Premade crust, pizza dough ball that you form into a crust, or homemade crust?

 

Dough from scratch, roll out onto pizza stone, prebake for 5-8 minutes (insures crispy crust), then let cool a bit...start the toppings pile up.  🙂

I love seeing everyone’s gardens. Here is my back yard - I may be drinking wine 

 

Beautiful lush yard/garden.  Looks warm and sunny too!

We've yet to find our go to pizza place on Amelia Island.  You know, that place that you automatically call when you can't figure out what to do for dinner.  Had a pepperoni and mushroom pie (my "standard" order) from a place called Townie's Pizzeria that was good.  They get high ratings.  The Harris Teeter grocery store that is 2 minutes from our house also makes surprisingly good pizza.

If all we do on Cruise Critic is look at pictures of pizzas I will be perfectly happy.

Mmmmmmm.  That would make a good breakfast right now.

I love left over pizza for breakfast. The problem is that there is rarely any left over.

Thanks Pat.

I used to like that also...but tend to freeze the last couple of pieces to heat up another day for lunch.  😉

Then you aren't ordering enough to begin with. 😁  A medium is usually plenty for my wife and I, sometimes with a piece or 2 leftover.  I order a large though for breakfast/lunch leftovers.

Sorry to hear Sarah has this darn virus, hopefully she will only have a mild bout with it.  In our prayers.

Happy to hear you are scheduled for your first jab😍

Thank you Debbie.x

New topic for this thread...pizza.  What's your favorite flavor of pizza Lenny?  I assume with your Brooklyn background that you prefer NY style??

I love a thin crust pizza with spinach and mushrooms.   Eric loves pizza with a little ground meat, peppers and onions.

I have zero experience ordering medium sized pizzas.☺

Pizza stone definitely needed.  I bought one about 15 yrs ago and have used countless times.

Order?  I haven't ordered a pizza in many years.  😉  Bucky won't eat anything but my homemade pizza.  His "order" is to ask me if I would make a pizza for him...which his nice wife obliges with pleasure.  Though he is in charge of making sure the pizza chef has her wine during the process.  😄

Impressive riding and impressive droning (is that a verb??).  And an impressive amount of cones!  That course looks very challenging.  I have this image of you guys sadistically rubbing your hands together trying to figure out how you can make the course more difficult.  😈

This course is the one we will use for the Master and Expert Class.  There will be another pattern setup for Novice Class. We have about 80 riders signed up for next weekend. We are starting setup next Tuesday/Wednesday. Practice will be Thursday/Friday. Competition is Saturday. Two timed runs. There will also be a Challenge Ride, Slow Ride, and Team Slow Ride. The Challenge Ride will be through a short course that is supposed to be unseen and not practicing for time. 
 

The location Bruce Rossmeyer Daytona Harley-Davidson, Ormond Beach.

Eric likes to reheat his pizza stovetop in a frying pan.  It is good but I love cold leftover pizza too!

I love..love spinach on my pizza.  Also do broccoli bits sometimes, that I steam ahead of time.

 

Gosh I  never a make a pizza without mushrooms.🤗  My preference is thick cut up fresh baby Portobellos. 

 

Most of the time I order a thick slice of pepperoni from the deli ahead of time, then I dice it up in small pieces, which is easier to eat, still gives it flavor, and less greasy. 

 

Indeed always onions as well...but peppers???  😜 Ugg....can't stand the things.  Bucky will most times dice up some Jalapenos, then sprinkle on top of this own slice after it's baked.

Is this an "event" with food, booths, or other things that might make it interesting to watch, or is it more just cones and riders in a parking lot.  Could be something interesting for a 2 hour drive, unless it's not really intended for spectators.

I am constantly worried I might drop and smash my old tired and true pizza stone.  Have had that one for 45 years.  It's a little worn around the edges, but still works beautifully!  At least I was able to get that out of the divorce of the first husband.  😉

I'm drooling ....

[bobmacliberty]

I'm a fan of buffalo chicken pizza.  There's a local chain in the Cincinnati area called Dewey's that makes one called Ryan's Inferno.  I also like the Pies and Pints Steak and Mushroom pizza, for those familiar with Pies and Pints.  They have a good selection of specialty pizzas AND a good selection of draft beer.  Pizza and beer go hand in hand.

Interesting!  Sounds good that way as well! 

 

I put my defrosted left over pizza slices in the little toaster oven.  Great for a quick lunch.  🙂

Properly seasoned by now. 👍
