Altoona-style pizza originated at the Altoona Hotel, which was noted as serving "a unique pizza" in 1996 by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Following the destruction of the hotel in 2013 by fire, other local restaurants began serving Altoona-style pizza.
Oh, they tried but took too long and the infection spread.

absolutely fucking not
While originally topped with Velveeta, Altoona-style pizza is popularly topped with yellow processed cheese known as American cheese.
A.k.a melted plastic.
Ehrm.... :
Processed cheese typically contains around 50–60% cheese and 40–50% other ingredients.
I will only accept American in two places, albeit mostly for nostalgia/vibes; burger/patty melt, and grilled cheese.
And even in those applications you can do a lot better for the melty cheese factor - hell even provolone or swiss is a solid upgrade.
Its good in a grilled cheese! I don't want fancy or even nice for grilled cheese. I want melty, fat melty, slightly oily, easy to eat like 3 of then in a go at 4am!
Cmon Linus, we all know it’s you
This looks like a crime
Crikey. I’m from NY and this was the worst pizza abomination I’d seen until now. And yes it’s disgusting. St Louis style pizza
Take one of those, throw the ingredients on haphazzardly so they're not evenly distributed at all, then burn it to a crisp. Congratulations you just made the new haven style pizza that people from Connecticut pretend they like out of hometown pride
YUMMY RIGHT???
:<
So fucking nasty.
Yeah the pizza isn't great, either
"..topped with American cheese.."
Fuck. Right. Off.
“Hello, r/pizzacrimes? I’d like to report a murder.”
Altoona would be a good candidate for Nuclear Whipping Boy
WHO LETS THE AMERICAN INVENT FOOD! THATS IT NO KITCHENS FOR AMERICANS ANYMORE!
Kill it with fire!
