What's up with that? People everywhere seem to have such strong opinions when it comes to pizza, whether it be frozen, delivery, what have you. I admit, much as I try to keep myself out of such petty squabbles, I get just as heated as anyone else when the topic of pizza choice comes up. Really, I have yet to find a pizza that I truly dislike; pizza is surprisingly hard to get totally wrong outside of toppings, but still if someone suggests ordering Dominoes, I want to strangle them. Other people clearly feel the same way when I suggest Pizza Hut. It always inevitably breaks down into pizza camps; half the room says Pizza Hut is greasy, sloppy shit in a box, while the other half claims Dominoes is little more cardboard with plastic cheese and ketchup on top. Then there's the one or two guys in the corner saying they both suck and we should get pizza from the local store that has the pizza weighed down with so many toppings you can't even pick it up without the slice falling apart completely.
I mean, why? Food has always been a realm of strong opinions and dismissal of opponents, but with pizza it seems especially venomous. I once had a guy tell me that rather than get Pizza Hut, he could just shit down my throat and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I apologize for that imagery. Does anybody out there NOT feel extra strongly when it comes to pizza preference?
Also, just between the two, I think we can all agree that Pizza Hut has infinitely better buffalo wings than Dominoes. *flees*
