Given that pizza in Greece doesn't deserve to even be called pizza.

Interestingly, a recent trip to Italy revealed that the pizza there isn't good either.

Whatever. In Canada if you want the best pizza go to a restaurant owned by Greek immigrants.

Quote from: wizer on Today at 05:38:51 AMAmerican pizza is nothing like in Italy (I was surprised too). Pizza in Italy is generally thin, floppy slices, although I was able to find one pizza place where it was close to what I'm used to in the US. That particular place was in a really old picturesque town called Orvieto which has underground caverns, a castle and lots of ruins to check out. It was one of the trip highlights, but I digress. It was a constant chain of people were walking in and out carrying boxes of pizza almost nonstop.

wow.. I'm just stunned. The originators are behind the pack.

Quote from: Reggie Essent on December 11, 2025, 05:08:52 PMThe very best pizza in the entire world is right here in Chicagoland at a place called Aurelios.  Just ask the fucken Pope!  Aurelios is his favorite pizza and mine too.

I generally don't like Chicago style deep dish pizza. But, I like it on Chicago.

Quote from: wizer on December 11, 2025, 11:10:34 AMUgh. The pizza is terrible. It's like soggy bread soaked in tomato sauce.

One thing I really miss about the US.

Fuk! Can Greeks even afford pizza?

Chicago style deep dish is the greatest.

There is a pizza chain in Ontario called Pizza Pizza. At first glance I thought this was about them expanding into the US market.
