The Degradation of Pizza
Okay. I grew up in Connecticut, a suburb of New York City. So, naturally, I believe that New York style thin crust pizza is the pinnacle of pizzas. Also, back then pizza consisted of crust, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, some garlic, and, maybe, pepperoni or sausage.
Nowadays, almost every pizza store offers many toppings, some of which like peppers, mushrooms and even onions make sense. But pineapple on a pizza is an abomination. Well, I just found out about Toppers Pizza. As the name implies, they specialize in what goes on top of the pizza. It's enough to make 'Lucky' Luciano rollover in his grave.
Here is a list of toppings that are available: jerk chicken, bacon, pickles, macaroni noodles, taco sauce, taco meat, tortilla chips, tater tots, spinach, and artichoke hearts!
These concoctions are not pizza! We need to come up with another name. Any suggestions?
What next, Hank? Are you going to complain that so-called "salads," with their pine nuts, arugula, feta, cranberries and the like are an abomination? Iceberg lettuce with thousand island dressing is the salad you grew up with.
ReplyDeleteNo, that would be Italian dressing. ;-)
