Especially considering that by "American pizza" they're claiming they meant "North American pizza."
Only if you're eating weak, inferior "New York pizza."
But if you were "a true pizza lover," you wouldn't subject yourself to that.
The only good thick pizza is grandma. Everyone knows that!

There's a middle ground between weak and floppy, and "thick."
That middle ground is where most good pizzas exist.

Please provide me with your address so that I may stop by for a slice.

Let me guess - you also meant "North America," right? Since the OP is in Canada.
There is one chain, Papa Johns, that gives dipping sauce because their pizza is so bland.
If someone wants toppings there are plenty.

get a real pizza OP.
Like this one:
Two different kinds of pepperoni. Who knew it would taste so good?

You cant fold this.
Here is the literal best pizza in the literal entire world from an objective standpoint (New Haven Connecticut's Modern Apizza, best of the famous 3 between it, Pepe's, and Sally's):
Do not talk shit about this pizza. Looks are deceiving. It may look burnt and plain/bland but it is not. Rather, it is in fact 100% deliciousness realized as apizza. Anyone else who has had it can testify to this axiomatic truth (i.e., this pizza will destroy any pizza you post here).
That being said, a personal fave of mine in the Sicilian / Grandma style pizza categories is Illiano's Sicilian pie:
Pizza Pizza is honestly awful, but it's cheap and convenient for most people and dips will certainly help mask the poor quality (as OP mentioned later on in the thread). I'm a Pizza Nova man myself, so dips aren't usually necessary unless I'm forced to settle. Pizza Pizza also has a decent selection of sides compared to other chains in my area - which helps with catering for larger groups of people - but we all usually agree the pizza is awful and it was worth it just for the jalapeno poppers.
Also, smh at people blaming Americans for this. Let us Canadians take the L on Pizza Pizza

The first one looks odd but the second delicious. I hope to try both someday.
I have actually never had New York pizza so I only make fun of it for fun. Here in Chicago we usually get thin Aurelios or another local thin. The pan is every once once in a while. My heart wants to live past 50.

I just got myself some pizza because of this thread. Baby spinach, crumbled meatball, onion and pepperoni. Square pizza! With a crunchy, delicious crust. No dipping sauce here.

You guys are making me really sad that the last couple time I've had pizza was from Pizza Hut, Little Caeser's and CiCi's. It's rough without a car and in greater Orlando to really find a decent place, and I don't trust most natives tastes would match up with mine.
Still frustrated from when people tried telling me CiCi's was good.

here's my conundrum, gaf.
it's 10pm local time here. usually go to bed around 11. also have eaten close to 2k calories today, and my daily allotment should be around 2.5k calories.
but i'm also a little hungry and craving pizza with garlic dipping sauce because of this thread. but i don't want to order a pizza, eat like two slices and end up with an entire pizza in the fridge for tomorrow. either i commit or i don't.
should i order the pizza or not, gaf.

Pizza Pizza is literally only good for curing hangovers, and that's only if you can avoid the heartburn.
The first one looks like an actual pizza. Fuck. Now I want pizza.
I had pizza last night...
As for the OP. If you need dipping sauce to enjoy a pizza, then find a better pizza place.
I do enjoy some ranch or wing sauce with my pizza when I visit family in the States but here in Europe it's neither a thing nor is it really necessary.
There are enough great

Stop eating cardboard pizza that requires dip
what the fuck is this garbage. dipping sauce? for pizza? jesus christ. seriously I live in a small town that has shit quality pizza (in the grand scheme of things) and nearly all of our pizza is good enough o eat without dipping it. Also, dipping? wtf? do you just like poke the point of the wedge into a tiny little cup of sauce? wtf? fuck?

Eat better pizza
Ridiculous, there's tons of delicious pizza with more toppings
All this talk of alternative pizza makes me want to hurl. A masterful pizza only needs crust, sauce and cheese. Anyone who would sully a gorgeous pie like this with extraneous nonsense needs their taste buds adjusted.

Someone shat on your pizza, buddy.
Nah apparently everything weird is from the US
Do people actually like pizza without toppings though? Like everyone I know that eats cheese pizza only does it because they don't eat meat or something
If you have not eaten "junk" in 7 days, do it. Enjoy. If you have, wait a couple of days.

This looks amazing, easily the best looking pizza in this thread.

The pizzas in this thread all look rather terrible. A pizza should look like this.

I feel like an outcast here; garlic dipping sauce turns a 10/10 pizza into an 11/10 pizza.

Why would you not simply get them to squeeze fresh garlic on your pizza?
which is probably why theyre dipping them in sauce lol
The only pizzas I would consider adding sauce to are frozen pizzas(I dont "dip it" though, I just pour some hot sauce on that bitch).
If you order good pizza there should be absolutely zero reason to add sauce.

I spent a weekend in Manhattan a few years back while my dad was there on business. The first night we stopped into some random pizza place we happened to walk past. With no point of reference I have no idea if a New Yorker would have considered it great pizza but I'll be damned if it wasn't the best slice I've had in my entire life.
youd be hard pressed to find a bad pizza spot in NYC unless you walk into a chain like Dominos, Pizza Hut or Sbarros.

This topic reminds me of that episode of Garfield and Friends where Garfield gets the Buddy Bears and a room of adults to all argue over pizza toppings.
(lol I never noticed before that the one who suggests "anchovies and pineapple" is the one complaining about it in the next scene)
