ive never had a more extreme pizza

so ive got an extreme pizza across the street from where i'm living and we all know that there's nothing like trying something with a stupid name... (oh their website).

(there's about 64million images when i google"extreme", i dont know who this is but he looks like a pretty extreme douchebag)


anyways, i ordered by phone and i was on hold for a bit before the guy took my order. i got the "yard sale" and all i had to do was walk over in 10 minutes. i entered the place, and the half-asian lookin guy was like... what's up brah? very extreme.

the pizza was good. yard-sale is very much like pizza hut's super supreme, which imo is one of the best signature pizzas for any franchise. the ingredients were much fresher than PH's. which seems to be the case with everywhere i go in cali. the crust is what PH does better. this was good, simple and crispy... but it was too thin for a pizza with so much substance on top. i got the indie sized pie(8" diameter) and it was a great size for one normal person. the price was alright, its no nyc slices.

the ultimate test, of course, is the cold pizza test. i left 1/4 of it in the fridge, and about 4 hours later, the slice was probably the best cold pizza ive ever had. there wasnt any of that gross... refridgerated old cheese on top, i could only really taste the toppings, as the god of extremeness (extremities? no, thats not right) intended.


good: fresh ingredients, so close i could crawl there if i had to, just enough extreme-ness
bad: crusticity to toppings ratio, a little on the pricey side

I call BS on your 'cold pizza' test. You can't effectively critique cold pizza unless the pizza has naturally cooled, such as having been left out overnight and eaten for breakfast. Accelerating the cooling process, via the refrigerator, is a different experiment altogether.

i agree with rax. artificial chilling of pizza is not the same as "cold pizza" that people grab from a box left out over night.
