There are many, many reasons people love pizza.
Notice that I say love, not describing appealing features. I’m talking emotions. Deep, strong emotions. Like love, hate, feelings of comfort and home.
In short, it’s not rational. There are objectively better foods. And good for them.
They can have their micros and macros.
I’ll have a large with extra cheese & pepperoni! 
Now I have feelings of deep desire and passion. Thanks for that.
As with many staple dishes, understanding something’s appeal is often dependent on how that thing is made. If you’ve never had really good pizza, you might not understand the appeal of pizza. Some people like all pizza, which is how places like Dominos and Papa Johns exist (Flame-Free personal opinion: that includes buffet pizza places, which also make shitty pizza), but some people just need to have the real deal. Lots of people like burgers from McDonalds, and some people only want a proper burger. Same concept.
You know who DON’T find this surprising, you NYC-centric monster? People from New Haven.
Although honestly, I shared your take on it until friends from New Haven who’ve lived in NYC since he went to Columbia at 18 (she followed) took me for pizza at the second best place (Modern Apizza), which 100% convinced me. It’s New Haven, CT for “Best Pizza.” One reason it was hard for me to believe before they proved it was that I lived outside Hartford as a teen, and the pizza, for a native New Yorker (which I am, I was born there) was mediocre at best.
Edit:
This is me. I never saw the movie, but in a trailer for Reality Bites was the line “Sex is like pizza; even when it’s pretty bad, it’s still pretty good.” I don’t believe that of sex, but for me it’s true of pizza.
Today is my last day of playing around.
My press has blown up. I hit a rep pr after the 200 weighted pushups yesterday (which I understand isn’t that much for some posters here) but it still doesn’t have the excitement of a squat or deadlift pr
Also I confess that I’ve never been so unmotivated to deadlift, which used to be my favourite
I’m surprised, because it’s an incredibly efficient food. Load all your food groups onto one thing and off you go.
Did you bring your boots, gloves and coat?
Coats and gloves in pgh(didn’t bring them to fl), will have to buy boots over there
IMO, sandwiches are better for that though. They have the benefit of being more compact, taste better lukewarm/cold and less messy to pack
This but nachos
I’m inclined to agree here
The feast your eyes
Pun fully intended
Is that a nacho pizza?
Yup. Local place does it. Even offers it on a keto crust
And on the sandwich talk, for those that grew up in the 90s
It’s not a food court without Sbarro!
It’s like, if you were hanging out with friends and they say “Hey, you wanna order some Sbarro’s?” You would look at them like they were nuts.
But at the mall? Of COURSE you are getting Sbarros.
You can’t be hungry later, when you’re standing in line for Mortal Kombat Ii.
Well yeah: some kid whose uncle works at Nintendo unlocked the nude code last week! I heard from a friend of a friend
A friend of mine worked at one. He would argue ardently that Sbarro was the best pizza in the US, and That’s why they were in food courts all over the country.
It wasn’t even really argument by any sense of the word. More like just bold defiance.
I don’t know much about business, but I know that ain’t right. He was just being a jagoff.
