[Discussion] Bitcoin Pizza Day on Bitcointalk 🍕

[Ale88]

I can't choose between a classic pizza or a calzone, is it possible to make 2 pizzas for the contest ?

Question is, is calzone even considered being a pizza? I remember having this dicussion many years ago while in Italy and usual answer I got was "No", even though it is basically a folded pizza. I wonder what our bitcointalk mafia has to say on the subject?

Calzone is more than simply folding a pizza and, in my opinion, calzone cannot be considered as a pizza, they are two different products.

The only folded pizza I know is pizza a portafoglio, not sure if there are other regional versions though.

I am very happy with this contest and I also want to take part in this contest and now I have just finished making this bitcoin pizza with minimal ingredients but to be honest I am not an expert in making pizza but I have done it with enthusiasm


Below is the process before baking and before topping with the Bitcoin logo

Hello,

May I ask what is this green stuff ?

What the IA say about Calzone : (thank you for your answers, I really thought it was a pizza)

While calzones and pizzas share some similarities, they are not the same thing. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences:

Shape: Pizzas are typically flat and round, while calzones are folded and semi-circular.

Garnish: Pizzas are often topped with a variety of ingredients, such as cheese, vegetables, meats, and sauces, which are spread out on the surface. Calzones, on the other hand, have their fillings enclosed within the dough, creating a sealed pocket.

Fillings: While pizzas can have various toppings, calzones are typically filled with ingredients like cheese, meats, vegetables, and herbs, which are mixed together and placed inside the dough.

Cooking method: Pizzas are baked in an oven, while calzones are often fried or baked in an oven.

Texture: Pizzas have a crispy crust and a soft, chewy center. Calzones have a crispy exterior and a soft, cheesy interior.

In summary, while calzones are made with pizza dough and may share some similarities with pizzas, they are a distinct type of dish with their own unique characteristics.

I guess you already had your answer, but no, calzone is not a pizza.
If you go to an Italian pizzeria don't expect to find a calzone as a standard product. Only some of them offers it.

May I ask what is this green stuff ?

I do second that.
Looks like green plastiline.
Pizza is not that bad, but that fluo green thing… why green? Is it BCash pizza?

It's great to see this year's bitcoin pizza contest being held again. This will be my first opportunity to enter this contest. Because in previous years I never participated in this competition.

Making process

Step 1

Pizza dough

Step 2

The pizza dough has been formed and will go into the oven/grill

The end result

I call it bitcoin spider web pizza. Although the final result did not meet my expectations. But I am very proud to be able to make pizza in this bitcoin-themed contest.

When making this bitcoin pizza, the most difficult thing for me was making the bitcoin logo in the middle, so the shape wasn't perfect. Apart from that, making bitcoin paintings on sausages that have been cut into pieces is also very time consuming. It took me 1 hour to make a painting on the sausage. Then the total time I made this pizza was 3 hours, quite tiring, but I really enjoyed it. And the taste of this pizza is quite delicious, according to my family, so even though the shape is not quite what I planned, I am very happy to be able to make this pizza.






And I would like to thank Icopress as well as BCgame, BitcoinGirl, and Theymos for organizing and sponsoring this contest.

Ngl That's look so delicious. I thought you made it for purpose because the logo of BC.game one of the sponsor of this contest. It would be great if you made some explanation why you choice that colour for Bitcoin Logo. Anyway, goodluck to your entry hope you win this contest. ☺️

Yeah I have done a lot of pizzas the last year (with more or less success lol), but still trying to improve a little bit each time  
Thank you for the compliment! I agree, nothing is better than a homemade crust!!!

Dear All,
Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day ....

This is my submission for this Bitcoin Pizza event. It's really exciting to make pizza again at a special moment like this. Even though the results are still quite far from the others and may not resemble real pizza, this form of pizza is popular here. ha ha
So I made it like this and coincidentally my family also likes it.

Here is the result:

Sorry, I really forgot to take picture with username and date when it's all done, only just remembered it when having the last bite and got the photo like this. But before that, I had made it and there was a photo of the writing on the ingredients. Because my kids were fussy when they saw the pizza was ready and quickly wanted to eat it. 

Here's other photos of Pizza closely and slice:


This is a collection of photos of ingredients and preparations:


Hopefully you like it and I'm so pleased once again to join this special event.

This is the second time I have participated in the pizza contest. This time I tried to make my pizza more interesting than last time. Bought all the ingredients and made this pizza at home and had fun with family members. All the ingredients needed to make pizza are capsicum, pizza sauce, flour, yeast powder, black olives, cheese, chicken and some other ingredients. I am happy to be a participant in this contest.

[aoluain]

Delighted to see this back on the forum, I'm in and have booked a day off work to go shopping
for ingredients, bake, eat, celebrate and participate.



The bar has already been set very high by paid2 and a previous champion has entered the ring

That time of the year has already come.
I am ready to battle for the throne.
There will be competition in the Italian mafia board.
There will be blood tomato.
I had a minor upgrade this year. Hopefully, I will have my dear pizza icon again.

Thank you, Icooress, for organising all this.
Thank you also to the sponsors for your generosity.

Note to self: I will enter the competition on this post.

Thank you to icopress, BC.Game, BitcoinGirl and Theymos, the prizes are fantastic.

The chance to just  participate here, show off my Pizza and seeing everyone elses will be great!

I hope with this memorable day tomorrow there will be a global Pizza feast and the smell of
dough, cheese, Italian meats and Olive oil will waft around the globe intoxicating all into
the heady excitment of Bitcoin Pizza Day

[Wonder Work]

I participated in Pizza for the first time this year. It was a very special moment for me.

The ingredients needed to make pizza are:

Pizza plate, Mozzarella cheese, Pizza sauce, Oregano, Yeast, Milk, Capsicum, Beef aparoni, Black olives.

I have never made pizza either but my wife makes them for me sometimes. I will participate in this contest this time so I helped. We are making this pizza together.

HAVE A GOOD DAY

[coolcoinz]

Wow this is great, I'm definitely in for this one.

I didn't win anything in the last one, but the tables can always turn in my favor.

I'll edit this post with my photos later.
Hope to see a lot of yummy pizzas here soon.

A suggestion to everyone who creates reserve posts (I don't know why they do this, but ok):
When you update the posts with your pizzas, make a new post informing that you have updated the reservation post, and the link to it. This makes it easier to understand who has already sent their participation.

I just came to ask how/where to upload and yeah - this probably makes the most sense.

Pizza day almost upon us fellas, bon appetit!

I guess someone noticed that the pizzas on the first pages had an advantage in terms of views compared to the ones on the last pages.
So everyone is reserving a post in order to be in the best post.

I think I can view some pizzas sent last year on page two a thousand times and never get to vote for them!

I guess someone noticed that the pizzas on the first pages had an advantage in terms of views compared to the ones on the last pages.

Yeah that is right because whenever someone visits a thread it checks the first page to see what is the content and the discussion about the topic. So the what the person said it is not far from the truth. But that's not necessary that the people or the pizzas at the first page wins the contest. Someone that decorate his pizza very and he dropped it at the last page of the thread can also win the contest. So all what matter is to prepare a nice pizza for the public viewing since we can't eat it.

Let's everyone who is interested to participate should try their best to win the contest and not everyone can win but only the mentioned numbers in the Op. This is one the highest event making the forum  more interesting and we come again to celebrate. This events is to create love among members in the forum and not to do the otherwise. And everyone is free to participate if you are interested.

[Ale88]

From the time the thread is published until June 1st, you will have the opportunity to post photos of your pizza

Just a clarification: does the contest end on the 31st of May, 00:00 UTC time?
