Toppings: Which Are the Grossest?

1. Anchovies
2. Pineapple
3. Broccoli
4. Olives
5. Chicken

What's your typical style for eating pizza?

Eat it flat - 43%
Fold it - 38%
Knife and fork - 19%

 

[Rorschach]

Chicken can't be bad. You just can't mess up chicken too bad unless you burn it.

 

[Advance_Alarm]

only farmers eat pizza with their hands wtf is this shit

 

[Musan]

Italians eat traditional pizza with a fork and knife. Learned that watching a No Reservations episode. Thing is, pizza is such an American product nowadays that eating by hand is universal.

The white meat chicken typically used can taste dried out.

I just don't like to eat chicken that way. I like it on the bone, with crispy skin.

It's not gross, but to me, lean skinless chicken breast feels like a diet ingredient or something.

 

[Mr. Hyde]

Chicken is fine on pizza but it can dry out depending on how you cook it. I usually sprinkle some mozzarella over the chicken when I do it. It's not as bad when the chicken is covered in some sort of marinade, though. $16.00 is normal price for specialty pizzas these days. Hell, I make pizza at whole foods and ours start at $14.99 for the first topping and then it's a dollar per topping. You would be amazed at how many orders we get during my shift. And olives being number three? I mostly eat vegetarian and I love a good mushroom/spinach pizza or olives and mushrooms. Kalamata olives are good but I prefer sliced black olives on my pizza, usually. Kalamata is good on a Greek style pizza.

Love seeing deep-dish all the way down at number 4.

Nobody wants your glorified lasagna abomination, Chicago. Nobody.

 

[gatti-man]

Now this is my kindof thread. I run a gattis pizza.

For those that wonder pizza has become expensive because cheese price has gone up around 300% the last 7 years wholesale. Pretty sad.

 

[BannedEpisode]

Pepperoni + (Mushroom or Jalapeno)

Depends on how spicy Im feelin'

 

[Particle Physicist]

1. A deep-dish pizza that's too big to eat with your hands is not pizza.

2. Eating pizza with knife and fork is like eating cookies or sandwiches with a knife and fork. You just don't do it!

You have never had true deep dish.

you are now on my ignore list! >(

One of these days, I'll figure out what people have against anchovies.

They are whole tiny salty fish that smell quite pungent and are conflicting with most people's flavor palette.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

thank god that the real pizza, thin crust, comes out over that abomination of a lasgana in disguise

 

[edible_candle]

Neapolitan > Chicago deep dish > New York style

Also, as a midwesterner, I don't understand this fork and knife nonsense. But cold pizza for breakfast is awesome.

 

[alphaNoid]

It says west price is like $16 but i never pay more than $9 for an extra large.

 

[Death Dealer]

But cold pizza for breakfast is awesome.

I like leftover pizza for breakfast but I always have to warm it up. Cold pizza, mainly because of the cheese, is unappetizing for me. Pizza cheese has to be hot or it's not pizza to me. Weird I know.

 

[Avixph]

It's the only true pizza in the U.S.

 

[VeryGooster]

Long live thin crust.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

Thin crust, deep dish, I don't give a fuck. All that matters is that it's soft and greasy as fuck.

No justice in this world, absolutely none.

 

[Clipse]

Chicken and olives on the grossest toppings list? Wtf am I reading?

 

[krameriffic]

Chicken can't be bad. You just can't mess up chicken too bad unless you burn it.

Chicken is an incredibly dry and bland meat in and of itself. You gotta season the hell out of it or douse it in sauce to get any taste from it. On a pizza, it just saps the life out of it. You need some good greasy ass meats on their like sausage and pepperoni, not boring lean meats like chicken.

 

[Orayn]

Black olives are sacrosanct. Seriously. Those, green peppers, and onions are not up for debate.

 

[BY2K]

I got those today.

Alfredo Sauce
Cheese (Mozzarella)
Feta Cheese
Chicken
Mushrooms
Beef

Traditional-style sauce
Pepperoni
Bacon
Italian Sausage
Cheese (Cheddar)

 

[ShinNL]

You guys are so Americanized :O

Wow @ the amount of reactions of using a fork and knife for a pizza.

Eating a pizza with a fork and knife is like eating rice with chopsticks. Think about it.

Green olives are better.

I eat rice with a fork.

Too lazy to pull out the chopsticks

overrated, slow, and lacking both in ease of use and tactile sensation?

*is indian, eats rice with hands also*


pineapple on pizza is sacrilege, just stop

 

[Kitsunebaby]

Green olives are better.

In a martini, maybe. I love all olives but black olives are far better on a pizza.


And personally I'd rather eat everything with my hands, save for maybe soup.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

My diet is fitness focused. It's almost entirely lean protein and vegetables. I don't miss most of the garbage that used to make up my diet.

Fucking pizza is the exception. Goddamn it, is there anything as delicious as a big old slice of perfectly cooked NY style pizza?

edit:



Whaaaaaaaaaa. Hawaiian for life.

I like anchioves and pineapple pizza

 

[XiaNaphryz]

*is indian, eats rice with hands also*

South and southeast asians in general don't seem to mind eating rice with their hands.

 

[vaelic]

I miss nj boardwalk pizza

 

[Psychoward]

When made right, chicken on/in a pizza is one of the best things ever.

 

[gblues]

I'll never understand people who fold their pizza. What's the rush? I eat my pizza flat because I like to take some time and enjoy the taste of it.

Folding your pizza makes it less likely you'll scald the roof of your mouth. Also helps keep the marinara off your chin.

 

[Mr. F]

I wonder how the people surveyed feel about BBQ sauce on their pizza?

A lot of my friends think it's gross, but every once in a while a thin-crust pizza with BBQ sauce, grilled chicken, green peppers, and mushrooms is too good to pass up.

 

[User 85168]

I don't understand this hate on fork and knife. Chicago style is the best!

It's just that the oil companies are pushing their agenda.

 

[Jarmel]

People who never used a fork and knife for pizza never had good deep dish.

Indeed. Deep dish is godly.

 

[Mistle]

Saw Pineapple on grossest and was like "what"? Then saw chicken and was like "WHAT?"

 

[TheKaeptain]

When I lived in Germany you could always tell who were Americas when in a pizza joint. Duck forks and knifes when it comes to pizza.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

When eating in a restaurant, I will eat with a knife and fork, everyone I know does, it's rude not to.
When having pizza ordered in at home, I will use my hands

UK BTW

 

[Wallach]

Thin crust pizza is disgusting. Our founding fathers would weep if they could see what we've become.

Thin crust at the top where it should be.

You're crazy. Deep dish pizza is an abomination. Bigger is not better.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Thin base + thick crust is the best Pizza

 

[The Faceless Master]

i confess, i've used a knife and fork on occasion. mainly when i used to get the crazy jumbo sized toppings from Anna Maria Pizza in Williamsburg.

 

[Valnen]

Linguica is waaaay better than pepperoni. Just my opinion. Shame only the expensive places offer it.

People who never used a fork and knife for pizza never had good deep dish.

I'm sure I could still eat it with my bare hands.

 

[Defuser]

Once a week? 4.3 times a month? This is the real crime here.

I'm lucky to get a few slices once a month. Probably for the best...

As much as I love our pizza here in the East Coast, one of the best pizzas I've had was a super thin and moderately spicy variant from a small family place in Columbus, Ohio. I always forget the name of the place. My parents remember it. That shit was goooooooooood.

Although I loathe fast food pizza (Pizza Hut deserves it's own circle of Hell, honestly), Papa John's thin crust isn't so bad, for what it is.

 

[FoxSpirit]

You americans are just pigs. Fork & Knife 4 eva!!

Except when you have takeout or delivery, then you slice and hand, but when eating in a proper Pizzeria? No way, Jóse.
