>using anything but your bare hands to eat pizza

>>4794235
My point exactly, if I ever saw somebody eating pizza like in my picture, I think I'd puke.

>>4794230
Only if it's the soggy cardboard known as New York Style pizza, which the rest of america doesn't consider part of america anyway.

>>4794237
That's so disgusting, man..

If a slice of pizza is sq ft and can't support its own weight I see no problem with eating it like that.
Also you must projectile vomit at the thought of calzone.

>>4794230
How else am I supposed to let the oil collect so I can drink it from my pizza goblet?

>>4794245
New York owns America. What flyover shithole are you from where the pizza is so fabulous?

>>4794230
no but thats a goodlooking slice

>>4794256
New York is an amazing place if you like looking at overly bright advertisements and copy cat gift shops full of pissed off Indians.

>>4794249

Well, I don't consider that a pizza at all, I see it more as bullshit for sub humans.

That's not a pizza, OP.

I'm not sure what you'd call it. Pizza crust with spray on toppings maybe? Worthless unless you have dipping sauce.

>New York owns America

What year do you think it is? Nobody cares about New York anymore. Also New York pizza is only good because New York has the most pizza places, obviously they have more chances at having good pizza. And even then all your ingredients that go into making those pizzas are coming from other states anyway.

>>4794271
I've been in and around the place. There's nothing special about it except for artificial hype of the city.

>>4794269

No. Fuck you. I'm looking at you NY. Your tap water doesn't mean shit to me.

the restaurants and bars are unbeatable if you have a bit of dough.

Whoa whoa guys, let's hate on Americans in general, not just New York.

>>4794282
if i have a bit of dough i can just bake it in my own damned oven.

>>4794282
Yea, I'll give them that but that is all they have. The only reason they are even there is because New York City is such a massive tourist trap.
I don't know why anyone would want to live there.

I want to try some chicago style pizza someday, though

>>4794230
Yeah. You kind of have to when the slice is bigger than your face.

Otherwise, there's no need to fold, so we don't fold.

>>4794505
Why would you ever eat a slice of heart attack food bigger than your face? I don't get it.

>>4794507
BECAUSE FUCK COMMUNISTS

Actually, the thinness of typical NY pizza means that it isn't as huge an amount of food as you'd think.

>>4794489
Good, because you shouldn't regret it.

>me
>greasy burgers
Please. I honestly don't understand why people would eat that.

Only New Yorkers eat it that way, since they buy it by the slice. The rest of us just fold our pizzas in half.

>>4794230
I do, and am not in New York but in US.

My dad did it and I started doing it young, I don't see anything wrong with it.

I think I saw someone do it once.

Needless to say, he didn't survive to do it twice.

>tfw i like both jew york and chinkcago style pizza for different reasons

>>4794230
So, you just eat it with out folding it? Does your mouth look like you just ate a pussy when you are done?

>>4794230

Some of you people are retarded... if you fold bread in half and put PB&J in it, are you gonna puke also?

Who gives a fuck how you eat pizza, its all the same shit going in... fuckin' roll it up and its still...

A FUCKING PIZZA.

>>4794230
i do

I do sometimes if it's a really wide slice or too floppy to hold normally.

but as a habit, no

>>4795103
Not an aqual analogy. Taking a whole already made pbj and folding it in half is a better analogy. And that's fucking retarded as well.

>>4794230
I'm American, and I don't.

So I guess not.

>>4795189
Damn, haven't seen that pic in forever.

no

Real 'Murkans quadruple-fold.

>>4795166
it's closer to taking a large piece of bread with a layer of peanut butter/layer of jelly and folding it in half

the food doesn't change, the shape changes, and, in this case, the person eating it may prefer to bite into two sides of the bread (or crust) rather than one side bread and one side topping

the concept of pizza (and the fact that it's eaten by hand) is so retarded in itself that no matter what you do to the shape between it being on a plate and being in your mouth means nothing

>>4794230
I don't really like folding my pizza like that.

Instead, I eat the crusts off mine and roll it up as tight as possible. Makes dipping into sauces that much easier.

>>4794230
New Yorkers do.
And seeing as New Yorkers make better pizza than the Italians, I think they have more authority when it comes to it.

>>4794230
We also dip it into ranch sauce.

New York has been turning into modern San Francisco for sometime now. It's horrible. RIP SF and NYC.

This is how Americans eat pizza.

>>4794230

This is how Pizza eats Americans.

>>4794313
They know Jack shit about American Pizza, Italy doesn't even make pizza close to the way America does, it's good but it's not what you think of when you hear "Pizza"

On another note, at least the worst US pizza is better than the 'best' italian pizza.

I live in West Virginia and have been eating my pizza like that for 30 years. I have no idea why this is bad.

But that's the best part about living in a big city!

ITT: Retards believe: If you fold your pizza, it completely changes the taste - always for the worse.

I'm from NY and I eat our superior pizza like that all the fucking time.

>>4794300
I went to NY and had pizza. It wasn't anywhere nearly as good as the place down the street from me in SoCal. Granted, I was in Long Island when I had pizza and not Manhattan, but still. Utterly crushing.

>>4795621
you didn't have pizza in nyc then. it's a huge fucking different. brooklyn or manhatten pizza is where it's at.

New Yorker here


Any of you who said "no" or "Thats disgusting" is a pleb of the highest caliber.
Do you know how greasy a pie is? Especially when you get pepperoni.

You see, we have two reasons for folding our pizza.


1: Unlike the rest of the world, our superior New York mountain water is rich in minerals, giving us superior dough. This is why we have the greatest pizza and bagels in the world. Instead of beging fucking cardboard bricks like you see in TMNT, we have nice soft yet crunchy pizza. Inorder to not let it flop around like a flaccid penis, we fold it so easily eat it on the go.


2: Pizza is greasy as fuck, especially when you get a whole pie. When you fold it, all the grease falls to a singular point, and you can do what you want with it from that point on.


Fuck you all

>>4797958
>having that picture on your hard drive

Are you like fifteen years old, dude? And in that case how the hell do you know about TMNT?

>>4797958
wait, new york has mountains?

>>4797963

They're small, but yes. Also what teenage new yorker failed to mention was that about 1/3 of our water (at least if you live in Manhattan) is piped across the river from New Jersey, which kind of ruins the whole mystique which is why you don't really hear it mentioned much in these pointless pizza shit threads.

>>4797962
There was a TMNT movie released a couple years ago or something.

im from mass and i love folding my pizza, im always in a rush so im used to eating fast, plus you get a double bite from it
everyone saying its gross obviously hasn't tried it

>>4797958
That water with minerals thing is bullshit. The only difference between NY style crust and every other pizza crust is the same difference between every pizza crust, which is the amount of water, flour and gluten, and the baking method. Even with dough prepared with your NY sewer water you're not going to get a NY style pizza with one of those conveyor belt ovens at Domino's, no matter how much you try.

AHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAAHAH
This is the worst bait i've ever seen.

depends for me, my local place sells a quarter of a pizza as 1 slice so you need to fold it to eat it without getting messy as fuck, no point trying to fold a standard slice

>>4799280
You should get that fact checked boy.

>>4794242
if i ever saw somebody eating standard round sliced pizza with a fork i'd call them a faggot and give them a swift punch for being a sissy.

>>4795227
Fucking disgusting Americans.

Extremely big slices you have to eat like OP.

>>4794235

That is the most specifically useless utensil I have ever seen.

Only Chicago style pizzas you're allowed to fold. New York and Philadelphia you have to deal with however big a slice you get. And unless you are a small child utensils ARE NOT ALLOWED. Never walk with a pizza, exception is at a party but it must be on/over a plate, if you break this rule you are a fucking pig. Finally, if you get the last slice of pizza, do not announce it, nobody fucking cares just order another god damn pizza. These are some rules that I follow.

Four things I like about New York:

1. New York strip steak
2. New York cheese cake
3. New York style corned beef
4. New York pizza

Everything else 'New York' can suck my ass.

>>4802640
If the crust is reasonably dry (eg. Domino's, Pizza Hut's hand-tossed crust), I use my hands.

If the crust is soaked with grease (eg. Pizza Hut's regular crust, many local places, etc.), I'll still probably use my hands, but I won't blame anyone for using utensils.

>>4794256

Chicago.

>>4794269
This hits closer to the truth than most other things out there.

The only people who live in New York are

A. Rich Yuppies
B. Poor college students/hipsters who live in a single bedroom apartment with 7 other people and pay $2000 a month.

Since everyone is posting Onion articles, I'm curious, are there any making fun of/talking about brutal truths in the Peoples Caliphate of Yurope?

>>4794311
What's the difference?

>>4795261
It's been a decade or so since I live in New York. Is the Bronx still psuedo gangland? I also heard that the hipsters emmigrated from Harlem to Queens.

>>4795621

I despise Southern Californians, and Californians in general.

You will never find a state with a higher concentration of arrogant, hipster, liberal, hypocritical shitstains. Seriously, these are people who will cry about oppression while gangbangers are raping a woman two blocks away.

There needs to be a 10000 foot peak or two in there somewhere to call them mountains with a straight face. The ones in NY State are more like hills.

I'm Italian, and when I see Americans eating pizza, I just cringe.
The other day I was in Rome, the city I live in, in this pub. At the table next to mine sat three Americans. They ordered a pizza with a shit ton of toppings (tomato sauce and cheese plus wurstel, pepperoni, veggies, everything they read on the menu) and when the waiter brought it they asked for ketchup, mustard, and fucking olive oil.
Mind you, even our basic Margherita is pretty juicy by its own, normally.
I saw them drowning every slice with greasy runny condiments.
But it wasn't enough. Oh no.
They asked for grated Parmesan cheese, and put a serious avalanche of it on their pizza.

My face. Pic related.

Things I like about NYC

1 The subway
2 Street food

and that's about it

>>4804954
As an American I can tell you that Americans really seem to love condisments. Not trying to be a special snowflake but I never really understood it, either.

>>4805002

We love tasty, juicy, and well seasoned food, either.
But food is also a matter of balance, while eating you need to take account of the different tastes, the way they match — not just how much of them you can put in your mouth.

But I get the point, it's a silly discussion.

>>4804954

I'm American, those guys are weirdos. Who the fuck puts ketchup and mustard on a pizza.

>>4805039
I'm Italian too and I don't believe >>4804954.
Or maybe I just don't want to believe something so horrible can be real.

>>4797091
but southern California is the best place with the best of everything you fucking mongoloid. even the goddamn weather is a perfect 73F year round

>not putting a variety of condiments on your boring pizza

there's a limit to "authenticity" guys.
it's pretty authentic to wipe your ass with a bunch of leaves (or your hand even), but we've evolved past that long ago.

>>4794303
>Isn't that how italians eat it?
Italian pizza is crispy, not floppy. If you bend it like that it would break

>>4805639
Those are called crackers. Nice dough w.o.p.s.

>>4805886
Crispy pizza is best pizza

>>4805639

no.

>>4805639
... no... ItaliAnon here.
Our pizza is not crispy or, rather, it shouldn't be. It's about the same consistency as proper Indian naan. I've never once in my life had a crispy pizza though I wouldn't necessarily think there's anything wrong with one, either.

>>4805978
domino's "thin crust" its like the consistency of paper bags stacked to a 1/4 inch

>>4806009
That doesn't sound good. I'm sorry if this is anyone's only experience with supposed Italian pizza. That'd be like me judging American cuisine based on what's sold at McDo: it just wouldn't be right.
I like our pizza varieties (and indeed prefer them, though this may be due to cultural bias), but most foreign pizzas I've had aren't bad up to and including American varieties I've tried. Except Philadelphia "pizzaz." Fuck a whole lotta that noise. White dough spread with "Italian seasoning" laden extra virgin olive oil then topped with white Kraft singles, pickled "banana pepper" rings and raw tomatoes. Repulsive.

>>4794230
some people do OP

I eat mine open faced, and I also dip it into some kind of sauce (sweet chili sauce for example) before I take a bite

>>4794230
Only if the crust is soggy or too soft to lift the normal way.

>>4806062
lol. no one in the US thinks of Dominos as a good representation of pizza.

i'm not; i just find it amusing

>>4806094

I would have agreed with this statement in the past but Dominos really has improved their quality since their overhaul. Sure it's still not top tier quality but I would say its at the top in mid tier quality

>>4806186

I also want to add on that Little Ceasers is what college kids buy with their shit beers now that dominos no longer does that 5 for 15 deal

>>4805002

Americans don't have good tasting food. Have you ever seen the regular hot sauce threads? 100+ posts discussing the pros and cons of sauce used to cover up the taste of your crap cooking.

>>4806273
So the French have terrible food too?

>>4806274

I don't remember seeing a lot of vinegar chili sauce in France. Is that a new thing like in the past 5 years? Or maybe a thing outside of Paris?

>>4806279
90% of French cooking is sauces.

>>4806282

Most of which have prescribed uses and taste nothing like the crap that /ck/ indiscriminately dumps over everything they eat. But nice try at false equivalence.

>>4806286
Yeah, they dump it over everything they eat, regardless of country of origin, so it has fuck all to do with American food.

>>4806288

If you're gunning for that argument whereas nothing eating in America is "American food" except corn tortillas, dried salmon, buffalo meat, and boiled acorns, then I guess you have a point. Then again, not really. There are a lot of people who simply cannot imagine a meal without a bottle of random hot sauce to drizzle over the food because the possibility that the food might actually taste good on its own is an alien concept to them. Regardless of whether those microwave hot dogs are technically based on some German thing or whatever.

This is literally the only way to eat pizza. You cannot physically eat it any other way. You also cant call whatever you eat pizza if it doesn't look like this.

I honestly didn't know anyone could think there was a problem with eating pizza. You understand that this is THE way to eat pizza right?

This thread is the equivalent of
>lol they eat soup with a spoon

My name is Skippy but I like this Jif file.

What is pizza?

Pizza gets thinner the farther north one travels in Italy.

Roma was an inch of cheese, meats or/and vegetables, with a 3/8 " > 1/4" bready crust.

Firenza was closer to a thin crust/somewhat bready below (the toppings) with but a baked oven feel all around the pie.

La Spezia I can't recall the the food. My companions of extended family, the ocean views, playing guitar despite the language barrier, Woody Allen and Gene Wilder in a theatre... the food was good, the wine was better, the company was the best.

Milano pizza was a paper thin crunchy crust, with what would be best described as tomato sauce poured onto the lightly crisped home-made cracker.
Parmesan cheese or similar lightly sprinkled on top of the marinara.

>nothing eating in America is "American food" except corn tortillas, dried salmon, buffalo meat, and boiled acorns

>>4805639
Naples style pizza is floppy, disgusting undercooked shit.

>>4794230
If the slice is too large to support its self, like italian, new york or other thinner style pizzas. Something like Papa John's who uses a much thicker crust supports the slice all the way to the center and no fold is neccessary.

I also fold to prevent sauce from getting on my face.

>>4794230

NY style pizza, yes. I've on occasion used a fork and a knife to cut off part of the tip (sort of like >>4794235 ) if its too soggy but otherwise, yeah.

Chicago style pizza is difficult to eat like this, you can't fold the slices so I don't bother. I also get some italian style pizza and fold the smaller slices like this when I'm able to. If the crust is crispy enough that you basically have to eat it like tortilla chips, then I don't fold it.

>>4806758
Chicago style pizza, it's a weird cheese pie.

All pizzas are pies, not all pies are pizzas. Chicago pizza is the Milli Vanilli of pizza.

>>4806785
Calling chicago style pizza is a misnomer so picky faggots would eat it and relate to it. I wouldn't call it a pizza, but I would call it delicious.

If anything I would call it a lasagna pie.

If you can fold the crust like that, the pizza is not cooked well enough.

The toppings won't be cooked enough and you can get sick that way.

the only time you wouldn't be able to bend it like that is if the crust is insanely thin, cracker-like even
