Bad Pizza is good

Good Pizza is Great

Great Pizza is heaven-sent

[–] Deebster@lemmy.ml 45 points 1 year 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@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year 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.

[–] xenon@feddit.de 3 points 1 year 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.

[–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

I fucking love pizza

[–] lacarsi@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

One of the foods that I love most!

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year 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.

[–] iesou@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

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)

[–] s_s@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

How does pizza feel about me?

[–] Raisin8659@monyet.cc 7 points 1 year ago

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

Pizza for president!

[–] secret301@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Copythis@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

With my hands.

[–] Facelikeapotato@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Passionately in favour.

Too expensive. Atleast in my country

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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.

[–] Mobiuthuselah@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I don't like it

I FUCKING LOVE IT!!!

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] secret301@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

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

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!

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

[–] teatime@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] redballooon@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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

It’s fine. Not the best food ever, not the worst, just fine.

The nice thing about it is its versatility. You can make a basic cheese&bread comfort food, or do multiple layers of a half dozen toppings, or anything in between. You can make it on traditional crust, or naan, or a lengthwise cut bread loaf, or whatever else.

It’s nowhere near my favorite food, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t just crave it every once in a while.

[–] Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Love that stuff

[–] HIMISOCOOL 3 points 1 year ago

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
