But what about toppings on a pizza?
Refried Beans, Enchilada Sauce, Ground Beef, Black Beans, White Rice, Green Chilies, Tomatoes, Red Onion, Corn Tortilla Chips, Jack & Cheddar Cheese & Cholula Hot Sauce.
That almost sounds like a tlayuda.
That sounds like an awesome loaded nachos, and nothing at all like pizza
There’s a pizza shop near me that uses a Vegemite and mayonnaise based sauce on its Australian Style pizza.
Now, this isn’t actually true, I’m just workshopping infohazards that can actually injure pizza fans.
This could be the basis for an SCP. It’s a pizza so foul that it literally kills anyone who considers eating it.
I recently learned about this, which is also known as Rhode Island pizza strips. I haven’t had the chance to try it yet
This is such a US meme, holy shit.
Not even Randall can escape it!
This is not a meme.
To be fair, the comic artist is from Boston. This comic strip had been around for almost 20 years.
That is a disingenous excuse. Most xkcd comics are pretty universally relatable.
What he means is that while his memes are in general universally applicable, this one is a US-thing.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I stand by Baltimore’s Indian pizza. Excellent pizza, excellent Indian food, somehow even better together.
Oh hell yeah that sounds good
Yup. I grew up in LA, live in Chicago for a while and loved it there, don’t care for NY at all, but NY pizza is best pizza. Fact.
St Louis style is basically sauce and plastic cheese on cardboard.
Actually, provel was engineered to be the perfect cheese for pizza. It stays melty after it cools which keeps the pizza stay gooey even when the pizza is cold. Pepperoni, onions, sausage, and green peppers is the perfect way to eat it.
I feel like this graph needs a line that indicates your baseline normal pizza
NYC pizza is the baseline
As much as I love Jon Stewart, NYC has the worst pizza in the country. Don’t get why people love a limp pizza with the wrong ratio of bread/sauce/cheese. I’ve had better school lunch pizza than your average New York slice. Chicago style thin crust or Midwestern thin crust, or neapolitan are all worlds better pizza.
I seriously doubt it’s the most common pizza sold.
It’s thin crust nature makes it economical for selling hot slices, but horrible for delivery and for reheating.
It’s funny how it’s so geographically close to the excellent Dayton style pizza
DiCarlo had eaten pizza in Italy during the war, and attempted to recreate it in the United States.
However, its method of preparation is polarizing, and it has been negatively compared to Lunchables.
When I was a kid I was pretty excited to get the “pizza” Lunchables
attempted failed miserably
Sounds like they weren’t able to get their usual motzerella order one day and as a result designed a new pizza around American cheese 😅
If they called this anything other than pizza, it’d just be weird quirky regional meme food.
It’s the fact they’re trying to pass this off as pizza that turns it into an abomination. An affront to all sentient and/or algorithmic creators of this universe. A blasphemy so heinous that evil itself shies away.

Altoona-style pizza originated at the Altoona Hotel, which was noted as serving “a unique pizza” in 1996 by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.[6] Following the destruction of the hotel in 2013 by fire, other local restaurants began serving Altoona-style pizza.
The place that created was destroyed by natural disaster and it was enough to stop the pizza. This is a food that exists in defiance of God
A pizza you can make in a toaster oven
Isn’t that called a panini?
Can Elon hurry up and put a chip in my brain so I can erase this knowledge?
