I have previously written about 7-Eleven adding more hot food items, round-the-clock, including pizza, both whole and sliced. A whole pepperoni retails for 9.99. The program of adding ready-cooked foods reflects changing consumer habits – for one thing, 7-Eleven has to make up for the rapidly decreasing income from tobacco sales. Plus they have moved… Continue reading 7-Eleven Pizza, the Home Version

Amsterdam, NL – L’Amour Bakery, Pizza, Hot Dogs
It seems like there is a bakery every 50 feet in Central Amsterdam. Selling delicious baked goods, sweet waffles (a local favorite), many of them also offer dogs, pizza, and/or burgers. L’Amour was one we passed by regularly, and one late nite, after “coffee”, the appeal of a waffle drenched with chocolate and caramel, and… Continue reading Amsterdam, NL – L’Amour Bakery, Pizza, Hot Dogs
Amsterdam, NL – Jerusalem Shoarma, Pizza & Steakhouse
You say shoarma, I say shawarma – however you say it, pronounce it, this Middle Eastern/Mediterranean basin specialty has sure taken root all over the globe. (Wiki country-by-country reference/definitions). The word comes from Turkish, and today is an all-encompassing description of a spicy meat sandwich served on a pita, usually with cucumber sauce and diced… Continue reading Amsterdam, NL – Jerusalem Shoarma, Pizza & Steakhouse
Amsterdam, NL – New York Pizza, The Original
You would have thought the proprietor would have added the name “Ray’s” in there somewhere, I would have. This shop was just around the corner from my hotel, about 50 paces, and no, I didn’t plan it that way, but it was convenient. (He was selling slices at 10AM!) We were on our way to… Continue reading Amsterdam, NL – New York Pizza, The Original
“Ho-Made” Chicago Deep Dish Pizza
Received this recipe in an email from King Arthur’s flour – (recipe here) – for Chicago Deep Dish pizza, and decided to try it out. I followed the recipe ingredients precisely with one notable difference, I used King Arthur’s Perfect Pizza Blend flour in lieu of “All Purpose.” The recipe says this makes one large… Continue reading “Ho-Made” Chicago Deep Dish Pizza
Portland, OR – Bellagios Pizza
I’ve generally been unsatisfied with delivery pizzas in Portland. Well,for that matter, pizzas in general. I’ve found a few I like, like the one at the Silver Dollar Bar on Broadway in down town, and the slices at the take away outlet for Pazzo {Pazzoria), on Washington near Broadway. Tonight I ordered delivery from a… Continue reading Portland, OR – Bellagios Pizza
Home Test – DiGiorno Crispy Flatbread Pizza
I have been wanting to try one of these, see how crispy their “Crispy Flatbread” gets. I am skeptical about the results from the get-go, because at the store I purchased this product from, the entire selection of the product had obviously been subjected to freezing problems (like thawed and refrozen – indicated by warped… Continue reading Home Test – DiGiorno Crispy Flatbread Pizza
Home Test – Culinary Circle Pizza
Today I tried out the Culinary Circle Ultra Thin Crust Spicy Italian Sausage pizza. Culinary Circle is a house brand of Albertson’s (SuperValu), whose mission is to create “hef inspired cuisine that mirrors today’s most popular restaurants, Culinary Circle is transforming creative casual dining at home.” As SuperValu is a grocery mega-holding company, I would… Continue reading Home Test – Culinary Circle Pizza
Putt Putt to the Pizza Hut….er The Hut
Ok, not that I’m a marketing genius, but I simply don’t get the dumping of a brand name that has been around for decades or longer. Oh, I read the puff pieces on how a particular company (Pizza Hut, Radio Shack, Ask Mr. Foster) justified the change (update?), but I still don’t get it. Perhaps… Continue reading Putt Putt to the Pizza Hut….er The Hut
San Clemente, CA – Pizza Plus
Although I usually have a place in mind, when I roll into a town, sometimes I like to play pizza roulette, and take my chances on any one of a dozen goofy factors, i.e. largest yellow pages ad, 3rd pizzeria on the left, and like that. This stems from adventures some buddies and I used… Continue reading San Clemente, CA – Pizza Plus
