Is pizza the ultimate food?

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

Be it Italian pizza or Chicago Town pizza, the food is actually pretty classy stuff! Tastes marvellous, very versatile so can cater to many tastes and its potentially quite heathy... a Margherita Pizza is simply dough, tomato and dairy. Can't go far wrong with that! On top of that you can add veggies, meats, all sorts. Agreed, it's not all good, but it's not all bad either

I feel pizza is as healthy or unhealthy as you choose to make it. A thin crust with lots of veggies can be a very good option, whereas a thick crust pizza with lots of processed meats that are high in fat and salt, not so much. Most of mine fall somewhere in the middle, with a medium crust, pepperoni or sausage and some veggies. It’s one food I could eat every day, since there are so many options.

Pizza is definitely my favorite food because of the many options. I've never met a style of pizza I didn't like, though I have met some toppings I don't care for!

Pineapple is open to debate, big time. I love it. But I know many people who think it's a joke.

Me being one of them. I will never get over the combo of tomato sauce and pineapple! I like pizza sauce. I like pineapple. I do not like them together.

my daughter loves pineapple on her pizza.
I love pizza myself. I prefer veggie toppings so that’s what I get at those build your own pizza places. I’m also enjoying the Detroit pizza Restaurant around here. So yummy. You also can’t go wrong with NY style pizza.

Pizza’s one of my favorites. My tastes have changed over the years. I use to like thick pan crust but now I prefer thin crispy. I also don’t care if there’s any meat on it anymore either. I like mushrooms, onions, and green peppers.

My wife won't eat pineapple but loves it on her pizza. Go figure. Just like she hates liver but loves liverwurst.

The problem with pizza is when it's bad, it's really bad. And it's not worth the heartburn. But I can say the same thing for steak.

We love a meat feast pizza with stuffed crust.

Definitely agree with the previous post that when pizza is bad, it's REALLY bad. The worst pizza I've had was in Germany. Not a single place I went to was good. The only thing I miss about living in New Jersey was that the pizza was amazing. I live in Maryland now and it's just not as good.

I can't imagine pizza bad enough for me to not eat. Even the pizza they give the kids in school cafeterias in better than going hungry IMO. I would never choose it over other "good" pizza, but I'd choose it over the other entrees they offered any day!

Jersey definitely has the best pizza. DeLorenzo’s is my favorite.

Yeah. School lunch pizza comes to mind as the worst pizza I have ever encountered, and it's a huge hit with kids.

Ah, sinfully delicious

I love pizza, even though I'm lactose intolerant. Would never call it healthy, though. Even thin crust has a lot of flour in it.

Nah, The ultimate food is exquisitely prepared fresh fish or lobster with garlic butter!

That's why you need to think of the inferior cheap garbage as just that. It's cheap garbage and not pizza.

In the bicycle world, there is a name for bicycles coming out of the big box stores. BSO's or Bike Shaped Objects.

Just like a steak is a cut of beef that is prepared a certain way. Bake it in the air fryer for 20 minutes, you're not preparing a steak, you are cooking a really thin roast. Pizza made out of flavorless dough, canned tomato sauce, and waxy processed shredded and coated cheeses are not going to make a pizza.

These examples are steak shaped foods or pizza shaped foods in my world and don't even get a thought. To me, if you're piling up the toppings inches, that's not pizza, that's an open face sandwich. Pizza is suppose to be a simple dish.

I try to keep my pizza consumption minimal, BUT it is hard for me to find a pizza I don't like
