How did some clown establish to cut pizzas into squares in WI, or is this just something they do local here in the Fox Valley?
This person must be hunted down, terminated and 2 generations direct blood line should be rounded up and have the same fate. Unless it is a square pizza like R&Rs, this practice needs to cease! Not only is it a direct insult to the pizza Gods but is an unusable practice. To add insult to injury, it is also a direct slap in the face to the four poor souls who get the tiny 95% crust triangle pieces. Jees...rant over. V OUT |

I think the original idea was it helped liberal arts majors divide up the pizza equally, since math is not their thing. My Lab likes it as it is one of the few human food treats she gets. Some of those outer edges with no goodies on them. |

The science behind it is that you have a manageable size portion. With the triangle you bite the narrow end of the triangle and pull all the hot cheese and toppings off which land on your chin and burn both your tongue and chin simultaneously. But then some people feel if there's no pain there's no gain.
I can't really think of any negative thing about pizza, especially Luigi's in Shawano and Stevi B's in Appleton. Also like Papa Murphy's for bake at home. Had Christianos in Wautoma which I thought was good as well. Hell, I like all pizza. |

Not Wisconsin specific at all. Big pizza chain in Nebraska takes the nutty cake on this one. Order a large pizza during lunch, and it's sliced regular...order one for dinner and it's squares!
They do squares at lunch so they can sell by the slice. I asked them once why they don't sell by the slice for dinner and got a very confused look..... Square cuts on a circular pizza do suck, but on square they rule! |
| First encountered this when a sicilian family moved to town and opened a pizza joint. They always cut them in squares. Seemed more fill that way when you were sharing with buddies. Best pizza ever. Too bad they moved back (or so I heard). Haven't had any quite as good. |
|
There is nothing wrong with it but I admit there are some pizzas that belong cut one way and others as squares. For example, Rocky Rococo pizza belongs as square pieces, period. Good thin crust does well that way because it doesn't sag and what not as you work a small piece. Those little bits are magic. |

I wonder what they do at this place? Looks like slices! http://pizzadoctors.net/ Saw this place on TV and decided I have to make a road trip to La Crosse. Watch some of the videos. Some crazy pizzas -- Big Mac, Seafood and Skittles Dessert Pizza amongst others. Anyone been? Arf-roadtrip? |
|
They are fantastic! 2nd place goes to the rollo though... |

A true Sicilian pie squares or rectangles. I've yet to see a "real" Sicilian pie since leaving NY. I'm not a fan of square cut round pies.
All the others pie slices or "triangles." If its a Neapolitan pie - thin crust, roll the damn thing up and eat it! A nice hand tossed fold it, and eat it. No mess no fuss. |

If the topic has switched to pizza joints, it's Il Ritrovo in Sheboygan for me.
Accept No Substitutes. They don't. And you can cut your own pizza. |

Jimmys Grotto FTMFW! Shit, it's just after 7am, and I feel like walking over for one. |
|
Grottos FTW!!!!! But prepare your anus, and your toilet... |

Seven Lakes Golf Course in Whitelaw has some of the best pizza in Manitowoc County. Plus, on Tuesday-Thursday, it's all you can eat for $5.95. Not some shit buffet either, you order the pizza that you want and they bring it direct to your table.
They do cut it into squares though, so you square cut haters beware. Wild Tomato up in Fish Creek is another favorite of mine as well. |
| Wild Tomato is awesome. We always make it a point to eat there when we go up. The first time we went we made the mistake of sitting inside though during the summer. Wait for a table outside! Its not air conditioned and its a wood fired oven cooked in a single room place. Hot was an understatement. |

When I was working up there in the summer during college I always got take out, no way in hell I wanted to wait for a table at that place. |

Funny, I've always noticed the "pepper rings" on the menu but never ordered. Now I see them in that picture and want some as well. I don't know about 7am though. Unless you are just coming home at that time -- then it is more than appropriate!!! |

They had me at air-shipped cheese. On the short list. Need a reason to go to Sheboygan. Like "because it is Thursday". This sucks. I see at least four or five pizzas to try. That's not right -- ordering 5 pizzas in one visit. If they have fresh made cannoli...oh boy.  Round 1: Boscaiola |

That Ossobuco ala Milanese sounds good. Along with the cippollini on the side. And everything else on the menu. Why do this to me?!?!  |

All others pie cut, no exceptions. V OUT |
