Bad Pizza is good

Good Pizza is Great

Great Pizza is heaven-sent

[–] [email protected] 41 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's great hot, and it's great cold. What's not to love? It's quite cheap to make, although not so cheap to have delivered, and it's one of those meals you can make that uses up leftovers well.

People who reheat pizza in a microwave will be first against the wall when I am king.

The last bit is what truly turned me. Pizza in the toaster oven/air fryer is absolutely choice.

One of the top 3 inventions of humankind. Up there with fire and the wheel. Maybe penicillin is a close fourth.

[–] ConstipatedWatson 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

While the concepts you expounded are correct, their order is wrong.

Pizza did come after fire and wheel, but it is, of course, more important of them as it is encapsulating the concepts of "fire" in its forging and "wheel" in its shape.

Clearly, pizza represents the pinnacle of human evolution and, if you so desire, you can have it with a topping of penicillin.

I think I know why you're constipated

Is fire an invention? I feel like it is something that happens to us wether we like it or not.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Good point, that means pizza moves up to place 2!

Doesn't visit often enough and when it does, doesn't stay long enough.

So, I live in Europe right now. And if there's one thing Italians are great at, it's opening authentic pizza places all over Europe. So I'm not in Italy, but I'm close enough that I get this REALLY good, authentic Italian pizza. It's, like, perfectly thin crust, wonderful cheese... It's heavenly.

But whenever I visit my family back in Canada, I crave this very old-style pizza that I can only find in my hometown anymore. I'm talking super-thick and fluffy crust my dad would eat with a dab of butter, homemade tomato sauce, thin, salty pepperoni slices the size of saucers, long strips of green bell pepper, and a mountain of greasy cheese that gives the pizza a semi-oblong shape.

And what can I say... I love them both equally. Pizza is love.

Pizza is love.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

I fucking love pizza

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Any pizza will find someone who loves it if you make it correctly.

[–] cyberpunk007 8 points 10 months ago

I have no problem eating failed pizza either. If it has dough, sauce, and at the very least some cheese I'll eat it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

How does pizza feel about me?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Grease. Cheese. Meat. It's like, the food for the Gods, if I remember my childhood correctly.

Pizza for president!

I've had to change my favorite pizza now that heartburn and lactose intolerance have become issues. If you ever feel like changing it up, a pizza with oil, mushrooms, sausage, roasted garlic and parmesan & reggiano is excellent, as well as being easy on acid and lactose free! (Aged cheese doesn't have lactose)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

I could eat it all day and shit it out all night

[–] Copythis 6 points 10 months ago

With my hands.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Passionately in favour.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

One of the foods that I love most!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago
[–] knotthatone 4 points 10 months ago

I like trying all the different styles and learning about new ones. Neapolitan, Sicilian, Roman, New York, Chicago deep dish, Chicago tavern thin, Detroit, etc. I just had quad cities style for the first time recently.

The variations are endless!

Honey on pizza is a gamechanger

I like it, but the grease bothers my stomach now. It's frustrating.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I had the same problem and I just stopped getting pepperoni and that helped a lot

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago
[–] shiroininja 4 points 10 months ago

I love pizza, especially chicago style deep dish.
But I feel Detroit style has really been kicking it lately and I've been loving it. But I don't discriminate, I love all my pizzas. My pancreas doesn't though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I don't like it

I FUCKING LOVE IT!!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Love that stuff

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Frozen pizzas are so unsatisfying and I don't know why. It's the same freaking cheap ingredients as a pizza chain pizza, like Papa John's. I'm good at cooking them, y'all, I heat those bad boys on the grill and add my own fancy toppings. But when I look at the frozen pizza that I grilled, my heart longs for more.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

It's nice to eat it sometimes, but not very often.

[–] spittingimage 3 points 10 months ago

Pizza unites us.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

It’s ridiculously hard to get a good one on a Sunday evening.

I made pizza from cheap store brought ingredients for the majority of my single adult life, now I have coeliacs, correlation or causation we will never know. Still love it though, it just costs waaay more for GF pizza

It's too damn divisive!

I bring Costco pizza to my d&d party every Wednesday.

It used to be Papa Murphy's but somehow those dumbasses made the price of take and bake pizza prohibitively expensive.

Local pizza is the bomb, Chicago deep dish is the best, but the best Chicago deep dish is on the West Coast in a building that used to be a brothel.

New York Pizza is awesome, but it's harder to replicate than Chicago's cheese and meat casserole.

Pineapple is the most balancing ingredient and I'll fight you (with words) over it, but one of the least good for leftover/reheating.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Hate it. Had it every friday until I was 22.
