    But beyond that, I contend that Blaze is the best chain pizza.

    I've never seen a Blaze. Where are they?

    They’re kind of everywhere. One of those fast casual build your own pizza places whose #1 claim to fame is they’re partially owned by Lebron James.

    so kind of like a better version of papa murphy?

    No they bake em for you. More like MOD or Pie Five.

    Hmm. Well I'm not retching imagining it, hard to imagine what it would taste like or the texture though.

    I've made sausage stuffed cornbread containing many of those ingredients and it's amazing .... the amount of sugar gives me serious pause though

    Yeah, more than anything the amount of sugar turned me off the recipe. I think if you cut out the white sugar and reduced the brown sugar you could have an interesting cake.

    But which sausage to use? Breakfast sausage seems like the most likely candidate?

    I just picked up 5lbs of pork butt today

    I was already going to make 2.5lbs of breakfast sausage

    I may just make the other 2.5lbs with a bit of brown sugar, cloves, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and a couple table spoons of coffee to mix it.

    worst comes to worst I'm out $4 worth of pork butt

    I'm mad jelly. The local pizza joint makes pizzas that are clearly outshone by Dominos in every way, and costs twice as much.

    It's very disappointing all around.

    how is that even possible

    pizza isn't that hard to make!

    Come to Cincinnati, where the pizza is an amalgamation of all the worst aspects of the surrounding local styles. There are like 3 good pizza places in town that I've found and none are any less than a 20 minute drive away. Which is why I usually make my own pizza at home.

    Detroit style pizza (this is the recipe I used) is pretty good, too; it's a thicker base, cooked in an well-oiled metal pan, you use monterey jack as the cheese and put stripes of sauce on top of the cheese instead of under it:

    What are the rules for what constitutes a chain because Crush pizza is authentically rad but there are like 3 of them and they're all in or around Boston.

    For bad pizza, there's always school cafeterias.

    If memory serves, I actually liked the stuff my high school served... but that may be equal parts nostalgia and Stockholm syndrome talking. It was more cheesy bread than "pizza", anyway.

    I had digiornos once. I'm not counting it as bad pizza because I'm not sure it was pizza, more like shitty sauce covering some sweet styrofoam.

    my high school had two kinds of pizza, a regular triangular sliced pepperoni with stuffed crust that was kind of terrible, and a rectangular sliced sausage pizza that was surprisingly tasty

    Yeah, that rectangular pizza was pretty good. Of course, at the time I'd eat nearly anything that wasn't moving under it's own power and look for seconds, so it may just be nostalgia speaking.

    I haven't eaten an Ellio's pizza in 20 years, but if I found one in the freezer section out here I'd buy it in a heartbeat, and then probably be severely disappointed in teenage me's taste buds.

    The only digiornos I've actually found edible was the garlic pepperoni one

    it is so unlike their other pizzas I'm pretty certain it's made by a third party and they just buy it and put their box around it

    it could also just be the garlic making it taste halfway edible too, I can't rule that out

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    I got a rising crust Digiornos once and it was pretty good. Probably the best of the full-sized frozen pizzas I've tried (though I haven't had Tombstone or a non-personal Red Baron yet).

    The best places around here (here being Drogheda in Ireland) would be Apache pizza and Four Star Pizza. There's a Domino's but it's really greasy and crap. Four Star is kinda meh, never enough toppings and no double pepperoni, but free delivery. Apache is the better one in town, love me some double pepperoni.

    I have real fond memories of rectangular pizza with square pepperoni and I recently discovered I can just buy that now from a place like Gordon Food so we'll see what happens.

    Theres a local pizza joint around here called Wheel Apizza Parlor. They make a damn good basic pizza. Like a 16" pepperoni with the little pepperoni that form cups when they cook? The sauce is exactly the right amount and the crust has a good texture. It's just a pleasure to eat. They also do their own homemade Sodas.

    I am here for the Impossible burger/beyond burger revolution. If they sold them in the shops, I would switch that for at home burgs and quick McDonalds grab and go style burgers. Keep the real meat for high end occasional burgers.

    When I worked in a pub we once had a guy arrive on his horse which he then hitched to a 12-person wooden picnic table while he came inside. Then the horse got spooked by something and legged it, dragging the table along the road until it had smashed into splinters.

    Every now and then I remember that and it makes me smile.

    I was going to make loose sausage and from there make sausage gravy.

    Maybe I'll skip it lol

    edit: you know what?! NO!

    You only live once and any opportunity to try making red eye gravy cake sausage is an opportunity worth trying!

    We recently got a mod pizza and I hate them so much on principle alone. Free standing building in a new strip mall/shopping complex kinda joint, and they painted the side with a huge thing that just says "Keep Decatur Mod" which first of all, you ain't got a scooter with a million mirrors on it, you ain't mod. and second, you JUST GOT HERE AND ARE A CHAIN. You ain't keeping Decatur anything!
