Topic: Pizza appreciation thread

I feel like certain elements have, recently, given pizza a bad name. As a pizza fan, this saddens me. It should be appreciated as the comfy treat that it is. Let's appreciate pizza ITT. Thanks!Meta !Sober//iZs joined in and replied with this 5 years ago, 2 minutes later[^] [v] #1,140,391
I think it's been unjustly sullied by Pizzagate ?

When I'm down a 'Spoons, nothing other than a pepperoni pizza with mushrooms shall do. A 'Spoons pizza and some cheeky beers is, for me, simply the pinnacle of a night out.
One small complaint, though, you have to cut it up yourself with a serrated knife. Apparently people kept nicking their pizza cutters. They could still take a few moments to cut it themselves in the kitchen, though...

In Naples I had pizza fritta - deep-fried pizza. It wasn't at all the disgusting greasy mess that the name conjures up. It was delicious.
I also had Roman pizza, with white beans on it. That was interesting. Not my favourite but I see the appeal.

Upon googling, it seems the bean pizza is a specialty of this one pizzeria in Rome. I'm glad I chanced upon it.

I don't think it's necessarily a UK thing. My local takeaway delivers it pre-sliced.
Pizza Express, though (big chain restaurant here), also makes you slice it yourself. But at least they give you a pizza cutter.

I imagine they have pissed off a lot of Americans ??
Cutting your own pizza is limited to frozen pizzas in America. The idea the customer would have to cut their own pizza is just... barbaric.

You have to hold it still with your hand to cut it properly and ensure it retains authenticity, that combined with the fact it's an awful ballache to clean it afterwards makes it an unattractive solution when they can just give you a knife.

I really like pizza! Although I am no connoisseur, my personal favorite pizza place is Pagliacci's. I would go there with my dad every Monday night before my weekly Boy Scouts meeting.

A man, down on his luck, visits a therapist. He has been sullied by Bertposts and Pizzagate and whatever around him brings pizza down. The therapist recommends Pagliacci's - their deepdish is quite delectable, they say. The man tells the doctor, "I am pagliacchi........"

I like anchovies occasionally, and sometimes pineapple.
My favorite normal toppings are mushrooms, onion, and sausage.
I also sometimes like green olives or banana peppers

You're absolutely right about the pineapple. I like a ham and pineapple myself, sometimes. No idea why pineapple on pizzas is "controversial".

Pineapple goes well on several kinds of pizza. Particularly with jalapeno, it adds a nice contrast to the heat.
