I've a pizza oven so I figured it be convenient if they wanted something quick and easy. I had this other stuff too, so yea. They wouldn't starve while here.

I'm cool like that Jack.


Belittle me all you like. Tis nothing, really.

Cheers, now post one of your pies for our watering eyes.

Fishy, a doomsday prepper or a hermit?

You should have asked them to cook it for you too.

...the parma ham and spinach were added after the base had been cooked...a real taste and texture difference that I appreciated...

Each to their own, tomcat, and I can see what you mean with the textures, but not really the taste.

For me, that's just a sandwich on warm bread, albeit nicely presented. Pide, lahmacun, manakish, pizza etc...it's cooked and much better for the taste.

Nice ham, cheese, salad toasted sandwich but pizza? No!

I'd hope you downed the pint of house vinegar down in one, it'll make your butty taste better

You show 'em, Chitty!

Out of date brandy and Iceland's finest are where it's at!

Now if you want a MANS pizza try this latest offering from Pizza Hut Australia. N.B. Not for namby pamby bedwetting euros.

We have a place here where you go and buy a pizza...then bring it home and cook it yourself. "Papa Murphy's Take and Bake."

Pretty much like a supermarket then?

Chez Chitty - Stoke's number 1 Italian restaurant - does a roaring trade in a number of regional Italian speciality pizzas: Pizza di Morrisonsa, Pizza di Tescoa, Pizza di Icelanda...

Fills a hole, which I'm sure is TCs priority

Nope...Pizzas only. They just don't bake them. That's your job.
I thought it would never fly...but they're still going after about 6 or 7 years.

Just out of curiousity we've tried a couple of their pies and they're actually not that bad.

Not sure. In my travels I've only seen the one here at home. Pretty sure they're a chain though.

Keep this between me and you, fella, but I'm gonna have a dabble on my next visit.

I won't breathe a word of it...

I looked em up and they are nationwide...scattered widely. None in the NE, that I could see on their map of locations. Hdqtrs in Vancouver, WA

Was going to mention that their prices aren't much lower compared to the places that bake it for you.

Being serious for a mo, there's that much food in the US, you'd be mad to stick to crappy pizzas.

I saw someone on here say they couldn't get anything to eat apart from fast food chain crap when they were there. Nonsense! When we were there we were eating a home-cooked brekky, Ethiopian for lunch, Tex-Mex for dinner and then a Korean BBQ on the way home! And then we'd do something completely different the next day!

Cracking place for food, the US. Like the UK in that regard if you want choice.

There is that obsession with fast food though. I'd say every 3rd ad on the telly was a fast food gaff. What's that all about when you have the choices you have?

plus it's a car culture here and all the fast food joints have drive-thrus. McDs has even added a second lane in many of their locations.

^ don't the decent joints deliver food?

Define decent.

Just about all the pizza places deliver. Other than that, slim pickings in my location. I suppose in the big cities it's much different.

We came here a few times for takeout and the food has never failed. It's not the most authentic Italian food you can have, but it's definitely very good.
