Photo of "The Monster" pizza
(Click on thumbnails for enlargement)
Bobby (last name witheld for his protection) ordered this pizza when we were at a photoshoot in Hollywood on Monday. The menu listed it as "The Monster." I'm told it was very tasty.

Is there a crust under there? Any cheese?
Maybe this should be referred to as a flattened gyro rather than a pizza.
Is that guacamolito sauce I see?
thats not a pizza. its a flat bread with tons of shit on it.
Where'd you order that from? I want one!
is it just me or does it looks like the FSM in a 10G environment?
Thats not a moon, thats a space station
perhaps it could be fashioned into a flying spaghetti monster pizza. if you squint at it just right, maybe...
It's from a restaurant called Doughboys. From the menu at www.doughboys.net:
the monster: it's big, it's gooey, it's messy, it's great. a big round of grilled focaccia (looks like a fat tortilla), topped with melted emmanthal cheese, grilled onions, mushrooms, and roast beef. served hot, and open faced, (it looks like a pizza but you eat it like a big taco) it comes with some shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and horseradish sauce
$8.95
#8, oh damn I think I just soiled my skivvies.
Until I read the description, I just assumed the person who ate that also enjoyed haggis with a side of lutefisk liberally sprinkled nuoc mom. Now I'll just assume the haggis part - heh.
Further proof that California wouldn't know a pizza if it ran up and robbed them.
When is a self-righteous vegan going to chime in?
#11, it's listed under sandwiches on the menu
How long with it be before this shows up at ectomo.com? Hmmmm.
I'd rather have California pizza than NY pizza. (I am in the midwest and thus qualified to judge all things coastal.)
Sheesh, that looks NOTHING like the monster in Cloverfield! ;-)
@ZUKU: LOL -- being an ex-New Yorker who lived in the Mission in San Francisco for 15 years I can vouch for this!
But that 'pizza' is merely an armful of heart-clogging belt-widening deli meats tossed onto some doughy bio-hazard substance and ordered by some obese person driving an F-350 to their local drive-in pizza hut.
All the while a copy of 'Obesity for Dummies' lies unread on the passenger seat next to them.

so it's not really a pizza, they deliver it flat so it's cold by the time you get it... it's really a left coast nouveau interpretation of a roast beef sandwich.
Is that the "flying spaghetti monster?"
obese americans what?
Man, that thing looks super-delicious and you all know you would scarf it down toot-sweet.
Look how many dipping sauces it comes with! LOOK!
That being said I do think it needs some nacho cheese sauce on top.
I am a former vegan - now back to ovo-lacto vegetarian - and it still sounds delicious. It looks disgusting, but many tasty foods do. Emmentaler is awesome, and on focaccia with grilled onions and mushrooms? Damn!!
@Anechoic: Self righteous much? ...and since when is sliced roast beef on a sandwich "an armful of heart-clogging belt-widening deli meats?"
Lemme guess.. you're 6'6", 170 pounds, look like Brad Pitt (but taller and more fit, of course!), walk or run everywhere, and don't eat anything that didn't fall off a tree on it's own. no? Then shutyeryap.
Road Kill Pizza. It looks like an autopsy, an open chest cavity after the lungs have exploded and the steering wheel is removed. Yummy.
I think it needs a few vegetable toppings. Like, say, a head of cabbage, an entire broccoli stalk, and several carrots freshly plucked from the ground.
unicorn chaser, PLZ.
You might as well call that a cheesecake; it's no closer to one than to a pizza.
If what you really wanted was a Pihlly cheesesteak, why didn't you just get one of those?
this is enough protein to sustain an entire family for one week. Literally. More, in many countries.
What is the point?
I have been touched by its noodley appendage, once again. Oh, and the world was created in one day by the FSM, beat that suckas!
I'm a big fan of The Monster, but it's not a pizza. It's a sandwich. In fact, it's listed in the "Sandwiches" section of Doughboy's menu, and very much not listed in the "Pizza" section of the same menu.
omg is that a pile of onions on top? yeeeeeeeuuuuuuuck! Monster stomach cramps is more like it.
Well, for those of us who can't eat onions anyway. The rest of you stinkbreaths can have at it!
Ummmm, Pizza....
I think they should call it The Toomer®
Beware of its ability to tear off the Statue of Liberty's head and throw it down the street at inebriated twentysomethings.
Holy crap. That's right by my place. Well, I know what I'm having for dinner...
e_O;.....
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHFFFFFFF
Eating that looks like a form of self harm to me, it just looks like it's gonna hurt.
Am I a bad person for thinking "it looks like it's covered with anchovies...YUM!"
#25 Miles: I hope you realize by now that all my posts are ridiculously, aggressively stupid. Trouble is, enough people share my sensibilities that I keep doing it. A shame, eh?
...or else Pizza is gonna send out for you!
*hides*
Man, now I want pizza. Thanks a lot, BB! :(
Similar to the delicious "kebab pizza"from the home of the heart attack Bonnie Scotland!
actually it is very similar to a cheese steak, which can be hard to find in California.
Then again Jack-in-the-Box used to (or maybe they still do) served a "steak fajita" which was similar to a cheese steak.
@dculberson
go to the doctor much? or did I hit a soft spot with the obesity jibe?
FWIW: I hear 'Obesity for Dummmies' is written on a 6th grade level - so you should be able to handle it.
If anyon's in the UK & looking for similar quality food of this sort check out your local kebab shop & see if they do Naan Kebabs.
Get the 'Mix' or 'special mix' version. A naan bread, covered in the elephants leg stuff, chicken meat & Shish. You can have salad if you must. Add chilli sauce & mint sauce & you've got a meal for around 3 or 4 quid that will stuff your belly 'til next week.
I for one welcome our greasy doughy overlords.
