    Yep, that's often where the best food is found all over the world - in the little out-of-the-way "hole-in-the-wall" places.

    Agreed. I went to this one "hole-in-the-wall" pizza place in Madeira Beach, Florida, and I mean, I'm a Wisconsinite; we pride ourselves on our pizzas, so perhaps I am guilty of treason when I say that was the best pizza I ever had. I'm also a bit of a pizza connoisseur myself, if you can understand that.

    With all due respect to Will Rogers, I never met a pizza I didn't like :)

    Interesting - I did not know that. What characterizes a Wisconsin
    pizza? Thick crust, thin crust?

    I'm from California, we have to borrow other state's pizzas. Otherwise,
    we end up with a gluten-free crust white pizza with no tomato sauce,
    pesto and ricotta cheese. And artichokes.

    That sounds like something that could be from Oregon too.. There's a pizza chain in my area called Pizza Schmizza that makes some unique pizzas similar to that. Also, I recall an episode of the TV show "Portlandia" that highlighted the way some people like to make sure their food is organic and raised well, with customers wanting to go see the farm where the farm where the chickens are raised for the restaurant they're visiting.

    I had to go for training in Chicago late 90's, the Chicago Pizza was pretty good, thick crust but the crust was very well done.
    IMHO the crust made the pizza.

    I think Chicago is known for deep dish pizza, isn't it? I enjoy that sometimes, but thick crust on a pizza isn't my favorite.. I tend to prefer a thin crust on a pizza. With a thick crust, I feel like there's too much bread.

    yeah.. it's imo pretty easy to tell that Chicago's pizza is definitely related to various pies, quiche, etc and not what became known as pizza (italian flat breads that later included pizza sauce when previously there was none.. and possibly no cheese either!)

    it basically feels like a desert, especially if the sauce is super sweet, with a little cake for the ingredients to sit on

    i've thought about this a bit and to me there are three types of pizza

    new york/pseudo-new york/"generic" - basically a race to the top of the bottom. you don't usually complain about these so much unless you paid the good price for pizza that should be on the list further below..

    deep dish or detroit - spend the money and get a nice one once in a while.. don't eat lunch that day. not embarassing to eat with a fork sometimes ;) also seems to be the only one they can accidentally burn the heck out of and it can still be awesome

    little caesar's or gas station - this is a different kind of food. so many times i've visited places that "fixed" their pizza.. better ingredients and all that, and it goes from the top of this junk food pizza list to the bottom of the new york list above..

    i can usually eat all three of these in the same week without being "bored" with pizza

    As a matter of fact, they are. I went to Chicago and had one of their pizzas once. It was pretty good, but it is definitely not a thin crust, and that does seem to be the trend these days. The place where I had the pizza actually had one of Michael Jordan's old jerseys hanging on the wall. Like I said, I'm a connoisseur of pizzas.

    I worked with a consultant from New Jersey who was rushing to catch his
    flight back. Ordered a chicago style slice thinking he could fold it
    and eat while running through the airport, not realizing he'd need to
    sit down with a knife and a fork!

    I never understood the fixation with New York-style pizza until I went
    to the Jersey shore. Went to a boardwalk, got a slice of pepperoni, and
    the crust somehow was soft but crispy so you could fold it while
    eating. New York bagels, too - we don't do them justice out here.

    Schmizza's OK. I wonder if they're still serving their Alligator pizza. Personally, I miss the PNW style pizza from back in the day like at Pietro's or Sunshine. Fultano's on the coast is my favorite thin PNW style pizza. Then there's Nona Emilia's in Aloha, not PNW style, but a different kind of thick crust I've never found anywhere else.. Friday nights at my friend's house was always Nona's night.

    Pietro's is still around, at least at one or two locations, as far as I know. I believe there's still a Pietro's in Milwaukie.

    Also, there's a pizza restaurant in Portland called Pizza Baron that makes pizza that I think is very similar to Pietro's. I went there a couple months ago to get one of their combination pizzas, and I really enjoyed it.

    I also really like Nonna Emilia's too. Lately when I go there, I've usually been getting some of their pasta dishes, but I've been wanting to get one of their pizzas again.

    You know, I never really gave much thought to that. I guess Rocky Rococo's started here, and they were "pan-style" pizza. Other than that, I guess I was just born and raised here and whatever my first impressions of pizza were, that's what I go by.

    I've also grown up in Wisconsin, and I don't think there's really anything that could be considered "Wisconsin style" when it comes to pizza. Even Rocky Rococo's is kind of a Detroit style pizza, I suppose.

    Local bars around here usually offer a thin crust variant, and then there's a bunch of terrible chains.

    Wisconsin is bordered by Illinois to the south, Minnesota to the west, Lake Michigan to east, and Lake Superior and Michigan U.P. to the north. Have to swim halfway across Superior to get to Canadian border. Don't think your geography works. Besides, is Quebec really Canada? LOL.

    I've tried poutine once, and it wasn't in Canada. It was at some sort of Irish bar in Minneapolis, where parents went during a break in our daughter's volleyball tournament.

    I was leary about ordering it, seeing as though it was .. an Irish bar in Minnesota, but we were pleasantly surprised with it. It had brisket, cheese curds, and a dark brown gravy that was pretty damn good, and well seasoned.

    While you are correct about the US states Wisconsin borders, and that WI doesn't actually border Canada (because of Michigan's waters), Quebec does not border Lake Superior. Having driven the Circle Tour I can confirm that, on the Canadian side, Superior is surrounded by Ontario. ;)

    I shall have to admit that it is not something that appealed to me so I did not try it while in Canada in 2017. I did try "real" Canadian Bacon, and I did try out Tim Horton's.

    church and a big Russian/Polish population. A fresh perogie is a thing

    Within a 10-block radius, you'd find a polish deli, one of the best

    Not sure if you'd call this the "American version", but go to Denny's and get an order of fries "covered and smothered". By default it's with the white gravy, but you could ask for brown gravy. It's that with cheese and onions.
    I usually get it without onions.

    Not sure if you'd call this the "American version", but go to Denny's
    and get an order of fries "covered and smothered".


    Anyone knows - you don't go to Denny's, you end up there!

    The only Dennys we have in town (that I've found) is attached to a truck stop and their prices are WAY out of line. We went there the other night and will NOT be going back there again.

    I like Denny's, though the one that was nearest me closed years ago. There are still a couple in the metro area where I am though.

    The last time I went into a Denny's was approx 45 years ago with my first wife. We were eating while she filled out a job app to work there. The manager was sitting at the table with us talking about the job. I was sitting across the table from my wife watching a 1" roach crawl on her.

    That was my last trip to Denny's...

    Sort of like White Castle if you end up there after midnight. ;)

    Normally I don't let one bad experience ruin the whole thing for me. I've been to Denny's plenty of times and have always enjoyed it and haven't noticed cockroaches or anything.

    The only thing I know about Denny's is that a friend of mine in middle school said he got food poisoning there once and I've been scared of it ever since. xD

    That can happen anywhere. I've gotten
    food poisoning from McDonald's, among
    other places. I wouldn't say stay away
    from all Denny's because one guy got
    sick once ;).
