Yes I said it. And Yes that Pizza was DARN GOOD! Yesterday we ordered a couple from a place called Marco's, and it was wonderful.

I made a brick oven and learned to make my own pizza dough, so im pretty picky about pizza from other locations, is marco at least at that level of pizza creation? and where is marcos?

If you have an Aldi's nearby you should definitely pick up one of their pizzas. They're super cheap and personally I like them better than Papa Murphy's, Papa John's, or any of those Papa's pizza. Little Caeser's is pretty great too but my mom is hesitant about buying from them after a few stories in the news about their kitchen...

A sidenote: is Aldi's nationwide?

Marco's is really surprisingly good. Normally I snub My nose at the commercial pizza places (Except Little Caeser's), but Marco's make's a hell of a quality pie for the price. Their cheese bread is great too.

And yes, I believe Aldi's is nationwide. Been shopping there for decades. Their pizzas beat the pants off of any other "cheap" frozen or fresh pizzas.

I don't know how they stay in business. Their prices are ridiculous. When we started shopping there it cut our grocery bill in half, and that's saying a lot considering there's 7 people in my house.

Aldi is a German company ;)
They are pretty much the inventors of the "food discounter" and make a lot of money from their concept. Mostly they only sell goods that are easily sell-able and cut a lot of costs everywhere. That's how they can hold prices down and still make a lot of money.

So that's why they have German chocolates at their stores! Those are the best.

mmmmm. German chocolate is the best. Next to those Brandy chocolates in France.

Are you sure you mean German chocolate, not Swiss? Didn't know that our chocolate is that famous ;) What brands do you have over there?

Ah, those are indeed German brands. I guess when your Dad brought them that means they are not sold in the states? I know that you guys also have "Kinder" chocolate over there, but I never heard of Americans eating Milka :D But yes, that's really good chocolate. I enjoy it a lot more than the Swiss "Lindt" chocolate, which is way more expensive. And in fact I have some Toffifee right here on my desk right now, they are great too :)

I make my own pizza. I make a whole wheat and flax seed crust and put home made pizza sauce, two types of salami, capicollo, chirizo sausage, red pepper, red onion and mozzarella cheese.

It's pretty good.

Where is Marco's cause I just saw a pizza place called Marco's right around where I live. Is there more than one location? If so I'll have to stop in and try it.

I think the best pizza that I've ever had was some Chicago place called Limo's. Toppings were absolutely bizarre (I think one was chicken and waffle?) but surprisingly good, especially for a by-the-slice place. I recommend the spinach and pesto, definitely.

Vincent's Pizza in Pittsburgh. Enough grease for a lifetime and if you find a fly in your soup, you've got the right place. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Umm... Thats not Pizza, that is just warm bread with a topping. No Pizza should EVER be anywhere near grease, fat, oil, butter or any other type of pressed fruit or seed derivatives (Apart from a little olive oil used to make the dough).

This is what good pizza should look like;

I think that I like that one Mall in Chicago the best, the one with all the places to eat on the upper floor. Some of the best food I've ever had. :)

also succeeds, because they have a low profit margain as well, they only make 1 cent form every euro sold. thats then just 1% profit. which for many investors would be too low to invest, yet over a scale of many many sales, its in absolute numbers more than enough money.

I doubt this is a pizza anymore, looks more lik a giant bread roll with pizza increadients on top. xD

But yeah looks great.

and the bets on is a selfmade one, because you can make it how you like it.
