    I know ;) But it is by culinary standards a vegetable, due to the taste pallet.

    I'm going to go with the culinary definition here.

    I don't know what you are thinking when the standard you
    mention is a culinary one. But I learned that the "is it a
    fruit, is it a vegetable" debate stems around which part of the
    MEAL the plant is used. If the plant is part of the main mean,
    then it is vegetable. If it is part of a dessert, then it is a
    fruit.

    Humans (or the culinarian variety) didn't like the idea of
    eating fruits as a main meal, so they simply referred to main-
    meal plants as veggies. The term vegetable is simply made up to
    delude oneself.

    But it still does not change the tomato's botanics as a fruit.

    So.. when you order a standard pizza, it comes with the tomato
    fruit sauce! :D

    According to Wikipedia:

    "A 'Canadian' pizza is usually prepared with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, and bacon. Many variations of this pizza exist, but the two standout ingredients that make this pizza distinctly Canadian are bacon and mushrooms."

    Ironically, Canada doesn't get credit for 'inventing' the Canadian pizza... More ironically, we *are* credited for 'inventing' the Hawaiian pizza, instead. Go figure. (o_O)

    It seems steep when you could instead go to a place like Papa Murphy's
    and get a similar pizza for around $15-$17 (although you do have to
    cook theirs at home).

    You could order one of the dicounted specials, and do a one for one substitution. That'll work for a while.

    Egg and bacon are the signature ingredients. Maybe onion. Some cheese, sauce, usually tomato, but may be BBQ sauce.

    That's common in the US too. Many restuarnts have set types of pizza like that, but you can also add toppings for a charge, or sometimes just have them make your own custom pizza (with a per-topping charge).

    What are your favourite toppings on your pizza?

    Usually I like pizza with plenty of toppings on it. Usually, something like what restaurants call a "combination" pizza - but specifically, I usually like a pizza that has sausage, salami (and/or pepperoni), onion, green pepper, black olives, and mushrooms.

    Depending on my mood, sometimes I also like a Hawaiian style pizza (pineapple and what we'd call Canadian bacon in the US).

    Papa Murphy's also has some stuffed pizzas that I think are pretty good. They have 2 layers of crust, and inside, there are toppings like pizza sauce, sausage, pepperono, salami, onions, etc. and on the top they add more red sauce, cheese, green onions, and tomato. They're big, filling, and taste really good.

    The usual answer for adding stuff to your pizza was to order something with "The Lot" or just about everything on it, and then hold the ingredients you don't want.

    It's the house special plus three extra toppings. :-)

    It seems weird that pizza tends to be really expensive. Many places charge around $2.00 per extra topping, which seems steep. And there was one time when I wanted to try a local pizza place and get a large pizza, but I saw they would have wanted to charge around $30 for it. It seems steep when you could instead go to a place like Papa Murphy's and get a similar pizza for around $15-$17 (although you do have to cook theirs at home).

    Then there's also Mod Pizza, where you can buy an individual pizza and
    it costs the same price with whatever toppings you want on it.


    In Australia, instead of paying per topping, you have a log menu of different combinations "Capriciosa, Napolitana, Supreme, Hawaiian, Aussie, Formaggi,", etc. You can find a good large pizza for under $20 AUD easily.

    The "Combination" type is my favourite too. Anchovies are
    also nice, but pineapple doesn't belong on pizza.

    -------

    And the LORD did sayeth unto Japheth, "Why didst thou
    forsake the memory of the Romans and put pineapple on thy
    Pizza?". And Japheth did hide his face in shame, because he
    knew that fruit on Pizza was an abomination unto the LORD.
    [...]


    Botanically, the edible tomato is a fruit. One of pizza's
    salient feature is the tomato sauce. So.. everyone has already
    accepted fruit on their pizza. ;)


    I know ;) But it is by culinary standards a vegetable, due to the taste pallet.

    I'm going to go with the culinary definition here.

    Sorry, but Domonos is the worst pizza on the planet. I tried it back in England in the 90's when I lived there and almost gagged. For a laugh I tried it here in Dallas a year or so ago...it was still nasty. Support your local pizzeria.

    Hmmm, their offerings here in Kentucky have improved greatly since the
    1990's. I would still support the local places (that are left :( ) over
    the chains but would not turn it down if they had a good offer going.

    Here we have a Pizza Inn. Technically a chain but it has become a local fixture over the years and I they have a drive-up window so I can get a pizza with minimum contact. There is also a local place called Linney's. The pizza is very good, but they are only open on weekdays and you have to go in to
    pick it up. Their garlic bread, and several other dishes, are also very
    good.

    There are a couple other local places that are good but, dang, they are so expensive I don't go there unless it is a special occassion or someone else
    is paying. :)

    It could be. I actually didn't realize it was a chain until COVID forced
    me to start ordering online. :) Their original location (well, the one
    they were in 20+ years ago when I moved here) had the authentic "local
    dive" look to it so I figured it was a local restaurant.

    Right? Great pizza. They say it's the water and I believe them. There are even bagel places out here that try to replicate a New York bagel
    .. they just can't get the dough right, ever. I do miss the west and
    the west coast for Mexican food though, the best I've ever had. Here
    in Indiana they throw pizza sauce on burrito and call it spicy. Uhg.
    We did have a Chewy's open here, which is a non so good chain that
    serves Southwestern style Mexican food .. so I can at least eat there
    if not in the mood to make the food from scratch.

    You are in the Indianapolis area, right? There used to be a pizza place in Brownsburg called Racer's. I only went there once when it was called that.
    The pizza was not bad. Pictures of Indy 500 cars and drivers everywhere.
    The next May, it was called Adriatic Pizza. It had been sold to some folks from the coast of the former Yugoslavia. The pizza during those 2-3 Mays
    was awesome!

    It either switched hands again or closed entirely before the last couple of times I was up there. :(

    I am wondering, do you have any "Mexican" places there that are run by real Mexicans or South Americans? We have a few of those here in Central KY and they are the best ones. I did visit a Mexican place over on Shadeland or
    SW Avenue when I was up there for a conference in 2017. It was not bad. I
    had a margarita or two so my taste buds might have been a little friendlier than they might have been otherwise. :)

    HOWEVER, after having Chicago Pizza (In Chicago) and New York Pizza (almost every year, in New York) as many times as I have, there just
    isn't much to compare. They are the best. I sure hope I don't start an East coast pizza war .. thats all I have to go by...

    I assume that about the only thing more likely to be argued about in
    the pizza world is whether or not it's reasonable to put pineapple on a non-dessert pizza.

    Putting pineapple on any pizza is blasphemous.

    I've lived here for 14-15 years, otherwise my home was Colorado. I don't make it to the west side of indy often as it's not a great part of town; although Brownsburg and Avon are nice areas for the most part. Never tried either place your referencing. Most of the good restaurants these days are in Hamco, downtown, or in the broad ripple area these days -- when referring to the "city" that is. I'm sure there are great places in b-twon, but haven't been down there for over a year so I can't recall an old pizza place in brown county or b-town I like ... but there are two if you're driving from Kentucky .. something woods or bear .. can't recall.

    I am wondering, do you have any "Mexican" places there that are run by realMexicans or South Americans? We have a few of those here in Central KY andthey are the best ones. I did visit a Mexican place over on Shadeland orSW Avenue when I was up there for a conference in 2017. It was not bad. Ihad a margarita or two so my taste buds might have been a little friendlierthan they might have been otherwise. :)

    Most are owned by Mexican/South Americans, however they water down the food due to peoples intolerance to spices up here. Theres a couple of great places in the Castleton and Westfield area. The next time you're up here, lemme know and I'll look their names up. Chewy's is a great place, I just hate when restaurants put green chili and cheese on the food then throw it in a warming oven to melt the cheese. I'd rather it not look overcooked when put on my table. However the food does taste better then most Mexican places in town. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about as to the red sauce most places in Indiana put on their burritos .. tastes like pizza sauce to me. But there are some great places opening that aren't what I'd call "spicy" but very good non the less. We also had a place open that is more Argentina and Venezuelan food thats incredible! So we are an city finally catching up with those more large cities from a cuisine standpoint.

    Forgive the typos .. I'm tired and off to bed my friend!

    Yeah they try to do that, but I just think it's the style of Mexican food it is that I'm just not too keen about.
    I prefer Southwestern Style Mexican food, and I love my sauce very hot in spice; but Hatch Green Chili's have a way of making you sweat from the heat without your tongue burning; and the flavors so good it's hard to stop eating, even if your eyes are tearing up from the spices. When you ask for "special sauces" here, most restaurants just add a bunch of hot peppers to the existing sauce. HOWEVER, when you make it up here again, there are a few places that have opened in the Carmel / Fishers area that are incredible, and very authentic Mexican food. It's not the same as Southwestern, but I've adjusted to alternatives when as good as 2-3 places that have opened up recently.
