Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - offseason part III

[njdevils1982]

You're not wrong.

Now I'm going to piss everybody off and say that sauerkraut on pizza is delicious.

as long as you accept that "cheese pizza" is not pizza.

and who are the idiots at the schools on pizza day giving the kids the option of zero toppings. some educators, pfft.

 

[JimEIV]

I used to go to the pizza places mostly for mussels. Man, I haven't had one those round tins of muddeldy in hot red sauce with loaf of Italian bread in a very long time.... probably since I left Paterson in 2000

 

[Emperoreddy]

Ahh we talking about Pizza again. The better part of our cycles

 

[JimEIV]

I don't know about the "safe neighborhood" part but everything else, yeah.



This cool too if you have a couple of minutes

Ah, the old rectangle of "pizza" with a little bit of tomato sauce and burnt cheese.

That was good up until high school when we could get cheesy garlic bread every day in the fried foods line.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

New Haven is seriously overrated.

Look at this matzah cracker, does this look good to anyone? This pic is from my phone

It's burt matzah. The wine in a plastic cup was good though.

That looks like a Tombstone pizza.

in high school us in the know would hit up the bakery at lunch and pick out a fresh bun and order some provolone by weight on top... mustard was free

My friend growing up used get a loaf of Italian bread, a jar of those pickled pepperoncini peppers and pound block of provolone from my grandmother's store for lunch every day. He didn't make a sandwich, he eat each part individually like some kind of ghetto charcuterie board....


Might be the most bizarre lunch I've ever seen

no boxed crap

how many wheels did the bus he got on have?

He was a little strange. Definitely not the brightest bulb but a wonderful human...Skinny, tall, tough mean bastard. He was a mason that had hands like rocks from laying block from 16 years old. Good man that left us too soon. That damn cancer is a mother f***er....but when it happens before you hit 50 that really sucks. Maybe 2 packs a day of Marlboro reds wasn't the best idea.

I drive WAY too fast to worry about smoking.

You can always bring the entire board back together with a pizza discussion.

The beauty of this state is you can find incredible pizza just down the road in almost any town. And then when you go to the next town, you can probably find an even better slice than the last one.

There are for sure many styles of pizza around the country, New Haven's "apizza" being one of them. But the pseudo-Italian "a-beetz" pronunciation is certainly cringe. I grew up with all of that Napolitano-influenced words and slang and now I realize almost nobody in Italy speaks Neapolitan anymore and would be shocked at these terms.

 

[MVP Zacha]

I never had deep dish in Chicago....I would like to try it. I had deep dish and it's pretty good.... it's just not pizza. It's a casserole. There's a few things I want try in Chicago though like an Italian beef sandwich.

I get to Chicago a few times a month and the Italian beef sandwich is delicious. You can actually have Portillo's shipped and Lou Malnati's pizza as well. Believe it or not the packages are nearly as good as getting them in Chicago.

You Jersey boys are so stereotypical.

Meh...I keep hearing over and over "nobody in Italy..." Does that, says that, eats that...A 1/4 of their damn population left and end up right here.

Yeah nobody in Italy does that because they all left and ended up in New Jersey and New York.

 

[Darkauron]

I just had pizza last night. It was amazing and it was a great choice
