Pizza absolutely hurt me when I couldn't wait to eat it after it came fresh out of the oven.

Was that the pizza, or your own unbridled enthusiasm?
Definitely the pizza. My enthusiasm isn't that hot.
it can be two things
I used to belive this fella :,(
Just this last week, I had the saddest ass Pizza I've ever had. My worldview has been shook, now knowing pizza could actually be that bad.
You probably shouldn't be eating ass pizzas
Just ass no pizzas
Exactly. Choose a direction and stick to it

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
For me, it's Pad Thai.
Large chunks of fried tofu. Get it Thai hot. Halfway through I'm on my second napkin for my runny nose.
I could eat that every day and never get tired of it.

used to know someone who preferred pizza cold. they would buy takeout pizza from dominos or whatever and put it in the fridge to have cold a few hours later
At least they don't have to care as much if the delivery is late
Nah room temperature pizza is not the same as pizza from the fridge
Yeah, but if you're just sticking it in the fridge anyway it's less of an issue.
Depends on the pizza for me. Meat on pizza I prefer hot. Veggies/olives pizza (at least takeout pizza) has more flavor to me when it's cold.
yea ok i think they were vegetarian so its possible
If that’s how they like it, okay, but I’ll grab my slices BEFORE they go in the fridge, thank you.
This is not pizza’s fault, but I’m limited in what kind of pizza I can eat because I cannot eat gluten. Unfortunately it seems the gluten free industry is content with those god awful thin crusts, whereas I liked pan crust and deep dish style. So I miss real pizza a lot.
I mean, you're probably aware of this at some level, but fluffy dough is a problem in general, because gluten is the glue that normally traps the CO2 bubbles produced by the yeast.
They are reasonably successful with making somewhat-fluffy bread, but I'm guessing the thicker dough and not having toppings, which bring in moisture, helps a lot.
Having said all that, I'm also surprised that we haven't found an alternative glue yet.

I wish those Italians from a few centuries ago could read this.
What about bad pizza? That shit sends me straight into a depression spiral.
Is there really bad pizza though, unless it is spoiled? Even shitty pizza is still kinda okay.
Even the Ninja Turtles knew when to pass on it:
"Do you like...penicillin on your pizza?"
Ever eaten gluten free pizza?
Vegan pizzas can taste downright vile. Had one that used some rubbery cheese substitute with saitan pepperoni and it took all my will to finish the slice. I'm sure vegan food can be good but it's definitely easy to fuck it up too.
As I've said for years, there's nothing sadder than an empty pizza box
See what happens when Brendan Fraser eats pizza? He used to be healthy & sexy.
One of my favourite pizzas is the ones I had in school breaks/lunch. The base was a bit spongey, the cheese had hardened on top, and it had a sprinkling of herbs.
By all means it is low quality, but whenever I get a cheap pizza slice like it I'm genuinely a bit happier.
That, but Blåhajar.
Pizza has taken 2+ hours to arrive and shows up burnt, under cooked, or sloppy. Pizza absolutely has disappointed me unfortunately.
But, is that actually the pizza’s fault, or the pizza places fault??
Don’t put people problems on pizza! 😤

Tfw you feel this way about pizza but wake up one day in your late 20s and are suddenly lactose intolerant x.x
Just use hard cheese like gouda, emmentaler etc. - you can make it yourself or buy deepfreeze pizza with that (they usually disclose the type of cheese they use). And most deepfreeze pizzas here contain so little cheese that even the ones based on mozzarella aren't really an issue unless your reaction to lactose resembles an allergy more closely than an intolerance.

Not for me. I think if I ate pizza every time i felt down/sad/depressed I'd start to associate pizza with that feeling and not be able to enjoy pizza anymore when I'm happy
Counter it, by eating pizza every time you're happy and joyous

I made pizza today because of this post. I do have my pizza game dialed in, I'm just too lazy to do it most days.
