…and how much did it cost?
Dao has just gone off to college, so she’s getting her fill of bad pizza. I ate one the other night that tasted like burnt cheese on a paper plate. Blecch. At least I got that one through the school cafeteria and didn’t (directly) hand over money for it.
How about everyone else?
Fronen mini pizza. $1.00.
Frozenmini pizza, Arg.
my family and I got stuck in a small mountain town in Australia called Bombala. It was a sweet cute town and EVERYONE we met there, and everywhere else in Aussieland, was incredibly nice.
But, oh my sweetlord, the pizza we got there was creepy in ways I can’t even explain
We had our cousins over with their three kids last winter, and my mother and father made pizza. Normally, they make GREAT pizza, but this time the oven was too hot, and my dad insisted on leaving it in, as the crust hadn’t baked yet, but the cheese burnt. It was absolutely nauseating.
Ontario. Anywhere in Ontario. Oh my God, the pizza is horrible across the border. You would think that the pizzerias in the Niagara Peninsula and Toronto would learn some lessons from their colleauges working the ovens across the border in Buffalo, where you’ll find some of the best za in te United States. Nope. Canadian pizza includes cheese that, for some reason, uses a miracle colagulating agent that hemophiliacs would love to see in the pharmacies. Tomato paste – not sauce, but generic tomato paste. Compressed Wonder Bread for a crust. Bad, bad, bad.
There’s a chain in LA called the ‘2 for 1 pizza company’!
And if they really want to fuck you, they’ll give you three.
Frozen.
Well, I’d like to say that the pizza I had at Pepe’s in Copenhagen was the worst. Imagine a barely half-way acceptable crust, covered with cloyingly sweet sauce (obviously loaded with unseasoned tomato paste instead of tomato sauce). Tart it up with some sort of Gruyere instead of Mozerella cheese and for the piéce de resistance, use smoked bratwurst instead of pepperroni sausage. Can you say ralph in seven different languages? To top it off (as it were), the d@mn thing cost effing well near thirty dollars US.
Anyway, I’d like to say that it was the worst I’ve ever had, but Domino’s always manages to take the cake in the melted-crayons-on-cardboard-disguised-as-a-pizza catagory. Little Ceaser’s is a close second, but they just can’t compete with the anti-choice folks.
Astro Pizza in Pittsburgh, ca. 1987. I’m still not finished digesting it.
Large pizza, two toppings, five bucks. You’d think we would have been warned, but noooooo…
During our honeymoon road trip, we visited my aunt and uncle in Texas. They live in a little small town where the only pizza to be found is Domino’s. Now, we normally hate Domino’s with a passion, but this particular pizza was the worst. My aunt ordered it without asking what anyone wanted. She got two pizzas loaded with green peppers. I am allergic to green peppers. Not so much that I’ll die, but the stuff does make me incredibly sick. And Mr. Jeannie hates peppers as well. So we picked off all the peppers, which left us with approximately one ounce of cheese, almost no sauce (they must really skimp on that) and cardboard-like crust, which all still had the smell and taste of green peppers. As other people (my uncle, my cousins) started coming home, they all complained about the green peppers. This made Hubby and I wonder: Why would someone order a pizza loaded with the one ingredient that everyone hates? Even she pulled the peppers off of the pizza. I am still puzzled about that one…
Glasgow, Scotland. Curry pizza for Chrissake, with corn topping.
you people make me feel better! I feel like I’ve been spared exceptional hell…
Oh, and Zenster, bubelah, you know I love you, but Little Caesers is SECOND to Domino’s? Where do YOU live, because the LC in my neck of the woods (Only once, that’s all it took) served what appeared to be undercooked wet leather with ketchup and rubber on it. Dominoes seems like heaven next to it.
stoid
Thrilled that after 16 years in the San Fernando Valley, I * finally * found not just ** good ** pizza, I found ** great ** pizza. On some days, it’s even perfect.
Gumby’s Pizza, Madison, WI. Cheap as hell (super-large 2 toppings, $10), but from a frozen crust, a sauce that tasted exactly like the sauce in Chef Boy-R-Dee’s ravioli, and cheese that looked and tasted like it was mearly the “run off” that you get that sits on top of the cheese on a real pizza.
Everybody orders it once, and then never order’s it again.
Twice in the same day I had the same awful pizza. In a flight from Pittsburgh to Minneapolis, and then from Minneapolis to Los Angeles I had the same awful pizza. Ii
came in a little cardboard box.
I think the box would have tasted better.
I don’t know about the worst pizza but it may have come from the worst pizza shop right here in Melbourne IIRC. The health department shut them down because some of the facilities were, shall we say, substandard? You know the stainless steel counte r they dress the base on? The owner converted it from a urinal he retrieved from a demolition site. :pP
Boy Scouts. Pizza cooked over a campfire. A ROARING campfire.
If you want to make pizza at camp, at least use a reflector oven.
There’s a chain here in So. Cal. called Shakey’s (might be in other places as well, I’m not sure). I had the extrememe misfortune of accidently walking into one of these places and ordering pizza and giving them some of my hard-earned money and then sitting down and actually consuming said pizza.
Gack. By far, the worst pizza, perhaps some of the worst food-stuff I’ve ever had. Far worse than any high-school cafeteria pizza, far worse than any cheap frozen pizza. It was like bad goverment cheese slightly melted on a strip of flavored cardboard.
I don’t remember how much the pizza was. I’ve blocked as much of the experience from my mind as I can. But the thing that boggles my mind is, these Shakey’s places are freakin’ EVERYWHERE! Which means people actually eat there enough to not only keep the place in business, but enough to give them motivation to open more of these ‘restaurants’.
My brother tells a great story about his trip to Poland, where he was hungry after everything had closed and wandered all over trying to find something, anything, to eat. All there was was this tiny ‘pizza’ place, that only sold by the slice (well, square). He didn’t want pizza, he wanted real food, but he was so hungry that he got a piece, and was then truly sorry he hadn’t just starved. It was cardboard with odd bits of stuff that was supposed to be sausage.
I don’t know if it is the worst (excluding frozen) but there is this place that my friends liked but I thought was one of the worst pizza I have ever tried. I would rather have Dominos then Raymoes.
Now I don’t eat pizza so it really doesn’t matter.
