I hate your fancy pizzas
(8 votes, average: 2.75 out of 5)
Loading ...People who like pizza
People who like a pizza-like meal that has barbeque chicken, pineapple, and/or gyro meat on it
Last night, I joined a handful of fellow Atlanta bloggers at a pizza joint. It was an interesting experience. Most of the people were pretty nice, some of the people were pretty normal, and at least one person was pretty cool. Some of the time.
But aside from that, I learned an interesting lesson: you can learn a lot about a person by the type of pizza they order.
What happens when a Whole Foods yoga treehugger gets a hold of a pizza. New rule: if you can no longer see the cheese, it is not a pizza. Unless it’s a meat lovers and the cheese is being covered by our tasty animal friends.
I blame California Pizza Kitchen for this nonsense: Thai pizza. Gyro pizza. BBQ chicken pizza (which is actually okay). White pizza (WTF!?!). Broccoli on pizza. None of these are good situations.
I’m a believer that pizza comes with cheese (if you’re on a diet), pepperoni (if you’re know what stairs are), and maybe some sausage, mushroom, or garlic can be thrown on if you’re on a date that’s going badly. This experimentation is uncalled for. If I want a gyro, I’ll eat a gyro. If I want a salad, I’ll order a salad. But when I’m hungry for pizza, I don’t want a gyro salad pizza.
I only bring this up because I worry about the implications. I think we’re on a slippery slope here: pizza is a gateway food and we’re seeing this experimentation take hold in tacos, too. We have fried chicken tacos, asian tacos, desert tacos, and more. Will our children be eating buffalo chicken Golden Grahams? This is a future I don’t want to see.

This group has a pretty fun activity of passing a napkin around where you write the answer to a single question. The question last night was, “What is your biggest pet peeve?” When I found out this was the question, I was about half a PSI from total skull explosion. Seriously? Someone asking me what my biggest pet peeve is? Um, can I answer infinity times?

why you are here...
You are here because you are awesome and you celebrate awesomeness.
You are here to read a new post every weekday.
You are here because there are two types of people in the world: people who are here, and people who suck.
you didn’t happen to be eating at everybody’s pizza?
they are all about those crazy salad pizzas.
You should’ve just written “Read my blog” on the napkin.
I mostly agree about fancying up pizza. I do love the fried chicken tacos & beef brisket tacos at Tacqueria del Sol, though.
no, it was Jacks on N. Highland. Usually a pretty good place, definitely for the money and if you want to see girls with tattoos all over them.
I make a habit of writing “read my blog” everywhere I can. Yesterday, I wrote it on a baby.
Agreed on Tacqueria, they’re good. Don’t blow my cover.
My pet peeve is the phrase “pet peeve”
My pet peeve is hippies from North Georgia named after a tree-hugging, anti-baby-seal-clubbing environmentalist organization.
My pet peeve is people from Atlanta who think they know pizza.
And we all know how dangerous a slippery slope can be.
Gawd, keep Evan away from those fancy-pants pizza joints that serve “cheese-less pizza.” I mean, why not just pass on adding the dough while you’re at it?
