Arnold,

Sal's in Dallas rules. I have to eat there everytime I visit that god forsaken town. The funny thing is, I am usually only there for Tx/Ou and I ALWAYS run into the same TX and OU fans right after the game.
 
In Dallas, there's a little hole in the wall called Divino's on Gaston just east of Washington. They have the best pizza I've ever had. Carmine's and Sal's are both also very good.
 
Horn Dawg-
I agree with you on Satan's. That pizza is not only good, but it will stop a hangover DEAD in it's tracks. It's pretty damn good after the bars close....
 
"Supreme"...they call it "Jeno's Supreme".

In order, my top three favorites are:

#1 Jeno's Supreme
#2 Jeno's Pepperoni & Sausage
#3 Jeno's Pepperoni
 
can't remember what the real name of that place is - Hoek's? maybe?

if you say Satan's everyone understands exactly what you're talking about.
 
scally/Drooley -

I used to live a block away from the Amtrak station - Rocky's is the ****. They make a lemon gorgonzola chicken that is ******* incredible.

When did the Beer Mug go down? I got hammered on $5 dollar all you can drink beer night almost a year ago (in fact, it was the day we lost to Temple in the tourney)
 
I'll second that, Texas Horn. Austin Pizza Garden is the best pizza that I've had anywhere in a long time. Certainly the best in Austin that I've tried. There is no close second.
 
OK, now I've got it. I like Jeno's Pepperoni, Jeno's Pepperonie & Sausage and Totino's Supreme.

And Jeno's Sausage.
 
Oops...not in that order. In order, I like:

#1 Jeno's Supreme
#2 Totino's Sausage & Pepperoni
#3 Jeno's Pepperoni
#4 Jeno's Sausage
 
In Austin, Mangia if sober, Crack pizza if drunk. We call Hoek's crack pizza, it beats the crap out of Roppollo's.

In Dallas, Louie's is the best. Got to love beer in a can. It reminds me of the Back 40. I think the people that own Louie's also own the Loon. Sal's is second, with bonus points for entertainment value due to it being next door to a gay bar called "The Fraternity House". Campisi's is a good stand by.
 
Wait a minute, wait a minute, I don't like Totino's sausage so how could I like Totino's Pepperoni & Sausage better than Jeno's Pepperoni & Sausage?

Ohhh, I see, I accidentally listed "Totino's Pepperoni & Sausage" when I meant to put "Jeno's Pepperoni & Sausage".

So here's the revised list:

#1 Jeno's Supreme
#2 Jeno's Pepperoni & Sausage
#3 Jeno's Pepperoni
 
Damn, I left off the Jeno's Sausage again (#4).

So once and for all, the list of my favorite pizzas, in order is as follows:

#1 Jeno's Supreme
#2 Jeno's Pepperoni & Sausage
#3 Jeno's Pepperoni
#4 Jeno's Sausage
 
Oh, I see...I had "Jeno's Supreme" in place of "Totino's Supreme" . Jeno's doesn't have a "Supreme" or I would probably like theirs better. It would be my favorite pizza of all.

That's too bad, because since Jeno's doesn't have a "Supreme" pizza, Totino's got to the top of my list, even though Jeno's has my second, third and fourth favorite pizzas. Too bad for Jeno's that they don't make a "Supreme" pizza. At least, I don't think they do.

Wait a minute, almost everybody makes a "Supreme" pizza, why wouldn't Jeno's make one? They make pepperoni, sausage, pepperonie & sausage and veggie (I don't care for the veggie).

I better run out to the Kroger frozen food section and check to see if Jeno's makes a "Supreme" just to be sure.
 
John's Pizzaria in NYC is the best I've had anywhere. Some of the other pizza I've had in NYC has been very good also.

My favorite non-NY pizza is Fuzzy's in Houston. Delicious.
 
Yep, sure enough, Jeno's has a Supreme pizza!

And when I saw all those boxes of Jeno's AND Totino's in the Kroger frozen food department, I couldn't remember WTF I like best. So I bought a Jeno's Supreme pizza, A Jeno's Pepperoni pizza, a Jeno's Sausage pizza and a Jeno's Sausage & Pepperonie pizza.

I also bought a Totino's Supreme pizza, a Totino's Pepperoni pizza and a Totino's Sausage & Pepperonie pizza. I didn't buy a Totino's Sausage pizza because I don't like their sausage. And I didn't by a Jeno's Veggie pizza or a Totino's Veggie pizza because I don't like veggie pizzas, I don't care who makes 'em.

I'm going to eat one each night until I can remember which one is my first favorite, my second favorite, my third favorite and so on. I'm going to start with whatever one is on top in the freezer, which I think is Totino's Sausage & Pepperonie.

Wait a minute, I don't like Totino's Sausage pizza because of their sausage and I'm starting out with Totino's Suasage & Pepperonie Pizza? Why did I buy that? Because if I don't like Totina's Sausage pizza because of the sausage I probably won't like Totino's Sausage & Pepperonie... because it's half sausage and I don't like their sausage.

I think I'll start off with the Jeno's Pepperoni pizza because I know I like that one a lot. Then, after I've had the Jeno's Pepperoni pizza, I'll go back to Kroger and see if I can exchange the Totino's Sausage & Pepperoni pizza for my favorite pizza...which I don't know yet.

Wait a minute, how can I tell Kroger which pizza I want to trade the Totino's Sausage & Pepperonie pizza for if I want to trade it for my favorite pizza when I won't know which is my favorite pizza until I try all of the Jeno's pizzas and the Totino's pizzas I bought?

I think I left the receipt in the bag too...which I threw out already.
 
Well, I've got good news and I've got bad news.

The bad news is the Jeno's Pepperoni pizza, the first one I wanted to sample to try to figure out which pizzas are my favorites, in order, of course; it was not very good.

They must have changed it somehow because it wasn't any where near as good as I had remembered it. I don't see how Jeno's Pepperoni pizza could have ever made my top four, let alone been my favorite, if it has always been this unsatisfactory.

The crust was...hard, the sauce, I don't think they put enough sauce on it and what they did tasted like ketchup more than pizza sauce. The cheese was bland and tasteless and there were just a few pieces scattered over the top, like the guy at the pizza factory who makes them realized that he wasn't supposed to put cheese on my pizza after he already started putting some cheese on my pizza.

The most dissapointing part was the pepperoni. It was little diced cubes of...I don't know what it was but it sure didn't taste like pepperoni. Isn't pepperoni supposed to be round?

Maybe I just got a bad one, I don't know. They say you shouldn't buy an American car that was made on a Monday or a Friday because all the autoworkers are hung-over on Monday and not paying attention on Fridays because it's payday and all they want to do is get drunk. Maybe my Totino's Pepperoni pizza was made on a Monday or a Friday. I mean Jeno's Pepperoni pizza.

Hey, I know, when I take back the Totino's Sausage & Pepperonie pizza with the sausage I don't like, I'll trade it for another Jeno's Pepperoni and maybe it will be better than the one I just ate. I wonder if they have dates on the boxes? I better check on the next one.

Oh, the good news is I found my receipt for the Totino's Sausage & Pepperonie pizza. It was in the trash can next to the coffee grinds.
 
This just keeps getting worse and worse.

I tried exchanged the Totino's Sausage & Pepperonie Pizza for the Jeno's Peperoni Pizza, because like I said, I found the receipt for the Totino's Sausage & Pepperonie pizza, but guess what? Kroger's was out of Jeno's Pepperoni pizza!

Now I don't know if Jeno's Pepperoni pizza is no good or if I just got one made on a Monday or a Friday by a drunk guy. Or a guy who only wanted to get drunk.

I guess it must be that I got a Jeno's Pepperoni pizza that was made on a Monday or Friday, because they sure are selling like hotcakes at Kroger. My guess is that the Jeno's Pepperoni pizza that I bought was made on a Friday because the way the cheese was put on it, it didn't seem like it would have been done by someone who was hungover, but more like it was done by someone in a hurry. As if the worker who made my Jeno's Pepperoni pizza was in a hurry to get drunk and just kinda threw some cheese on it to get it over with.

Wait a minute, actually that sounds more how like a Jeno's worker would put cheese on a Jeno's Pepperoni pizza if he was really hungover more than a guy who was in a hurry to get out and get juiced. I would think that if a Jeno's worker was just watching the clock waiting to go out and get drunk he would most likely throw the right amount of cheese on the pizza but he wouldn't smooth it out good like they're supposed to. You know, kinda like how the meat patty on a McDonalds Hamburger is half off the bun.

I watched them make a pizza at Domino's once and the guy poured a measured amount of cheese on the pizza and then worked it around with the palm of his hand in a circular motion, going round and round in a counter clockwise direction until all the cheese was spread evenly. Or maybe he was going clockwise, I can't remember, but it was very evenly disbursed on that pizza when he was done. The cheese, that is.

The Jeno's Pepperoni pizza that I got was more like someone just grabbed all the cheese they could with two fingers and then threw it in the air and watched it land on the Jeno's Pepperoni pizza. Two fingers and a thumb. I can just see the guy now with his head on his forearm, forearm laid on the table and when my Jeno's Pepperoni pizza comes down on the conveyor belt, he grabs a pinch of cheese and throws it in the general direction of my Jeno's Pepperoni pizza. I'll bet he didn't even look up. That son a of a *****!

I'll go back to Kroger tomorrow to see if they got a new shipment of Jeno's Pepperoni pizzas in. I don't want to try the Jeno's Sausage & Pepperoni pizza, Jeno's Supreme pizza , Jeno's Sausage pizza or Totino's Supreme pizza that I bought to determine which is my favorite until I get this Jeno's Pepperoni pizza thing figured out because until I know if it was a Jeno's Pepperoni pizza made on a Monday or a Friday or if it is that Jeno's Pepperoni pizza is not as good as I remembered, I'm just not going to enjoy the Totino's Sausage & Pepperoni pizza, Jeno's Supreme pizza, Jeno's Sausage pizza or Totino's Supreme pizza.

I mean Jeno's Sausage & Pepperonie, 'cause of course, I don't like Totino's Sausage. I mean, I know I don't like Totino's Sausage pizza 'cause I don't like the sausage, but I also don't like Totino's Sausage & Pepperonie becuase I don't like the sausage. That's on Totino's Sausage and Pepperonie pizza.

You know, actually, I could try the Totino's Supreme pizza becuase that's not even the same brand so it's not very likely the same hungover guy who made my Jeno's Pepperoni pizza, the one that wasn't very good, made the Totino's Supreme Pizza I bought. Unless Totino's has Jeno's make their pizzas under some licensing agreement like foriegn beer makers do. Like with Lowenbrau. That's made here in the good ol' US of A, not in Germany.

Hey maybe I should get some beer to go with my Totino's Pepperoni pizza. I mean Totino's Supreme pizza (I'm still upset about the Jeno's Pepperoni pizza thing). And maybe I'll luck out and Kroger will have gotten another shipment of Jeno's Pepperoni pizzas in!

I wonder what would go better with a Totino's Supreme pizza, Lite Beer from Miller or Bud light? But what if they got a new shipment of Jeno's Pepperoni pizzas in? Then which beer will I get? Becasue I don't think the same beer that would go best with a Totino's Supreme pizza would necessarily go best with a Jeno's Pepperoni pizza. And if they have Jeno's Pepperoni pizzas at Kroger when I go to get my beer, I'm going to go with the Jeno's Pepperoni pizza when I get back so I can find out once and for all what's behind the unsatisfactory Jeno's Peppperoni pizza I had the other night.

Maybe I better call Kroger first so I know what I want to do when the get there.
