Post-play date grilled hot dogs with Doritos cool ranch
wild snow crab claws with toppings
Sauteed Argentinian red shrimp
raw radishes
leftover Mexican rice and leftover fish tacos
bowl of blueberries with Puffins and Kashi heart shaped cereal
I still crave more dessert. I’ll probably get a Melona bar.

With being at home for work and play probably 95% of the time these days, walking the dog and going out for takeout rather than delivery have become welcome relief and even entertainment for me. So maybe takeout opens up some more options for you. But I realize it can be much more of a chore when you live in the city.
I like Spacca Napoli too. Just depends on what I'm in the mood for. I don't think one should discriminate against any style of pizza . But I probably side with Mr. CE more often since I try to avoid large amounts of bread. Tying in to "what's for dinner", last night I made a thin crust pizza with a fresh crushed tomato sauce - soppressata, red onion, mushroom, banana pepper & salad with a French vinaigrette. Tonight is flank steak and some kind of vegetable.

Tonight it will be gnocchi with Puttanesca sauce, accompanied with an orange and fennel salad.

Boo! I love green peppers on a pizza. OTOH, there is no topping which I have to have. Yesterday, we had one with white sauce with garlic pesto and sausage, the other was a Margherita.

Other than cheese. I've tried those too-fancy-for-their-own-good pizzas without cheese and it's just not pizza. Call it flatbread or something else. I get that restaurants likely make them for vegans, but it's still not pizza. But I'm with you, as long as it tastes good, I don't care what's on it or not on it. The only somewhat common topping I refuse to eat is pineapple. Fortunately that's a rare thing here in Chicago, though not as much of a sin as ketchup on a hot dog .

I love chicken but I’m not into chicken or other poultry on pizza. I probably don’t want lamb. I suppose also no horse, human, lion, dolphin, and turtle. No bat.
I enjoy baking pizza with raw onion. Plus even raw onion in salad, ala lou malnatis. Still don’t get how their raw mushroom in salad are so good because I fear eating raw mushroom. Maybe it’s because I only buy Bella brown mushroom at Costco.
oh, yes for raw mushroom, raw onion, raw other veggies on pizza. Maybe because it’s baked. Perhaps grilled pizza doesn’t succeed with these raw vegetables.

they’re great! I just thaw for a day in the fridge and then cook in olive oil at 3 min per side. Not yet mushy.
Sob - I love these things.

But have you never had BBQ chicken pizza or thai chicken pizza at California Pizza Kitchen? They are very good.
I love red, yellow, orange peppers but green peppers are vile....they even stink up the pizza box so I would never split a pizza with someone who had them on their half. I love raw onions on burgers or hot dogs or sandwiches or salads or tacos but that is it...much too harsh for pizza. Carmelized onions on a pizza are heavenly. I might have to make a carmelized onion & goat cheese pizza soon. I don't have arugula in the house but if I did I would for sure put that on top.
I buy regular shrimp and not the argentine red...do they taste different?

My favorite trifecta of pizza toppings lately has been grilled eggplant, grilled shrimp, and ricotta (NY or New Haven-style). As for Chicago-style, I had a nice jalapeno pie over at Gullivers on Howard Rd. Indeed, caramelized onions, portobello mushrooms, and (at Limoncello in Cancun) langostinos are quality too, IMO.
Have no grievances with pineapple on pizza - al pastor pie, anyone? - but I strongly oppose mayonnaise. Living in East Asia ruined that condiment for me.

You're correct. I absolutely would not go back for that. I wouldn't go for it the first time either.

I guess no one is on board with pickles on a pizza? I know there is a honey on pizza thread....I like my honey mixed with pepperoncin before I put it on the pizza.

Calibur supper carryout
leftover chow mein, fried in hot sesame oil with bok choy. The bok choy was cooking a few minutes before I added the chow mein.
some grocery store sushi that wasn’t consumed for luncheon today.
raw onion on pizza is fab. I just know that you grill your pizza so maybe raw onions won’t get a good effect compared to oven-baked pizza.
I have had bbq chicken cpk pizza. Never again. I simply refuse chicken on pizza.
I only bought Argentinian red shrimp because it’s wild. I prefer to only buy wild seafood. I know it costs more money. I’m sure it tastes just like any farmed shrimp. Really depends on how it’s cooked.

I have no idea what your last paragraph says. lol

Comfort food night: Chicken schnitzel with capers and onions in cast iron with a side of sauerkraut. Good, fast, and cheap. Will try Solomonov's 4+ hour egg marinade version next time.
