Don't you live, like, in the north?

@Meowpheel Yeah I do, but I was just talking about Europe as a whole.

...
two throwing stars and one samurai sword!

Don't say the entire Pacific, Octane - it's been a relatively quiet year here in South America in regards to natural disasters. Don't jinx us!

As for California, I really hope they are prepared. I've been hearing that they're due a Big One since, like, forever.

i go for the all meat pizzas.
i see a bunch of people that look like they ate 16 times today already
trying to take all the good pizza.

As long as you leave some Hawaiian for me I'm ok.

I'm offended.

More for me then.

Hamburguers, Pizza, Hotdogs... Pineapple. It goes e v e r y w h e r e.

I need to tell you guys what happened to me at lunch today. Alright, after hitting up the Golden Corral buffet we decided to go to the Pizza Hut buffet. I was going for the all meat pizza, because that's how I roll (literally). Then this bald guy came up and took ALL the good pizza. I had to settle for veggie pizza and cheese pizza and salad. SALAD! Big guys like me can't survive on salad! I don't know how I made it through the rest of the day. We went to the Chinese buffet after that but still... I'm so happy I survived this ordeal.

Ugh. Tomato and olives are the only veggies that should go on a pizza, the rest should be meat.

Cept fish, of course.

My favorite is a Napolitan pizza with some pepperoni added in. If not available, just pepperoni.

If there's no pineapple available, my second favorite is Pizza Margherita.

More pizzas should use basil.

Wait... I have an idea... Pineapple and basil.

I like ham (or Canadian Bacon) and 'shrooms on my Italian pie.

Put green peppers on anything and it's automatically disqualified from my mouth.

Agreed.

Pizza isn't difficult; tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, a tiny bit of dried oregano and olive oil. That's all you need.

So... I went to the gym this morning, someone nicked my water bottle... Great start of the day...

In my opinion not ever should any fruit be eaten warm!

You eat more warm fruits than you realize.

For starters, pizzas often include tomato in a way or another. That's a fruit. A berry to be exact.

That pizza with olives, tomato and peppers? That might as well be a fuit salad. Hm wait, fruit salad au gratin with pomodoro sauce, we may be getting somehwere here...

Botanically speaking tomatoes are fruit, but in most countries tomatoes are officially ruled as vegetables. I call it a vegetable simply because it doesn't go with dessert but each their own I guess Same for peppers (and I rather not have olives on my pizza, bleh)

Apple pie? also no

Tomatoes are eaten in sweet recipes too.

An example with another "vegetable", avocados. In some parts of the world, people can only think of dessert when they hear that name.

@Meowpheel Those people are weird in that case.

I'm certain it has to do with umami or something like that, tomatoes taste umami, they don't belong in desserts

Botanically speaking, tomatoes are fruits, but in cuisine they're vegetables. Too bad English doesn't distinguish between botanical fruits and the common usage of fruits...
