[QUOTE=danjee;49494026]Eating pizza with a fork and knife is not to be spoken ill of. Ever had Chicago-style pizza? Ever had a slice that will always droop down when you pick it up? Ever wanted to start eating super hot pizza? Ever not wanted to get greasy as fuck?[/QUOTE]
Sorry, do you mean Chicago-style bread and sauce pie?

I think the proper name is "Deep Dish". The term keeps getting mixed with some shitty thing another US city tries to serve saying it's the same thing.
[QUOTE=27X;49494892]Pizza Hut pretty much invalidates your entire argument.
The toppings available from "order any pizza with any number of toppings for ______" are going to be amazingly bad. They probably feed the animals they use for the topping better.

I'm [i]so sorry[/i] that my 30 second prank for a pineapple lover falls short of your standards for enjoyable pizza.
Here, let me re-do it by placing a mock telephone call to a [i]local, non chain, family owned, brick oven fired[/i] pizzeria for one medium pizza with only pineapple, record it, edit it, upload it to youtube, and post it here for your viewing pleasure.
Y'know, so that my joke doesn't invalidate my argument that you should mind your own business and let people enjoy what they want.

can anyone explain why pineapple on pizza is supposed to be bad
Yeah, these are tough to pull off considering how some of them are fucking infinite fractals.
[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;49496352]can anyone explain why pineapple on pizza is supposed to be bad[/QUOTE]
Because people are dumb and like to judge other people based on their personal enjoyment and taste.
Same reason men are looked down on for enjoying mixed drinks.

It's a personal preference thing
There's a fairly popular streamer I watch (Joel) who is very outspoken about his dislike of pineapple on pizza, who once revealed he eats banana slices on his tacos

It's more of a long standing joke at this point.
Also funnily enough, our debate class had a parody week because nobody could decide on a topic so we decided to debate if "Pineapple Pizza is a real pizza topping" and the night before I ordered pizza - they delivered the wrong order and gave me a Hawaiian pizza.

that's like asking to explain "why is drinking vinegar mixed with orange juice so bad"
I don't care for pineapples that much, but I daresay they go better with Pizza than half the other things people put on pizza. Especially mushrooms, which don't go well with anything.
Me and my roommate tried cutting a pizza like the old method that's in the OP for shits and giggles

Or anchovies. Tried them once, and they were saltiest to the nth degree. Ruined the whole pizza.

The fuck you talkin about? Folding pizza is how it's done.

Did you just insult real pizza? Did he just insult REAL PIZZA!? Very inaccurately I may add. Clearly you went to a shit place if that's your description of real pizza.

Looks more visually appealing than effective, honestly.

Tell me - is this the New York pizza that touched you?

Get your fscts STRAIGHT[/QUOTE]
Disgusting!
I bet you were the one to make stuff like the McRib a limited time thing!

As you add more toppings you get less of each one so the added expense drops the more you put on. Pizza is extremely cheap to make, most toppings cost next to nothing.
I still don't get what's wrong with the classic 4 cut, 8-slice pizza. You can easily divide that into 16. Anyway, in theory yeah everyone getting the same exact amount is fair but nobody ever eats exactly the same amount anyway
[quote]One advantage of the new technique is that crust is divided unequally, meaning crust haters can choose slices from the centre, while crust lovers can pick slices from the rim.[/quote]
or you could pizzas in square (three straight cuts by three straight cuts, unless its below 10 inches then 2 x 2 or piecut) for the exact same effect.
I've even gone so far as to make a donut shaped pizza for my bosses son specifically to generate [I]more[/I] crust pieces.
[QUOTE=bdd458;49493527]Scientifically speaking it's a fruit man.[/QUOTE]
Culinary it's a vegetable.
There's no fucking botanical definition of "vegetable".
"Tomato is a fruit" pisses me off to no end. Yes it's a fruit from a botanical standpoint, smartass. So are cucumbers, peppers and eggplants. If you're going to go around calling everything by its botanical group, then please be sure to call carrots tubers and peanuts legumes.
