Don't ever order a "sausage pizza" in Chicago, UNLESS you say -- I want sliced Italian sausage. Otherwise they use that crap looking turd sausage. No matter where you order it from, just tell them you want sliced Italian sausage, and they'll do it, and THEN your pizza will taste like it's supposed too.

 

I have to admit, however, I have never tried anchovies on my pizza...I do like ranch dressing with my pizza, though.

 

Wrong. Oh how I miss real sausage on a pizza.

How is that wrong? If you want *REAL* sausage pizza, you do what I said, and then you get it. I think your joke went over my head. :/

The real sausage is what I ate in Chicago for 35 years, not the sliced stuff that is available anywhere. The true Chicago sausage blend, with the fennel, is almost unheard of anywhere else.

Tex is 100% correct.

Sliced sausage isn't Chicago-style sausage pizza (not that Italian sausage in and of itself isn't wonderful, it is). It's supposed to be the "turd sausage", with the carraway seeds and all the incredible spices. If that doesn't taste right to you, you are going to the wrong pizza joints.

Yes, that's almost impossible to get now unless you go to one of the hole in the wall Italian mafioso type places. They do exist, I'm just not saying where.

Actually that's not what Tex is talking about, he clarified. The stuff you are eating now is NOT the way it's supposed to be made, at all. It's cheap crap.

Again, the man is spot on. And why not, he was there when Chicago pizza was invented.

I'm also not a big fan of sausage pizza so I don't really care about any of this, I mean, it's ok, but my favorite was always pepperoni.

Those are the only places worth going to, otherwise why bother when you are in Chicago?

 

Mafioso??

I don't know what you're talking about. The Mafia doesn't exist. Neither does my email address.

I'm certainly not talking about the nasty stuff that passes for sausage at the chains andeverywhere else in the country. Real Chicago sausage is the only thing, and I miss it dearly.

NM, I fixed it, and you sir, may feel free to die in a fire now.

Exactly. There is no comparison between a true Chicago style sausage, and the sausage that is available nationwide from any chain. That stuff is too bland. The special seasoning blend and appearance is totally different. If it is uniform in shape, texture, and color, it is the wrong stuff. If it is hand shaped from a bulk mix, it is the correct stuff. And the real Chicago sausage.

 

Jim, do you have a recipe? That would be worth mixing up.

Im a fan of the entire sausage layer like at Ginos as well.

I've never tried to approximate Chicago sausage for fear of suffering an Icarus-like fate and flying too close to the sun in a foolhardy quest to recreate the Food of the Gods.

Officially very hungry now.

Who asked you California boy

I see that pineapple wasn't one of the options on there.

 

I love me some pineapple.

 

EDIT: And then I see that knightni didn't want any. That's not fair.
