Went to a place once that cooked their pizza in a wood fired kiln. Not sure I'd do anything counterrevolutionary for it but it's the best I've ever had.
Wait Pizza Hut does not cook cook their pizza on a kiln? What do they use a regular oven? What's the point of a pizza place like that.
Pizza Hut, while delicious to my brainwashed Burgeroid tastebuds, is barely food. It's all of the most extremely processed cheese, sugar bread, etc. shoved into big industrial ovens
Almost all American bread is sweet if you aren't from the US. Even the fucking sourdough.
Also there are a lot of processed foods that explicitly use sugar as a filler
They have a conveyor belt kinda deal that goes through a super hot oven so it's idiot proof
Well as long as it's super hot (like, over 400 °C) I give it the :anti-italian-action: seal of approval.
My newest job is hurling pizzas at a sorta higher scale place. Not all the way to the top but we make all our shit from scratch and all that. First pizza job I've had and honestly, kinda digging it. It's a small menu (outside of the pizza menu which is growing out of control, chef is a bit neurotic and since all the pizzas get ordered he won't put some on the chopping block) and everything is simple as hell. It's breezy
It sounds like a pizza place alright.
I once read somewhere that the communist party of the soviet union liked pizza and hamburgers and wanted to open more fast food restaurants because of how industrial they were to make.
Cooking is fine and I'd love to be able to make a living doing it. Not having to make a meal is either a reasonable luxury or a quick convenience. Just pay me good and dona workplace democracy and I'll make all the pizzas you can handle
Convection oven I think now, but IIRC back in the day they used what was literally just a giant toaster.
I'm going with Godfathers Pizza, if Herman Cain hadn't gutted the place. It's just a cooler premise than domino's or whatever.
They were actually really big in the mid-80s, found this gem on their wiki:
It was reported to be the fifth largest pizza chain in the United States at the time, down from third place in 1985.[5][6] About this time, many Godfather's locations in the St. Louis area were bought out by Pantera's Pizza.[7] Under Cain's leadership, Godfather's closed approximately 200 restaurants and eliminated several thousand jobs, and by doing so returned to profitability
They were "classy" according to my dad because they had green olives as an option for pizza in the podunk town he grew up in.
Gonna start a chain called "Gramsci's" It'll sell a super thin crust pizza with everything called the "superstructure"
As someone who's job is regularly turning pizza in a stone oven, I would hate this so much
Actually disaster strikes from not leaving the base alone longer if it's thin and oiled high
I forgot that Jet's existed and just had a ratatouille moment where glimpses of forgotten memories of my childhood returned to me
We don't really have much pizza chain penetration here. I can't think of the last time I had pizza hut and have never had dominoes. We have a crazy amount of local hole in the walls that are all more or less the same and they pretty much dominate the pizza market
There's a pizzeria in Pula, Croatia, called Pizzeria Jupiter and its the best pizza I've ever had in my life. I swear the pizzas they make their are descended from heaven or some shit, entirely worth dissolving the most succesful socialist project in history for
I tried finding Pizza places in Langley, West Virginia but it looks like there aren't many businesses in Langley proper. Instead most of the businesses are in McLean, which is part of the same suburban sprawl that Langley is a part of, they're basically the same town. So I'm going with whatever pizza they sell at the Langley Mart gas station, one of the few businesses in Langley.
This random GDR eatery I saw while skimming through a west German documentary about the city of Leipzig from 1983.
Apparently the GDR had a pizza-like dish called Krusta from at the latest 1976, with different ingredients than the Italian one. In the 1980s, there were actual Pizzerie and by 1988 a pizzeria chain called Pizza Buffet had 42 stores across the country, alongside the small eateries offering the dish, as seen above.
Partially off topic, but the GDR also had Europe's third Japanese restaurant in the Thüringen town of Suhl since 1966, which even won some international recognition from the Japanese state for its high quality.
Yes, the oldest Japanese Restaurant in Europe seems to be Takara (Paris, France), which opened in 1958.
Mind you, out of the almost 4 million Japanese people living abroad, about 3 million 400 thousand live in either Brazil or the USA, while Europe put together has only about 200 thousand. Most of the latter also came in the 1980s with the real estate boom and Japan exporting capital abroad, which spawned things like Düsseldorf's Japanese community.
Yeah, here in Germany it's mostly Vietnamese people, but when I lived in Italy it was Chinese people.
Japan was way less touched by WW2 (and the preceding period) than say China was, despite the events of 1945, and also got massive development aid from the US + did state capitalism to create a high tech industry, which made Japan the only country developing faster than the USSR in the cold war. Also, despite their sinophobic government, Japan maintained relations with countries like North Vietnam and supposedly also had some of the less openly exploitative trade deals with the GDR in the cold war.
On the other hand, Japan was pretty active in imperialism (still is, in countries like... Vietnam) and working there or for a japanese company is often like living hell. Though Japan's imperialism is not as potent as it was in the 1980s, as landlords crashed their economy and the companies, despite their technological edge, lost relevance in many ways.
