What Does Pizza Company Use For Cheese?

American pizza

Italian pizza

Again if you like that crap pizza in Italia, just say so - heaps of us don't!!!

you sound like a broken record; with all due respect unless you qualify your opinion with more detailed knowledge and not just a blanket insult (crap) your posts ain't worth reading. At least UG peppers his posts with the occasional amusing line

Try maria pizza on Silom close to holidayin hotel the best opizza in town

I've had plenty of Italian made pizzas right here in Thailand and none were anything but mediocre.

When I was a child, I used to make my own "pizzas" with English muffins and tomato sauce. Seems like they would win prestigious awards in Italy. I could be their greatest pizza chef!

are you aware that Thais like to pour huge amount of tomato ketchup on their electrical oven baked spongy crust? If that's the staring point of on how you judge pizza, how worth is the rest of your opinion? Also, I haven't mentioned American contribution to pizza, chains like Pizza Hut, Domino etc.... you don't want us to go there, do ya?

[britmaveric]

^yeah the ketchup bit I will never understand.

[Ulysses G.]

What do Thais have to do with anything? The truth is that all pizza chains suck, but they are still better than any Italian pizza joint in the Kingdom.

Now that we are all in agreement, can we go back to the great mozzarella cheese served at the Pizza Company??

This is like the Middle East; No agreements.

anyway this "pizza" thing is just the tip of an iceberg (no, not the lettuce), the way the western food is presented sometime it really make someone believe it must to be delicious, the problem is that 90% of the times the food, especially the cakes, it's so disappointing, tasteless, chewy like a gum or really with a weird taste, i am glad that more and more places are bringing in the "European Standards" in fact of food taste...

[Ulysses G.]

You are right, but Thais are finally starting to appreciate good Western food and Western restaurants are getting better and better in the Kingdom. The trendy Thai area in Chiang Mai now has lots of good Western bakeries and restaurants and prices are very reasonable.

well, you base your negative opinion of Italian pizza on your experience in Thailand 555 priceless - So exposing your warped logic for all to see, <deleted> has electrical oven spongy crust in Thailand (USA & OZ too) got anything to do with pizza? You know the saying? when in a hole stop digging

[toptuan]

Some are ok, not on an European level of course, but way better than from PC or PH. Guess these junk food chains tailor make them for local tastes after deep research. I have heard from places in the sticks where they use mayonnaises instead cheese.

Exactly. Every pizza I've had in Thailand (especially the chain outlets) feature a kind of sweet mayonnaise in place of the cheese. Gag.

On the whole, Thais simply don't like the taste of cheese, so all pizzas are modified to suit Thai tastes. Kinda like Americans drench all Chinese food in sweet and sour sauces.

The make some poster's ideas more clear, this link could be useful.

My good buddy britmaveric has excellent taste in food and he says Italian pizza bites - as does everyone I've ever met who has been there. It sucks here too, so it probably sucks pretty much everywhere.

Italian pizza (made in Italy) is made on extremely thin crust and, IMO, tasteless. America is where the consumable pizza was invented. My opinion is not based solely upon the pizzas that I have enjoyed in Thailand (mostly American in style), but based upon what I have enjoyed in America and in Thailand. There are few restaurants here in Chiang Mai that create the work of art known as the American pizza. But those restaurants that do, produce a product that is light-years ahead of anything that can be created in Italy.

[britmaveric]

^Cheers, seems Venty is in the know too. Plenty to like about Italia's food, but unfortunately Pizza is not one of them.

I agree wholeheartedly. Here, a local high-end restaurant sent their Thai cook to Italy for authentic training in pizza-making. The result: yuck. Paper-thin crust and tasteless, as the poster described. It took me back to my college days of backpacking all over Italy, looking for the perfect pizza--which I never found. In actuality, I was looking for something I had back home in the States (very cheesy, thick toppings of fresh mushrooms, chives, onions, pepperoni, etc.). Never found it in ol' Italia.

[angiud]

Sure, and drinking an ol'good Bud Light

[surayu]

look, here you are talking about something that is clearly an extra-terrestrial element, as i don't think it will be a human race anymore in just a "light year", how's life in your U.F.O. ? you know, i am never been into one, do you have cheese there too?

Well that's life, maybe he was too busy thinking about kanoms rather then concentrate on how to learn new skills, in BKK there is a place where they hired a master pizza chef from Italy to teach the thai staff and also check the environment in which the pizza base was made (ingredients, temperatures, humidity, etc...) results: they make a great pizza!

If you are accustomised to your local food, well that's just normal, however when i see all those ingredients just mixed up all together on top of the pizza make my stomach revolt itself, same as using ketchup, mayonnaise, durian....thanks but no thanks, i am going for the burma's sandwiches...

there we have it, you base your opinion on somebody else perception, without having experienced it your self, and also on your experience in Thailand. How credible your opinion is? zilch from now on we'll take your opinion on pizza and all food related topics with all the respect it deserves conversely, American electrical oven baked spongy & fried crust is yucky (even if it's not related to pizza), it's disgusting there and pretty much everywhere else. Every body says it, unfortunately I've experience it and it's worldwide laughing stock. Full stop

[Ulysses G.]

Anyone who thinks that Italian pizza is better than American pizza has no credibility to begin with. Were your tastebuds removed at birth?

^I think so UG. BTW pizza in UK is even more dire than thailand.

[Ulysses G.]

That is why these guys think that it is so good in Italy!

to make a comparison between two things, one must try them first, you haven't! Also it's crystal clear, from you generic and personal comments that you don't have any knowledge nor expertise on how your NY baked spongy crust is made, let alone Italian pizza, which by your admission you never tasted. I called you on Melbourne pizza but you conveniently choose not to respond. So, what gives? Come clean, do tell us of your psychological trauma, it's the first step in the healing process

[Ulysses G.]

you sound like a broken record

Look who's taking!

[surayu]

some true american pizzas, now i am not sure if they share the same cheese as the ones of the "PC", they are also probably eaten as a burmese sandwich(joined together) by many Gourmets around the world

[britmaveric]

Hmmm Italian pizza?

[mauGR1]

Ok U.G. enjoy the pizza as you like,it s a matter of taste after all ,back to the topic,it seems there might be anything but cheese in it.

there are scams on the quality of food in Italy and EU too,where the control is supposed to be strict,so you can imagine..

personally i find the Australian stuff ,which has been invading the market,not comparable to EU good cheeses, now available in more and more shops at a price just little more expensive than the country of origin.

(You can help the EU economy too,while you thrash away your pension here in Los)
