I think pizza joints and restaurants should have some sort of disclaimer on their spicy pizza that protects them from digestive-challenged patrons :) Perhaps I should buy shares in Rolaids or Pepsid AC, I would probably make some good money! :)
So, what are your most "memorable", or not-so-memorable pizza moments? ;)
Dave.
Innocuous and delicious.
Until some a** substitutes mussels for the shrimps.
I, of course, am violently allergic to mussels.
The only good thing was that the reaction was so fast I had only had one bite.
I once inquired of the local pizza joint in a small town if they'd make me a specialty pizza - a garlic and jalapeno pizza. The girl laughed.
When I said I'm serious and began pleading with her she laughed that much harder. I finally got her to take me seriously and as I hung up the phone with the order securely placed I glanced at the calendar on my wall. It was April 1st.
ROTFLMAO!
so, did ya get yer pizza?
(Serves 6, 5 live)
Ingredients:
3 chicken breasts, chopped into small pieces, but not small enough to swallow in one go.
1 Bottle Dave's Ultimate Insanity Sauce [davesgourmet.com]
1 jar mild cook-in curry sauce
1 syringe
Oil for frying
Method:
1. Fill syringe with Dave's Ultimate Insanity Sauce.
2. Heavily inject sauce directly into the centre of 1 chicken piece.
3. Heat small amount of oil in a frying pan.
4. Individually fry the spiked chicken piece until it is sealed. Remove from pan, discard oil and clean pan.
5. Heat fresh oil in frying pan.
6. Fry all the chicken pieces (including spiked piece) until sealed, then proceed with directions on cook-in-sauce jar.
7. Serve hot. For one diner, this will not be a problem.

Garlic seems to be a universal favourite here :)
Dave.
had the opposite problem last time I bought a so-called spicy pizza. It was bland bland bland.
This is one of the drawbacks of becoming a chillihead - you do desensitise to it over time - and just like any "addiction" you need more and more to achieve the same effect.
My curry of choice is now a Phal; - and although intolerably hot to "normal people", it is one of the healthier Indian restaurant menu choices as it is tomato rather than cream based. Many restaurants don't list it on the menu; but most will prepare one for you if you ask.
Makes you laugh when you see those ready meals in Sainsbury's with 3 pictures of a chilli on the front and "HOT!" in big letters. Yeah, right...

I did a New York pizza tour last year. Fabulous. Went to the oldest most authentic pizza joints I could find- I ate pizza every day for a week.
Pizza!
Second most memorable moment was pulling a runner on a pizza joint when I was a teenager. We had the money, we just wanted the pizza and the thrill of not paying for it.
Pizza!
dmorison...Curry pizza? Never had, but definately a possibility! I no longer used powdered curry anymore. I use the Hot curry paste...it tastes better and is MUCH hotter!
Martinibuster..I take it you like pizza? ;) I must admit..I've never run off with a pizza...and I'm probably too old now to even get kicks out of it. When I was in university I tried about 50 different pizza joints around the city. Man do some places make weird pizza!
Ever had a baked potato pizza? It had potato, bacon and cheddar cheese. Only thing is when I saw it, I didn't realize it had potato on it *gag* Man, did that ever ruin it! Here I was thinking to myself, "Yummy! A bacon and cheddar pizza". Wrong ;)
I've had a smoked salmon pizza too...takes a required taste, but it wasn't too bad! :)

Sadly this was just a crap pizza place. It was the first time we went there but will also be the last. To many other good places to go. Their marketing was really cool too.
We buy Asian Gourmet Spice Pastes for our own curry/chilli cooking at home. They come from Singapore I think and are wonderful. When they put three chilli's on there you know it's really going to work up a sweat. But there's also such intensity of flavours underneath the heat, some places get carried away with the hot part and forget the rest. I haven't tried it on pizza yet though, hmmm.
Yup. My wife doesn't talk to me when I eat it though and you don't want to be in my vicinity after about 4 hours.
>> Frank's Hot Sauce.
I have an alter to Frank in my kitchen.
>> Most fabulous pizza I've had to date was a buffalo wing pizza with artichoke hearts. The wings were made with Franks and had the obligatory blue cheese dressing on them spread all across a white pizza. YUM
Simply Pepperoni - nothing more. Cooked as a 12inch thin pan and cut so the slices fold to make eating easier. Anyone who eats pizza with cutlery needs a slap! I am so hungry now! - this thread should come with a free slice :)
I prefer "Pepe Frank-Pizzeria Napoletana". The white clam is to die for.
Others prefer Sally's. Both on Wooster St near Yale.
Worst pizza I ever had was my own creation. Usually alright, but one night ... The wife and kids threatened to leave me is I made another one like that
Limbo...I couldn't agree More with you. Pizza is indeed the food of the Gods!
jbinbpt....Your wife a kids threatened to leave you after one of your pizza disasters? Now that is too funny :)
Well gang, all of this pizza talk has made me ravenous. Tomorrow I'm going to go golfing, suck back a few beer and then eat pizza's with my hot sauce. (Will I ever learn? Nah) ;)
Dave.
But I made more pizza this weekend that turned out fine. Cold leftover pizza makes a great breakfast or lunch.
now, I'm in Boston and can't get a real slice. I have however, driven two hours to new haven to get some real pizza...
Dave.
