In Pizza We Crust: Discover Your Own Foodie Mount Everest With Tube Station Pies

Ahead of the 2018 Beijing Pizza Festival this weekend, Oct 13-14, 11am-8pm, In Pizza We Crust will detail several of the vendors who will attend this year's event and what makes their pies special in the capital.

When it comes to food, is bigger always better? The answer is a resounding yes when it comes to Tube Station and their not-so-humble pizza. Catering to parties of one to parties of 12 with just as much ease, ordering their gargantuan pies to your house is often worth it just for the entertainment of watching the delivery man trying to balance it through the narrow corridors to your apartment.

Tube Station has been kneading and baking fluffy deep dish pizzas since 1999 and secured a piece of Beijingers' hearts and stomachs with a consistently great quality and unpretentious approach. Here, Tube Station help us pick the perfect pizza for various situations so that the next time you are heading in for a cheesy bite, you can refer to this guide to help you navigate the twists and turns of their extensive selection.

Eating With Kids: Cherry Pizza

Kids love pizza and they love sweets so how could they resist when the two are combined on the same plate?

Tube Station's cherry pizza is probably not the first thing many of us would order, and while it might give more conservative Italian pizza lovers a minor heart attack, this dessert pizza is the cherry cheesecake's long-lost brother and comes packed with just as much potential and deliciousness.

The Morning After: Tube Station Special

What happened last night? Whose couch am I on? Where are my pants? Did I really just get elected to the Supreme Court? Look for the answers to all of these questions under a blanket of seven different toppings, fresh cheese, and homemade sauce.

Exploring the depths of a Tube Station Special may also serve as a therapeutic tool for your impossible hangover and help you remember what actually happened yesterday. Pro tip: goes down even better while binge-watching a TV show.

The Adventurous Spirit: Spaghetti Pizza

Whether you’re climbing Mount Everest, braving the Amazon, or simply crossing the street, true China adventurers all need one thing to keep them going: carbs. Fuel your journey with this pasta and pizza combo, which trot the globe together just like Lewis and Clark.

Further yet, impress your friends and family by venturing past the prosaic pepperoni order, diving instead straight into the pizza-unknown – at the end of the day, what is there not to like? Pizza? Good. Spaghetti? Good. Bacon? Good!

Lazy Sunday: Hawaiian

Hawaiians set the bar for chill. So even though Beijing doesn’t have beaches, palm trees, or big fin tuna, you can still recline like a big Kahuna with a steamy ham and pineapple pizza.

Leave the age-old debate for and against fruit on pizza behind, and gather your crew for a feet-on-the-table kind of Sunday with an additional smattering of cheese. After all, who needs division and conflict when there is fresh pizza to be eaten?

The Want it Allers: Garbage Pail 

You never settle. You play to win. You go big or go home. You put almost every single ingredient available on a pizza and dare people to stop you.

Tube Station will put everything in and around their kitchen on your pizza, suddenly making the pineapple debate much less controversial. Smile away in bliss as you gulp down mushrooms, onions, pepper, meats, cheese, and, basically, the entire rest of the food pyramid on this bad boy. Why choose bits and pieces when you could have it all?
