pie.

Really isn't too difficult once you get the process down.

Anyway, took a large dough and stretched it to about a 17" diameter (our large dough is meant to be 16").

Not what most people would call thin crust, but I like it.

As for the rest:

>olive oil instead of red/white sauce
>sprinkled crushed red pepper and fresh oregano on the oil before putting cheese down
>meatballs and Italian sausage that we cook in-store
>freshly minced garlic
>cooked to what we in the store consider well done - dat crunch, yo
>square cut because I was still working and just grabbing a bit here and there
>dipped it in some marinara too

>>5597837
would devour/10

I really like pizza like that, OP. I'd take it home and eat 1-2 slices per meal until it was gone a day or so later. I do that with my toaster oven to reheat for each meal. It really helps me savoir a really good pizza longer.

>>5599006
As >>5599022 said, it's undercooked. Maybe use a little less cheese next time, looks like it's drowning.

>>5597859
post pics of butt

anyone who wouldn't eat OPs pizza is a prissy faggot.

>>5599006
cheese is barely melted, you should leave it in the oven until some of the cheese s tarts to brown

>>5598964
those are some truly awful topping choices, but the dough looks tasty and they are well cooked

>>5597842
>sauce closer to the edge then cheese
this, it's like when you cut your nails too much and the nub of your of fingers sticks out from under your nails

>>5598384
He made the pizza in his home, hence homemade, retard. His slippery slope 100% applies here, if you bought anything from the store to make it, then by logically extending your definition it would not be homemade.

>>5598320
Looks bland, no character to it, unlike OP's dish, and doesn't look novel/funny like that other guy's jiffy pizza. The arrangement of your pepperoni makes it seem like you have some sort of psychological issue, such as OCD, or perhaps even autism.

What do you think of this pizza, /ck/?

What do you think of this pizza, cee-kay?

>>5599973
Apart from the lame toppings, the crust is barely 'done' and the cheese looks like it's well past well done.

>>5599971
Looks like two halves of french bread pizza with cheese and toppings overflowing on it. Also appears that you left it in the oven too long.

>>5599971
looks a bit small and bread heavy, but i'd eat it
>>5599973
seems a bit greasy, and like the other guy said crust needs more time but the cheese looks like it had too much time in the oven. and the lighting makes it looks pale and sickly. i'd still eat it though

>>5599978
>done crust
Do you even make pizza?

>>5598249
get off /ck/

>>5598264
Dude no one uses fresh tomaters in a pizza sauce...ever. Canned real San Marzanos.

>>5599722
This is the second time this weekend i have seen someone call bread "dough". It's not dough anymore. It's fucking baked and now it's BREAD.

>>5600588
Yes, professionally, I'm this guy: >>5599468

>>5597842
that's italian sausage not pepporoni

>>5597837
I would eat it

>>5598320
Let's get something straight: Making a pizza that looks nice in a bird's eye view photo is easy as FUCK. It's literally just a case of making sure it's a circle and the cheese doesn't burn. However, making a good pizza crust in a 240c oven is virtually impossible.

I've been saying for ages that people need to start posting cross-section photos of the crust after they've cut a slice. I'm certain that all of the pizzas you niggers post are either crunchy like biscuit, fluffy like bread or just uncooked and doughy.

>>5599973
This is the best in the thread imo, despite being covered in hideous olives. Looks a bit too thick but other than that it's great.

I never encountered any of that lel. Is that how your crust always is?

hey i had potato pizza earlier

>>5597849
Cheap ass cheese produces grease. I have eaten a lot of non greasy pepperoni pizzas.

>>5598320

I call bs on that one. Looks like fuckin digiorno to me.

>>5602451

but greasy pizza is the best.

>>5602476
but who would cook digiorno in a pan?

>>5602767
Someone on /ck/ trying to troll /ck/.

>>5602451
>Cheap ass cheese produces grease
Wrong. Whole milk full fat cheeses produce grease. Another factor in how much grease comes out is the cooking time. The reason why you don't see alot of grease on high end pizzas with fresh mozzarella is because they have really hot ovens that cook pizzas in under 8 minutes.

>>5602824
Our ovens normally run at 550 degrees, and it takes about 8 minutes to cook a pizza if you only move it twice before pulling it out.

On busy nights, we ramp them up to 600 or even 650. Combined with moving pizzas into the back corners, we can get them out in less than 7 minutes. This includes our biggest (18") pies.

Grease is always present - be it on a plain cheese pizza or on a pizza with extra pepperoni.

Meats contribute more grease. It's been my experience that most vegetables soak up some grease to a degree.

If I have two pies, same size, same amount of cheese, but one is topped with pepperoni and the other is topped with our Italian sausage, the results are glaringly different.

There are huge, standing pools of grease on the pepperoni one. If you cut it really quickly/forcefully, the cutter will actually kick up hot grease onto your hand.

The Italian sausage is cooked in our ovens a few times a week, we let it dry out and cool down a bit, then refrigerate it for a day before we put it through a slicer. The result is that the sausage is fairly dry when it goes on the pie, and most of its grease has already dripped away. There'll be almost no grease on it when it comes out of the oven.

That being said, I take grease as a sign of quality (excepting the presence of pepperoni, of course) and being cooked fully. If it bothers you, let it drain a bit off your slice or don't get pepperoni.

looks good

>hop on /ck/ after work
>pizza thread
>actually making pizza, just letting the dough rest a bit

s-should I post my pizza anonkun?

Seriously: which kind of cheese do the American use?

We use mozzarella di bufala when it is asked; otherwise a kind of cheese very similar to it(it's called "pizza-intended mozzarella)

>>5602897
>otherwise a kind of cheese very similar to it(it's called "pizza-intended mozzarella)
This.

It's actually the most produced and ingested cheese in America.

>>5602897
Some restaurants use weird blends like "provel" but most use brick whole fat mozzarella. Neapolitan style will most likely use mozzarella di bufala.

>>5602914
I forgot its called low moisture mozzarella brick. It is real mozzarella just with lower moisture than fresh mozzarella and shaped into brick shape.

>>5598606
Hello,OP. I've never replied to a samefag, but fuck me running if this isn't the most obvious case I've ever seen. 10/10
wouldn't make this a thing.

I made a pizza for you /ck/, do you like it?

>>5602966
What is that? That looks like pesto yuck.

>>5602966
Did you make the dough out of cornmeal?

>>5602966
Is that a school lunch from Nuke 'Em High?

>>5597837
Misshapen but would eat/10

>>5599973
Not a fan of olives but would devour anyway.

>>5602966
Is that that hideous cauliflower dough?

>>5603040

i tried cauliflower dough at a pizza party a week or so ago cause one of my guests was gluten free. it was really tasty and in its uncooked form looked incredibly dough-like.

The shape pisses me off.

>>5602897
I use 3 parts Mozzarella 1 part parmesan.

>>5603060
I wish it wasnt such a pain.. Getting all the liquid out of the cauliflower is such a gigantic pia.

>>5602399
its very underated hey, nice as a starter

what do you think /ck/?

god you all suck at pizza.

>>5604224
I'm sorry, but the picture quality is so bad it makes that guacamole look like shit.
