Pizza is so casual, so trite, so "been-there-done-that." It takes one really freaking amazing pizza to really stand out in your memory of a life-long pizza consumption. I think that is because there is really nothing to it. A little dough, a little sauce, throw some cheese on top, maybe a little meat and veggies, and there you go. Not brain surgery. Therefore in order for someone to say, "Wow, that pizza is REALLY good," the pizza has to actually be REALLY good. Down below you will find a list of pizzas that I can remember as being noteworthy. They stood out for some reason or another. They were remarkable enough to rise out of the metaphorical dough of 'just-averageness,' to stand out as something truly worth writing home about. I decided to also include in my list pizzas that were so horrifically disgusting as well. For certainly those stand out too.
1. Papa Johns. True, it is fast food pizza, but good grief. Amazing.
2. NY Pizza in Norman, OK. Thin crust, greasy, NY style pizza. Can't explain it. But some Italian in the middle of Oklahoma can cook some amazing pizza.
3. The 'seafood pizza' I had with Russ in Cordoba while we were touring Spain. This stands out due to its inclusion in the horrifically disgusting department.
4. Mellow Mushroom. Love that crust. What in the world is it?
5. Bagel Bites. I grew up heating up those frozen minature bagels with the little cubes of pepperoni on top. And my mouth still waters thinking about them.
6. Square pizza lunch day in the cafeteria. Nothing like pizza, corn, a little individual carton of milk, and a Star Crunch for lunch.
7. Coach's Bar-B-Q Chicken Pizza in Norman, OK. Again...I don't know what is going on in Norman with their pizza. But this pie will melt your soul.
That is all that I can think of for truly remarkable pizza, both good and bad. What stands out to you as remarkable pizza?

There's a place in Nichols Hills called Saturn Grill that makes an AMAZING pepperoni and portabello mushroom pizza. Oh mama.
Kansas City has some amazing pizza. We get a slice each at a place called Pizza 51 and can barely finish them (though we always manage). They're huge and tremendous.
