"Pizza" without a modifier should refer to Neopolitan style pizza which proliferated outside Italy in New York City. Despite countless perfectly fine regional variations, this is the One True Pizza, and when discussing pizza or arguing about pizza, pizza eaters in the U.S. especially should always humbly defer to experienced NYC metro area pizza eaters and keep their broken provincial tastes to themselves, fight me

New York ok, but Italy still knows how to make them the best

I've had a lot of great pizza in Italy, but not as consistently good as NY/NJ/CT
― Yanni Xenakis (Hadrian VIII), Saturday, 13 June 2020 01:40 (four years ago) link
It's plain to see there aren't any Italians on this board. You wouldn't dare.

Neanderthal is half-Italian, quarter-Sicilian
all dumb

I do like a sicilian pizza
― Yanni Xenakis (Hadrian VIII), Saturday, 13 June 2020 01:52 (four years ago) link
I'm still unclear on how Detroit style is different from Sicilian. They seem just about the same to me.

Detroit pizza has pieces of Officer Murphy in it

Sfincione is *kisses fingers*
I'm 1/8th italian, never been to NY but instinctively recoil at notion that pizza is better anywhere outside of Italy

The One True Pizza is made by Edmonton-based chain Boston Pizza.

J/k, it's mediocre crap that my parents like but there is no One True Pizza according to my postmodern neo-Marxist culinary perspective.xp

I went to a Boston pizza recently and they had a magician going round the tables doing tricks

The "Virtuoso"
I'm endlessly fascinated that, of all the foreign branding they could have conceivably chosen, they decided to associate themselves with the city of Boston, no doubt because of its legendary reputation for pizza.xps

First time I visited Vancouver I was perplexed by Boston pizza,I then took a trip down to Portland and saw a Papa Murphy's pizza. "Do these folk think pizza is irish?" I thought

tbf the best pizza i've ever had may have been in montreal

For real? Do tell. I had better pizza in NYC fwiw, but I'm hardly a connoisseur to begin with.

Papa John is German I think. Chuck E Cheee, too.
― Yanni Xenakis (Hadrian VIII), Saturday, 13 June 2020 02:07 (four years ago) link
And speaking of Montreal, I'd never heard of Boston Pizza before but we've apparently got two locations, both of which are out of the way as far as I'm concerned.
Haha xp to jim

The late 2010s-early 2020s growing estimation of Detroit pizza will not be a passing fad. It is only the beginning.

my west coast millennial relatives/friends have a very different concept of pizza, they are more interested in unusual ingredients / expansion of the concept, it's not my thing but maybe that is the future of pizza

Jordan Peterson says pineapple doesn't belong on pizza so I guess I have to like it now.

If you are accustomed to thinking about neurodiversity issues and have to juggle a lot of acronyms in your head on a daily basis, it’s OK if your “system 1” thinking (in kahneman-tversky nomenclature) frequently jumps from “BIPOC” to “bipolar indigenous people of color” and you have to practice the proper expansion to ensure you don’t fuck it up and look like a crazy asshole

You can’t talk to me about acronym problems until you know how to pronounce “time phased force deployment data” in two syllables

And/or help me with pronouncing “quality service management organization” in two syllables- it’s quiz-mo or kyu-smo, I think
