Why Pizza Always Tastes Better At A Restaurant

Soggy bottoms, sour sauce, and tough crusts? Making pizza at home may seem like a good deal, but spending your dough on take out might be more worth it.

What restaurant do you feel makes the best pizza?

[@Lkydo8165]

There's a Pizza Restaurant in an Oklahoma small town called Purcell it's Jo's Pizza... And to me it is 'The Best Pizza" around...

[@chrisdtowsend]

I’m a general manager for Casey’s General Store and I’ll say we have some of the best pizza!!!!

[@chrisdtowsend]

Oooohhh that place is fire! I live in Tulsa

[@truepatriot5945]

The Lock in Port Colborne Ontario is fantastic. I drive about 30 minutes to get pizza from there cause it's worth the drive.

Anything with pineapples

Once you learn to make pizza properly the homemade one will be so much better than anything from the restaurant. #1 toppings does not make great pizza, it all starts with the crust #2 make a quick sauce with canned tomatoes #3 shred your own cheese blend #4 use a baking stone in an oven cranked as high as it'll go #5 go easy on the toppings Follow these rules and you'll make great pizza at home

Agreed

[@clingdawg2229]

Ever since I figured out how to make a rockin' pizza, I haven't like restaurant pizza nearly as much. I don't make any of the amateur make-it-at-home mistakes this video talks about. No soggy bottoms, no sour sauce, no tough crusts.

[@hellhound1389]

I feel the same way no matter which Chicago style you choose (there's more than one)

[@jons.6216]

Always love to have pizza out! My hats off to the ones that get it super right! Like a sign in a neighborhood place once said: "Pizza is like se*! Even when it's bad it's pretty good!" Haha!

[@brianstrawder2417]

I've been making my own pizza for a few years now. I prefer thin crust, but thick crust is ok. I've made both. I've learned that San Marzano tomatoes make a delicious pizza sauce.

[@mrkattm]

My home made pizza is way better then any chain pizza and costs way less. The secert is to use both a pizza steel on top of a pizza stone, cold ferment your dough for at least 1 day more is better, for the sauce use good canned tomatoes blitzed in a bender seasoned with kosher salt and a little sugar, use low moisture cheese and dont over load the pizza with it and finally preheat your oven for 1 hour at 550 before cooking your pie. Do these things and you will never order Papa Johns or Dominos again.

[@bosch9905]

Sure...

[@daveysaturn7232]

what kind of seasonings do you use in the dough? Is it just the salt, sugar, etc?

[@mrkattm]

@@daveysaturn7232 yep just salt but the yeast does a lot of work too

[@Nancy-zk9dj]

550 for an hour? Why?

[@mrkattm]

@@Nancy-zk9dj Because you have it loaded up with a ton of thermo mass, A pizza steel and pizza stones, assuming they are good stones they weigh a good bit and will take a fair amount of time to heat up as will the pizza steel. Depending on your oven and time of year you might get by with a little less time but not much less.

[@andreanecchi5930]

it is obvious that it is better at the restaurant or at least a serious takeaway pizzeria, not like that stuff of dominos or as it is called, in Italy last year the last place opened, closed because no one took pizza from them

Facts

[@daneurope9167]

no person has the ability to taste if a pizza is good or not..pizza has its own fan..

[@markcab2055]

If you really want to make good pizza, buy a Big Kamado Joe and their pizza stone, you can get that oven up to 700+ degrees, that is also the key. Plus with a Kamado Joe you can make all kinds of BBQ.

"You can say Pizza Hut is terrible pizza, but they also sell more pizzas than anybody else." - Jimmy Kimmel. 😋♥️🍕

[@optionout]

At home pizza chefs really need a steel oven stone to replicate true oven heat.

[@jamesleason4004]

Me and my wife like the chef boyardee kits. I'll have to try the dough fermentation thing next time.

@@hellhound1389 🤣

[@daveysaturn7232]

@@hellhound1389 I wonder what his wife's pizza tasted like?

[@IgnoretheButter]

Jack's Pizza is the best

[@theone3129]

Because it's cooked fresh, that's why

[@christopherkelly577]

Never heard "oregano" pronounced like that before 😄 in UK we emphasise the "gan" part of the word, sounds like she is saying "oreggno".

[@brianmoody2549]

I believe a brick oven,is better to cook a pizza.the toppings and sauce,cheese makes a pizza.but the best part is the crust.

[@yokoshemp]

It is better because I did not have to make it. A dearly loved dog long ago knew that on Thursday I'd come home with pizza and a slice was hers. That pizza joint changed their recipe and the dog died years ago... life is not as good.

[@rcsutter]

I've given up on delivery pizza. I'm just setting myself up for disappointment. For whatever reasons it's always lousy. But if I order for pickup, I have much better luck getting good pizza and not spending 30 minutes on the phone with a delivery driver who speaks another language than I, trying to explain where I live. So that's my "secret" nowdays. Go get it. And if you can, eat it right there in your car fresh and hot from the oven. Even Dominoes is good this way.

[@Heidi-Beth]

I'm a saucy girl 😉🍕

[@parallelpinkparakeet]

Nah. There's only one pizza place near me I can think of that cooks better pizza than I do, and that's because I don't have a brick oven.

[@jaidka]

Pineapple pizza is the best

[@kcvriess]

0:01 Pause! Better when fresh and hot out of the oven. ALWAYS. Conclusion, eat pizza in a restaurant or make fresh pizza at home. There, saved myself 11 minutes and 31 seconds of boredom.

[@barrydelaney6748]

I think most pizzas don't have enough sauce on them.

[@JGSMusic]

I never liked crispy pizza. I like my crust as soft as possible. I absolutely hate crunchy and crispy foods. That's just me

[@davemanone3661]

pizza only tastes better at a pizza place, if you don't know what you are doing!

[@hellhound1389]

You got that right. The only places I go to don't have delivery and they specialize in Chicago tavern style pizza. My favorite makes damned good pizza but I mainly go for the Italian beef

[@jngibson24]

I personally like a pizza heavy on the sauce

[@karelsimonis2253]

My home pie always cost much more

[@jocelynharris-fx8ho]

I don't like a lot of cheese. I prefer a tomato pie or Margarita pizza.

[@Vikingsmoke]

There's plenty of crap pizza for sale out there, just make your own.

[@Ootgreet1]

A dedicated amateur who learns the techniques will always outperform chain junk and many local pizzarias. The ONLY restaurant pizza that tastes good is generally the locally owned, non chain places. The problem is that no pizza chain whatsoever knows how to make or bake a good tasting crust. Or they deliberately make total crap. Probably the chain crusts are loaded with preservatives. Almost every chain pizza crust has a chemical flavor and a synthetic odor. Domino's, Donato's, Papa John's, Marco's.... all junk. I recently had a Marco's pizza and asked for a well done crust. The crust was dark brown, almost burned, and slightly bitter.

[@karenharris3183]

they cooked it not me

[@lant7123]

Nope. Pizza always tastes better cold from the fridge the next day. IMO, sauce should always outshine the toppings.

[@zakirstocks9514]

Too much hassle.

[@felinebline7154]

It doesn't. Home is best

[@og-greenmachine8623]

False... I don’t eat at restaurants because their pizza does not taste as good as the one I make it home, Simply with a pizza stone and a spray bottle

[@andreanecchi5930]

Spray bottle wtf

[@hellhound1389]

I agree with the stone but a spray bottle, is that to shoe away the delivery driver after he drops off your pizza 🤣

[@jezus22]

always...? it means that you have no clue how to make pizza
