Where is that 3rd picture taken at? That pizza looks like something I want!

I think that's at Blackthorn pub in the Tower Grove Park area. Best deep dish pizza (and best pizza in general) in stl.

That is indeed Black Thorn Pub.

If you look closely at that speaker in the background, there is a penis drawn on it in chalk. One of my best friends put it there 5 years ago and nobody ever took it off, which is awesome.

Is there anywhere in StL to get Chicago-style other than Uno? I like Uno, just wondering if there are others out there.

Lemons

I read on the web a few weeks ago that Lemons has a free pizza buffet on Monday nights. Is this true? If this is true, am I an idiot for not eating there every Monday night?

And is it the same pizza (sauce, etc.) as BTP, since they're owned by the same folks?

I would alternate between pizza and mexican food for pretty much every meal if they weren't so unhealthy.

Both can be healthy, if you prepare them right.

You can make a pizza with a whole wheat crust, mostly veggie toppings, and light on the cheese and it would be pretty healthy for you. I mean, it's just bread, veggies, and cheese if you don't put 18 pounds of meat on it.

Though 18 pounds of meat on a pizza is delicious...

By the way... I didn't see a NY style in the original post so I will remedy this, though Chicago-style has my heart:

Speaking of NYC style, I assume you've been to Ferraro's Jersey-style down in Soulard? Tasty stuff. Lots of meat.

Yup. Just be aware that it's not a totally traditional Chicago-style (i.e. it looks like Popeye's last photo and not his first).

Yeah, that's what had be a bit confuzzled. Looks like good stuff, though.

I grew up on a place called Roma's in Bethalto. Wonderful thin-crust Sicilian-style pizza. It's still there (although it's moved a couple of times). I usually pick one up when I visit the folks.

P_C's easy deep dish recipe.


1 box Hot Roll Mix
10oz block frozen spinach (thawed)
1 ball fresh mozerella cheese (grated)
toppings as desired (olives, mushrooms, green peppers, sausage, ham, etc.)
Some sort of pizza/pasta sauce (I prefer a spicier, chunkier sauce myself)
12" round, 1.5" deep pan, preferably cast iron


* Mix dough as directed for pizza dough, and let rise
* Seperate out 2/3 of dough, and roll out so that you have a 1" overlap over the pan
* Mix spinach with 2/3 of grated cheese. Place in pan.
* Spread other toppings over the spinach/cheese mix.
* Roll out remaining dough so that it covers the pan. Roll the overlap dough into the covering dough, and kinda tuck it all in. Cut a couple 1" slits in the dough to let steam escape.
* Spread sauce on top.
* Bake on bottom rack at 450 for 10 minutes. Move to middle rack and bake for 30-45 minutes (until dough is browning). Sprinkle on remaining cheese for last 10 minutes.

I am sorry, but spinach does not deserve to be on my pizza...meat meat meat and onions and garlis with mushrooms on occasion...
