What's Your Drunk Pizza of Choice?

There are all sorts of criteria I have for good pizza, from crust char to cheese-sauce ratios. Good drunk pizza, on the other hand? Something different altogether. What's your drunk slice of choice?

Pizza Madness: Pizza In a Jar

The basic premise is simple. You've all seen pie in a jar, I'm sure. You bake a tiny pie in a jar, seal it, and give it away as gifts. Well ain't one pie as good as any other? What's to stop you from baking a pizza pie in a jar? The ever-creative 1 Fine Cookie wondered the same thing and actually did it. So here you go: pizza in a jar.

First Look: Fire on the Mountain 3, Portland, OR

The Fire on the Mountain chicken wing nano-chain is the perfect example of a Portland institution. When hungry for hot wings, there is no discussion; Fire on the Mountain is the assumed destination. When a third location opened this fall, the prospect of pizza and house-brewed beer caused quite the buzz. A pizza menu which infuses traditional NY-style thin crust pies with eccentric wing ingredients could not hide under a blanket of mediocrity.

A Pizza Snob's Approach To Toppings

As a writer for the people, I often try and suppress my inner pizza snob. I try and pretend that all pies are created equal, and that there is goodness to everything on a crust. Sometimes I even manage to convince myself. After all, if tens of thousands of people enjoy eating buffalo chicken pizza, there's got to be something good about it that I'm missing, right? Well today, I'm letting diplomacy take a little breather and laying out a few of my hard and fast ground rules about pizza toppings.

The Pioneer Woman's Fig-Prosciutto Pizza with Arugula

"My kids refuse to eat anything but pepperoni, but me, I don't like the same pizza topping twice," said Ree Drummond aka The Pioneer Woman last week before her new Food Network show premiered. So when the kids and her husband Ladd, aka Marlboro Man / Captain Forearms, are out of town, she likes to make this fig-prosciutto pizza. You've probably tasted the fig plus prosciutto combo before. It's sweet, salty, and peppery all at once, and a fun way to change up the pepperoni or sausage routine.

Flee The Pizza: Spike Mendelsohn's "We, The Pizza" in Washington D.C. Still No Good

Slice reporter Dave Konstantin pointed out the flaws—namely, dense dough and crusts that were too fat. I figured it'd be worth an update to see if any of the problems have been fixed in the half year that's passed since they first opened.

Pizza + Lasagna = Pizzagna

Pizzagna is just what it sounds like: a few whole, thin-crusted, sauced-to-the-edge bar style pies layered into a casserole dish with extra sauce and cheese, then covered and baked. Why would one want to do this, you might ask?

Sicilian Slice Crawl in Boston

New Yorkers may no more concede that Boston has a lively pizza scene than accept the Red Sox as the greatest team in baseball. Bostonians, of course, don’t care; their city sits squarely on what our Ed Levine has called “the pizza belt”—and from fancy-pants pies to the old-school Pizzeria Regina and Santarpiro’s, there’s plenty of good eating to be had. But what about the Sicilian? While we’ve written about the acclaimed Galleria Umberto before, more than a few commenters (and my own frequent dining companion) claimed that there were better square slices to be had. So on a...
