Pizza from kebab shops etc is generally rank.

Pizza from proper Italian takeaways, which Scotland has an abundance of, is usually of a pretty good standard.

 

Kebab shop pizzas are the main target of my ire tbh. They are fucking stinking. In general though, I have never met a takeaway pizza that I dont view as a huge rip off. I have eaten stuff from Dominos or Pizza Hut that I have enjoyed, but still, look at it and think what a fucking rip off that was. 

I maybe will try some of the local italian establishments and re evaluate my stance but I cant see it changing.

Kebab pizzas are horrific but if you have authentic Italians making it, there's nothing better. Our local Italian does a 3 for 2 in the evenings and 6 euro at lunchtime, same size. I've yet to have better pizza, although we're spoiled here for them. 

[Dunning1874]

Obviously an Italian pizzeria is vastly superior and most you can buy in a supermarket are preferable as well, but your average kebab shop pizza is still far better than the likes of Domino's or Pizza Hut.

Me liking this comment while I happily eat the Pizza Hut I just ordered

Poorly formed opinions thread for this pish.

You should have made clear this was a value for money gripe. It is very obvious that Domino's is an absolute rip off.

It's both. Kebab shop pizzas are shite regardless of price. Most other pizzas I have experienced dont really show themselves as being any better than supermarket pizzas but generally for about 5x the price, hence I said supermarket pizzas are the best way to buy a pizza for home.

The only unknown here is if there are any genuine italian places local to me serving up genuinely good takeaway stuff. I will strive to find out.

If you find yourself in Edinburgh get a La Favorita. Still pricey but you're getting a far superior product to Domino's.

Supermarket pizzas are shite 

You see people creaming themselves over those Asda pizzas - absolutely dreadful stuff. 

I really want to get one of those Ooni pizza ovens. Some of the pizzas I’ve seen folk make using them look incredible.

[Thistle_do_nicely]

there's two kebab/curry places in the space of a two minute walk from each other near me and the difference in the quality of the pizzas they serve up is remarkable. one always managed to burn them to a crisp at the bottom + had an ungodly amount of grease so i gave up getting them from there, the other place serves up a vastly superior, more generously topped pizza and at a lower price to boot

Some supermarket pizzas kind of... burn my gums/tongue (dunno how else to describe it) which was a bit alarming so stopped getting them, always assumed its to do with the preservatives in them or maybe they're just salty as f**k (dr oetker ones were the worst for this)

Prefer eatalia, oregano or Civarinos myself, but La Favorita is pretty good

My parents have a pizza oven in their garden. The pizzas are indeed incredible. I want one for my garden but fear I'd eat nothing but pizza.

I will indulge in these and get back to you.

I reckon this was just a ploy for Bairnardo to tell everyone he has an Ooni out back.

I can absolutely vouch for the Ooni ovens. Treat yourself this Christmas and hit me up on the scran thread. Partially why I have a bee in my bonnet about what passes for pizza and what some c***s charge for them probably.

Na I was trying not to blur the lines. The main reason for the post was the eating of the wifes leftover pizza from a kebab shop and finding it utterly vile.

I know exactly what you mean about the burning sensation... *Kenneth Williams gif* 

Care to share the name of the good pizza place? 

[Gus Setsniffer]

does something magical happen to pizza made by Italians in Scotland, because i've had one in Rome and it was shite ?

Aye, I’ll definitely be getting one when I have a bit more space. 

In Glasgow I rate a Paesano (half price NHS discount during the first lockdown ), Mozza and Baffo. All pretty reasonably priced too.

I got a Errols Hot Pizza in the Southside the other day and thought it was decent but quite pricey tbh and a bit of an annoying booking system.

Rename thread, ‘Pizza thread’ pls mods.

bombay mix, across from the school. fully expect you/someone else to now jump in and tell you they're rank, but i like em

edit: Woody's next to the Jaconelli's (across from the police station) does a good pizza too imo, can't mind but there's a couple - think it might be the Shock n' Awe one on their menu that I'm really keen on, pretty nippy tho
