There was this really crazy pizza in Ohio that would put cold cheese and pepperoni on it after it was cooked.




Yeah, that's awful.  It's DiCarlo's a panhandle thing.  They are around Steubenville, Wheeling, and south of Pittsburgh.  I went to the one in WHeeling one.  It was truly awful

Finally, a pizza that UTee discriminates against!!
I don't think we can even call that a pizza.  It's more like... a scientific experiment, gone wrong. :)

Also, I was not a big fan of the pizza I received in France, where they cracked a raw egg on top as they served it to me in my seat.  I ate it, but I didn't love it.

One of the worst pizzas I've had in the last several years was in Italy.

Of course, that was in the crappy food court in the Vatican, sitting under warming lights for God knows how long*, and was only purchased because we were starving after having spent the last 36 hours either traveling, crashed in our hotel after traveling, or walking around the Vatican without having eaten anything because we were so jet lagged and in a hurry to get to our tour.

All the other pizzas we had in Italy were excellent. We ended up having pizza in Rome, the Cinque Terre, and Florence, and it was interesting to see the stylistic differences between the three places.

 * It's the Vatican. I'd assume he would know.

It was some sort of Steubenville delicacy that found it's way to Columbus at some point.

It does sound weird, but I would try it once just to see what it was like.
I think I'd try it, but it looks like an abomination.

Uno's is the only "Chicago style" pizza I've tried, and it was horrid. 

I tried it twice in fact, once in an airport food court, and again out of a Casino Bowling Ally's food stand. 

So each was probably the worst version of Uno's imaginable; and Uno's is of course the Sbarro's of Chicago style pizza in the first place.

Can’t eat anywhere right by the Vatican. Tourist trap places up the ass with high prices and disgusting food. This is only certain areas in Rome, namely Vatican. Whereas I feel like in say Paris there are tourist trap places everywhere. In Paris you have to know where to go to eat.

As someone who grew up with Uno's, there is a huge difference between Uno's at the corner of Wabash and Ohio on Chicago (or Due's at Wabash and Ontario) and the terrible franchise chain they created around it. It's not even remotely the same. And that's true of Uno's franchises in the Chicago area; it's not like it's even a regional thing. You go out to the suburbs to a place called Uno's and it's nothing even remotely like the original. 

That's not true of other Chicago chains like Lou Malnati's. The original Uno's and Due's are on par with Malnati's, which are pretty consistent for every one of them I've sampled across the greater Chicago metropolitan area. But the Uno's chain is absolutely not like the original, at all, full stop.

I was impressed with pretty much everything I ate in Italy, minus the Vatican cafe and one tourist trap in Florence. I wasn't impressed with anything I ate in Paris.

They did open a Giordano's in Columbus, which is supposed to be Chicago style done properly. But it cost a fortune, and you had to place your order over an hour in advance, and it was way too much for just me. So I never tried it.

Giordano's is a known Chicago chain, and although they were never my favorite, they made decent pizza. They seemed to specialize in the "stuffed" type pizza, where there was an additional layer of crust over the top of the pizza then drizzled with additional tomato sauce. 

I don't know whether a Giordano's in Columbus is representative of the original though. 

As for "way too much for just me", yeah. One pizza would probably be 4-6 meals for a normal person.

Yeah, and it really didn't look all that appealing. Cheese looks awesome, but way too much sauce, and on top of the cheese. Looks more like Pizza soup in a bread bowl.

The original Uno is great, as was the Lou Malnati's location I went to in Chicago.  Of course, I'm an admitted lover of the style.

Oh also, Pizzeria Uno co-founder Ike Sewell was a University of Texas Longhorn football player, who made all-SWC and all-American honors at Guard whilst in Austin.
