You need to go to NYC and have a real slice. Pizza isn't supposed to be cut in squares, it has to look like this . Forgive my ignorance. Where is Astoria?

@barjoe I agree with you on the shape; the place cut their pieces that way, so I mentioned it.
To get to Astoria, go to Portland, Oregon, and then walk, ride, take a bus, or call me, and I will come and get you and go as far west as you can. When your toes are wet from the Pacific Ocean, turn around and face north, go as far as you can without getting wet, and then turn east and go about ten miles.
The most north and west city is Hammond, then as you come east, you get to Warrenton, a large block of land laid out for use during WW2. You then have to cross Young's Bay, and you are in Astoria.
Bring binoculars to view all the wildlife if you are in the area. If you are driving, pay attention to the elk, they do not always cross the road where their crossing signs are. They do not read. Neither do the deer.

@dalefvictor Sounds beautiful. The inner city is a shithole compared to some of the beauty in this country, or even places within Philly. We've got busting food tho.

I have no idea what a martinet is, but of it means there's a right way and a wrong way, that's me.

I disagree about pineapple. Maybe Spam. That's very Hawaiian.

@barjoe When we've got a lot of pineapple, we tend to put it on everything. Today it's bananas for me. I've got too many bananas.

@Julie808 Must be beautiful. I hate to say it but my city is pretty much a shithole

@barjoe No, I'd better not, haha!

I like crushed pepper seeds.

@barjoe I put those on pizza sometimes, along with garlic powder and oregano.

@Organist1 When I get a slice, they have all that on the side along with parmesan in a shaker.

@barjoe That's good too!

I've had "Neopolitan" pizza, made in Philly if course. It's good but I prefer Brooklyn style. I'd love to try pizza in Italy, go to Rome and Naples for the real deal.

@barjoe That’s what I was talking about…it takes some beating eating it where it originated.

Maybe for Domino's or Little Caesar's. There is good pizza in Lancaster and the crust doesn't need a mayonnaisy dip. I would never do that to a pizza.

@barjoe each their own!

I disagree. There's some things that just aren't proper. What is this world coming to? You're from Texas. They probably give you ranch on the side by default with pizza down there. Stick to Tex-Mex or BBQ. People need to stay in their lane.

@barjoe Thar's an extremely rude thing to say, I have seen what people in your neck of the woods call cajun food and boy are they off, but if that's what you want to eat, I have no problem with it, just don't serve it to me. Don't assume I'm originally from Texas just because I live here now. I have been in many countries and in 49 of the 50 states.

I don't know of anything I would put ranch on, but enlighten me as to what you would mess up with it.

@glennlab I'm sorry Glenn. I was only kidding. I didn't mean to be nasty to you. Sorry.

Ranch is for salad. Blue cheese dressing is better but people with weenie pallets prefer ranch. I remember when they came out with Hidden Valley Ranch when I was a kid. It was an envelope of powder my mom used to add buttermilk they had a carafe with a lid and you'd shake it. It's salad dressing. Not for pizza.

I was in Chicago, they love their pizza. They have deep dish and "NY Style" The better deep dish pizza had double crust. It's more like lasagna. Only a 4 year old puts ketchup on a hot dog.

You're right. It has been around for a while

I think Domino's & Pizza Hut started this. Maybe Chuck E Cheese. I went to visit my buddy in Jacksonville FL and he ordered Papa John. I asked him 'can't you get better pizza than that?' he told me no, he can't. Do maybe people dip because the pizza sucks so bad in their region they have to do something.

@barjoe I believe you hit the nail on the head! Papa John and a few of the others you mentioned have some of the worst pizza I have ever put in my mouth. I would never willingly eat any of them again.
