Pizza Time!

Just got back from a 3 hour ride, really fancied a cheesy pizza. Now I'm pretty good at making pizzas myself from scratch (if I do say so myself, which I do) but I was feeling lazy and nipped to Asda. Saw a San Marco cheese pizza on offer for a quid, got it home and read the box. And I quote:
"Pizza base topped with tomato sauce, analogue cheese flavour and mozzerella cheese"
What on earth is analogue cheese flavour, and what is it doing on my tea?

That's a pizza base, no toppings.
What are you, man or mouse? needs meat!0 -
I'm not sure soy based cheese products are my thing, luckily I manned it up a bit with some mature cheddar.
Yeah yeah I know it needed meat but I just had a craving for cheese, maybe I'm pregnant or something. And for lunch I couldn't decide between chicken or steak so I had both

I don't get it in the first place . why shove a vegan health product type thing on a pizza then mix it with mozzarella, either have one or the other. it's just rubbish thinkin' :?0

when i was in kenya i went to an amazing restaurant which served a beef steak wrapped in beef, it was better than my wedding day!!0

It's definitely not a vegan health thing.blister pus wrote:I don't get it in the first place . why shove a vegan health product type thing on a pizza then mix it with mozzarella, either have one or the other. it's just rubbish thinkin' :?
They use it to bulk up the cheese, so it looks really cheesy, but isn't.
It's cheaper than cheese, see.0 -
i'm just going off that wiki entry. but who the hell knows what they shove in stuff like that. Frankenstein cheese, mwahaha0
-
It really is to bulk things up and look like there's more cheese than there actually is. I'm not lying to you!0
-
San Marco make the worst pizzas of all - bland tomato sauce, no herbs, crap base.0
-
Yeah i agree with ss
IMO it has to be goodfello's pepperoni pizza with peppers and a cold beer :twisted:0 -
Gotta say as soon as I heard it was San Marco and only cost you a quid my suspicions were raised. That analogue cheese is well what can one say, enlightening?0

oh if it's cheaper than the real stuff, I well believe you. Next time I go to a supermarket I'm going to look at those veggy pizzas and see if they have the balls to charge a premium price for the same product.0 -
mmmm pizza0

I love pizza, but to be honest my favourite is waitrose own-brand Italian meats stone baked!!!
Top drawer, but my fav of all time is the sloppy guiseppe from Pizza Express 8)0 -
Best pizzas are the ones you get in Kebab shops. They're almost but not quite entirely unlike an italian pizza, but man they taste good!0
-
i strongly believe that kebab shop pizzas are better than those things from pizza hut which seem to have been threatened with toppings as opposed to having been covered in them.0

When I was at uni there was a place called Mama Janes run by a guy called Mohammad and they did a 7" pizza with any 2 toppings, chips and a can for £2.49. Best pizzas ever."The problem was, I was still using my eyes even though I had them shut"

^^Damn ed right.
They're also much cheaper. You can get a 12" or 14" kebab shop pizza round here for about a fiver or so.
In Pizza hut, you have to sign a mortgage agreement before taking a bite.0 -
i also find dominos pizza to be very dissapointing, even with 50% army discount in the local one.
the best pizza shop i have ever used whcih wasnt a kebaberie is papa johns, they are truly amazing. on their website you can create your own pizza and save it with a name for easy ordering in the future.
i "invented" a pizza with chicken ham chillies onions and extra cheese and called it the sweat stain.0 -
Asda pizzas FTW!
The ones they make up for you in store, are quite good....IF you get the right ones
ALWAYS go for the stonebake base...the others aren't fabulous
Other than that no complaints
I particularly like their pizzas made with BBQ sauce yummy, can't beat a BBQ chicken or BBQ Hickory Steak pizza Much cheaper than a dominos too...and less greasy
nom nom.....I'm hungryRide it like you stole it!0 -
Tastiest pizza I ever had was a proper handmade italian one with the crazy bubbly bread, with plum sauce instead of tomato sauce, and duck!
Tastiest thing ever!0 -

Good call, I always go for ASDA pizza. Get a 12inch stonebake and the following toppings:
Cajun Chicken
Chorizo
Peppers
Mushrooms
Chilli oil
Get home and add a bit of onion and black olive....yum yum and only about 3quid! Bargain0 -
i had forgotten about the asds ones, they are indeed superb. they do a steak and chese one which is amazing with loads of tabasco on it.0

I have just popped in a Goodfellas La Bottega stonebaked pizza, with Pesto Oil, Spicy pepperoni and extra Jalepeno chillis....
