Popular Post sqwakvfr Posted June 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2023 Does anyone know when and why 1000 Island dressing is sometimes used as sauce on a Pizza. I made the mistake of ordering a chicken pizza from Pizza Company and to my surprise the sauce was 1000 Island Dressing. This was my mistake and I did not read the menu properly. Also, the full list of ingredients on the Grab App is sometimes difficult to read. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted June 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) The Pizza Company is famous for it's absolutely bizarre ingredients. Many do not consider it pizza, at all. And the quality is very low to boot. Best to avoid the junk they create. 1000 island dressing on a pizza is an abomination against Italy.

Popular Post Crossy Posted June 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2023 I can just about cope with pineapple on pizza, but Thousand Island? ???????? I thought it was only on the seafood pizzas (which I don't like anyway) but I will observe carefully when ordering. EDIT It's the Spicy Grilled Chicken that has Thousand Island, I also note that the Cheese and Bacon has the potential abomination of Sour Cream sauce ???? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually switched to the Spicy chicken and got the unpleasant surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post champers Posted June 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2023 Nothing wrong with adjusting a dish to suit local tastes. It happens all over the world. Sausage and/or cheese loaded crusts are another adjustment by the same company. Don't like, don't order. 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lacessit Posted June 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2023 When I was in quarantine in a Thai provincial hospital, their idea of mayonnaise on a ham and salad roll was strawberry jam.

I occasionally make my own pizzas, and they are varied, and one I do like occasionally is a tandoori chicken pizza, complete with onions, a little sliced banana and some sweet mango chutney – – to die for? I first tasted them in a pizza restaurant in Auckland and decided to recreate my own when I came here. Lovely jubbly!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Rice Balls Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 classic new york style cheese does it for me......can tell good cheese too if the pizza is greasy.. and can smell the yeast if is homemade dough.....get a nice flavor if cooked in wood fire oven 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackGats Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Yeah, it's a disgusting dressing. I made a mental note of remembering it so that I can avoid it like the plague in the future, be it at Pizza Company or at Pizza Hut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose Pizza Hut or Pizza Company for ordering your pizza then you should not be surprized. For sure you may as well order Pineapple Pizza there. Did they not include some portions of ketchup in the delivery as they do at KFC ? On the other hand, 1000 Island Dressing is a phantastic dressing, just not suited for everything, not even for all kinds of salads. It is actually my favourite. With mozarella, tomatoes and basilikum it would rather be a Balsamico / Olive Oil dressing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you order, ask them to use regular pizza sauce instead of 1000 island. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recom273 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 The missus would always want to buy Pizza co. when they did "buy one - get one" for a month, now they do "2 fer" every Thursday. I don't mind Pizza co. once a year, but its more like a savory sponge cake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimTripper Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Thais don’t do “sauces” well on foreign food. It’s either the wrong kind or too much, never just right. I guess I can’t blame them, it’s hard to make something when you don’t know how it’s supposed to taste ????????♂️. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several times I've been to a famous multilevel Pizza restaurant (from memory 4 levels) with my uni students in Ho Chi Minh City, VN. All pizza bases are thin and crispy, not over/under cooked, and every pizza has the same medium spicy traditional pizza sauce. Or can order very spicy. Always lots of local nice mix of pizza cheeses, and can order specific / extra cheese. Each level has a specific theme. One level is fruit; one fruit alone: banana, pineapple, orange, apple, strawberry... Or mixed fruits to order. And mango and sticky rice, coconut milk and peanuts. Very delicious and I'll be happy to go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a jar once and spruced it up with vinegar, pepper, lime juice and soy sauce ... that's the only way you could have it on a salad or a compliment dip for chicken or sausage. I've been out with Thais and when the pizzas come they grab a slice and first thing is to smother it in Tomato sauce ( ketchup ) tells you what they think about pizza taste ... they're crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'adjusting a dish to suit local tastes'''' ususally means making it not taste as good as it did when many people thought it was good and they would like to eat it in the country they are now.
