before the beatings commence - can someone please explain to me why eating a pizza with a fork is so offensive? ( I tend to eat the tip to mid with a fork and the rest by hand )
Same reason why drinking beer with a straw is OMG NOT DONE (and yet I do anyway).- combination of arbitrary rules and regional preference.
New York, there is only one possible way to eat a pizza lest you be subject to EXTREME JUDGY-FACE. Which is the way Jon demonstrates. Forks are just... not on.
It's pizza. It's got its own handling system by default. The only reason you'd eat it with a fork would be if it's unable to support its own structure, in which case you have a bad pizza in front of you that doesn't deserve to be eaten anyway.
Ahhhh - I suspect my definition of goodpizza must be skewed then - cause I like mine so overloaded with veggies and whatnots that the tip ends of slices can never support that weight.
The problem with having the overloaded pizzas such as the "house combo" or the "everything" pizza is that you end up with more of the topping than of the actual pizza, and it becomes hard to tell if you even have a decent pizza underneath it all. You may have a good boatload of toppings on top of a terribad pizza.
The REALLY bad pizzas, though, are the ones that can't even support their own structure when they don't have any toppings.
Even though I'm originally from Chicago, not a fan of Chicago deep-dish pizza. Too much shit goin' on. Like they didn't plan that ish properly. I prefer my pizzas on a thin, thin, crispy crust.
That was hilarious! My BF and I were watching NBC nightly news the other night and saw that pizza footage and were like, "WTF?" I said, "why doesn't he just fold it and eat with his hand like any self-respecting NYer?"
