The worst Pizza you ever ate!!

Ellios (current) frozen pizza slices--not really pizza & they have made them snmaller. Too bad--back in the day Ellios was pretty good. Now it's

Piatza's Pizza 1733 Norton St—Rochester, NY 14609 Can count on them to deliver the WORST PIZZA THERE IS The absolute WORST PIZZA I have ever had. I've had napkins that were thicker than this pizza. the staff is extremely rude, 3 out of 4 times that I have ordered from here the orders have been
wrong. DO NOT EVER ORDER FROM HERE...THEY ARE THE WORST..THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER YOU ARE JUST $$. I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THERE AGAIN...THE STAFF IS SO DUMB THAT THEY ACTUALLY WILL
TELL YOU THAT THE OVENS ARE DIRTY AND DON'T COOK EVENLY.. Oh yeah, they'll be in business for a long time..HAHA

How can you expect a good pizza place where the owners names are Larson, Nordquist and well...you get my drift. I always said if you go to a Pizza place, and the guy behind the counter looks like Danny De Vito, you're bound to expect something good

EXACTLY! I had the same problem living in Appleton, Wisconsin. I always say that guys in pizzerias should look like Sylvester Stallone and speak with an Italian accent. If they have English or Scandinavian names and appearances, watch out!

Have to agree with AndyNYC. Domino's and Pizza Hut are amazingly disgusting. I didn't even know it was possible to make bad pizza till I went to the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. I'm from the Brockton, Mass area where good pizza is everywhere. I mean, even the diviest-looking little bar serves great pies.

So, as a freshman at UMASS, living in the dorms, a bunch of us ordered Domino's pizza, and I was shocked. Inedible. I paid money for THIS?! And it was the first time I had ever had pizza from a chain, LOL.

And Tiki's right about avoiding pizza more than 200 miles from the Atlantic -- except for pizza in Chicago, of course!!

Actually, Domino's is not bad if you order the hand-tossed crust, then when you get it, add oregano and garlic salt and heat it in the oven long enough to crisp it up. Not as good as a real Italian pizzeria, but better than Pizza Hut and Papa John's by a long shot.

I would have to say the worst pizza was from Valentino's in Jonesville, NC, it had too much cheese, too little sauce and too thin of a crust and reallllly greasy!!!!!!!!

I heard a saying once.

"Making pizza is like making love. When it's made right it's wonderfull, and when it's made wrong it's not so bad either."

thee worst pizza I ever ate was from our local Domino,s pizza .Their pizza is so tough and their sauce is to spicy

I've never had any pizza from the chain restruants that was bad, I mean it's not as good as a pizza from a real pizza restruant, but its good for what it is.

Spoken like a true Washingtonian.

Oh, by the way, I completely and totally agree with your line of thinking. Coffee is also very difficult to mess up- Maxwell House and the Coffee you get at one of those little independent Coffee Houses or Espresso stands- SAME THING!!!!

I spent three years in Seattle trying to find Edible Pizza (which by the way shouldn't be made by people named Larson or Nordquist) and ended up being extremely dissapointed time and time again.

Just remember I don't claim that the East Coast has the best Smoked Salmon, please don't even think that Pizza in Seattle is anything close to what you would find here on the east coast- Oh and I've been to the Northlake Tavern and the Pizza there sucked too.

I'm not trying to be mean spirited, I'm just trying to put things in perspective considering I've lived in different parts of the country.

I remember when I told my coworkers in Seattle that I didn't like the local pizza and missed the New York Pizza I grew up with, they replied "pizza is pizza" similar to your response. I replied similarly "coffee is coffee" and they looked at me in aghast! Well, back then to most New Yorkers it was!

You can go your entire life eating mediocre and even crappy pizza, but it just may take you your entire life to find the perfect one.

Speedway stations are offering pizza during the lunch hours. Two slices for 3 bucks looked good on paper. I got two and couldn't get past the first slice. It made school cafeteria, and even Pizza Hut look good. That stuff had no taste and was soggy. Come to think of it, it made McPizza look good.

The worst pizza I've ever had was also one of the best. When I lived in Lincoln Nebraska, yes, Lincoln, Nebraska, they had a pizza parlor called Valentino's which had one of the best pizzas I have expreienced (circa 1962-1970). After they sold the franchise and were more intent on expanison and money became the prime reason for being in business the inevitable happened: lousy pizza with under-cooked dough. Although I have fond memories of this pizza when I became an adult and commenced to travel, I experienced Lombardi's, Totannos, Frank Pepe's, Roy's, Sally's, etc., and found out what real pizza is. In addition, I have never taken to Chicago style pizza, as it seems more to me like a casserole rahter than a pizza. Thin crust pizza rules!!

We have a local son and his parents place that makes some really good food. They do some fantastic subs, pies, cakes and assorted hot foods. They sell the hot foods by the pound. They also do pizzas.

I have and will only bought their pizza 1 time. It was the worst pizza that PP and I have ever eaten.

MikeS.

I would say the worst pizza I have ate was the little Mr P's pizzas!!!! YUCK!!!!!!!!!

Domino's. Greasy crust and half cooked toppings!

Pizza Hut, in Fairfield, Iowa, 1967.
Don't know if there's still a location there. But I think Pizza Hut has come a long way since. While I think it peaked in quality about 10 years ago, I'm not one of its detractors. I've had worse in several places than what is generally served at Pizza Hut. And I'm from Jersey.
The Bear

Some years ago we stopped at a place in Canada. They made me a "pizza", using the term loosely, that was just crust and cheese. NO sauce of any kind. When I asked about sauce I was told that there was ketchup at the end of the counter!

CiCi's pizza sucks, hands down. There is a reason it's so dang cheap for the all-you-can-eat buffet.

I saw someone else mentioned Noble Roman's in Indy... it's a local chain that has all but died out... their pizza wasn't outstanding, but their breadsticks and spicy cheese dip? TO DIE FOR! Every time I go back home to Indy to visit, I always pick some up for lunch one day.

Being a lifelong denizen of the West Coast, both down here and up there, allow me to interpret what they really meant:

"Oh great, not another loud mouthed, pushy, know-it-all former New Yorker telling us how much our pizza sucks and how great theirs is back East, yadda yadda yadda, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. Do these people ever shut the f up about it? Do they actually think we care?" (they don't and we don't)

Ah, but that's what makes them the *cough* lovable rascals they are. That's what makes them irritating former New Yorkers transplanted to the West. Problem is, even *cough* lovable begins to get old after hundreds upon hundreds of them down through the years.

If I was religious I'd say "God bless 'em", but I'm not so I won't.

The worst pizza in the land, probably the world, in my opinion, is Domino's — anywhere, any time.

I've eaten it — just once willingly, other times out of politeness to my host or hostess — and I always had this reaction when I taste a slice: This is truly awful. A travesty against pizza.

Why Domino's persists, even prospers, as a blight on the American food landscape is a question for sociologists and, perhaps, philosophers.

The new Noble Roman's off Wilmington Pike and 675 Centerville Oh. Preformed frozen cardboard crusts taken from a plastic bag. The worst.

I forgot to add "exorcists" to my last post here. - Rusty

Yes, both are true.

Can't deny either.

I guess we are loud mouthed and pushy compared to the very polite, but extremely cold and standoffish Seattlites I encountered while there. However it's still also true that the Pizza there really sucked. That's why I couldn't wait to get the hell out of there after one year.

If the worst pizza you've ever had is from a place like Pizza Hut or Domino's, consider yourself extremely lucky.

I agree with Screenbear about the Pizza Hut in Fairfield, Iowa. When I was there 1n 71-72, it was awful

It was in Germany at an Italian restaurant near my base...they put sliced boiled eggs on the pizza....and it tasted like sulfur....they also put sliced boiled eggs in their lasagna....I found a better place a couple of blocks away..no sliced boiled eggs!

On a trip to Munich, Germany the kids that were travelling with us were craving American food.

So I gave in and we ordered "Pizza" from a local mom and pop shop (The only one who delivered), no PH or or other places.

The kids woofed it down without even tasting it, good thing too. The sauce was a ketchup based atrocity. I ate one piece, excused myself and went down to Der Hofbrau Haus and had some bier and pretzels.

Caparelli's - San Antonio Texas...

"Best Pizze in San Antonio" says the sign...

Best off sticking to Taco's and Enchiladas in San Antonio!

DEEP PAIN PIZZA: MAN 'CUT OFF HIS OWN PENIS IN RESTAURANT'
Mon Apr 23 2007 20:01:12 ET

A man chopped off his penis with a knife in front of horrified diners at a busy restaurant.

Police were called to Zizzi, in The Strand, London, at 9pm on Sunday after reports of a man in possession of a knife.

Sales rep Stuart McMahon, who was eating at the restaurant with his girlfriend, told the SUN:

"This guy came running in then charged into the kitchen, got a massive knife and started waving it about.

"Everyone was screaming and running out as he jumped on a table, dropped his trousers and popped his penis out.

"Then he cut it off. I couldn't believe it."

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said a man aged between 30-40 was the only person injured and that his injuries were self-inflicted.

She said he was taken to a south London hospital where his condition was today described as stable.

I hate when I go to a pizza place and that happens!!!

This would big ignoring that terribly burnt pepperoni pizza that I left in the oven too long I would have to say that most pizza I've had at chain restraunts was terrible. The worst ever would have to have been at Riverview Pizza. I hated that stuff! The crust was too thin and I had to saw it with a plastic butter knife since it was too tough to bite. Never went out to get pizza with the Michelibi's ever again after that...

"Ummm.....I think I'll stick with the veggie pizza, please.....>"

Worst was driving from LA to Padre Island. Van Horn, TX. Night. Oh good, pizza! A little one-off spot. What arrived at the table was as if made by aliens who had only looked at pizza from outer space. The colors were right. It was round, and it had red disks on it. Beyond that, Chef Boyardee would be closer to pizza. I think the chef was a pod-person.

I was amazed my nominee was already mentioned in this thread. The pizza was so ghastly I still remember the date. It was September 1982 and I tried my first and only pizza from a Publix in Miami. I would have been better off asking for paper and plastic and eating both of them instead of the pizza.

Among chains, I could live to a thousand and never understand the popularity of Papa John's. It is miniscule and pathetic. They had an anniversary special a few years ago so I decided to give it one more chance. After a few bites I ended up throwing the pizza away and heading for Burger King.

DiGiorno's reputation is another one that's hard for me to believe. I wouldn't buy that tasteless stuff at 1/4 the price. As someone else posted, a $1 Totinos is far superior. I buy the regular cheese and toss on some fresh mushrooms and green peppers and that's a damn tasty little meal, and only a few hundred calories.

The award for strangest pizza I've ever had goes to a place in Pisa, Italy, of all places. My family and I thought it would be neat to get a pizza in Pisa. Not far from the leaning tower we ordered a pizza. It showed up and all four of us stared in disbelief. It was a plain pizza with a big tomato on top. A whole tomato, just sitting there. Finally I flicked it like a paper football and it rolled around on the pizza, causing all of us to break up in a seizure of laughter as the Italian locals wondered what was so funny.

IMO's or any other St. Louis style pizza for that matter..I'll probably get kicked out of the city for saying that but I think they already want to send me packing because I'm not a fan of baseball.

The worst pizza, let me think. Taste wise, it would have to be "Eastern Style Pizza" (should have been "Middle Eastern Style Pizza") on Touhy Ave in Lincolnwood, IL (N of Chicago). The sauce was bitter, strong, pure tomato pastey. One LG pizza for a family of 4 (including 2 teenaged boys). We left 8 whole pieces in the box (out of 12), 2 half pieces (the boys), 2 pieces almost intact & a couple of semi-chewed orts spit back into the box. The garlic bread was wrapped in Burger King hamburger paper (probably used) & definitely not eaten. Bon Appetit.

you went to Burger King? and that satisfied your craving for good tasting food?!?

call me crazy, but the LAST place I would go after being disappointed with chain food, is it to ANOTHER CHAIN!

Agreed! Saltines with ketchup and Velveeta ...

The worst was back in the High School cafeteria some 30 something years ago. After that, all national chains with the exception of Pizzeria Uno and California Kitchen are horrible. Pizzera Uno the chain is not as good as our best local pizzas but it is credible. California Kitchen actually makes some quite decent pizza. Domino;s Pizza Hut, Papa Gino's Papa Johns, Little Ceasear's all are inedible in my book. Boring crust, usually way to much of it, bland sauce and TOO MUCH CHEESE. Pizza is supposed to have a small amount of quality cheese (preferably mozzarella or parmesan, with perhaps some romano) not a 1/4 inch or more of bland digestive binding stringy gooey cheese. Disgusting.

Well, I live in the SF Bay Area, and as a result I'm not sure I ever had any good pizza... but the worst was a place that a pal of mine was really enthusiastic about. Have you ever had a Uneeda Biscuit? They're kind of like double thick Saltines with no salt. Top it with a little Ragu and some extruded so-called pizza cheese...

As the years went by, I came to realize that my buddy had a serious case of Northern European Palate -- the kind that interprets spice as a sort of moral failing. Oh, well.

Hey, if anyone knows of decent pizza in the Berkeley area, I'd love to hear about it.

Domino's, Pizza Hut, any frozen pizza I have ever had

I haven't been there, but I was just reading Ed Levine's book, Pizza: A Slice of Heaven, today and he gave a very good review to The Cafe at Chez Panisse at 1517 Shattuck Ave in Berkeley.

Craven.Sean, isn't the Cheese Board on Shattuck in Berkeley still making their pizzas? They don't do it everyday, if I recall, and it can sell out, as they have limited varieties, but I loved the pizza when I lived there. I think it had to do with the top quality ingredients they used. Are they still there?

Come to think about it, I lived in San Francisco for a short period of time and I do not ever remember having a decent pizza-anytime!
As a matter of act, with all the Italians living in S. F., I never really had had any decent "Italian Food" either.
However, that said, when you talk about all the other food in San Francisco, FANTASTIC!!!!

Jack Barry/tacchino -- Thanks for the tips. I've had my eye on both spots for years and years, and have kept away from both on grounds of cheapness... Once when I was taking care of my (beloved, wonderful, gifted, etc.) nieces, my sister gave me some rolls from the Cheese Board that were really, really good. Guess I'll have to break down and give 'em a shot the next time I have an excuse to celebrate. But the Cheese Board looks like it could fasten onto my wallet via my tastebuds, which is dangerous.

And while I haven't eaten at Chez Panisse, my mom had a pal who worked there and I used to make a lot of beans with their leftover (drum roll please) prosciutto bones. Mmmm, with white pea beans or canelli beans.

Anyway, I've also heard good things about Zachary's, and I have to confess that Arinell's beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, if not by as wide a margin as I'd like. I agree about the Italian restaurant food in SF...

... but the Italian home cooking? Oh, my my. My first girlfriend had a Calabrian grandmother. Eggplant Parmesan, broccoli rabe with Calabrian sausage... Oh, man, I'm getting the craving. When I was a kid, there was a Sicilian woman on my dad's mail route who would pass on home made pesto back in the early seventies when grandmas from Italy were the only people around who knew about that stuff.

(Attempts to stop slavering at the memories.)

Anyway, I've wound up learning how to make pizza at home that beats anything I can buy around here. I wound up figuring out that a mix of gluten flour with just a bit of pumpernickle for the sourness and lots and lots of kneading gives me the right mix of chewiness and crunchiness if I give it an olive oil rubdown and prebake it. Then I blow everything by putting on too much in the way of toppings. Self discipline, that's the key. Next time I won't overload. Self discipline, that's the ticket.

Craven.Sean:
Try the Cheese Board. I don't remember the pizza being particularly expensive at all, at least for the quality. You could get a slice or a whole pie. I loved the fact that you could get a glass of wine to enjoy with your slice as you sat at one of the little tables outside! How many pizzerias offer that?

Zachary's is o.k., for what it is...if I recall, it is a Northern California version of Chicago deep dish...thick crust, but as I recall, the toppings (particularly vegetarian) were definitely poured on thick. So, you may not care for that style at all.

I'm originally from Miami, home of Burger King. I love Whoppers, no apologies. Thick burgers royally suck. When I get a thick burger I'm always trying to get rid of the damn thing, while all the garbage squirts out of the side. It's more of a disgusting battle than enjoying food. The Whopper is an awesome combo of a thin burger plus great toppings. I just wish it had a wheat bun.

This year I went to Burger King on my birthday.

Call me crazy, I don't care. I despise fancy restaurants. I just took a Hawaiian cruise on NCL and ate every meal in the buffet, even though several of the upscale restaurants came with the cruise and no service charge. If there's a waiter I basically don't want to be there.

The Greater Pittsburgh International Airport is no longer the busy place it was when it had the honor of being a US Airways hub. Two years ago, I was there hungry as a horse after 8PM. Everything was closed except for McDonald's & Sbarros. Sbarros was closing, but had one slice left. I took it. It must have been sitting out all day and was the worst pizza I've ever had a bite off. Hungry as I was, there was no way I could eat it. It did get rid of my hunger; I was happy to eat nothing else the rest of the day. Also, I used to enjoy the occasional Sbarros slice, today there is no way I would eat one even if I had indisputable evidence that it was fresh out of the oven.

You had to remind me. Sbarro's forgot about them. The pizza certainly doesn't improve with age and it is pretty horrible out of the oven. Rather ubiquitos on my Toll Road Service Centers. Sbarro's or McDonalds, what a choice. Salad from McDonalds usually wins.

as far as chains go it would have to be either papa john's or donato's. both are equally dispicable in their own right.

Tie between Gino's (regional chain) and my middle school's. Gino's was mushy, greasy, and floppy, and Barboursville Middle served the frozen square kind, which the cooks never managed to thaw completely. Both nightmares.

Most Domino's, Sbarro (especially those along the turnpikes), and Ledo's (it's been awhile, and I'd be willing to try them again, but of what I remembered, it was pretty crappy) stand out as bad chains. Chuck E. Cheese's is not the same as it used to be.

Smaller places? Xpress in Phoenixville, PA, Gopper's and Brother's in State College, Pino's Pizza in Silverdale, PA (crappy attitude to boot!)...

Domino's! Even when I ordered on-line and specified "Very well done," I got barely cooked pies. When I complained, I was told that they used a conveyor (I shoulda known!) and it must have been out of calibration. I wouldn't know: I surrendered and went back to a local non-chain that's okay, and occasionally make sure nobody sees me as I buy a DiGiorno.

Well, I'm really surprised that noone mentioned pizza from the boardwalks of Wildwood, N.J. back in the 70's. They even had a big sign announcing "WE USE REAL CHEESE!" That pie must've been sitting in the window in front of the shop for a few hrs., if not more. Little did we know, but we were so hungry and wanted something quickly so we ordered a slice figuring even if it's that bad, it didn't cost much anyway. Cost much? It wasn't worth two cents! It tasted totally like a piece of cardboard and freeze dried tomato sauce out of a can if such a thing existed. In fact, I've had freeze dried foods (a stew they used to serve the troops) and it tasted a helluvalot better than what they passed off as Pizza!

On Christmas Eve we had friends drop in and we were all hungry. The only place open was Paolas' Pizza in Sandy, Oregon. The absolute worst, disgusting, lame, no taste pizza. It is family owned and is in 2 locations. The crust tasted like sawdust from a burned down saw mill. Topping was tomato sauce unseasoned out of the can. Artificial cheese. Greasy hamburger, unseasoned. It was BAD!
