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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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
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 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.
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.
