Star Trek Pizza!
Hi all!
This post was originally going to be posted much earlier but because of the pandemic, I had to make certain my students were all set! This "Captain" has to take care of his crew! So, as I was watching the Star Trek: Picard episode Nepenthe I found myself getting hungry as Riker was making an awesome bunnycorn sausage pizza! I love pizza as many do and I started to think of a conversation I had with my brother a long time ago...
Each Star Trek is different and many times people ask "Which Star Trek is the 'best'?" I love em all but I don't love them all the same. So, my brother and I came up with an idea- Almost everyone loves pizza but pizza comes in many forms and types. Star Trek is like that! Many people are staying in and eating pizza during this COVID-19 pandemic, so, why not do the classic pairing of Trek and pizza?
Keep in mind, your list may differ from mine as regions, tastes, and replicator settings may vary.
Also note- I grew up and live in Massachusetts and we have a lot of Greek pizza places. I grew up eating pizza from Supreme House of Pizza in Brockton and to me, it's the best! Enjoy!
TOS- A pizza from Christo's (It was in Brockton forever! It sadly closed when its owner died.)! Ha! The classic neighborhood pizza that your parents would bring home hot and fresh. It's been loved for generations. The pizza place has inspired many moments in your life, you think of it fondly and it's a classic! It also sometimes doesn't have the best food if you're not looking for pizza and a salad but hey...you're folks enjoy it and you're there for pizza! It's a classic bar pizza.
TOS Animated Series- This was a pizza for the kids. Find it in your freezer aisle! It's fantastic and some people think its legit pizza and others think it needs to come from a pizza place to count. Well...my oven is a pizza place and get the all new Spock 2 pizza! It has rising crust! Giant pizza! Also, the stories are awesome, the pizza is fantastic, and to me, even with the bad animation, it's worth it. Get it while it's hot!
TNG- Supreme House of Pizza! You found your own pizza joint! It is similar to the other place but different! The crew is different, the ship has a similar name and people compare this series to the other one all the time!
The toppings are a little different, the salad is...dare I say it...better! This pizza place is where you really came into your own, stopping in after school to grab a pizza and do homework at the counter while you waited for your food. When I was growing up, TNG was on more than TOS. TNG was aired 2-3 times a day between networks! This is your comfort food. For me, its another bar pizza but its better than TOS. Make it so!
DS9- Deep Dish Nine! Grab yourself something different! It's a Chicago style pizza! DS9 is deep and rich with flavor. Each character is a solid chunk of goodness! Also, this series takes place on a space station so, we need a big pie! Deep dish pizza isn't everyone's jam because it isn't like the other two pizzas but hey, if you love deep dish, you LOVE Deep Dish Nine! Er...Deep Space Nine! This pizza is also a comfort food!
Voyager- This pizza is that out of the way pizza joint you found and it has some weird pizza options and they like to burn the crust a little for flavor! Voyager pizza is the best pizza to get on a road trip or while you're trying to get home. A few years in, they added a new menu item and wow! It's so good! You're going out of your way to get this new comfort food and enjoy it's fun jalapeno toppings. Also, there is coffee in a nebula nearby, so, grab a cup and engage!
Enterprise- A new pizza joint which has a brick oven pizza and is making pizza the way pizza was made before the pizza you grew up on was made! You like the pizza but it took a while to grow on you. You need faith of the heart to endure the restaurant's music which took a long time to grow on you and now when you think of it, it makes you laugh. Sadly, this pizza place closed too soon, just as it's menu was expanding and getting good! The last day this place was open seemed odd as the usual cook wasn't in the kitchen and wait...isn't that Riker?!?! What is he doing here?!
Discovery!- Hold on to your seats everyone! This pizza opened with a lot of controversy online! "What pizza place has a cover charge?!?!" said all the people who happily bought tons of pizza merch from the other pizza places. This pizza place doesn't have a ton of menu seasonal menu options like the other places, 15 or so items to choose from instead of the usual 24+ like the other places. Still, this pizza joint has high end toppings like Kelpian!
I'm kidding, it doesn't have Kelpian....okay...during the day, but there is a mirror door you can open and back there are some really crazy toppings and drinks. The Captain...no wait empress, or is it Captain? Whoever runs the Mirror Room is not to be messed with. She may or may not be sabotaging other local restaurants. Also, I heard a guy who looks like Riker directed a few tasty dishes. Hmm...
In the first year, the head chef was a little weird as he also put fortune cookies in with the take out orders. Strange. The second year this pizza joint opened it's doors, they got a new guy making pizzas and wow! Everything Captain Pike made was epic! Plus Pike has Spock and Number One with him! Classic's that you love with new flavors like a big ol juciy burger with habanero ketchup and fries! Pike's Pizza! Pike Pizza-The sauce is just right, just the right level of cheesiness, and the toppings! Wow! Just...don't let the Pike Pizza burn in the over some day...we all know it will...sigh...
Picard!- You've grown up, you palate is different. Some of you are having wine with pizza, some of you are have an existential crisis with your pizza, and some of you just want the pizza to taste like it did in the old days but there is no going back! This is an older pizza joint which has reopened its doors and has a bunch of menu items and cooks who are into doing things differently, slower, and with more favor! Slow roasted garlic is mixed into the dough and every slice leaves you wanting more! The pizzas are different. Try the balsamic glaze pizza Try the bunnycorn sausage pizza with garden fresh ingredients! Wait...who is that in the kitchen in the back? Is that...Riker?!?! Who is that with you? Troi?! Hey! You in the back! Hugh? Oh hi! Lookin good man! Hope to have you around for a....oh. Last but not least is Seven! Welcome back Seven! You need your own restaurant! It will be awesome! We all know it! Maybe like a giant Borg cube food truck?
Well, if you made it to the end, go reward yourself with some pizza! I know I could have added a ton to this and hey...maybe I will revisit it again if you'd like! Enjoy and hit it!
