@New_Guest me too. We call it new Hawaiian.

And now I’m hungry 😋

Pizza Pizza! (TM Little Caesar’s ((pre hot n ready))

@Woomy_NNYes - I love ham, pineapple, and pizza, but none of them together. I think we’re pretty evenly split around here. We do our best to get along, but, obviously, we eat in separate conference rooms during pizza parties. It’s really the only time that this divide between right (no pineapple) and wrong (pineapple) rears its ugly head.

@New_Guest I’ll need to try that 😀

@bimmy-lee Well, to be fair to the "boomer blamers", it probably counts just as much as us generalizing and calling people hipsters or millennials, so in a way, I get it. Doesn't mean I like it, though.

On a side note: who says that we don't care about your thoughts on the gender discussion? I can only speak for myself, obviously, but as long as you're no extremist in either direction, any opinion or point of view is welcome, in ANY discussion or topic, far as I'm concerned.

And as for your discussion with Zuljaras: I kind of got to know you, so I'd vouch for you as being good people, but obviously sometimes how other people interpret our comments is how we come across, and if I wouldn't have known you, then a comment like "nobody cares about your political beliefs" could have been interpreted in several ways, amongst which also a rather hostile one, basically telling me to shut up.

So, perhaps that was part of the discussion: interpretation, as it so often is. And instead of in normal face to face discussions, we then have to spend an extra two or three comments on explaining all that away, etcetera, etcetera... Anyway, I'm sure you'll get the point. Not a criticism, just an observation, mind you.

@Woomy_NNYes I never have ham on my pizza Hawaii. I always let them replace the ham with salami or pepperoni. I prefer the wider variety of taste between sweet and slightly spicy over the rather tame or only slightly salted taste of ham. Of course, there's various kinds of ham, but they'll never be pepperoni...

Honey Chicken Pizza from Pizza Hut, everyone ? 😛

This was the last year special menu.

@Anti-Matter I won't order anything from Pizza Hut anymore since they have something against where I live.

Pizza talk?!?! Who summoned me????

Good grief....I'm out/busy with CPR/med training for the whole morning and the thread blows up. What happened?

Edit: At least I understand pizza!

@bimmy-lee Depending on when my mother would pick me up, i easily spent 1 1/2 to 2 hours down there on average, depending on the bus schedule for the year. They didn't have very many SNES games, but most of the ones that were there are classics. I don't recommend Captain Novolin though; that was a pretty meh edutainment game. XD

I'm sure Bimily would love Babe. There were plenty of Disney and Don Bluth animal films that I enjoyed (and still do, for the most part) back in the day.

I love how things devolved from current political hot buttons, in a contraband but actually productively civil and engaging way to awkward talk about tropical fruit and pizza as everyone shuffles around looking at the ceiling.....

Assuming pineapple on pizza is not a hot button topic.

Anyway, why don't we talk about Pokemon instead.

Here's my 2 cents regarding best pizzas. Take it from me, I've had it all over the world 😉

1)Chicago style deep dish
1.5) digiorno frozen pie
2)Napolitano style Italy
3)Chicago tavern style thin crust
4)new York style
5) Detroit style deep dish

I will now sit back and watch as this thread burns to a crisp

@ThanosReXXX - I probably could have found a more respectful way to choose my words, but I have a bad habit of mirroring the respect that’s being given. As a straight, old, white dude, I don’t really feel I have the experience necessary to comment on a lot of today’s hot button topics, pineapple on pizza aside. I would say it can be confusing trying to understand some of these things (such as gender fluidity), but I also feel it’s not necessarily my duty to understand, but accept, and I enjoy challenging my prior convictions with new ways of thinking.

@Tyranexx - Haha, Cap’n Novolin absolutely sounds like an exceptionally boring edutainment game! I’m going to have to do a google search later to see it in action. It better be 60fps though. No reason it shouldn’t.

@NintendoByNature - You forgot Digiornio on your list. I’m guessing it would be first, second at worst. I know you gotta rep deep dish, please don’t hate me, but I think it’s just a tad overrated. I’m shielding myself from punches. It’s pizza, so it’s all great, but I’d probably put NY/BK folding slices at my top spot. If it’s deep dish that can still be picked up and eaten by hand, I’m in, but I don’t like when it’s excessively saucy and has to be eaten with a fork.

@bimmy-lee Hawaiian pizza is terrific, though the quality of the ham makes a huge difference! Actually making pizza for dinner tonight, grilled chicken & bacon specifically. Awesome combo!!

@bimmy-lee original post edited for you my friend 😋. I think you hit the nail on the head though. All pizza is good, for the most part. There's very few Zza's I'll pass on. And fine... fine... I won't pitchfork you for not liking Chicago style. It's all preference. I just prefer it over others but I love ALL of it. But if you ever come to Chicago, I'll have to take you to my spots to show you deep dish I prefer. I may even change your mind.

Here's a top 3 for me(hoping the link works). Mouth is watering just thinking of it. Look at that sausage patty. And they cut into squares so you don't need a knife and fork. Not to mention it's 5 min from the house. So I order there often.

Oh and thats Walter Paytons daughter. Figured you'd like that tidbit..

Done right (not with regular tomato sauce, plz no), I've found my favorite pizza is probably steak and cheese. Also bonus points for brick oven pizza, great stuff.

@ThanosReXXX Are potatoes a Netherlands thing? I didn't know you lived there or that that was a thing. Potatoes are just my go to example when I start spouting nonsense. XD

@NintendoByNature Ive had that famous Detroit pizza from Buddy's? by Plymouth MI. I'm an east-coaster but that square deep dish style pizza is amazing.

@Woomy_NNYes I haven't had Detroit deep IN Detroit. Just imitators like jets but I do love that style. It's sooooo good.

I used to work at Pizza Hut when I was in university, and if they paid well and gave good hours, I might still be there. It was honestly a really fun job, but the pay was crap and the hours insulting.

Still, pineapple on pizza is annoying because it's one of the toppings that's very easy to ruin a pizza with. It's just too juicy.

On the other hand, I once had someone call in and order a "pizza" with no sauce, no cheese and only sausage. In other words, cooked pizza dough with bits of sausage in the box. In the box because there was nothing to keep them on the "pizza". Probably the only time I broke the rules and said "Sir, are you sure that's what you want?"

My friend thinks the person was ordering it as a joke for someone, which seems likely.
