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

    #1. Fuck reddit. #2. Pizza rules. #3. I for sure have had bad pizza that made me sad. There is definitely such a thing as bad pizza. Like I don’t even want to allow the calories from that bad pizza into my body because why would I consume 1500 calories of bad pizza level bad.

    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.

    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.

      Hey, at least it’s a menu option. I get my hopes up whenever I see pizza places boast their allergy accommodations, only to find out that there’s no dairy-free alternatives except “No cheese”

      You know why? Too many people pretend to be gluten intolerant. Now I’m not talking about celiac disease, which actually does permanent damage to your guts if you eat gluten, and I’m assuming you’re afflicted with it, just like half my mother-in-law’s family. I’m not talking about them, I’m talking about the fad dieters.
      Not enough people pretend to be lactose intolerant. The opposite, in fact; My lactose-intolerant wife pretends to be able to process lactose just because it tastes so good.

      When cheese is the most expensive ingredient on a pizza, I don’t feel like I’m getting my money’s worth when I say “No cheese.”
      People suffer to have cheese because it’s so good.

      Apparently they’re willing to deal with crispy cardboard crust to have it.

      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.

    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.

      Is there really bad pizza though, unless it is spoiled? Even shitty pizza is still kinda okay.

        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.
