St. Louis-style pizza is absolute shit. That's why you never hear about it. But it really is a thing here, and it's baffling as hell.

They don't even use mozzarella for fuck's sake, they use a 'cheese product' called Provel. Never heard of Provel? They sell it everywhere here. Nearly 80% of restaurants (bar and grill types) serve provel. And to be honest, I kinda like provel on sandwiches.

So what is Provel?

Provel /pr?'v?l/ is a white processed cheese particularly popular in Saint Louis cuisine,[1] that is created through a combination of cheddar, Swiss, and provolone cheeses.[2][3][4] Provel has a low melting point and, thus, has a gooey and almost buttery texture at room temperature. It is the traditional topping for St. Louis-style pizza. It is also often used in the preparation of cheese soup and served on salads, chicken and the Gerber sandwich. Some restaurants use Provel for their pasta dishes with white sauce instead of the customary fresh Italian cheese and cream.

Basically, and I can hear McCheese masturbating already, it's provolone Velveeta. Melts the same as Velveeta.

It's pretty good actually. It's a hoagie bun open faced, with ham and provel. Then they run it through the pizza oven to crisp the bread and melt the cheese.

I got Pizza Hut's new hand tossed dough or whatever the fuck that new dough they're supposedly using. Had some garlic spread on the crust. Tasted pretty bomb diggity. Their sauce and ingredients still taste like shit otherwise though.

I don't really enjoy the taste of their sauce or many of their toppings. Most of the toppings just feel like they were frozen and mass produced, which they are. Their stuffed crust is pretty good though.

That's one of the reasons I enjoy local pizza places. I'm sure they freeze ingredients too, but I think a lot of their stuff is fresh too.

I'm the exact opposite; the crust doesn't even seem like a bread product to me.

They're currently developing MRE pizza and they already have a 'prototype' of it. $10 says it will be as good, if not better, than Pizza Hut.

There is a pizza hut by our work and we sometimes go there for the lunch buffet, Its like $7. The pizza is fresh and decent. We down like 4-5 pizzas between us all. Not bad when its fresh for lunch, but for dinner and carryout, there are local places by my house that are 100% better.

Pizza Hut lunch buffet is awesome, but it's hard to find it around these parts nowadays. I can only think of one local Pizza Hut (out of 5 or 6) that does it, and I think it's for an hour or two during lunch time.

What I REALLY miss is the KFC buffet. That was some fast food heaven.

If any of you live near a Round Table, they have the lunch buffet as well. It is pretty much just pizza and salad, but Round Table pizza is pretty good compared to places like Pizza Hut, and it costs about the same I believe. The salad bar has pretty good options too, if you're into that sort of thing.

I believe one night of the week they also have the same thing in the evening too, as a few coworkers take their families for a fairly cheap meal.

Best pizza is from New Haven county in CT. NY is shit compared to it. Fact. Even other counties in CT have shit pizza compared to it.

Edit - despite my emense hate for East Haven (jersey shore of CT) it has one of the best pizza places.

We have 2 awesome Indian buffet lunch places right by our work, nowthatsfast food heaven (fast food as in fast, but not fast food). Shit, some of us used to go to those places 2-3 times a week. They all had different stuff every day too.

Damn, Im on my diet for a work contest to lose weight, I need to stop taking about this shit.
