does grease soak through the bottom of pizza boxes?

[–] Coreidan 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oohhhhh ya. That’s why you can’t recycle pizza boxes. They soak up grease.

Take a look at the bottom of a pizza box next time you order pizza.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest 1 points 6 months ago

I never order pizza. I'm a healthy person with six-pack abs but dangit my doctor told me yesterday a recent breast biopsy came back malignant so I have to get surgery next week 😭, So we can all try our damndest to be healthy, but cancer doesn't discriminate.

This is going to sound obvious but that depends on how greasy the pizza is. It can happen.

That is a hot and ready for sure

[–] Coreidan 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

That makes no sense at all.

Good pizza is just as greasy as bad pizza.

By nature a pizza is greasy due to all of the melted cheese.

That’s like saying a good burger isn’t greasy. Of course it’s going to be greasy.

I've had good cheesy pizzas that have less grease. If you pick up the pizza and the bottom of the box is damp it's too greasy.

What do you consider “good” pizza?

I’ve made a lot of pizza in my day and it’s damn near impossible to avoid grease.

It comes from the pepperoni and cheese and anything else fatty that you top it with.

Are you saying good pizza is made with ingredients that don’t have fatty grease? You’d have to use low fat cheese, etc. To me that isn’t “good” pizza.

As for pizzas I get from restaurants I’ve never had one that didn’t have at least some grease in the pizza box. This is coming from someone that lives in the NY area where pretty much all pizza there is gourmet authentic pizza and not franchise pizza like dominos.

I think our definitions of good pizza are way different.

Good pizza should have some grease to it, otherwise the ingredients are questionable.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Literally had pizzas with these ingredients that weren't too oily and greasy. It's possible and tastes so much better.

[–] MilitantVegan 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Both statements are entirely valid, as neither pizza nor burgers require meat or cheese.

[–] Coreidan 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Good point but if you work in a pizza restaurant you’ll realize almost NO ONE orders pizza without cheese. There is the very rare order it happens but it’s extremely rare.

So technically you are right but in practicality you are way off.

However with a burger it’s the meat that is greasy. Not so much the cheese. So unless you’re having a non-beef burger (not really a burger) it’s going to be greasy no matter what you put on it.

[–] MilitantVegan 0 points 6 months ago

True, restaurant/delivery pizza - even vegan options - are almost universally super oily.

Non-meat burgers are most definitely burgers, and do have the benefits of not only having more variety, but are easily made to be actually healthy if desired.

Says someone who's never doused their pizza in oil.
