Texsox Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 23, 2009 -> 07:13 AM) Don't ever order a "sausage pizza" in Chicago, UNLESS you say -- I want sliced Italian sausage. Otherwise they use that crap looking turd sausage. No matter where you order it from, just tell them you want sliced Italian sausage, and they'll do it, and THEN your pizza will taste like it's supposed too. I have to admit, however, I have never tried anchovies on my pizza...I do like ranch dressing with my pizza, though. Wrong. Oh how I miss real sausage on a pizza.

If you want *REAL* sausage pizza, you do what I said, and then you get it. I think your joke went over my head. :/ Edited March 23, 2009 by Y2HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your joke went over my head. :/ Sliced sausage isn't Chicago-style sausage pizza (not that Italian sausage in and of itself isn't wonderful, it is). It's supposed to be the "turd sausage", with the carraway seeds and all the incredible spices. If that doesn't taste right to you, you are going to the wrong pizza joints.

Actually that's not what Tex is talking about, he clarified. The stuff you are eating now is NOT the way it's supposed to be made, at all. It's cheap crap.

Real Chicago sausage is the only thing, and I miss it dearly. Exactly. There is no comparison between a true Chicago style sausage, and the sausage that is available nationwide from any chain. That stuff is too bland. The special seasoning blend and appearance is totally different. If it is uniform in shape, texture, and color, it is the wrong stuff. If it is hand shaped from a bulk mix, it is the correct stuff. And the real Chicago sausage. Jim, do you have a recipe? That would be worth mixing up.
