What is this "pizza" you speak of?

Fatty foods + carbohydrates(crust) + tastes really good so you eat lots of it. Usually you have soda with it as well, a shame not too really.

I prefer an ice cold beer with my Pizza, but Rootbeer used to be the thing to drink with pizza when I was a kid.

Anywho, there seems to be a rivalry between Chicago "Deep Dish" Fanatics, and the more traditional "New York" Styles. Both sides seem pretty much firmly entrenched in their beliefs that their pizza is better than the other, actually New Yorkers claim Chicago Style isn't Pizza at all, which of course is vehemently rebuffed by the Deep Dish fans. Nobody is debating whether or not real Italian Pizza is Pizza in America, because it is, it just happens to lack any definable character.

My feelings for mass produced pizza is the same feeling I have for Fast Food, McDonalds is free to call a disgustingly greasy, thin slab of mystery meat a hamburger, so Pizza Hut/Papa Johns is free to call a circular disk shaped object with soured tomato sauce, a light sprinkling of Mozzarella, and whole lotta bacon grease a Pizza, but I fail to see how one could possibly find this to be more appealing than, well, pretty much any small time Pizzeria that actually takes the time and spends a little extra money to make it taste, you know, like it should be consumed.

EDIT:*ok, I need to calm down. had a VERY bad day.

but seriously, the best pizza? there is no such thing as the best pizza. all pizza, so long as it isn't cooked improperly (as in over or undercooked), is good. think about it: they all have lush layers of cheese, tomato sauce, and all sort of toppings. I love to smear my pizza with unhealthy stuff, even pepperoni (when I was in Kuwait-not in the US where its made of pork). and all that with lots of Coke.

besides, what kind of backroom topic gets into pizza?

ok...I need to stop wishing ill on the policy maker. sorry about that-I just lost my card to the 1st national bank's atm (so yes ATM's do steal your money), and when I called them, the workers said that all non 1st national cards get shreded the next day-no exceptions. isn't that great? 500 Dollars down the drain because some moron in the 1st national thought it was a good idea to shred people's cards, and ruin their livelyhood. sick ***.

Mmmmm, Chicago-style pizza. Loves me some deep dish! Lord Whacker approves of The Great Prosimian's OP!

America: Freest Country?

Seriously. I don't even want to try to reconstruct how we got from a debate of "freedom" to pizza, but it probably makes sense in some twisted Backroom sort of way.

I don't go to the backroom (have no access, don't want any), so I asked.

but I get the idea. I don't need to know anymore.
