Man, quite the contretemps above - and over pizza! Anyway, to squirt some more lighter fluid on the fire - Z Pizza is Numero Uno (the Thai chicken is to die for). If you are going to do a carbo-overload, at least make the experience a satisfying one.
Pizza threads are
always controversial here. Remember the dust up between actual pizza and "Chicago-style" awhile back?
I'm still not getting why questioning the implicit assumption behind a thread (in this case, that everyone had a favorite chain pizza of places) should be considered out of bounds or even insensitive. Does it actually bother you to hear that some people don't like any chain pizza?
The pretentiousness angle doesn't strike me as compelling, either. We're talking about pizza. The kind of local joints that abound in the Northeast are just as greasy, cheap, and unnutritious as anything that a chain restaurant puts out, so it seems like a reasonable comparison to draw. No one is talking about artisanal pizza with sun dried tomatos, olive oil, and goat cheese or anything like that, even though I'm sure that there are posters who prefer fancy pizza.
This, exactly this.
