    there’s no excuse for making a bad pizza. It’s pizza, it’s very hard to do it wrong

      Misc toppings on bread dough with some kind of cheese is probably thousands of years old.

      While originally topped with Velveeta, Altoona-style pizza is popularly topped with yellow processed cheese known as American cheese. The yellow squares of American cheese are a staple of this dish, used instead of the mozzarella or provolone common to other styles of pizza.

      Everything about that paragraph makes me feel ill.

        Mozzarella is nice though, just that it’s mentioned makes me feel a bit better. As if the world isn’t broken completely.

        Following the destruction of the hotel in 2013 by fire, other local restaurants began serving Altoona-style pizza

        It could have died there, but they had to do this

    American cheese on pizza? that’s the kind of thing I would do if I’m down to the last two items in the kitchen, and feel too lazy to go shopping, but still would hate it

      That’s the type of thing you make if you have nothing else in the fridge and you can’t go out to get anything else. And you’d keep that shit quiet and never admit to it to anyone.

    I’d hork down a barrel of sketchy dicks before I’d let this abomination inside of me.

    Honestly this doesn’t sound like it would taste all that bad. Thick crust, tomato sauce, green bell pepper, fried salami, and Velveeta cheese? That’s gonna be pretty tasty. Calling it pizza might be the biggest issue, maybe something like open faced pepper sandwich would be better.

        Urgh, here in Canada they tried to trick us with “delux” kraft dinner. Velveeta is so bad that I avoid name brand KD to this day due to one time over a decade ago. How in the artificial fuck do americans eat that stuff?

      I mean, you just described a thick crust hot pocket. Which isn’t bad. It ain’t good, but it ain’t bad.

      Pretty much, any combination of bread, cheese, and tomato sauce is edible. The salami is just there for texture
