How do you feel about pizza?

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.

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.

you can have it with a topping of penicillin

I think I know why you're constipated

Eating pizza with an accidental dose of penicillin tends to have the opposite effect on me.

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

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

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.

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

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

One of the foods that I love most!

How does pizza feel about me?

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)

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

Honey on pizza is a gamechanger

I bought a frozen pizza at target and was baffled that a packet of spicy honey was included in the box. But then I tried it...

I agree. Total game changer.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Scales well from "Quick, cheap and filling" to a high effort meal depending on how much effort you want to put in.

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.

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.

I enjoy eating pizza, but I prefer tacos.
