It was much too dry to be called a pizza. Indeed, it was like a slab of crust.

That looks like a decent dough to me, and the sausage is not too shabby either.
Did you order that without sauce and cheese as a joke?

Ta gueule, laisse-moi finir.
One summer when I was a teenager I worked a couple of shifts at a pizzeria owned by some Bosniak immigrants. Every morning the chefs would make a "breakfast pizza" that the whole staff would sit down and eat together before the restaurant opened. It was a thin pizza crust with raisins, figs, pineapple and drizzled with honey. It was really sweet and delicious and I'd eat it and listen to this one guy who'd tell me a lot of hosed up stories from the bosnian war.

This was in Sweden btw

It’s like how I feel about powdered eggs or corned beef hash from a giant can. I can’t say it’s good but I have a powerful nostalgia for it.

E:Oh god that gives me an idea for a powerfully nasty pizza, if only I had a kitchen.

Listen, lad. I built this pizza up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was bread. Other chefs said I was daft to build a pizza on a bread, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the bread. So, I built a second one. That sank into the bread. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the bread, but the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest pizza in these lands.

Are the second slices of bread beneath the ones with toppings there to stop the sauce from leaking through to the tablecloth, oh good lord I just saw the rusty chain at the top of the photo and now I am mentally placing it as a topping on the bread but anyway, or ... or are they going to become pizza sandwiches?

Ladies.
Thought I'd take a sec to set a baseline standard for American pizza ITT. Here's one of the least-expensive national pizza chain options, a Little Caesar's double-pepperoni:





It's $6.50 after tax. The basic version with way less pepperoni is $1 less. The pizza is 14 inches wide, which is standard for a “large” pizza. Cheese is clearly the limiting expense; that’s to be expected on a budget pizza, as it’s the most expensive ingredient. Unless you're trying hard to find a poo poo pizza, this is about as bad as it gets, and I wouldn't rate it any lower than "edible."

I have a pair of go-to pizza joints in my hometown, one of which runs about $12-$14 for a multi-topping large, and another which is about $22; the latter is an extremely high-quality thin-crust pie. I could have ordered one of those this week, but I took one for the team and ate a Little Caesar's kiddie-pizza. For you.

"Jorge wants to be hardcore,

people call little caesars inedible garbage and that's just hyperbole. it's exceedingly just fine for a national chain pizza especially for $5 when you need to feed 2 kids on a friday night.

Yeah and they even have stuffed crust pizzas, which I genuinely thought was like Pizza Hut's intellectual property or something given how I never saw them anywhere else

Did they just start delivering with the pandemic? I definitely never thought of them as an option for delivery in the past, but that might just be because until I moved to the East Coast I thought they no longer existed as they had all gone out of business around where I grew up

idk but for whatever reason i also just assumed little caesars did not deliver for my entire life.

they didn't/don't - it was pick up only, part of how they kept costs down.

And that year, for his birthday, he got six pink ping pong balls in a little pink backpack.
They're really not a bad option at the price, and owner Mike Ilitch was a mensch. I feel way sadder and more deflated when someone calls out for Pizza Patrón.

For $6.50 I'd eat that easily. If I get delivery from a local place it'll be about $25+. Better pizza of course but sometimes I just want garbage.

I have no idea what this dish is, but I do want to comment on what it's reminding me of. I once had a variant of poutine that used southern white sausage gravy, and god drat was it loving fantastic.

This picture looks like a much sadder, less good, version of that.

Here's a thing that this thread has started making me think: "Pizza Americana", the one with hot dogs and french fries, is actually one of the most uniquely European styles of pizza. Agree or Disagree?

I think it was one of the first places to pioneer the concept of dipping the pizza itself in ranch or other sauces/dips to make up for the otherwise inoffensive but cheap taste.

Agree- I was mad when I saw it for the first time and later amused when I found out what it was called.
