Overrated Pizza

[*winter*]

When I was in college, I worked in a facility in that area…one resident would order Mineo’s for the staff and it was divine. That was years and years ago but I still remember lol.

We had our organic chemistry class on Wednesday nights and our professor embarrassedly admitted it was his pre class tradition to go to the PH buffet with his wife every Wednesday before our class lol.

Those buffets were so cheap back in the day but they were good and you could eat as much as you wanted for like $10. They even started giving my job a discount day when our office moved to the neighborhood with the PH buffet which made it even cheaper. I wonder if that PH still exists. It even had pasta bakes and those pizza desserts with fruit too, and a salad bar!

Bollo pizza out here is where I generally go for pizza. Since pizza at the grocery store has gotten so good now, I buy that. It’s cheaper and it taste just as good as some of the pizza around town.

I see that you’re new. Hi.

Question for ya. How can you like freezer aisle pizza like restaurant, freshly made pizza? You’ve never burned the hard palate of your mouth from eating DiGiorno?

Winter, was the Mineo's in the Pittsburgh area?

I hear you. It’s like gas station pizza. There’s something in it that always upsets my stomach.

Lmao!! I forgot about that. I can let that kind of pizza sit for 10 minutes and it still obliterates the top of my mouth. It retains and absorbs heat or something. Shit’s hot as hell.

Haha - maybe I should have clarified it a little better. During Covid lockdowns I had to improvise. I’d add my own toppings on the store bought pizza and it made a world of difference. I made it taste just as good as pizza around town.

Speaking of toppings, anybody have a toppings preference? Toppings you can’t do or won’t eat?

As long as it’s all meat, I’m good. None of that weird pineapple or any kind of fruit on my pizza.

mushrooms-white cheese-spinach!

Papa John's is so gross. It may be that I got insanely sick off of it my freshman year of college during finals week. (So much that I ended up vomiting on an ER doctor who didn't hustle when I said I had to throw up again.) Even after 28 years I can't do pepperoni. And it's always swimming in grease.

Best pizza-- Wolfgang Puck's prosciutto and arugula pizza with a balsamic glaze drizzle.

And pineapple does go on pizza. LOL
