I just ordered two large pizzas online from Papa John's because it wasn't appreciably greater in price than ordering the one extra-large three-topping special INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYS

One of them has mushrooms, sausage, and pepperoni.
The other has pineapple and ham.

I only have three beers.

What movie or tv show am I going to watch tonight?

those are good pizzas

though i probably prefer pineapple with pepperoni rather than ham

no pineapple on pizza pls

papa john's is like eating a sponge w/ cheese on it imo

you should have gotten more beers, duh

but what movies do you have, i will pick a good one

I am sort of ashamed for ordering pizza online when I live in a city with so many great local pizza restaurants. The ones nearby are kind of mediocre, though.

It's true about I should have gotten more beers. They are relatively high ABV, but I still think I will be left wanting more by 9:30 or 10.

I might watch Pootietang or From Hell, or one of the later planet of the apes movies. I watched Twin Peaks all day.

are you going going to utilize the "dipping sauce"

pootietang!!!

that's what i would pick anyway

I probably will utilize the dipping sauce.
Last time they gave me ranch instead of the usual garlic butter stuff, but I used it anyway. It was... better than expected.

a city with so many great local pizza restaurants

Is this really really true, though? I feel like a lot of neighborhoods are so packed with crummy $1 corner-slice places that there's no room left for the decent local-pizzeria places.

the garlic butter sauce makes me feel like i've given up on life

The average pizza in NYC is probably better than the average pizza in most cities.
Even if the pizza around the corner from my apartment is not, say, Grimaldis or Difara or whatever, it's still better than the typical non-chain place where I grew up.

Hello.

In my experience the best cheap corner shop pizza can be found in New York City. I think the best pizza places in the United States can either be found in New York or Chicago, but the cheap locations in Chicago are a cut below the best in NYC.

how many slices will you eat

i would much rather have a crummy $1 corner slice than papa john's

I am gonna nom on some NY pizza tomorrow or know the reason why

maybe even tonight, I'm crazy like that

in fact I may stop by ian's and steal some of his while he's headed to the fridge for beer

i will probably eat 6 or 7 slices tonight and the rest tomorrow.

pootietang is not loading on my DVD player.

certain schefters, virginia plains and ghost riders will probably disagree, but i was happier with my go-to pizza places in dc

i vote later apes, obv

i am going to watch the fabulous stains dvd and drink beer. i don't know yet what's for dinner.

i am jealous of ian's metabolism, not jealous of shitty pizza or broken dvd player

i'm still at work and we're ordering culver's for dinner

<3 jbr screen name!

DVD player knows what's up

i would argue that pizza has to be really shitty in order to be shitty pizza

thx, gonna change it soon though (xposts)

I had a fake blt @ teany (pretty good), will probably get "crummy $1 corner slice" i.e. food of the gods later

pj's is pretty shitty

jordan otm, when I see them in ny I wonder why the locals don't riot at the sight of them

who the hell besides crap chains still sells pizza for $1 a slice?

my crap slices are pretty $ these days

yeah but is pj's shitty enough to call it shitty pizza? that is the question. i haven't had it in awhile though.

my favorite place out here (in a skeezy strip mall) charges $3 a slice! but i'll gladly pay it cuz it's quality pizza.

i thought we must have done a poll of the best shitty chain pizza but i can't find one

i'm thinking i want a real sandwich tonight -- something with good crusty bread and boar's head cold cuts.

for best shitty chain pizza PJ's is the least vomitous.

the places that charge you guys $2+ for slices give it to really handsome guys for a dollar, that's why we call them dollar slices

i am just saying, sometimes at my office we get pizza and sometimes it's fucking dominos and man it's fucking free pizza and you know what? i eat it and it is fucking delicious.

i was looking around the staff kitchen for condiments just now and i couldn't find any mustard, but there was a packet of Border Sauce so i put that on my burger

these pizzas are pretty yummy.

tbh I can't really understand making a distinction between domino's and papa john's - I'll eat a domino's pizza once in a while and enjoy the fuck out of it, pizza is delicious food eat some every day

enjoy it while you can ian I'm halfway there

i sure do like cheese, meat and tomatoes

bread's just a platter for me

the crust is the best part for me.

do not eat some every day, or else you will be asking ilx how to lose weight

it was a metaphor

i had one of these upside down pizzas a few weeks ago:

http://www.chicagopizzaandovengrinder.com/images/new-12-03-01/pizza-small.jpg

i accidentally ordered the pineapple & ham pizza with the thick crust/deep dish option. which kind of sucks. now i know.
also, i am watching law & order svu on teh dvd.
j0hn pick up a few more beers pls kthx.

I'm on it homie you like cream ale y/n

yeah dawg sure.

you should live in cleveland where apology pizzas are the norm, and not the exception

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs2008/news/story?id=3381471

do not eat some every day, or else you will be asking ilx how to lose weight

haha I spent the day trying on clothes that would have fit me a couple years back & don't now, I suspect the time for me to ask ilx how not to pack on the pounds is long gone

pizza, beer, svu

pretty sure ian and i were separated at birth, or that he's the kid I accidentally left in the shopping cart that one time

lol cleveland never change

i am eating pickles out of teh jar!

we had that 23 cent pizza thing in columbus too and i considered walking down the block for free pizzas but then i saw on the internet that a pizza scandal was about to occur :(

i mean for 23 cent pizzas duh

the only scandal here involves my roommate ganking some slices.

Everytime someone disses Cleveland an angel gets a chicken wing.

ts: ganking vs. horking

lol kingdom of the crys

First GIS result for 'the crys':

i truly believe that even bad pizza is fucking good. or at least better than bad anything-else food.

my roommates just turned off SVU so they can watch heroes :(

this thread is ^_^ bc it contains ian and caitlin talkin bout pizza and beer and pootietang <3

whatever u want to say about NYC pizza declining in quality, the worst pizza in this city is still far better than 90% of the options in LA.

jordan otm, when I see them in ny I wonder why the locals don't riot at the sight of them

i give ppl shit for ordering pj's all the time!!!

also one of the places in my hood is pretty freaking good so there's no excuse.

i will admit to after experiencing the garlic dipping sauce at a friends ordering papa johns once myself

whoever said the thing about papa johns being a sponge was otm. Go to Chicago, losers

lol to this day the finest thin crust I ever had was lorenzo's on the west side of chicago (probably rip but who knows, absolutely nobody knew about lorenzo's outside of the neighborhood they were in) so eat it all you people who never got the chance to dig lorenzo's i.e. everybody who is not me or my girlfriend

FYI the best pizza topping combo is bacon and banana peppers.

cosign on nonpootieload

find it hard to believe that the papa john's business model has prevailed for this long, but hey, everyone's a critic, i s'pose

business model: kids smoking weed to make pizza for kids smoking weed?

http://www.theonion.com/content/news/everyone_involved_in_pizzas

FYI guys, Papa John's is "Louisville style" not Chicago style.

Their crust is terrible, it is made with 9 parts yeast and 1 part water from the Ohio river.

i used to be a w33d smokin delivery guy for PJs

everytime i would go to this nyc-style slice place on valencia in sf, it seemed like the guys were faded on mushrooms and listening to sabotage-era black sabbath

in high school i got a pizza for me and my dad from little caesar's that was cut so that there were a couple two-inch slices and a bunch of slices as big as the whole pizza. this was from the same place where this punk chick who worked there let me & and a friend come back and make our own pizzas.

ah sometimes life is fun

haha, that's awesome!

almost like being allowed behind the bar to mix yr own drinks...

my friend has a story about one of his favorite nights in college, where he and some friends went to a burger joint around closing and were allowed to come back and make their own burgers.

years later, that same place let somebody back to pour their own drink and they fell and cut themselves. one of those original bros is now the prosecuting attorney, and subpoenaed my friend to come testify against the place. ;_;

oh, lawd...wow...

at the beginning of the summer i was visiting a friend in the bay area, and we ended up going to this hardcore irish bar where us "lads" got put on duty moving kegs from the back of the establishment into the bar area.

i dunno why that seemed so redemptive, but it did...

how can a slice be as big as the whole pizza???

I mean, J. that's an amazing story...

the alleged punchline to my tale is that the irish bartender called a cab for us, which turned out to be some completely unlicensed sedan driven by a Chinese woman who a had negligible grasp on the English tongue, as well as braces on her teeth (was she even old enough to be legally driving?!) and also an empty baby seat in the back, which prompted the question "is there a missing baby somewhere in this equation??"

how can a slice be as big as the whole pizza???

I'm assuming he's exaggerating... I mean, I went to get late-night slices the other night and the guy at this place was closing up and gave us obscenely large slices. Like, we ended up paying two bucks for the equivalent of more than three-quarters of a pie.

i mean as long as the whole pizza, almost

like this

haha

why are the pepperonis all weird shapes

that's awesome

The pizza place I use in TriBeCa cuts pepperonis into "weird shapes" and slices them thicker.

i would eat all of these mspaint pizza slices.

why are the pepperonis all weird shapes

they're artisanal

i don't know what happened to the crust

we would get little ceasar's in high school because it was close to campus and so cheap (2 pizzas plus crazy bread for 9.99), and the slicing was always really off. you had to move quickly or you'd get stuck with one of the midget slices while someone else made off with half the pie.

so Jordan was the ovengrinder pie upside down pie gooooood? been wanting to try one.

waht are the splotches? why, b/c they look intrsting, etc.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3245/2902149791_e09a6d40d7.jpg

splotches are...red pepper?

the pizza pot pie was pretty good. it's basically a crust bowl filled with stuff + sauce and topped with cheese, but all the ingredients were pretty high quality (esp. the sausage). the 1/2 lb one was just right, the 1 lb one looked fucking massive.

that last one looks like Centipede

lol blue mushrooms.

once again, buckner and garcia have died for our collective sins.

bump for crown heights late night papa john's delivery.

why not sbarro's

's

sbarro too romanting

seriously hungry again after reading this thread

sbarro nowhere near here

sbarro nowhere near here edible

fixed

I used to deliver for Papa John's.

SPICY ITALIAN MOFUCKER

I live two blocks from a PJ's. It is across the street from a convenience store with beer. Life is fulfilling.

OT: there are a lot of pizza places in nyc. not all of them are good.

there's a lot of awful pizza in nyc.
i mean, i live here and i know eating papa johns is somewhat gross and stupid but otoh it's cheap and i can order online.

where the fuck is my pizzaaaa

http://northernlightspizza.com/index.htm

^^ recent delivery vice

i ordered wings and breadsticks from pizza hut tonight even though there's a fancypants pizza place in walking distance and at least one decent mom & pop delivery option. (a) i was feeling like a shut-in (b) my fridge is broken and i wanted something i could eat in one sitting so i wouldn't need to put the leftovers away.

man when i first moved to bed-stuy domino's was like, the only possible delivery option. at all. i got used to it quick

I keep assuming, due to past experience, that the wings from any chain pizza place are going to be baked and horrible

ugh why do i ever do this to myself?

it is so hot i havent eaten anything today but seeing this thread title man i fucken want a pizza now

with garlic bread and root beer to drink

What, stuffing five slices into your face in less than ten minutes?

xpost

i didn't know what a "stuffed" pizza was so when i asked the girl on the phone what the difference between the "Primavera" and the "Stuffed Veggie" were because the online menu showed they were the same price and had the same toppings, just listed in different orders, she read the menu back to me over the phone. So I rolled my eyes and ordered the stuffed and now i know what a stuffed pizza is: entirely unnecessary.

I keep assuming, due to past experience, that the wings from any chain pizza place are going to be baked and horrible

i got the fake "boneless" wings; these at least have the benefit of being cooked all the way through. they're not great, but they're a vehicle for sauce.

@fredvanlente

I'm not ashamed to say that the Papa John's guy really freaks me out

@anthonyferrante

He looks like the Brady Bunch boys melded into one

actually had a Godfather mini-pizza at a truck stop whilst driving thru southern Indiana today. Not too bad.

I had papa johns for the first time yesterday

there is one pretty close to us, just never had the urge

the bread is incredibly sweet

it was bad but hey, 12 bucks

Fuck'em.

That fucking asshole. I didn't really have an argument against price increases -- if the cost of doing business goes up, it's legit to pass that on in the price of the product. But if he's going to hurt his employees out of petulance, spite and pride, fuck'em.

now it is truly the kingdom of the crys

There is, perhaps like a Papa John’s pie itself, no excess of dignity here.

since this is the de facto papa john's thread I figure I'll use it to ask: is anybody else enjoying the dénouement of Schnatter's career as much as I am? I don't even know what the properly profane epithet is for this twerp. I'm actually surprised he's not trying to dig the hole deeper and defend his racist garbage comments.

For me the real joy is seeing his name disappear from his obsequiously beloved Louisville.

there’s that but I want them to also rename the chain. And get better cheese.

I'm glad i won't have to see the absolute wankstain on my tv ever again.

xpost Hahah oh you kidder.

also if you're eating at a chain pizza place and you're not a child, or living in a place with only chain restos, then wyd?

For those like me who are usually blissfully
Ignorant

it's incredible how much worse PJ's is (or was) than even, like, Domino's

Dominos and Costco pizza are much better than PJ. (confession: even while living in NYC I would still sometimes order Dominos. It got much much better.)

yes Dominos has made great strides. ive been on a Marcos kick myself. it's hard to imagine not being spoiled for pizza choices living in the USA

bye bye this Papa John evil motherfucker.

I am sad for Papa John that his financial situation might require him to stop halfway through his surgical transition into a burn victim with hastily-Sharpied eyebrows. I mean he's put so much work into it already.

FYI i haven't eaten papa johns in probably 8 years.
