Chicago style pizza in Indy area? (Carmel, Washington: location, sold, worth)

Lombardi's:



1. Where's the rest of the cheese?

2. Why are the ingredients (what non-Chicagoans call "toppings") so sparse?

3. Who screwed up and burnt the crust?

4. Why are the ingredients on top of the cheese where they get charred?

5. Who screwed up the crust recipe so it has voids/bubbles in a finished crust?

6. Why is it not cut into squares?

I'll take a Puccini's Razorback over that, any day.

I'm at the mercy of Google Images. This pizza has the right look, but it could use more sausage.

Here's a primer on New York Style pizza. It's a variation of the original which is Neapolitan. New Haven Style closely resembles Neapolitan.

Jeff Varasano's NY Pizza Recipe

Neapolitan and New Haven Style are purposely created with sparse toppings. It allows for a better tasting product without having one ingredient over power another.

BTW Greg Henry. If you dislike Indy so much, why do you even bother to post on this Forum? I've had nothing but trouble with the people in Kansas City (they've got issues with me) and don't like it here at all. Thus, I don't waste my time posting on any of their forums now. Gave that up more than ten years ago.

For a self-annointed pizza snob, you sound pretty ignorant of the variations of pizza.

I admit many variations of the standard, but a standard is yet unmoved by revision. Just as though there may be many variations of jambalaya, the standard is found in Louisiana, the benchmark of pizza is found in Chicago.

Quit crying, and enjoy all that awesome Kansas City BBQ. Be glad you live in a city with a distinct local cuisine.

until you've partaken in a Lombardi's ... you can't say it's bad.

Absolutely true. It's probably quite tasty, as food goes, but in looking at it, I can say that I'd be wishing I was at a Chicago pizza parlor.

Squares?? Do you use a fork and knife too? Whats pizza without crust!

BBQ is about the only decent thing that KC has going for it aside from some good museums. I can do without the uppity attitude of the local populace and also the incredibly ignorant views they have towards people from unfamiliar cultures.

Just found Gino's East frozen pizza sold at Marsh up in Carmel!! It is not as good as eating at the actual resteraunt, but still quite good. I assume other Marsh stores would carry it as well, but I have not checked it out. Def. worth checking it out!
