plain cheese pizza

[Killed_by_Death]

Putting together my order for pizza today, with seven toppings.
Coincidentally a pizza comes on the TV, & it's huge.

They open the box & it's just plain cheese pizza

Do adults really eat plain cheese pizza?
I thought it was only for children.

There’s a pizza place here that I like that has a “Margherita” variety with no meat, just various cheeses, sauce, and a little garlic. It’s pretty good.

But I always get a slice of pepperoni too.

It's the standard by which I judge a pizza place.

Yep, that's a real pizza in my book, but fresh basil is the key. Extra garlic and Italian sausage is my jam though.

It's understandable that non New Yorkers would be dissatisfied by a plain slice. You need toppings to cover up the mediocrity.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I haven't been eating meat on my pizzas for a few years now.

Brooklyn style is almost always best when it’s just cheese.

 

[bholder]

Yup, I eat plain slices all the time. No need for extra grease.

 

[Yosbank]

All the time!

Yep, but you misspelled New Haven.

A local place makes a 5-cheese pizza (mozzarella, cheddar, provolone, feta and parmesan) that's really good.

Give me plain Old Forge style cheese pizza any day.

I really miss home sometimes.

 

[knumbskull]

Throw some chopped chilis on there and i’ll choke it down.

Actually that goes for pretty much anything.

I respect CT pizza. It's inferior but at least it's not the Chicago style casserole.

On the last part we can agree. I grew up in CT and there were only 4 places I considered real when I lived there. One was a Greek joint I could ride my bike to, go figure. The other three were the classic N.H. coal fired ones on Wooster St. There's plenty of awful pie in NYC, but the goods are sublime, no doubt. Nice that the water's good for something!

I had a friend that picked off everything so it would be only cheese. He wasn't too finicky because something was always missed. Only adult I knew that liked it.

I ate it at times with the kids when they were little.

That's cool. I can't say that I've ever eaten pizza cooked in a coal-fired oven.

 

[Oddly]

Isn't pizza up there with politics, gun control and religion on the banned topics list?

It's surely as contentious and probably more important.

Personally, I've been known to indulge in a plain ol' cheese pizza and have enjoyed it but my go-to is

...

Pepperoni and Pineapple, with some chili flakes.

I stand ready for your misguided derision.

Those ovens stay hot (up to 900 degrees) for years non stop, maybe decades even. It's a whole experience way beyond the food part, especially in New Haven or New York.

One thing we all need to agree on is people who like pineapple on pizza have low moral character.
