Gina said:I'm glad you said that and not me... Just make mine with plain ole' pepperoni, thanks -- or even just plain cheese! Then I'll be happy because I won't have to spend 30 minutes picking disgusting bits of things off my pizza.
Okay, my question for the day: Would you incorporate Disney into your wedding at all? What elements? Go all out and get married at Disney, or just have a Mickey caketopper?
I'm sorry, but that just isn't real pizza . That's just flatbread with stuff thrown on top; which is okay if that's what you want. We actually have two places owned by a Sicilian family. Real pizzqa starts with the dough. Thin, crispy on the outside, moist and chewy on the inside. Maybe put some sauce (a little sauce) on it, thin sliced tomatos, some sliced olives, italian sausage, maybe some pepperoni (too much stuff on it and it's not a pizza anymore). For cheese some provolone, mozzarella, feta, maybe throw on some fresh parmesan or romano when it's done. Thatsa good pizza!!!vital said:We have a local pizza place here, Soulshine Pizza, that makes some strange but good pizza! There's the White Album-white sauce, chicken, cheese. Then there's the Rastafarian-jerk chicken, pinapple, cheese, and some other things I don't remember right now. My fav is the Magic Mushroom. It has about 5 different types of mushrooms and cheeses. Awesome!
And of course your chain stores, but we also have the Mellow Mushroom pizza chain. I know there's one in Destin, but I don't know if they have them up north. If you find one, go, it's great!
I think the two go hand in hand. Pizza is a very romantic food.tawasdave said:yea know...this is kinda sad...how did we get from romance to pizza?

mickeysbestfriend said:When I was in Italy a few years back I got a chance to eat REAL pizza. It is nothing like what we have here. Truth is, what we laughingly refer to here as Italian food is nothing like what you will find there and everything I tried there was amazing...
The original pizza was called the Margarita named after Queen Marguerite of Italy. It simply had cheese, tomatoes and oregano on it.
Gina said:That's too funny... I'm 100% Sicilian, and I about starve to death every time we go to Italy. LOL One time my brother and I thought we could just order pizza plain and maybe escape the weirdness, but "plain" in Italy means just like you said -- olive oil, cheese, tomatoes. I grew up with this stuff, but just can't stand a whole lot of it. Guess I'm too Americanized.

Been through the big wedding once already. Unless it is something my future bride wants I am just doing a very simple wedding. I would rather spend the money for a wedding on a honeymoon, and maybe a home or savings.sandy5764 said:I have to agree with you on this one, katydidbug1. I just attended a wedding a couple of weeks ago that was HUGE, I'm talking HUGE, HUGE, HUGE. My BF was a driver in the wedding, so we waited around for pictures, went to some local spots for pictures to be taken, etc. What a pain in the butt!! I swore right there that when I get married it will be a small, intimate affair. All I want there are my parents, sister, nieces, and his parents, siblings, etc. I personally would rather not spend that amount of money on a wedding, but rather spend more on a wonderful, remember for my lifetime honeymoon.
My only exception to the rule about pizza would be Chicago style. Thin crust in a deep pan with layers upon layers of chease, meat, & veggies. Heart Attack in a Pan!!!! So delish though.Gina said:That's too funny... I'm 100% Sicilian, and I about starve to death every time we go to Italy.

Now that's a game I'd like to play. I'll have to store that in the repertoire.Gina said:And who's to say romantic has to equal sultry and exotic? Throwing marshmallows at each other from several feet away can be romantic in a fun and playful way. Whenever you get the marshmallow into the other person's mouth, you earn a kiss. Everybody wins.
