....Calzone over here. Cant help getting all mushed up with Ricotta and sauce.

But hey, basic pepperoni pizza will work fine.

My trifecta for toppings are pepperoni, jalapenos, and bacon(real bacon not "Canadian"). After that, maybe some onions, sausage and mushrooms added to it.

Johnny I worked at Pizza Inn too for about a year when I was in high school. I was just a basic pizza maker. They taught me how to twirl the dough and there was a kiddie window where kids would walk up and watch the pizza makers put on a “dough show”.

I had a great time working there. One of the best pranks I’ve ever seen pulled happened when I worked there! Still laugh about it.

We had a Taco Bell across the street and sometimes we would call TB and ask if they would trade 3 large pizzas for a dozen tacos and they would usually agree.

Down the street was our big rival Pizza Hut. One night we called Pizza Hut posing as Taco Bell people and said we would love to trade 3 large pizzas in exchange for a dozen tacos. (This was before “caller ID”, lol) The Hut folks were all over it.

About 30 min later me and my PI buddies watched the Taco Bell parking lot with binoculars and saw the Hut guy delivering a big stack of pizzas. We could see the TB manager shake his head no. We were howling with laughter. The Pizza Hut guy had to head back to Hut with those pizzas and no tacos. Ah the joys of phone pranks are long gone.

Hey, which one did you work at? I eat at the one in NRH from time to time.

Something I've discovered lately is "Detroit Style" pizza. It's basically similar to Chicago deep dish but cut in squares and has some crispy goodness on the ends. Where I'm at in Florida, Jet's Pizza is the way to go, and I like pretty much all meat toppings. Speaking of which, there is a place here called Wildwoods (I think) that makes a bunch of specialty pizzas. One of them is a Cuban pizza with ham, pork and pickles. It's really good in my opinion. I know the pickles may have some saying yuck, but it works just like a Cuban sandwich.

My favorite is sausage, green peppers and onions.

One style that’s very good. Sounds odd but is very good. My pop pop used to get it regularly: broccoli, onions and bacon.

Might want try the new Papa John’s pan crust, It’s basically a round Detroit Style pizza. Recently ordered it.

In the early to mid 80's we had a Godfathers in town. Their Supreme style, with black olives was a staple on Friday nights at our house. Eventually they folded and faded away. Fast forward 40 years and I still haven't found anything close to the taste of those style pizzas.

You hit my sweet spot.

First, get what you lilke. Some people like pineapple and ham. I've tried it and it isn't as bad as it sounds. If you enjoy it, eat it.

But I draw the line at certain things on my pizza. Onions, and green bell peppers or red bells are the only acceptable vegetables on a pizza. And they must be cooked on the pizza. No jarred roasted peppers please!

As for meats, only pepperoni and thin sliced Italian sausage. Meatballs is on the line but go easy on that. No ham, chorizo or chicken, especially buffalo chicken. That's not pizza! I find Buffalo chicken and sauce to be gross.

And then there is the cheese. mozzarella, some provolone, and s hint of parmesan is allowed. No cheddar, goat cheese or ricotta, unless it is a white pizza. Then Romano and ricotta are allowed - but still no cheddar or American cheese.

Yeah Godfather's Pizza used to be awesome, there are still a couple Loves Country Stores around here that have Godfather's Pizza but it isn't the same. Not even close

I really wish we could turn back the clock about four decades so we can’t take for granted the great places that faded away. The local Godfathers in SE Houston had this pizza topped with chopped brisket in a light bbq sauce topped with that wonderful cheese. It was the only store to do it and it was the best pizza ever!

Adding: that pizza was only available on Friday and Saturday nights, the store was next door to a Blockbuster…..double score

Jalapeños and banana peppers are good on pizza too.

Shakey's Pizza was the **** back in the day. Weigh a lunch was awesome. Mojos! I think it still exists some where on West Coast, but not in Texas. I loved Godfather's back then as well.

We have a local place that makes a Triple Pep; pepperoni, bell pepper and pepperoncini (also has italian sausage). It is fantastic.

Shakey’s is all over SoCal, go there on occasion. There are still some dine-in(not in gas stations) Godfathers scattered around. I think there are a few around DFW.
