I never order pizza. I'm a healthy person with six-pack abs but dangit my doctor told me yesterday a recent breast biopsy came back malignant so I have to get surgery next week 😭, So we can all try our damndest to be healthy, but cancer doesn't discriminate.
I’ve made a lot of pizza in my day and it’s damn near impossible to avoid grease.
It comes from the pepperoni and cheese and anything else fatty that you top it with.
Are you saying good pizza is made with ingredients that don’t have fatty grease? You’d have to use low fat cheese, etc. To me that isn’t “good” pizza.
As for pizzas I get from restaurants I’ve never had one that didn’t have at least some grease in the pizza box. This is coming from someone that lives in the NY area where pretty much all pizza there is gourmet authentic pizza and not franchise pizza like dominos.
I think our definitions of good pizza are way different.
Good pizza should have some grease to it, otherwise the ingredients are questionable.
Are you saying good pizza is made with ingredients that don’t have fatty grease?
You can make pizza with cheese and fat containing toppings that doesn't have so much of those ingredients that the fat is soaking through the crust into the bottom of the box or (probably more commonly) is draining off the top of the pizza onto the box. I think we may be running up against different ideas of what it means to declare a food greasy.
Good point but if you work in a pizza restaurant you’ll realize almost NO ONE orders pizza without cheese. There is the very rare order it happens but it’s extremely rare.
So technically you are right but in practicality you are way off.
However with a burger it’s the meat that is greasy. Not so much the cheese. So unless you’re having a non-beef burger (not really a burger) it’s going to be greasy no matter what you put on it.
True, restaurant/delivery pizza - even vegan options - are almost universally super oily.
Non-meat burgers are most definitely burgers, and do have the benefits of not only having more variety, but are easily made to be actually healthy if desired.
The pizza in general looks nasty. Too small in diameter, too much dough for the toppings, too much grease. I've had frozen pizza that looked better than this abomination.
Agreed. This is your run of the mill franchise pizza. It’s all garbage imo compared to real authentic pizza.
Sadly most people have never experienced authentic pizza because out west it’s all franchise pizza. You gotta come to the east coast for the good stuff.
You really don't. You can get all kinds of regional cuisines outside the regions they originated and became popular, pizza styles being perhaps the most ubiquitous.
Just completely ignoring the unique beauty that is Midwest/Chicago/tavern style thin crust pizza. Or Detroit style pizza. Or any of the other various and delicious regional styles in the dozens of states between the coasts. Nope, the only pizza that exists is west coast franchises, and the '''real''' stuff on the east coast.
Open yourself up to new experiences man, the world of pizza is wide and wild, and a ton of fun if you let loose of your elitist "the only '''real''' pizza is east coast pizza" schtick.
When I go to Detroit or Chicago I’ll be enthusiastic to try it. Never said I was against it. As long as it’s a legit restaurant and not dominos or some franchise shit.
But I am happy to shit on franchise pizza because it sucks in comparison to what you listed, or the east coast. Which is the entire point.
Feel free to disagree. I don’t care because my taste buds know the difference.
