Thread reminds me of the āPizza Scaleā discussion that happens early into Night in the Woods, saddened that so many people have found themselves near the bottom of the Y axis on this one.

My wife and I enjoyed an edible once and ordered a pizza. The pizza was so incredibly bad that we didnāt even finish it. Mind you, we were stoned, and we couldnāt finish it due to itās terrible quality.
I have a theory that the delivery driver ate our pizza and cheesy bread (which was litterally white bread with slices of provolone melted on top) and replaced them with a half baked frozen pizza and whatever bread and cheese he had around.
That, or Tommyās Pizza in Columbus Ohio really really sucks

Eating while on edibles is such a hit or miss because I feel like being high makes me pay more attention to the texture of things and sometimes certain foods donāt pass that vibe check. Have to be very selective as a result. Have had it happen with Pizza unfortunately.

I had Hawaiian pizza from a place twice in one week a couple weeks ago. I hadnāt had a slice of ham and pineapple in probably 7 or 8 years. But somehow a couple slices shared with coworkers led to me ordering an entire pie at home later that week, amd now writing this comment is making me think about it againā¦

After Belegarth practice weād go here and I was going vegan so Iād pull the entire cube of sprouts out of the salad bar and eat it.
Then they replaced it and I would eat the whole thing again. Rinse and repeat until they stop replacing it.

Late to the conversation, but may I suggest: there is both good bad pizza and bad bad pizza?
Unfortunately Iām not even sure I can codify what constitutes either of these? But just like camp I know it when I see it.

All these bad pizza stories make me so sad I was really hoping for a thread full of ānopesā hereās hoping we never encounter this tragedy again.

I worked at a good New York style pizzeria through college and now Iām a pizza snob and I have to make my own pizza. I can eat delivery but Iāll never pay for it except for the occasional frozen pizza. Itās a terrible position to be in.
Also totinos party pizza is the best frozen pizza and itās also the worst.

I consider buffet pizza āgood bad pizza.ā Ciciās is obviously a cheaper make of pizza (less sauce, smaller toppings, thinner crust), but at least at my local location, it tasted fine. Same with classics like Mr. Gattiās or a local buffet we currently go to in town. Itās filling. I donāt feel sad to have eaten it or questioning of whether it will stay eaten.

100% yes. Whole thing is like a flattened out pizza roll and it rules somehow.

Every pizza Iāve had from out the garbage has been a huge score, and therefore more delicious than any pizza one could pay $30 for.
Should I tell you all the story of when I went hacker mode and simultaneously discovered an e-bike app hack along with an Uber eats delivery hack and would go āpizza hoppingā every day for 18 months before either accounts were suspended? I think itās best left for irl because there may be NARCs on the forum.

I live in Boston. Thereās maybe 3 good pizzas in Boston. There are maybe 6 good pizzas in the greater Boston area. Greek pizza (the majority of Boston pizza) is garbage and an insult to pizza.

Round Table Pizza here in the Bay Area has(or used to have, idk, havenāt been in a long time) these little shrimps you could get as a topping. Theyāre small and largely donāt taste like much but they create this nice texture with the cheese. When I worked there as a teen I used to always make those at the end of the day to take home, no one ever ordered it lol.

I have strong pizza opinions that Iāll try and summarize.
Pizza is beautiful because of its simplicity. More than 2 toppings on pizza is unnecessary and overkill.
Pizza is beautiful because of its flexibility. However, I believe in respecting pizza as it is meant to be. No chicken, and definitely no pineapple. If you use those as toppings congrats, enjoy your flatbread. But itās not pizza.
Pizza has the lowest floor of eatability (hence this thread) and is therefore the safest take out option. Even a bad pizza is usually still edible.
Pizza rules in all its forms (even when a flatbread) [and even if you find these rules disagreeable, itās just pizza]. I miss the NJ/NYC plethora of pizzas. Enjoy it if youāre there! (New Haven probably has the best pizza) [deep dish is casserole/pie not pizza]

I donāt want to cause too much of a ruckus in here but I feel like a lot of the pizza I have heard people describe as ācomfort foodā is stuff that makes me actively ill. Like I canāt eat a dominoes pizza - itās so oily and gloopy and extra salty and it makes me feel like oil is coming out of all my pores, and then I get a little bit sick later.
But I hear people describing this kind of pizza in āgood badā pizza terms and it makes me wonder about a lot of things.
Now to actually cause a ruckus, I have not enjoyed an actual Italian pizza - not in italy, not in the US, not in any country Iāve been to. I eat them but they are at best forgettable (vegetarianism may affect this, but I stand by it). Iām for american/new york style pizza all the way.

Reminds me I had a super salty pizza in North Carolina, I ate that shit up, but damn it was salty. Would not want to do it again lol. Everyone else got sick from it, too, thankfully I didnāt, but dabbed the grease off that sucker before I ate it (pro tip).
