Kainz, that topping on your pizza that looks like spicy beef.. it that the italian style sausage? if so, has it got a bit of an aniseed taste to it?

I've noticed that kind of flavour with PJ's pepperoni before - but it could well have been the spicy beef-looking stuff instead. It has been a while.

I didn't care for it though :/

Our local PJ has the worst rating ever, so bad even places you would get a drunk kebab from get several more stars than them.

Surely standard for PJ?

I'm not a huge fan of any of the big name pizza places but Dominos is at least sometimes edible. Italian base and carefully chosen toppings and you can almost pretend it's not bad pizza

yeah im pretty sure its the beef.. i love it, i think it has some star anise in it
i thought the italian style sausage was thinly cut like pepperoni as it comes on 'the works' pizza i normally order and i hadnt seen it in big beefy chunks like on Kainz pizza

You're probably right, yeah. I like using star anise with beef but in the tiniest of tiny amounts so I can't really taste it - it's good for bringing out the beef flavour though.

I'm probably asking a bit much for a take away pizza really...

No you're not. It's just a shame they are American style pizzas rather than Italian

. I miss my old house near a pub which did wood stove proper pizza eat in or takeaway.

Yeah, true enough. To be honest I've actually tried the local supposedly good pizza places and though they're better they're still not great. I do have extremely high standards for pizza in particular though :s

^^ cheese looks a bit weired and a bit sparse on that one

Takeaway standard in general is pretty dire

, which is a massive shame.

Now I'm getting hungry all over again!

robfosters · 12 Sep 2014 at 21:47

Agree with Cainer. Not enough cheese and the tomato sauce looks too thick and gloopy.

Fuggan · 12 Sep 2014 at 21:55

Yeah it wasn't the best, the place it's from is actually a really nice pizza restaurant but their pizzas don't lend themselves to takeaways that well.

i think the tomato is just dry as there was nothing covering it whilst in the oven

ahh, i thought it was from PJ's, the crust looks very similar

Jesus, is everyone eating bloody pizzas here?! :eek:

Jalfrezi.

Ahhh there he is! Mr Curryandanaan man! The one and only MrMarvelous!

Kainz · 12 Sep 2014 at 22:36

lol Mr Curryandnaan man

FrenchTart · 12 Sep 2014 at 22:39

I really shouldn't be looking at all this junk food. I ate my dinner (a very nice home made Thai fish curry and rice) about 3 hours ago so all the beers and pictures of tasty greasy food are making it tough to just go to bed...

cainer · 12 Sep 2014 at 22:42

looks like PJ's is off the cards for me tonight, last order is in 5 mins (close @ 11pm) and id need to order a 15.5" stuffed crust pizza to make the minimum delivery spend, although ive not eaten today yet im not that hungry.
Domino's is open till 1am though
