They're like so serrated you could probably saw wood with one, and they will tear your mouth up a little. We hit up a foosackly's when we were hangry and tired after getting stuck in a 6 hour traffic jam on I10 crossing the Atchafalaya. I don't know if it was any good, but boy was fried chicken and fries a lifesaver.

Even if you're limiting yourself to popular fare for the college kids and not hoity-toity upscale dining, I'd rather go to El Arroyo or Trudy's.

Kinda tangentally related since none of those lists are for the best G5 pizza joints, but you cannot have a conversation about the best pizza in Dallas without mentioning Cane Rosso and Zoli’s. Guy Fieri featured Cane Rosso on DDD (which has opened more locations since then) and Zoli’s is owned by the same guy. They each specialize in different styles of pizza; CR does Neapolitan and I think Zoli’s does something closer to New York style. Both are loving excellent. Taste of Chicago is pretty good too if you like Chicago deep dish. If I remember right it’s almost right across the street from Zoli’s. I had a boss from Chicago who ate there all the time and swore by it.

The Notorious ZSB posted:The list got right that Macado's is my favorite place in Blacksburg, but actual best food? I think there are some higher end options these days that are well regarded around there. Sort of expected to see The Cellar top this list, which I'm guessing is trying optimize between how good the food was and how likely you were to eat there on a college budget. For just straight-up food quality downtown, The Black Hen is the real fuckin deal.

I. M. Gei posted:I feel like this would make a way better argument if Rice and UH weren’t so loving close to each other. Remember their two campuses are literally only separated by a municipal park; they’re probably less than like 2 miles from one another. I'm well aware where Rice and UH are in Houston - it's closer to 4 miles as the crow flies and 30 minutes by car - and the two are in completely different parts of Houston. In Austin terms Rice is in like that neighborhood between the Mopac and Downtown, and UH is in east Austin Regardless neither place is even the best option in their respective neighborhoods, or blocks even, and that list is a shitpost. dirty shrimp money fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Apr 27, 2021 |

I'm also glad that they didn't just default to Primanti's for Pitt because it really isn't that good in the first place. I really like Pamela's, but I wouldn't declare it to be the best in Pittsburgh. Also a bit odd because it pretty much is just for breakfast.

Personally preferred Home Slice in Austin. Mellow is good, but its pricey and can get going with too many toppings. I will forever enjoy rolling up to the South Congress spot and getting a few slices to wander down the street with.

Mellow is probably top tier as far as chains go, always pretty solid. Recently we’ve been doing our own pizza at home and that’s cool and also frustrating

With spring games the defense knows exactly what the offense is planning on. The offenses also run bare bones basic playbooks as well. While Arizona might have a terrible offense or a really good defense you simply can't really tell from a spring game.

Sash! posted:I always preferred College to Canyon, though I recognize and respect Canyon's stature. There was a place on Hetzel that I can't remember the name of that I liked too. It isn't there any more anyhow. college pizza is better but i have much better memories and stories from canyon, so it's a toss up. it's weird going to the new canyon location, it still feels like the same thing but the slight change in geography throws me off real bad. Are you thinking of Bell's greek pizza? I can't remember if that was around where you're talking about or not. That place owned and i frequently went there at 3-4 am because they'd just give out whatever was leftover at the end of the night for free to whoever happened to be around

Gumbys rocks they had a special called the Big rear end at the one in Columbia, MO that was like 20+" and I loved eating that poo poo drunk as hell Of course, couldn't hold a candle to Shakespeares and I was very sad to see Shakes has become a victim fo the extreme Student Luxury Apt-ification of downtown Como. They used to have a deal where you got a triple shot well drink for $3.50, such a beautiful thing

I don’t think there are any deep dish places in town, Mangia was the closest but idk if there are any locations left.

KKKLIP ART posted:Recently we’ve been doing our own pizza at home and that’s cool and also frustrating I found that once I got good at actually tossing the dough so that it distributes correctly to have a thinner center and thicker edge mine started turning out much better. When toppings don't bleed off the crust onto your oven/stone it's better. Also never forget to brush the crust with olive oil and add your favorite flavor shake to it. Garlic Salt is a good baseline, but everything shake is also real strong. A good pizza stone helps too, although my boy just got a crazy italian gas powered outdoor pizza oven that seems like its really good. I've got this parm/black garlic/truffle shake that I am going to put on my next round of ZAAAAA Also no doubt that while pearls of mozz are fine and good for your pizza, getting your burrata on will up the quality immensely for when its fresh. I feel like for leftovers straight mozz is a bit more palatable cold. The Notorious ZSB fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Apr 28, 2021 |

Apparently have had 3 new places/trailers open up in the last few months since we moved out. I will say, on the average, the pizza up here in CT is for sure superior.
