    It’s great hot, and it’s great cold. What’s not to love? It’s quite cheap to make, although not so cheap to have delivered, and it’s one of those meals you can make that uses up leftovers well.

    People who reheat pizza in a microwave will be first against the wall when I am king.

    One of the top 3 inventions of humankind. Up there with fire and the wheel. Maybe penicillin is a close fourth.

      While the concepts you expounded are correct, their order is wrong.

      Pizza did come after fire and wheel, but it is, of course, more important of them as it is encapsulating the concepts of “fire” in its forging and “wheel” in its shape.

      Clearly, pizza represents the pinnacle of human evolution and, if you so desire, you can have it with a topping of penicillin.

      Is fire an invention? I feel like it is something that happens to us wether we like it or not.

    So, I live in Europe right now. And if there’s one thing Italians are great at, it’s opening authentic pizza places all over Europe. So I’m not in Italy, but I’m close enough that I get this REALLY good, authentic Italian pizza. It’s, like, perfectly thin crust, wonderful cheese… It’s heavenly.

    But whenever I visit my family back in Canada, I crave this very old-style pizza that I can only find in my hometown anymore. I’m talking super-thick and fluffy crust my dad would eat with a dab of butter, homemade tomato sauce, thin, salty pepperoni slices the size of saucers, long strips of green bell pepper, and a mountain of greasy cheese that gives the pizza a semi-oblong shape.

    And what can I say… I love them both equally. Pizza is love.

    I’ve had to change my favorite pizza now that heartburn and lactose intolerance have become issues. If you ever feel like changing it up, a pizza with oil, mushrooms, sausage, roasted garlic and parmesan & reggiano is excellent, as well as being easy on acid and lactose free! (Aged cheese doesn’t have lactose)

      I have no problem eating failed pizza either. If it has dough, sauce, and at the very least some cheese I’ll eat it.
