    I used to belive this fella :,(

    Just this last week, I had the saddest ass Pizza I’ve ever had. My worldview has been shook, now knowing pizza could actually be that bad.

    For me, it’s Pad Thai.

    Large chunks of fried tofu. Get it Thai hot. Halfway through I’m on my second napkin for my runny nose.

    I could eat that every day and never get tired of it.

    This is not pizza’s fault, but I’m limited in what kind of pizza I can eat because I cannot eat gluten. Unfortunately it seems the gluten free industry is content with those god awful thin crusts, whereas I liked pan crust and deep dish style. So I miss real pizza a lot.

      Hey, at least it’s a menu option. I get my hopes up whenever I see pizza places boast their allergy accommodations, only to find out that there’s no dairy-free alternatives except “No cheese”

      You know why? Too many people pretend to be gluten intolerant. Now I’m not talking about celiac disease, which actually does permanent damage to your guts if you eat gluten, and I’m assuming you’re afflicted with it, just like half my mother-in-law’s family. I’m not talking about them, I’m talking about the fad dieters.
      Not enough people pretend to be lactose intolerant. The opposite, in fact; My lactose-intolerant wife pretends to be able to process lactose just because it tastes so good.

      When cheese is the most expensive ingredient on a pizza, I don’t feel like I’m getting my money’s worth when I say “No cheese.”
      People suffer to have cheese because it’s so good.

      Apparently they’re willing to deal with crispy cardboard crust to have it.

      Depends on the pizza for me. Meat on pizza I prefer hot. Veggies/olives pizza (at least takeout pizza) has more flavor to me when it’s cold.

      Is there really bad pizza though, unless it is spoiled? Even shitty pizza is still kinda okay.

        Vegan pizzas can taste downright vile. Had one that used some rubbery cheese substitute with saitan pepperoni and it took all my will to finish the slice. I’m sure vegan food can be good but it’s definitely easy to fuck it up too.

    One of my favourite pizzas is the ones I had in school breaks/lunch. The base was a bit spongey, the cheese had hardened on top, and it had a sprinkling of herbs.
    By all means it is low quality, but whenever I get a cheap pizza slice like it I’m genuinely a bit happier.

    As great as pizza is, it still makes me feel & look like a fat greasy hag afterwards. Pizza is no unconditional hero.

        I like broccoli, but I tried broccoli on pizza when I was living in New England. I guess it’s popular there. It’s also disgusting. The broccoli flavor is way too overpowering.

    Not for me. I think if I ate pizza every time i felt down/sad/depressed I’d start to associate pizza with that feeling and not be able to enjoy pizza anymore when I’m happy

      i beg to differ. I use pie (not pizza pie) as a “shit i’m having a bad month let’s turn it around” food. i have for decades. unfortunately my patronage alone wasn’t enough to keep the local pie shoppe open so i have to get storebought or travel now (i don’t have energy to bake pie on days that bad). pie continues to make me happier, regardless of the situation.

        Hell yeah brother, im glad for you. I’ve yet to find a non-dairy cheese that I personally enjoy. The cashew nut based ones are the only ones that imitate cheese texture very well imo, but I strongly dislike the taste of cashew so those are a non-starter for me

          I was a massive cheese love before going non dairy but I’ve never fully understood peoples gripe with non dairy cheese. If any were different I just chalk it up like a different variant of cheese. Dairy cheese come in all different flavours and textures too. Like red leicester vs cheddar vs Gloucester vs wensleydale. All are different, some more so than others. I think trying to find a non dairy cheese to replace a specific kind you liked is always going to be troublesome. Some non dairy cheese don’t help themselves but calling themselves “cheddar style” etc though so they give people that expectation from the bat.

          I find for pizzas as long as they’re meltable (which most are nowadays anyway) I can get away with, it’s then just having different flavours depending on which one I’ve got in the fridge on the day. Some times I’ll have a pre-grated “mozzarella”-like or sometimes it’s just a block of tescos own nondescript “cheddar” style cheese.

          I think most that I end up feeling are coconut oil based, but that’s just because it seems to be the standard. I sometimes get artisan cashew cheese but that’s more for having on crackers or digestives though.
